    Finally lost my engine undercover...

    Sorry I don't think so. It is not negativity. It is cold hard facts. Designing takes MONEY either by the action of physically designing the part in question or getting it manufactured. Money is something that has always been lacking with the majority of these car's owner for some reason. Now...

    how much would you pay?

    In reality does it matter? ;) If they are Koni they are rebuildable. My opinon, go out and buy them. If there is nothing wrong. You got a steal. If there is something wrong, well you find a person that rebuilds shocks or contact Wiisass here and you are set. The "adjustability" mantra that...

    oil pump drive gear wont fit!!!

    By chance did you actually measure it per http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=84 instead of guessing?

    Brake Calipers

    More pistons won't do anything in our setup. We have a small torque arm (ie the diameter of the rotor is small) so adding more clamping force will do nothing.

    Where to find an exhaust manfiold flange?

    most are custom made. All it takes is a couple of measuring instruments to get the correct flange made and then ported in a CNC program.

    Power steering questions

    and to continue on adam's post 3200+ lbs of car vs 200 lbs of human with the torque arm advantage on the cars side = a the human losing the physics battle. You need either mechanical advantage by gear reduction or hydraulic assist.

    Finally lost my engine undercover...

    Can not do that. You are now messing with air flow going out of the engine bay that was factored in this car. Stick with what the OEM designed or don't bother. Altering because it MIGHT make it better does not mean it will.

    I Need Some Good Sound!!!

    depends. you buy new. Correct. Used, not really. I ended up selling my IDQ-CD1's for "cheap" as I needed them gone ;) Fiberglass, extremly cheap when purchased from a boat repair supply store. Not that hard to make molds for fiberglass. Processors. Again 15 channel works but none are really...

    aluminum arc welder

    look like crap? Porosity, contamination. Holds as good as the CORRECT Tig? Highly highly doubtful! The first area of concern would be how are they avoiding the Aluminum oxide? More than likely it becomes part of the weld as there is no A/C to "clean" the oxide film during reverse current...

    WHO KILLED THE ATKINS DIET?

    I am digging this one up as I ahd a feeling that atkins "fad" was going to go the way of the Dodo. Carbs are not bad, and neither are fats, proteins etc What is bad is the total lack of MODERATION IE. A chipotle burrito is actually enough to feed THREE people, two if you are a bit...

    more than you ever wanted to know about wire

    Ok some clarification is in order! The wires posted above especially the mil-spec stuff are rated to higher amperage ratings thanks to the jacket of the wire. As with everything else, do not run the wire at 100% rating! The wiggle room is needed as we humans and the stuff we produce is...

    new diet ....

    diet? no stinking diet needed. The first thing everyone needs that is overweight. EAT HUMAN PORTIONS NOT THE FUCKING FEED A TIGER PORTIONS that everyone in this country is used to! Excersice helps but if you eat like complete crap it won't do squat!

    turbo lag question

    KORYTOYORTA forget 500-600, whatever hp number of the day. Have you ever driven or ridden in a TRUE 400 rwhp car (does not matter what brand)? On a seperate note, HP on the cheap = a bucket plus a shovel and nothing more.

    Springs

    Adding to this as this will help with the information. Brought to you by none other than Claude Rouelle. (For those of you that are math challenged, forgo this and brush the math/physics skills up as this goes DEEP into mathematical equations and some physics).

    Your opinions on these coilovers please!

    it depends! How experienced are you in math functions? Finding out the base resonant frequency of the spring using the weight of the car for the front and back? Valving the shocks when step 2 is known. If you can not answer the 2nd question. Then let some one like Wiisass or...

    Finally lost my engine undercover...

    You will have engine cooling issues in the future. But I would get rid of it and start saving for one. Can not believe that a composite of one has not been made.
