    Turbo blanket

    i used my Boost Logic on a ct26 while i was inbetween turbos. no problems minus needing to remove the studs (not really needed but didnt want to risk tearing the blanket) worked fine, you could touch the blanket after a hard drive w/o getting burned

    As predicted, you whining pussies....

    thank God someone else is thinking the same way I am! I'm so sick and tired of this end-of-the-world mentality. Every conversation with my folks (my father specifically) is that the COL is going to raise to $100k/year, gas at $5 a gal, etc etc that its really depressing

    The "Forbidden Swap"?

    if you are pulling it out of an IS they had the w55 tranny in them and its pretty rare to find. we recently had a thread about this over on my.is trying to adapt the 2jz - w58 combo and it was determined to be difficult but possible (main problem was length of the shift linkage). I agree with...

    What do you guys think of this Supra?

    someone run a carfax on it and see what the old inspections were. if it backs up the number 4000 is a good number considering its an auto and if the paint is in good shape. if the paint is bad drop another 500-750 off the price, but if the miles are legit its worth it. i paid 5k for my...
