    Get a puller.

    My Tail Lights Are Different than everyone elses???

    Those "clear" tails would have been better if they didn't have the fresnel lenses still molded into them. Would have to re-engineer the lighting, but as it is, it looks crappy.

    1JZ Thermostat modification for cooling

    Looks like the end tanks are blocking a LOT of air as well :(

    Auto Tranny cooler question.

    Typical of cars designed with a certain MTBF in mind. It's sucky, but true...

    You mean like the MKIV had?

    Oil level?

    You should also never use a chain wrench that way... You need at least a rag between the wrench and the pulley or you risk seriously damaging the pulley.

    So drivelines that work?

    Doubtful...and 5-speed SC300's are rare as well.

    Targa top question

    Yep, they do that a bit. Loose subframe will make it even worse though.

    Oil level?

    Less mechanical advantage. First gear gives you a huge mechanical advantage in moving the drivetrain. It's not hard to overpower the e-brake with a large breaker bar and the tranny in first gear...

    Auto Tranny cooler question.

    Nope, not all autos have filters, most are just screens (don't know on the supra specificly, but I know on many toyotas they use only a screen). Even the filters and usually glorfied screens and won't filter nearly as well as a true filter setup.

    Airflow at X psi elevation difference?

    5psi after the turbo is 5psi regardless of the altitude (since opening the wastegate is fighting a spring). For anything NA or a boosted application without pressure control (some old turbos, some superchargers) it's a different story. It's why boosted was the way to go for airplanes in WWII.

    Well I scored a 89 conquest

    Well, it's not really a DSM motor either, as the intake and exhaust are swapped compared to DSM motors. Cool cars, shame their quality wasn't very good...

    More than likely NOT the IAC...

    1JZ Thermostat modification for cooling

    The MKII definately doesn't have as much ducting and undertrays from the factory as the MKIII. Stock radiator is a bit smaller as well (and if it's original it's probably clogged).

    Airflow at X psi elevation difference?

    You're right with the first arguement. You might have a bit more lag though. Second arguement might be true if you ran without a wastegate...

    1JZ Thermostat modification for cooling

    Messing with the t-stat isn't going to change your temps under load, just lengthen the time needed to warm up (and screw up the tuning since it's tuned for a higher temp). You need more capacity.

    Didn't think there would be enough room for a straight six in there...

    Couldn't live without an MK3

    Yep, they put them in around here and I had the same feeling about them. Even worse while driving the miata...
