    Robot Dogs...

    I saw the robot on another forum recently. Those are indeed a bit creepy. They aren't directly programmed for balance compensation or specific terrains and individual situations. They are a true AI and have sensors and cameras to adapt to terrain, as well as learn from mistakes and previous data...

    must read. scam about jiffy lube

    Not all repair shops are like this, but there are a lot of them that are dishonest. I've heared many horror stories working in body shops, from fellow colleagues doing even more rotten things to cars than simply not touching them. Not doing the work is certainly the lesser of two evils! When...

    Humming, blender type noise could that be wheel bearings?

    Are you certain that it's coming from the rear of the car and that it is subjective to speed only? Sometimes, especially on vehicles that have had a blown head gasket, the glycol in the antifreeze eats the oils out of the bearings in alternators and pulleys, which can cause a bearing problem...

    hard thought to swallow

    It sounds like a squeaky clean car, but do remember that paint fades and can be refinished. Do you own one of these cars? I see that your membership mentions it. Save the $4G for a turbocharged rig. Or better yet, sell the disposable compact and dump that money, plus the $4G you are willing...

    My appologies...

    Just so I don't get back on board here by stepping on with the wrong foot, I'd like to appologize if I peaved anyone, posting the link to the crash pictures of Hogan's kid's seemingly infamous accident. I have a bit of a fetish with seeing car crashes, from the exotic to nothing special at...

    Check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3qOWw2s-QM I'm looking to build an S30Z myself, but I may keep an L series in it, stroke it and go with a BRE exhaust and a snappy N/A cam... not sure yet. Get some pics of the project! I'd love to see it. If you're heavy into that car and...

    Bushing kit

    How frustrating. I know that polyurethane isn't an expensive or difficult material to work with to cast. Friends of minde develop skateboard wheels which require about as much precision as a bushing, if not more. Anyone with basic knowledge of cold casting could reproduce every bit of...

    New old stock...

    Hey everyone. Some of you may remember me, but I thought I'd post here anyway, since there are a lot of new members and I haven't been very active, if at all over the past year or more. I first Joined SupraMania back in October of 2004 and was relatively active then, but the site has gone...

    Maybe it's dealership time. :icon_mad: Fuck, I hate going to the dealership. :biglaugh: Well, if I have any sucsess outside of simply replacing the unit with a rebuilt one, I'll try and post some pics.

    PS rack tech questions -

    Well, that's cool. My curiousity was really on the sidelines with the PPS or not. I think the same thing happened with my car. There are some people working at auto parts stores these days that really shouldn't. I went to an Auto Zone to get some oil to change the fluid in my 5spd (R type...

    PS rack tech questions -

    Hmm. Okay. I'll have to check my production date. It's probably the earlier of the two, but you never know. I think I remember seeing an '87 production date. Does anyone know if the PPS was specific to any model? (Turbo, TEMS, etc.)... I would imagine it being a part of the suspension...

    PS rack tech questions -

    Okay, I have a few questions regarding the power steering systems in the MKIII cars. - - How do you identify the different types of racks from eachother to determine which one you have? - Were they specific or did they interchange on TEMS cars? - And what year did they change? I'm...

    What happened?

    This is the third time I have registered on this forum over the past year and a half or so. I remember someone crashing the forum a little while back, but did it happen a 2nd time within the past year and a half? Just curious. Thanks! Dave MisterTurbineTwister
