    opinions on tires for MKIV TT rims

    How about some Falken 275/45/17 in the back and 245/45/17 in the front? Depending on the model should be pretty grippy and about $150 a piece, maybe less if you really looked around. Mileage should be somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000. Or you could always go with some Kumho Supra tires(cool...

    11 MPH OFF! and some other difficulties

    215 is actually the width of the tire. 215mms. But I was confused earlier, bigger tires would make you go faster but would tell the speedo you were going slower.

    11 MPH OFF! and some other difficulties

    If you have larger than stock tires(meaning taller) your speedo will still assume u have stock sized tires. Therefore it will say you are going faster than you really are. This also affects your ABS because even though you are goin 65 it assumes you are going 76 and can really mess things up.

    Pics of the project supra and my other babies...56k wont spool this one...

    Why would he drop all that time and money and then not finish it? Its all ready well under way and has lots of work into it. Plus it looks like his other projects turned out fine. I have no idea where you are getting that from.

    ae86 7m

    Sounds awesome if you can fit it in there. Will it be a drift machine? You might want to find a 7mgte instead of putting a turbo on a 7mge because of higher compressing and no oil squirters. But people do it and have had a lot of success. Good luck.

    Purpose of BOVs?

    What exactly do they do? I know the release pressure when you let off the throttle quickly and such but are they really necessary? Can the pressure really back up and hurt your turbo like people suggest? I mean I know they sound cool but Id rather people assume im not running huge amounts of...

    Rebuilt short block?

    Well after careful time and consideration (and saving up a crapload of cash) I have decided that im going to buy a rebuilt shortblock to put a MHG and my head on. I dont have the time or the space to do a rebuild and I dont want a longclock. I just need to know where is a good place to buy...

    car overheating!!!!

    Yea it really could be any one of those things. When I blew my headgasket I was thinking the same thing. But with what you described and in all likelyhood its a BHG. Check out everything but save yourself some time and start with a BHG check. Sorry man.

    HP or torque, which do you prefer?.....

    Ok everyone this is the beauty of the 7m. Straight six turbo remember? We generally have about the same hp as torque. Unlike V8s which usally have way more torque and unlike four bangers which always have way more hp. I say why even argue when we already have the best of both worlds. :)

    Crank scraper of choice

    That sounds like a good idea. Wouldnt want to waste energy spinning oil around in a tank when you dont have to. I am definetely going to have to look into a crank scraper for my rebuild. I am almost ready to pull my engine now but rainstorms around here keep delaying it. Also I am having...
