I would like to get the input of you guys. I plan to do some minor tracking of the car next summer and I wonder how well the car will behave. Keeping in mind that I drive it on the street 90% of the time.
Currently I am running H&R springs and Tockico struts with stock sways. I will have...
I second the blue smoke from the turbo. Cryoslash knows why;).
Are you sure the white/grey smoke is not just normal condensation? It's getting alot colder now and all cars do this at this time of year.
You can view the Shine stuff on their Ebay store. I'm working on getting a 3-piece wing as well...it's just low on the list of priorities. I will also be swapping over to 89+ mirrors to complete the conversion.
here is a link to Shine's ebay store...
A front main seal is not a reason to do a full rebuild. It's a good reason to change all the front seals. lol
Do compression and leakdown tests and figure out where the motor is at. This will give you the best idea of what you should be doing.
The MBC is set for 10 lbs. This was done before the DDP was installed. Since the DDP was added it usually goes to about 12. However, it doesn't hold this to redline. I think this and the small hot side of the CT-26 contribute to the poor numbers over 4500 rpm. I really need an electronic...
I've read about the Megasquirt. My friend was interested in running it on his Mk2. I prefer the MAFT-Pro because there are many people running it so it makes it easier to get base settings and trouble shoot issues. I can't wait to get it so I can clean up the engine bay some more and make as...
I have some Probe pistons sitting on a shelf 3 feet from me...so you know where that's going. lol The motor is low compression (was low during the dyno I suspect) so I will be tackling the rebuild myself. I may be sourcing a spare motor to build so I have less down time. I already have the...
While working all summer doing landscaping (hard work = $$$$), I started to collect parts again.
After the tires were mounted.
And finally the car that makes all of this possible…the daily beater. My GTP.
While doing all this to the Mk3 I also picked up a Mk2 to play with. The body is shot but it runs well and the interior is mint. It’s a project for later when school is done and I have some time again.
At this point I had moved again. I was happy though as I now had a DD and the Supra...
Next was another round of performance mods. So I went to George at Raptor Racing and had a custom 3” cat back made. He also supplied my high flow cat and divorced downpipe. My car was used to prototype the Mk3 downpipe design for him using the front section of his Mk2 DDP.
With only...
I was now much happier that the car was down in the weeds. Next on the hit list was the aging interior. Some new leather pieces, steering wheel and floor mats can make a huge difference. I also added a 10” sub with my custom enclosure to clear the targa. Targa had to come first.
The car stayed like this for quite a while. I attended the local Toronto Supra meets with my friend Steve and basically enjoyed the car. Here is a pic of our cars.
When we graduated high school we had to have some fun. So…
I then started to think about more power from the car so I...
I had some money left over from selling the Civic so I quickly started on maintenance. The rust had to go so…..
^^^Damn I look young in that pic.
And then as you can see…I needed mouldings. I didn’t want to go with the steel ones since the rust and cost a fortune...
Ok, I guess it’s time to make one of these. I’m basically going to use this thread to show where I’ve come from and where I’m going.
I will start off with my first car. 1992 Civic…I know what you will all say but hey, I was 15. I bought the car with 100%...
Damn...one day I will make it to this meet. Texas would probably make more sense since it's alot closer but Vegas is the ultimate goal. Won't happen until school is done and I get some vacation time though.
I feel your pain...my car has been hit a few times as well. The first time my mom was late for work and wasn't looking as she backed out of our driveway. This resulted in the imprint of a 3" receive hitch square on my front bumper. On the drivers side just below the blinker. However, that...
