    Stumbling Acceleration

    I just replaced my MHG with a composite one due to coolant seepage into one of the cylinders. When I ran the MHG, for about 25 miles, she felt nice n smooth, despite the HG leak. Now she's running again, but below 3500 RPM she feels like an old dog, she hesitates, stumbles, and stutters, and...

    Hard to decide, need inputs: turbo elbow, DDP, or cooleeze?

    It also depends on your budget. :) I found a stainless steel 3" elbow for $82 shipped, and a used HKS DP for $80. In my opinion, it was the best $160 bux spent.

    Deuce Haters!

    What the hell is a "Deuce" in refference to? I take it NOXIDE is getting flamed for his ride. My advice, who cares, it's your ride, do to it whatever floats your boat. One of my favorite phrases when it comes to personal taste is, "You should be the worst critic of your ride". $.02

    Head Gasket Part II

    I pulled the head about 2 hours ago and coolant was bleeding into cylinder 1 and 6. Like I sayz before, I was using an HKS MHG. I read somewhere about removing the rivits from a Cometic HG. Are you supposed to do that with the HKS one too?

    Friend Walks Away From Severe Accident

    Actually, I'm not sure if he's totally unscathed but seems in good health and good spirit. He dosen't remember what happened, he thinks he fell asleep at the wheel. His vehicle went sideways into a coconut tree, at what angle and velocity, I have no clue. Here's his ride. Before:

    More Respect Hanging Out With Ferrari Owners

    Ehhh, if I could afford one and I got one, that'll probably bee a sight you'll see. :icon_razz But I'd probably buy a Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo instead. :naughty: As for Lams car, to each his own, I'm interested to see his other 2 Supras mentioned though. EDIT: Lam, what's your reply...

    Custom cams came in....*pics*

    Those cams are freakin nuclear! I just sifted through the whole thread. I'm surprised no one has asked...What are the goals for this vehicle? I hear stock cams are good for over 600HP.

    Head Gasket Part II

    I wish I could, but I'm in debt right now. School + books, bounced check, the shop daily rental fee @ $5 a day (figure a little over a month), late cell phone bill. :( I should be ok in March though. I'll update after the gasket swap. I'm glad someone directed me to this forum. Lot's...

    Head Gasket Part II

    Well that's good news. Is the brake quiet, "brand specific"? Meaning Permatex is the only one I should buy? EDIT: I don't ever plan on going past 14psi. Pretty much as far as the CT26 will take me, with the appropriate upgrades of course. I'd hate to put it together and find out the...
