Looks like it was worth the sandblast you got at the beach. I used to live in Camarillo/TO area, and my car would always get sandblasted every time I went boarding down at the beach. (Mostly Pt. Mugu and Oxnard area beaches.) Dang, that was back before the 88 Turbo I have now was even...

Show him some Christmas sprit.. Use the straps to tie him to your car.. then give him a ride down to the local police office building.. Take the long way there. Merry Christmas! :) Glad to hear your still the owner of your car too.

It takes two simple brackets. One is a short 90 bend between the air cleaner mount, and the other is a longer 90 bend that supports the rear of the PS tank, and goes down, under the PS hard line bracket to secure it to the frame rail. Took perhaps 30 min to measure, fabricate, bend, drill and...

Interesting stuff.... On bigger turbo's, say over 70mm, this will help with low end power, and not really cost much, if anything on top. (Especially if you can now run a larger AR housing, but still have power down low since the "true" AR is now "half" when the valve is closed. As IJ pointed...

I re-located mine to the upper tie bar, and right frame rail. The stock tab that the air cleaner used to mount too is used, as is the stock bolt for the power steering line bracket.. It takes two simple brackets. One is a short 90 bend between the air cleaner mount, and the other is a...

One more vote for the Redline.

Yep, do that in a 240, and you might have died. Good luck on the resolution with the other guy's insurance. They should cover it 100%, but will hassle you on the value of your Supra, especially as they will not have any data for the car's value with the 1JZ motor in there. (You are going...

We have not had as much here in Boise as of yet, it's windy as all get out though, some drifts are 12" or more deep. Pretty much, it's about 6" at the most here. IMHO. But it's still snowing/blowing. I did shovel the walk, driveway and clean off both the Sedona and A8 that are in the...

LOL Chris, that is part of the issue. I'm tired of having it collect dust in my garage.. And it's snowing, so a even more powerful AWD car would be very fun, but I've decided to hold off on anything till next year. (Or perhaps longer.) The deals will be there on the RS6. I think they will be...

LOL, my custom downpipe removed both.. :) A 3 inch pipe is a 3 inch pipe.. If I had it all to do over again, I'd just go with a new exhaust manifold from China, adapter to raise and rotate the turbo, the MPT-70, at least 680cc injectors, and start out right v/s building it up 4x.. LOL Not...

Half a point of compression one way or the other from "stock" at 8.5 is not going to cause the engine to blow up on pump premium, or feel so lazy off boost that you will not want to drive the car. It can however, make the engine feel more powerful off boost if you are closer to 9:1 than 8:1...

Dang, snow in Portland.. Those quick tracks are cool looking. Do they work well? When I lived in Spokane, I setup 4 studded snow tires on RAV4 steel rims for the Supra. (Worked great, they fit over the stock brakes, and they have the right offset and bolt pattern.) The rims were 100.00...

Ah, but it would be a perfect world to keep both a Supra and the RS6, but alas, there is a economic reality world.. LOL I have currently a very nice 98 A8 that runs great, but is reaching that mileage point where things like half shaft boots tear, and other "normal" maint. stuff on a AWD car...

On the heat side, I'm seeing most owners of these cars have someone else do the upgrades. They like the shiny, polished exhaust pipes.. I'm much more pratical.. Will thermal coat, and wrap anything that is a heat source.. will vent the F'n hood if needed to cool it down better.. Add...

Yep, IJ, I should never have taken the RS6 for a test drive.. It's like a "Supra-A8" if that makes sense. The sales guy was supprised when I commented on the lag.. Says he's never heard anyone talk about lag on a RS6 before.. LOL There is a very tiny amount of lag between when you toe into...

Highway, at steady speed, best I've seen yet is 30mpg on this last stroker motor. (Tons of coated parts, free flowing exhaust etc.) Stock it was mid to high 20's IIRC. (I've had the car since 95 or 96, I can't remember exactly when I bought it anymore, might have been the summer of 96.)...

Here is my problem. In a nutshell, I've found I want a new "project car." LOL (2003 Audi RS6) My current project car is my 88 Supra Turbo. It's been a great car, and I've owned it for about 13 years now.. But, I have been tempted by the dark side, the side of AWD and power... Ultimate...

I'll have to keep my eyes on the magazine catch on my M&P 9. No problems at this point, but It is a new gun, so there should be no problems. I have thought about adding some more "grip" to the frame. (With a hot iron.) A stipple pattern in the right places would add to the control of the gun...

I'm a fan of the M&P 9mm.. Almost bought the compact, but went with the "midsize" version. (There are 3 options with two frames. The compact frame and shorter slide and barrel. Then two built of the slightly larger frame, one with a barrel about 1/2" longer than the compact, and one with a much...

Is that a doctor optic.. ? I think Burris makes one like this now too.. Nice shooting with it? Those are not cheap, that's for sure. :) My own grip is slightly different.. but I'll try the left thumb forward next time. (I've been locking my right thumb with my left over it, and left index...
