    You need to meet Ian, search for the shed and the shed 2. Welcome to Supramania Coty. I caution you that if the forum were any more addicting we would have to put a surgeon general's warning on the front page.

    If you like jack in the crack or are broke

    We have no JitB here unfortunately. Nor do we have a white castle, sonic or any of those other great places that are on tv. In such a densely populated area you would think there would be more than just McDs BK and Wendys.

    Supra falls on its face when floored.

    Adjusting your fuel pressure is a rough tune that gets you in the ball park of where you need to be. From there you fine tune with the SAFC. You want to minimize the correction % across the board while maintaining the desired AFR. For example if you tune your car with the afc alone you might...

    Why must I sometimes put R154 in 1st gear to get into reverse?

    Exactly, I'm a broke college student that spends alot of my money on stuff for my landscaping business. I just bought another plow truck and its the first vehicle I've owned with under 125K on the clock and also the first one that didnt have at least one worn syncro. Double clutching makes the...

    Where's my Compression??

    I think you misunderstood. I doubt your HG is defective. What I was saying is your Headgasket has a max Ra spec. The Ra number is the variation in the surface measured in microns IIRC (I'm no machinist, so dont quote me) What this means is that the surface of the head and the block must both...

    Why must I sometimes put R154 in 1st gear to get into reverse?

    No but I do minimize their use when driving casually. Thats primarily for fuel economy though. If I burn up my brakes, I can change them...doneski. I trash a syncro, I have to live with a gremlin or remove the trans and take it apart, which means downtime, workspace, tools, money, and...

    Hey Guys Im goin for it....

    Dont seam weld, stitch weld. A seam weld is not good because if it starts to crack, it can crack along entire weld. With a stitch weld, if a weld lets go, there is another independent weld on both sides of it.

    Why must I sometimes put R154 in 1st gear to get into reverse?

    And like anything else, the more you use them the faster they wear out, no?

    Where's my Compression??

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness RA is covered in section 4: Parameterization but I would reccomend taking a minute and reading the whole thing. Your MHG comes with a max Ra spec. I'm not an expert on the subject though, I reccomend doing your own research.

    Bad Dreams...

    How vividly do you remember the dreams? Your likely dreaming of UFOs because it is something that scares you. There is many theories on dream science, one of the more prominent theories is that your play out scenarios so if/when they actually happen you will know what to do. The fact that...

    First BHG ?

    One of the purposes of the PCV system is to expel the moisture in the crankcase as it is evaporated during a heat cycle. If you run your car daily you really shouldn't get milky buildup.

    Where's my Compression??

    Its not so much warpage as an RA thats out of spec for your MHG.
