    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    Zero progress means don't post pics of an engine bay in progress - just the finished product.

    Clutch Play

    If either cylinder was bad, it would leak. If it leaks, there wouldn't be as much fluid in the reservoir. Sounds like you may have a worn clutch, instead. Or something that produces the same symptoms.

    a quik gauge cluster question.

    It's not broken, it's just not going to read the right number. Swapping in the volt meter *really* isn't difficult - it adds a whole 5 minutes to the procedure.

    No hatch piece... I thought about getting one, but I'm only going to use the bit on the back of the seats anyway, the entire hatch area has to be custom to allow a battery box, meth tank & pump, circuit breakers, etc, etc.

    To paint or not to paint

    Nice colors are pretty much pointless on the block. With the engine assembled and in the engine bay, not much of it is visible.

    DAMMIT. I've lived with a hardtop for so long, I constantly forget I can pull the roof for more room to work now.

    new dyno number precision 7475 built motor and meth

    Ah, I understand - I thought all those numbers were made at the same time.

    I bought it from a member here, who bought it from another member. I *think* the original manufacturer was a place called... wait for it... Automotive Carpet. How inventive. It fits pretty good, but it doesn't come with any holes cut. The ones for the seats aren't that big of a deal...

    new dyno number precision 7475 built motor and meth

    Nicely done. I'm interested in why the C16 number is lower than pump + meth, that seems whack.

    How's the fluid level?

    Wow, this carpet is a lot tougher to replace than I anticipated. It's kind of like trying to pin a dozen eight year old children to the ground at the same time. While covered in crude oil. On the way down an Olympic ski jump. Anyway, it still looks a lot better, even though I'm only just...

    Meaty tires picture thread

    About those Star Specs... I'm about to toss the ones I had on the front of my car. (Actually, I'll put 'em up on Craigslist, I expect, see if I can get *something* back for them.) They don't stick very well with the Supra. I've talked to plenty of guys in the Miata group that sing their...

    You can swap out the entire thing, sure, but then your odometer is out.

    Meaty tires picture thread

    No rolled fenders there, that car has a stock body. Definitely had some negative camber, as shown by tire wear - no way to pull it out, either, as this setup came so damn close to the body on the outside that I was constantly amazed it didn't rub. On compression, there wasn't enough room to...

    Carpet going in tomorrow, I hope. New black carpet, yum!

    Meaty tires picture thread

    17x9 Racing Hart Rev wheels, damn if I recall what the offset is. Maybe I can find the sticker... Tires are 275 width, 40 height. Fronts are 17x8, with a 245 45 tire. Edit: Offset is a +35 on the rear.

    linux thread???

    I've never had to use wine yet... everything I want already has a Linux equivalent, and it's usually better than the windows program.

    Anthracite mk3?!

    Any color that a car came from the factory dressed in. So for instance, if you want this color, you can just tell the paint guy what year, make, and model the paint was on, he'll look it up in a big book, and the book tells him how much and what colors to mix to make that exact shade. However...
