Synthetic fluid works well too. I run synthetic Dexron in all my power steering vehicles. Much more consistent feel from cold to hot, never any issues, stays clean forever. Also handles more heat than regular fluid.

1 Giggity's aren't known for headgasket issues, I'd be tempted to run a stock type composition gasket. I personally wouldn't stroke the 1 Giggity, it's a real spinner in stock form, enhance top end power.

My auto N/A will do burnouts at 2k rpm with an LSD. Sell the turbo and buy an N/A for burnouts

You can't blame the installers for a bad job. People want cheap and fast, so that's what they get. People have decided they don't want to pay people to become career tradesmen any more, so you get minimum wage monkeys working on your cars. I'm quite surprised a former manager of a glass...

7500 is no big deal briefly.

You guys do know that by being lazy, you are rapidly depleting all the good engines out there? Shame, seen it happen before to several makes of cars, ends up not being worth owning them. I bet you send the old engines off for scrap too?

Head gaskets don't just blow. They typically display warning signs for several weeks before they go. Your engine has been trying to tell you, but you didn't want to hear.

Keep driving it, it'll only etch the head and make it unusable. I don';t know why people don't fix these things immediately instead of it turning into a $3k rebuild?

Seriously. Just grab the shaft up high with a pair of multigrips or vise grips and tighten BEFORE you loosen off the spring compressor. The shocks never use the last few inches of travel so it's perfectly safe. Rattle guns are also great for this, just set them on the lightest torque setting...

Now look up pressure die casting, it can make extremely strong castings. Combine it with naturally ageing alloys and forged wheels are just a wet dream for street use. If you regularly break wheels you should tighten the nut behind the steering wheel up... Steel inserts have been eliminated, not...

You funny. Wanna buy a bridge?

I was waiting for the rider to start trying.

But it FEELS and SOUNDS like 14hp, and I WANT to justify the expense! I'd be surprised if a stock GE picked up 14hp with extractors.

I always laugh at the price people will pay for fashion statement wheels. At the end of the day, pretty much all aluminium wheels are die cast in some way. Tooling costs and production costs are identical over any type of wheel made this way. Die casting plants are huge and expensive to set up...

Why take the exhaust system apart? Just disconnect the block to exhaust brace, remove coolant lines and pry it away far enough from the head to allow head removal.

Pleated paper shits all over any other filtration media. It's cheap and very forgiving and the way good paper filters are made, has far more surface area than "add 50hp, super race" filters. Considering the biggest restriction in the intake system on a fairly stock Supra is the AFM (0n both...

My stockish 86. No plans for wheels etc. Just a nice daily cruiser with some mild performance enhancing. The interior is really nice on this car, especially considering it's at 380k kms (236k miles).

If you have fade problems with stock brakes, either you can't drive, your brakes are in poor shape, or you need a Ferrari.

There's nothing that can be done about the paint peeling back off the car. it's a bad paint job that needs to be redone eventually.

So you couldn't figure out how to make it work, so no one else has a chance? LOL
