    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    Carbon is safer when it fails, but it will fail easier as they're quite fragile :( Road debris can and will scratch the driveshaft, and that will cause a failure of a carbon unit. I dunno about the "hanger lag" since there's a ton of performance cars running 2 piece driveshafts...

    All supras were built in Japan.

    Rarity of 042 Paint?

    It's a bit rare because it can't be easily resprayed (it's essentially a candy paint), so finding a clean one is kinda hard.

    I'm sorry if you enjoy comparing a high speed GT car to a POS grocery getter that can't hit tripple digit speeds. Oh wait, you're NA...

    Tell me more about GMC Typhoon...

    Keep in mind they're not that fast from a roll, they depend on the holeshot to win. Still pretty cool, though you could make your own just better (any 4x4 blazer + oldsmobile bravada AWD transfer case + grand national motor)

    How many people run an air filter on their BOV?

    Yep, the difference between a by-pass valve and a blow-off (or pop-off) valve.

    Lots of White smoke only after boost? Ideas on what I can try? Tons of info inside!

    As it's after the engine, it's white as it's not "burning"

    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    Yeah, I have a ton of parts sitting around to do this myself. Sadly, the condenser I have isn't parallel flow (same company, just before they made the better one :( )

    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    Yeah, not going to get much colder because of the way the system works to stop it from freezing up. Good job though, wonder what it would have done with R-134....

    Can't get the Supra to start.

    Code 11 means ECU isn't getting proper power. Check grounds.

    RPS Clutch hub spring popping off

    Yeah, you could use a stock pressure plate with that clutch disk. It's going to be harsh though as it's unsprung and a puck clutch...

    Bought a rebuilt block need help.

    As already said, use something like WD-40 to unstick the rings. Do you have any pictures so we can see how bad it is? Crank is indeed forged. If you have to replace pistons, forged pistons aren't much more than cast, and they're good insurance. Stock rods are quite strong as well if they're...

    HOW TO: Door Panel Arm Rest Rebuild

    Yeah, it's not really much of an arm rest. If you put weight on it, it WILL break. If the outside isn't messed up, you could simply fiberglass the back.
