Except Nashman :biglaugh:

I wasn't pointing out the obvious regular maintenance objective of spark plugs when I mentioned them, just the fact that they are made of copper and have to put up with everything Dirgle mentioned. That was it. I'm just somewhat frustrated at the pessimism shown by some members...

Our cars still don't see the power, temperatures, forces, strain (etc etc) that drag cars see...... (referring to the example mentioned a few pages back or so).

I know everyone recommends using some good aftermarket stuff, I tell my friends the same when they want to build themselves suicide machines. Still, the current Supra I'm building is seriously going to be my weekend chill-driver. I might take it to the track once every 2 months or so just for...

Good thing I have plenty of time to wait, and I'm in no rush at all. Also, I don't see why we use copper spark plugs, and that's fine, while using a copper headgasket isn't.....

Unless you spend hours on end flushing it over and over again :biglaugh: Doesn't eliminate all the crap in there, but does remove most of it with time! I could give the explanation I had to give when selling distillers, but screw that...... I'll only bother saying it on popular demand...

Not to sound rude, but maybe, just MAYBE, you should have given that a try in the first place :slap: :biglaugh:

I always use distilled water. I used to sell water distillers a few years ago. Really does make a damn huge difference with everything you do. I also wash the cars with the garden hose at my mom's friend's house where I had sold a combo of a water distiller and a water softener.

I got some spare, high grade bolts and put one into one of the holes in the back cover. To "dampen the blow" a bit, I covered the bolt with some napkins I had lying around, and just enough so the cam gear would instantly meet the resistance of the napkins without turning at all. It prevented...

Aight, fair enough. Just wanted to get all the questions out there. Didn't mean to appear to go against the experts. Btw, if a dual core rad is not possible, will one of the Koyo OEM style ones suffice? And yea, I've heard Phoenix is hotter, but it's the type of tropical heat we get...

Aight, let me see if I understood jdub correctly (correct me if I'm wrong, don't have to flame either). Ok. Basically, the t-stat is specially important if the car is driven around in areas with cold seasons, or just an average cold season (doesn't happen where I live). The main role of the...

Aye aye, Cap'n! ::salute:: PS: More like, put it back in there.

I just might do like Doward and go digi dash. Really damn intrigued by the idea. Think Prosport would make the rest of the guages in digital form?

I know what everyone will think at first, "oh, it's really going to suck to be him during Christmas season.". Doesn't happen in Puerto Rico where if the temperature drops below 64 degrees F, it has got to be the coldest night of the year with a heavy ass rain in which I wouldn't dare drive the...

No, you don't need to put it on jack stands, not even for the turbo. I have done it myself without having to use any jack stands to do either, turbo removal or intake manifold removal.

Good stuff. Thanks man. It was as I suspected after all.

I finally managed to drop by the shop to grab my spark plugs today. None of the nearby shops had NGK coppers available, just iridiums and I have read enough information from the Supra masters (IJ being one of the guys that influenced the most in my decision) as to have headstrong decided my...

I wanted to thouroughly clean mine and give it a small coat of paint, to make it look nicer. It's out there in the hot, Mother's Day sun drying up. Can't take mom to dinner until she comes back in about 4 hours, so might as well amuse myself doing something productive :naughty:

Yeah, I had already mentioned I had taken care of that clip. Just had to pull it out with enough force and in the right way. Thanks though!

A friend of mine bought a similar kit for his Tiburon. Personally, I honestly didn't notice much of a difference. I believe that if he had done his own ground kit, it would have worked out much better. The only difference was that the sound system sounded a bit better. Personally, I still...
