    HAS ANYBODY SEEN THIS ?

    You give this one too much credit, he can barely string together a sentence let alone know proper spelling.

    One piece steel = cheapest One piece AL = more expensive but lighter Two piece = more expensive but added safety and smoothness (I think still lighter than stock) Either Jawsgear or Shaftmasters would be able to build you one. However, I think only Shafmasters make the two piece. EDIT: Here...

    Post pictures of your DD/Beaters!

    I have since removed the plastic cover. Apparently it holds a lot of heat in the supercharger and isn't good for the seals.

    Post pictures of your DD/Beaters!

    This is my beater. It's a 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. 3.8L Supercharged V6. I tend to get 22-24 MPG in the city and ~28 MPG on the highway. Not bad for a big car. Right now it's rocking the black steelies and winter tires. I keep this car as clean as the Supra almost all the time.

    Electric cutouts?

    That is the style I want but it is cast iron, only 2 1/4" and looks to be manually operated.

    Got a Supra replacement

    I know this but I think you missed my point. The difference is that this car isn't "special". Therefore when you are at the mall or at the movie theatre, you aren't concerned about the asshole outside stealing your rims.:biglaugh: Ever since I got my GTP I don't drive the Supra to places...

    I have some plans but no way to finance them right now. All I can afford this summer is the rebuild. It's going to be the most overbuilt 300hp car ever. lol

    Thanks, I did a compression test at the end of that year. I found out I had low compression in 4 cylinders. This isn't too surprising since the car has 230,000km. I hope to make more power with no more mods after my rebuild.

    Need to pick out a good body shop for a paintjob...What questions to ask.

    Paging Adjuster to this thread... Go look at Csnow's build thread. I know he put in some good advice there. Or just search his username with key words.

    Need advice on a sale price

    Do you know the offsets? Do you know if they will properly fit on the Mk3? Other than that, those tires aren't cheap but I have no idea about the wheels.

    Electric cutouts?

    I really want one but I feel the designs I have seen so far are severely lacking. I want something that redirects 100% of the exhaust flow. Not just opens a hole perpendicular to the exhaust stream. I know they work fine due to the path of least resistance but I don't care. I want it to...

    Quick Wheel Question

    They will sit in further than the stock wheels. This is not what you want. If you are spending the money anyways, pick wider wheels with lower offests. They will fill the wheel wells better and just look better overall. Here, read ALL of this...

    That looks dead on to me. Mine made 281 hp and 337 tq. I had a re-routed DDP, 3" exhaust, and intake and an MBC. The boost would peak at ~13 but settle to 10. Your graph is better than mine...more area under the curve. Mine falls off worse than yours. I have a pic if you want to see it.

    Retorque headgasket

    And make sure to only crack one loose at a time. DO NOT crack them all loose and then being to torque them down in order. Just wanted to make sure that was REALLY clear. lol

    Torque Plate?

    How much? I'm not kidding or wasting your time. I don't want to build my motor without one. I don't want the inconvenience of renting one and I can't find one north of the border anyways. Shoot me a PM and let me know. I figure if I buy one I can loan it to the locals in Toronto and save...

    Got a Supra replacement

    I agree with this 100%. It's nice to be able to park the car in less secure areas and not care. It's nice to pack the car with 5 people and nobody bitches/complains. It's nice to not worry about going through automatic car washes and the effects on the paint. It's nice to be able to find...
