    Windows 8 opinions?

    I will say this - I bought the Asus EEE Slate tablet, runs windows 7. It's FANTASTIC. I miss the keyboard occasionally - even though it came with a bluetooth keyboard, I rarely carry it around, but I literally never miss the mouse.

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    At least you *remembered* the clutch disc. I have on at least two occasions, had to remove something big - like the engine - so I could put in a part that I found on the bench after the job was done. This, by the way, makes for one of the nastiest practical jokes EVER. When your buddy is...

    Coolant leaking, heater bypass?

    No, for the bypass you just take out the valve and run a hose between the two points.

    Windows 8 opinions?

    I'm willing to bet it won't be that big of a change when it's on a desktop... they just keep demoing the tablet side of things because that's what looks the most revolutionary. Nobody wants to demo the same old start button and pull down menus.

    Yes, it's on top of the steering column for now. Just drove it home from his shop, in the dark... that LED display is holy shit bright. As in, you could read a newspaper by the flickering red light it shines on the inside of the car. I'm going to have to tint it or something. On the flip...

    Pretty much... there's going to be some oddballs in the works with your truck, I expect... like big wheels, transmission gear ratios, and more drivetrain loss due to a 4wd system. Here's the list for mods in the Supra chassis, in order, numbers listed are crank hp. - Intake, 235hp - Exhaust...

    Disable check engine light?

    Well... you *could* put electrical tape over the CEL. It's no more of a hack than removing the bulb. Personally, I think that putting up with the 'drives like 50 pounds of monkey shit in a 25 pound bag' effect would be significantly worse than the flashing light, but who knows? Maybe that's...

    Wow... it's not often someone catches me out, but Ryan's right on the money there, I meant ebrake boot. Anyway, today Bill wired in my new toy: I'll post up some kind of pic when it's not black outside.

    That looks like an upgraded wheel all right. Welcome to a turbo that's good for 400 rwhp!

    If the engine came out of a tuner car, make sure the turbo hasn't been upgraded before you replace it - upgraded compressor wheels are pretty common in that kind of car! Post a photo looking down the compressor intake and we should be able to give you pretty decent odds whether it's upgraded or...

    We've had a few of you truck guys passing through. There was a local guy here running a 7M-GTE in his pickup, he kept snapping drivetrain bits as I recall. What kind of power levels are you looking for? Seems like you'd be severely limited by traction running on sand / dirt.

    Ok, wtf is a chino? Yes, I Googled, and it didn't return anything useful.

    +7M-GTE Engine removal in 49 easy steps.

    The crossmember bolts to the frame, not to the oil pan. It is *under* the oilpan, though. It's just a simple bar with a bolt on either side, it needs to be removed or it will hit when you slide the engine forward.

    New shift boot is on the list... schedule for sewn items is always kind of up in the air, as I get my mom to do 'em. She's retired, and doesn't seem to run on the same kind of schedule as the rest of the world. :)

    when you just cant roll/ pull your fenders any wider, what are your options?

    315 with a smaller fender pull than what's posted above has been done. It does require absolutely perfect offsets, mind you.
