    Stolen supra

    My White MKIII was stolen from me late last year in DUDLEY MASSACHUSETTS. I have been relying on the police, but they are useless. I would like this car back, even if it was cut in half. The VIN IS JT2MA71JXK0115862. It was white with the all white package, factory turbo, automatic transmission...

    Got a free set of Brembo's . Some q's on rebuilding

    This is kind of odd, The Brembo's I'm used to do not have dust boots, they have an o'ring with 2 backup rings as a seal. If you can't feel the scratch I'd leave it. Trying to blend it will change the size of the orifice and affect sealing of the piston the rest of the way around.

    Widest tire on "sawblades"?

    I would do the 225/245 f/r combo, but you have to keep in mind the sidewalls. 225/50 and 245/50's will look kinda kooky, because the sidewall dimension is not the same for both. The sidewall is an aspect ratio, sometimes you have to try on a new pair of shoes to see if you like how they look...

    w58 with a 7M-GTE?

    The Supra came with the 1GGTE at 210 hp stock with a w58 transmission in 1986 and I saw one that was a MKII in Japan, so the manufacturer is essentially saying that the w58 can hold at least that much. Add on 20% for the aftermarket that the Japanese have enjoyed since the end of WWII when Dr...

    Water jacket in back of head?

    So I should just use the cams from the turbo head...That's a no brainer, provided the head I'm going to remove is in better shape.

    Water jacket in back of head?

    The #2-#3 area is where mine is warped most. Any differences between the nNA and turbo head? I may have a spare.

    Water jacket in back of head?

    All the supporting data you can shake a stick at won't help my particular head. Which by the way has a longitudinal warp of .008 (not happy) as I stated...my head has severe pitting. probably as deep as .100. So it's either drill it or fill it.

    Water jacket in back of head?

    Well, I'm glad I asked! Just for the record, I'll have to drill the passage out. It's alsmost through the block as it is! The aluminum is just gone with some serious pitting corrosion. Good to know it's not altogether a bad thing. More people should probably be aware to look for this as this...

    Water jacket in back of head?

    I'm doing a BHG rebuild and noticed that the water jacket in the rear of my head is...not there. The block has an outlet, the gasket as well. In the head there is just a corroded aluminum area where the jacket should be. Anyone know why?

    Gomi Headers??

    I'm looking at headers, and not a lot is available. I searched the forums and didn't find a lot of useful info on compatability or manufacturer preference. There is this header on e-bay...

    Overheat-rough idle on start!

    Not happy......nothing I've tried has brought the temp in range. I'll do the bhg prep, and I'm sure I'll be doing the whole lobster dinner. Not happy, The head gasket isn't 20,000 miles old, and I have'nt done any (major) mods. I'll do this one myself to make sure it's correct.
