    Bhg???

    You have to be aware that there are different types of BHG's. Keep in mind that the HG's job is to seal not just one thing, but three (cylinder gases, water lines, and oil channels)! With that said, a blown HG can mean different things: it can mean that there is a leak from the cylinder to the...

    when is rod knock not rod knock

    Imagine if a doctor opened you up without the appropriate diagnostics beforehand. I am a big fan of proper diagnostics first, then operating second. So I must recommend a mechanic's stethoscope. I know one guy over there on SF mentioned using as scewdriver with the metal side towards the...

    what do you think of this mk3?

    Adjuster, can you post up a pic of a similarly painted car? I would be interested in seeing that -- if you can find one in a quick google search, that is. If not, don't worry about it. Although I like things one color for my own car/s, I do like to see different things.

    what do you think of this mk3?

    Actually, I just found out that hers is the one under the cover with the hood on the roof to give it that wide roof look. Not a targa:( To me the targa feature is by far my favorite feature of all. A hard top would not work for me at all. I like red, that is one of my favorite colors...

    cleaning engine bay

    I used a pressure washer on some parts towards the bottom. You have to be very careful though and not hit sensative areas. I used it towards the bottom of the block as I had some accumulated oil leaks. I also would like to mention that it worked awesome and I did not have any problems result...

    surface heads

    According to this article, both surfaces should be smooth. Any reason why you would think that the block doesn't need to be as smooth? I would think that the aluminum head would be more forgiving because it is made of a softer metal. Interesting that you would say the opposite.

    Rear Bumper removal

    No problem. Just a tip: there are these two big bolts that face down in the back of the inside of the car -- don't mess with those. I thought they were related to the bumper, but they are not. It would take a lot of force to take those out. Those two big bolts are towards the back. The...

    Rear Bumper removal

    You know, Wayne, sometimes the EPC can be a help in addition to the TSRM (at least for me). If this picture helps, here you go: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/EPC/MKIII_NATO/291410/5202_1.html There are a bunch of screws that you have to take apart from the inside. Some are towards...

    Looking really good! For those that don't know it, jjh welded that FFI himself. This is the first time I seen it although I knew he was making one. Oil relocation going on too. Very different overall as well. Nice job, jjh!

    More Respect Hanging Out With Ferrari Owners

    To be honest with you, it really is not my style. I have my own opinions and I have never said that I liked it. To be honest with you, for all you know, it is possible to be even further than what my idea of what the perfect Supra would look like, than your idea. My idea of the perfect Supra...
