Thanks. The tip really does look small, even in person. It bothered me at first but the look is growing on me. I took a video with my phone but the mic on my phone is garbage, you can barely hear the car. I'm going to try to borrow a video camera or something.

"auto-interiors.com" (I assume you mean stockinteriors.com since the name you posted doesn't exist) carpet is good quality, but it doesn't have the padding under it exactly like the OEM carpet so it doesn't sit perfectly flat on the floor like OEM unless you re-use the original felt and foam...

rofl... at least you tried. Nobody else did.

That's how I wired mine. It's been working fine, no weird voltage readings or problems. I only wired in the AFC Neo though. It doesn't draw much power, I don't know if the ECU wiring is heavy enough to run a VPC too. The boost controller you can just wire to a clean chassis ground and power it...

April fools! That wasn't a rod from your motor, I shot your car with an old timey cannon loaded with blown 7M connecting rods.

Nothing any worse than aluminum heads as far as I know. Motocross bikes (some of them) have been using magnesium engine parts for a long time (they actually say magnesium on the inside of the castings so that you know not to weld them). The biggest downside is actually corrosion, as bare...

Ok, thanks. I think the probe I'm using is good, but I'll look into it more to make sure.

I use the same tape trick, but with electrical tape.

Well the BHG isn't a rare feature, but it was only available from the factory on cars with the 7M engines, so I'd say if you take the value of an excellent condition 92 and subtract what an excellent 7MGE engine rebuild costs you'd be right around what the car is worth. If you want the value of...

I run max performance tires all year round on my car. I don't drive it in snow or freezing rain, only if it's cold and dry, but I don't have a problem with traction during normal or slightly quick driving. I don't drive like a racecar driver in near freezing temps though, because you never know...

I usually mount EGT probes in the collector on the manifold, but I have a divided manifold so I'd have to run two probes to read both sides, which is pointless because I'm running a single scroll turbo on the manifold anyway. I was considering mounting the egt probe in the turbine housing inlet...

I don't know if this was found/posted before, but I stumbled across it today. I've never seen such a detailed pin-out of the JZZ30 ECU and body plugs before. http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/47216384/1JZ-GTE JZZ30 Soarer

That could be it too. With stuff like this there's dozens of things that could be the problem. You just have to work through each one till you find it.

Damn, I was hoping for a good cigarette story. lol Good story though. Those C3 corvettes are a mixed bag... a stock V8 model from 75' might only have 165hp.... or it could be a big block model from the late 60's/early 70's with up to 435hp... or anything in between. If it had side pipes it...

1. Check your timing belt to make sure you're still in time and the belt is tight. 2. Check for boost/air leaks from the MAF to the head. Including the brake booster check valve (mine was jammed with rust inside) and other obscure leaks. 3. Check your spark plugs and plug gap. Boost leaks will...

You should check to see why the pedal box is binding. The original spring should be strong enough. Other people have installed them without needing a stronger spring.

I don't know why all my text turned into a link... please ignore that. I can't seem to fix it.

I couldn't stand looking at the muffler I put on when I first got the car any longer, so I hacked it off and welded up a new axle-back section... I found this muffler on ebay, it's made by Jones Full Boar exhaust (in the USA) and for $45 shipped it was a pretty sweet deal. It's their Max Flow...

They do make line that's easier to bend than the steel or stainless steel line, I use it for fuel and brake lines all the time. I do use a bending tool, but it's a $10 cheapo one from the hardware store. It's copper/nickel alloy line, sold under a few different names (Cupro Nickel, Cunifer). It...

There was just a discussion of this about a week ago. Just look through the list for a bit and you'll find it.
