    Race Ready 7M

    I'm done. That motor is completely race ready and is worth about 6 Grand. That is the one item on that car that needs to go into somebody's racing car.

    I miss that Supra. What's left of it is in some junkyard somewhere. I'm selling my spare parts on Craig's list. Look for them!

    I was aware that her 16y/o VW had a blown head gasket and it was through the coolant passage into the cylinder. That a repair was estimated at $3200, and that she was going to talk to them about what next to do... I suggested that if she decided to buy a car, get a late model used car if she...

    Race Ready 7M

    Coolant temp gauge is in the works. I'm not currently cooling the trans and dif, but want to see where the temps are, then when needed, I'll retrofit coolers. I recall Josbeat on this forum, when he installed the flat bottom to his car, he needed to cool the trans, but not the dif.

    My new oil temp, Trans temp and Dif temp gages are Autometer and work well so I'll take the car out to the track in Sept and I'll see what happens.

    1300 Kg Track SUPRA project

    Buy polycarbonate plastic with a scratch resistance. Use the hot air gun to mold in to shape, cut to size and apply window adhesive to seal and then fasten it to the frame. Several hour job. I had to use blow-out bars, as required over here with polycarbonate windows on the rear hatch...

    I'm using the stock coolant temp gauge, a Mishimoto rad and 19Lbs cap. It catches my eye on the front straight where we can reach speeds of 180... I get to 140ish. I go through both high speed turns 10 and 11 into turn 12 a big sweeper, onto the front straight and about three quarters into the...

    These are also on my list of improvements, excluding the front lights. I've prioritized my improvements for a new lighter clutch and brakes, then start doing all the rest of the improvements as time permits. You'll notice a lot less roll and pitch after relieving all the glass weight from up...

    Race Ready 7M

    Another track weekend with 85 -90 degree temps in the shade, and much hotter on the track at 120 degrees (on 3pm run). Had to let air out of the tires to help keep them from getting too greasy. Half way through a run they would start to go away, so I had to start managing them as I've never had...

    Thanks! You've helped me make my decision not to go with 16kg/mm, rather 18kg/mm and 12kg/mm (front/rear).
