    who here is left handed?

    I'm ambidextrous. It's a toss up on dominance though i can't hardly write legibly with my right hand. And I'm noticing right handed ppl don't care to announce that their left lobe is in control HAHA

    freeze plugs

    I'll put up a pic next time i visit the engine refreshing plant (machine shop) Zum, It doesn't show overlap very well but gets the point across, of securing the plug in place to ensure accidental blowout doesn't happen

    High Flow Catalytic Converters

    Am i really reading this garbage??? Why do hi-flo cats exist?!?! Think about it. California makes many dumb rules that only an official bent on nailing you would use to exact his revenge. Like the license plate up front law, 18" from the floor and lower than 36", yet a dropped supra is below...

    Article: The Warped Brake Disc and Other Myths of the Braking System

    ^^^ Haven't been on in a couple months, the new format looks very sharp Mike, YAY!! :D One work truck in my work fleet had new pads incorrectly broken-in. The vibration causes a feeling of unsure performance. The driver has the habit of gradually increasing pedal pressure as they approach...

    Rev Limit

    This is the first i've heard of adverse effects, can you educate me beyond the 'don't do it to stock engines' info?

    Heater core selection?

    ^ Can you re-word that? Seems thats its missing 'do the' after the 'I' but still doesn't make sense to me. Take the heater core and tubes out from behind the dash to work on it. Remove the o-rings and clips. Remove all moisture possible prior to heating. Prep the tubes by lightly sanding off...

    Heater core selection?

    I got a napa heater core for $90 when i learned of the dealer's outrageous price here. -You don't get the arms that protrude into the e-bay through the firewall. -You don't get new o-rings for the arms where they mate into the cores. -You don't get new stainless clips to hold the arms in place...

    Pics of my new Billet cams

    92nsx: The ct26 turbine is a definite choke point in flow. But it is interesting to see the power open up another 1k rpm using the BC cams and without changing the turbo, in your case. I like looking at dyno sheets when all the mods of the car are right there, its all in the details. Rich: I...

    Pics of my new Billet cams

    I would love to see what a dyno of these would look like! I've got a build that BC 272s are going into and i am indeed wondering where the 272s are likely going to fall off at, flow and HP wise I know i've a long ways to go before that point but i'm starting with a good foundation: aftermarket...

    aluminum under body panels?

    Your right, an undercover improving electric fan efficiency when they are already mounted directly to the radiator is silly. As for the aero, looks like i can't have my cake AND eat it :) I tend to over complicate simple things ;) But i still want the improved cooling an under cover offers...

    aluminum under body panels?

    Clip: Why do many electric fan cooled cars of today have fans that keep running even after shutdown? They have caution stickers that warn you about being careful that the fan may go on at anytime. Even my 84' 944 has its own cute tiny fans than whir away for a few minutes after shut down. But I...

    aluminum under body panels?

    I think an undercover is a very sound idea to improve cooling. Directing air flow through the radiator is only one benefit, provided that it left the rear portion of the engine uncovered to provided an exit for the hot air. Sound, while a flexing/bowing cover may make noise, if its made rigid...
