    more cooling needed.

    - There are several plastic pieces to duct air into the radiator on the sides. If you're missing them, you need them. - I know several people that have road raced 7M's and been perfectly fine with a stock cooling system. - Big radiator fits fine with the stock fan, try again.

    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    It's why I bought a TRD knob in the first place as it was cheaper than the stock knob!

    Non Flouler mod?

    So you removed the cat that doesn't get clogged and kept the one that does... Regardless, it's easy to trick the second O2 sensor, but it's illegal to do so, so I won't spread that knowledge.

    Anyone have any interesting/cool collections?

    I've got a pretty huge rock collection packed away in the attic. I also collect these guys (1/60 scale Perfect Grades)

    ECT button? or sports mode.

    Not normal for your radio to not work. It changes the shift points allowing faster acceleration in PWR mode. It will hold gears longer and also downshift faster and farther then in the other mode.

    Intercooler necessary??

    Keep in mind the 1JZ had a larger intercooler than the 7M. Makes more power out of a smaller motor... Personally I wouldn't use meth for that level of protection. Meth is good when you have safeguards (i.e. you're running it for a high boost setting and if you don't have flow it drops boost...

    optics/physics question for my curiosity

    Yep, as it's the entire basis behind something like Google Glass.

    Having some issues

    You have a big'ish turbo and no way to tune. You have to turn the boost down.

    more cooling needed.

    It's bad for the bearings because no lubrication for hte seals = water in bearings. Only reason to run pure water is because a track requires it.

    more cooling needed.

    Short term, not good for the water pump bearings. Long term, have fun with corrosion... Coolant in the cooling system is used for more than just antifreeze.

    Tack welding subframe to chassis. Tell me why this is a bad idea

    Would be safer to just use solid aluminum spacers to solidly mounts the subframes. Tack welds won't have the same suface area and if/when things move, the tacks might tear holes in stuff imho.

    more cooling needed.

    Undertray is important at high speeds (i.e. road racing) There's a lot of plastic pieces on the front that funnel air to the radiator...if they're missing guess where the air isn't going. High speeds, the fan isn't doing anything anyway. At lower speeds is where you need the fan, but what...
