    That works for me, however, the missus likes BIG ships, and doesn't much care for fast cars.

    Door Removal

    You also don't need to remove the door to replace the hinges. You'll need some patience and a few different wrenches of the same size... I've got a flex head ratcheting wrench, a regular ratcheting wrench, a regular wrench, and one of these...

    MK3 Torsen diff TBR?

    Nope, but we do know the damn thing is fragile as hell, which is why nobody runs with one.

    Dammit, this is starting to become a habit. I'll be away on vacation from the 9th to the 18th. :(

    This is what happens...

    It's not the plastic pieces that you need to worry about so much, it's bits of the turbo compressor blades going through the system at high velocity. Doesn't look like anything has come off the compressor ... yet. Run it unbalanced like that though, and it won't be long. Those plastic bits...

    This is what happens...

    When that goes, there's a very good chance it'll take more than just the turbo with it. Remember that it's on the intake side of things... so anything that breaks off is going to be pounded through the turbo, intercooler, throttle plate, intake valves, everything in the unlucky cylinders...

    Car is hitting fuel cut. But us all stock

    All correct. Chances are there's a bloody big hole in the intercooler / pipe system.

    Clutch Masters FX850 Users with R154

    I've been running mine for six months now. It's been flawless so far. I think Chrisco's idea may be overkill, but I've never been against overkill. :)

    I still care about looking funny. If it's ugly, it's not going in the car. Goes for girls, too.

    LEDs are improving FAST. In a few more years, they'll be everywhere.

    HID question

    I picked up a wiring harness from http://theretrofitsource.com - it has it's own power leads, and just uses the OEM plug for a switching signal so it knows when to turn the light on and off. I've been running it for a long time, and haven't had a problem to date.

    PacNW Supra Nationals 2014

    I can't speak to this specific event, as I'm not running it this year, however... It's always been open to other cars in the past, and other cars running Supra power plants are a bonus. Admittedly, we've tried to limit the off topics, and we tend to restrict the trophies and awards to actual...

    Heater problem NOT vsv issue.

    The actuator under the dash only affects the air path for the cabin, it has zero effect on the coolant path through the heater core. So yes, the heater hoses should both still be hot.

    Heater problem NOT vsv issue.

    It's not *hard*, it's just a long job. Popular opinion states that the assembly line for the Mk3 starts with a heater core, and everything else was built around it. You have to pull the dash, the crash bar, and a significant portion of the HVAC system under that to get at the heater core. Plus...

    The Mistress

    I'm not sure which starter it is... nothing in the catalog looked like mine, and we pulled up the starters for all the mk4s and a 1989 7M. /me shrugs.
