    how do you deal with not being able to drive your car?

    If I had a nickel for every time I said "I should just sell this f*&%ing thing", my supra would be a dependable 10 second DD and I wouldnt be posting in this thread.....:3d_frown:

    how do you deal with not being able to drive your car?

    do you look at other people's running, driving cars with a mix of longing and jealous disdain? - this And I beat on my wife's G35 Coupe (which I pay for...), all the while thinking "when the supra is at 100%, I'll smoke this car in reverse, up hill, with the wind blowing against...

    tranny noise

    duly noted. It was more or a less just a base line starting point for me.... I think 900 is a little low for MC for a true full rebuild (maybe im wrong), and if i sent it to them id want nothing less. I have my eyes on a used one with 120k that would cost me around 500 between tranny...

    Tubbie is Da Man when it comes to to Mk3 parts..... He is my favorite seller by far. Give him a little slack for the holidays, he will get you taken care of.

    noisey cam position sensor

    I have a recently rebuilt 7mgte with new cams. The old CPS was used on this new motor, and it is noisey as hell. I searched but this doesnt seem to be a common problem. Has anyone ever had this issue, and how serious is it? I know if the cps craps out the motor will not fire properly, but what i...

    2009 Nissan GT-R

    Neither one of these cars were built, engineered or marketed for 99% of the demographic of this forum. A large portion of the buyers these cars are intended for will not race them period, let alone take them down to the 1/4 mile track and line up next to a fox body beater... Owners of these...
