I'm planning on going.

They allow the car to get a little floaty at around 135 MPH:) I've been using mine for almost seven years, and they are great as a street damper even with RSR racing springs and Poly bushings.

Today, I checked the clutch pedal according to the TSRM; it is all WNL. So now it's time for the hydraulic system to get R&R'd.

Well, by heat shield, do U mean the motor? 'Cause I'm driving on the other side of the car... ;-)

I trust my friend and mechanic Wryann at VIP Performance, so I'm making an appointment to have the problem diagnosed and resolved by the end of this week. It was dark brown about three months ago when I flushed it and has been getting discoloration more frequently this year, after each fluid...

Here are the mods that made more performance from the BIC, DDP: That is a Vibrant bellows attached to the bottom of the dump tube. The opening for the recirc is egg shaped. Clearances are improved but not up to my standards. Plan is to modify the piece of the down pipe, that has the abrupt bend...

The fluid is very dark for being only six weeks old... :( The fluid is Castrol SRF Brake fluid (SRF) and the system was purged of the old fluid using the SRF and then topped up. Looks like the system is failing. I bought it from DM in 2006 and is listed as AISIN.

I'll have a go at it tomorrow. Thanks, IJ.

I'm hoping that it isn't anything more than pedal adjustment and/or hydraulic system repairs and then get four years out of it.

I'll have the mechanic check that too. Thanks, IJ.

Thanks Poodles. The engine is making 335 WTq now and during the Track Day it wasn't yet making that much, 298WTq. The Action PP is rated at 425ftLbs w/a stock Supra disc. From what U wrote, I'll need to take the car in for a check up of the hydraulics.

It may cause a fire from oil on hot exhaust parts! Get that taken care of soon. How old is your radiator cap? If it isn't holding pressure as it should it needs to be replaced.

I was passing another car on the street to get the lane I needed. The other driver sped up so I nailed the throttle and the engine over came the clutch... the engine went straight to the rev limiter. :( The clutch kit is a Fadanza FW, stock Supra clutch disc and Action 2800 PP. The OAT was 98...

I didn't ask Wryann, at VIP Performance (he did the testing). Though I never run the car higher than 13 psi. I'm a set it and forget it owner... I asked Wryann to set the tune for reliability and then I don't adjust the settings; ever.

Here is the latest Dyno test with the recirc'd BIC, DDP: There was no appreciable difference between the result of the second dyno test of the recirculated DDP or the prior dyno test with an open dump tube. Both tests were done in the same conditions, but different days. OAT was identical...

This is the Oil Cooler kit I'm looking at to help keep the engine cooler: Here is the web site as well in case anyone is interested in it... http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/category/OilCoolerKits They seem to have a wide array of parts to keep our cars outfitted with, some items Driftmotion...

This is the Oil Cooler kit I'm looking at to help keep the engine cooler: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/10990/OilCoolerKits It would be mounted in the space behind the driver's side fog light, with air guide, neoprene ducting and an oil cooler duct, to assure all the air gets to...

I just cut out the back of the crash bar to reduce the weight...

The purpose of the surge tank is to provide more cooling capacity to the system, on demand. It also acts as a reservoir of cooler fluid. The tank is connected in three places: to the top tank by a small 3/8inch line from the radiator fill neck; a 5/8inch connection at the bottom side of the...
