    Spec clutch problems?

    I emailed SPEC and someone responded very quickly.. He told me that if you let organic clutches sit for long periods (especially in high humidity) they may fail prematurly. He said the good thing is that everything else should be like new.. so he suggested just getting a stage 2 disc to...

    Spec clutch problems?

    Has anyone had any problems with spec clutches failing prematurely? I bought my stage 1 about 2 years ago when I did a tranny swap and I've only put about 10,000 miles on it. I don't usually drive it hard because I've been pulled over it Tampa about 15 times now for my exhaust, but the other day...

    Thinking about selling the supe.. any tips?

    The time has finally come.. I am thinking about selling my baby. I am closing on my first house in March and am getting married in October. I am going to be very broke for the first year or so that I am in the house. The fact that the thought has even crossed my mind reassures me that I...

    The First Car

    When I threw mine into a wall, the road was wet. It hadn't been raining, it was wet from sprinklers. I was going a little fast and I tapped my brakes when I hit the water and lost it. Now I could recover easily in that situation, but at the time I stabbed the brakes and turned the wheel back and...

    The First Car

    My '89T was my first car.. I threw it into a wall right before I turned 18. lol Some advice: -Buy good tires -Save AT LEAST $1,000 for repairs before you mod -Learn to use the "search" button before attempting to do anything to the car. There is a write-up on just about everything...

    Supra vs Deer: we both lost

    wow.. freakin hilarious drawing. Luckily we don't get too many big deer in my neck of the woods, but many a racoon/possum/armored dildo have crossed my path. I now aim for them.. especially if I am in my work truck. cute cuddly animals that have no idea whats going on - 0 : supra - 999

    One-piece aluminum drive shaft...

    Just a comment about lighter wheels. A cheap way to go is '94+ RX-7 rims.. they are 13lbs and I think you can get them for under $200. Same lug pattern but you will need a spacer. They also have to be from a '94+. The '93 rims are not as reinforced as the '94+ and I dont think they can handle...

    what have u beaten while stock?

    Not anymore... Other cars are making more and more power from the factory.. it sucks. I need to keep modding just to keep up. Of course the MKIII is cooler than all of them. 232hp in a 3600-3800lb car is not fast by any means. The cool thing about the 7M is the "bottled up" horsepower...

    weather outside effect power??

    Yep, and cooler air has has more oxygen packed in to the same amount of space (more dense) because the molecules are slower moving than a hot gas. Like how a hot-air balloon works.

    weather outside effect power??

    I think its about 1-5hp for every 10 degress cooler for an N/A and even more on a turbo. Elevation, barometric(sp?) pressure, and humidity also have an affect on how efficiently your turbo works.

    what have u beaten while stock?

    I raced my friends old 87 turbo2 RX7 when my car was bone stock. All he had was a K&N. We were absolutely dead even off the line. (I didn't power brake and he had a 5-speed) I would just barely pull on him every time he shifted though.
