    A good Daily Driver?

    Worried about fuel efficiency?

    Dunno what to say about this except...

    I believe in punishment that fits the crime, personally. The death penalty for someone insane enough to do this isn't fitting, IMO. Mind you, planning and following through with permanently... err... *disfiguring* your soon to be ex-husband, in cold blood, doesn't really fit into my world view...

    PacNW 2011 Weather?

    To be honest, I'll be surprised if I run at all. What's the point of paying money to race just to get booted off in a pass? I'd rather buy a sammich.

    Targa top!!!

    Word to the wise... don't let the ladies stand up at night. They will be grumbly about sitting down, however, they will be MORE grumbly after eating a bug. Or having to pry one out of their makeup. Or their hair. If you're going to make 'em wash their face, make it worthwhile.

    New Turbo, supporting mods?

    More like three years. ;) Running the wire for the pump isn't that bad... getting the tank out is a PITA, though.

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    Sounds like it's the CPS. Have you changed the o-ring and the seal on that? If either one is dead, you can lose a significant amount of oil through it.

    Unless you've prepaid, you still need to pay the regular $5 (I think) admission fee for spectators.

    Caravan to Supranationals

    I haven't seen one here... are you thinking about the Lynwood one on Supraforums?

    Must-have tools for MK3 maintenance / repairs / upgrades?

    Lots of extensions - mostly long ones, with a few of the shorter ones to make the right length for things like the transmission bolts and starter. Flex head ratcheting wrenches - most importantly the 14mm for the turbo, but buy the whole set anyway, the rest come in handy all the time. Set of...

    PacNW 2011 Weather?

    Hookers and blow? Seriously though, I find it really difficult to put any faith in the weather forecast around here until a couple days before it actually happens. Even then they are often wrong - it was calling for rain yesterday, instead I got hot sun. The only part of the event that is...

    New to moderating - warning, may get technical

    Well, first you need to figure out the difference between administrative features, like area setup / organization, and moderator functions, like editing a thread, profile, or moving threads. Next, find out what software they are using, and create an account on the support forum for that...

    Maft 1.0 questions

    Pics would help. The original MAFT won't work with a pressure sensor, it needs a Mass Airflow Sensor.

    Why are stronger rod bolts required as horsepower is increased?

    You're *almost* to the logical conclusion. You're thinking in terms of a single cylinder, though, instead of a complete engine. If you think about several cylinders working in unison, is there perhaps points in time where the piston is being pulled down due to firing in a different cylinder?

    Just found out my thyroid has to be removed

    I know a gal that had this done, she's been on the pills for 25+ years now, no ill effects, so you should be fine. Good luck nonetheless.

    130A Alternator ?

    A good alternator / starter shop can build you at least a 190amp alternator that still fits in the stock housing.

    Funny... notice that the fastest two cars out there were both Supras?

    mk3 4 a first car

    The answer to this is *entirely* dependent on the driver in question. Be honest with yourself when answering the questions: Can I keep my foot off the accelerator, even under pressure, for instance, with a hot girl in the passenger seat, and a Mustang in the next lane that I know I can beat...
