guess we better not break em then!

hey guys, long time no holler at! too busy trying to get my life out of the toilet. anyway, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the promised land. my passenger side door linkage jammed, and the door is locked shut, and is unopenable. does anyone know how i can get the door open to fix...

How about a sticking waste gate. Could do that if it intermittently stuck open. Just a what if, not based on it happening to me or anyone I know, but just throwing it out there.

By the way, anybody know where I can get a good used flux capacitor for cheap? I need to replace mine.

A little more detail would be helpful here. Are you replacing a turbo, or upgrading a non turbo engine? The instructions would be quite different for the 2 scenarios.

Are you absolutely sure about the linkage? My stepson's GE, had a high idle, and it finally turned out to be the adjustable rod in the linkage. The locknut was stripped, and vibration caused it to rotate, changing the length of the rod, and forcing the throttle plate open. Drove me crazy trying...

Will you just run the engine, and shift through the gears for cryin out loud. It takes time for the fluid to get where it's going, and if you let it happen, it will happen. BTW put your foot on the brake while you're doing this, or the car WILL move when the torque converter fills.

After ten years as a auto mechanic, I have seen, and verified many warped brake rotors. A run out gauge tells the tale. It also can be seen in the machining process, as it makes an uneven first cut when severe. It seems to me, that to base this article on racing use, overlooks the myriad ways...

I got a CX racing IC kit off ebay, and I'm extremely happy with it. It was a universal kit, with enough piping for the supra, and it went in without a lot of trouble, and works fine.

Just because you changed the main seal, doesn't mean it's fixed. The timing pulley could be worn where the seal seats, and it will still leak there. Did you carefully check the timing pulley? They make sleeves for that reason.

A BIG + 1 to reading the Motor Oil 101, it should be required reading before anyone is allowed to join the site. With a test for verification.

If it's in fact related to a loose belt, you may want to check out my adjuster solution, here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?95407-Power-Steering-pump-adjustment-solution it worked out great, and was relatively easy to do.

If you do the fuel mods correctly, you do not need, nor should you even want to use a FCD. Fuel cut is there to save your engine, WHY would you disable it? A FCD should have it's name changed to REG. That stands for Randomly Exploding Grenade, which is what a FCD will turn your engine into.

Yes, it's dependent on many factors. In my case, I was running 8 psi with no problems, until I installed a three inch downpipe. Then I started hitting fuel cut.

If you don't play em anymore, give them to me, I'll take care of them.:naughty:

Well, if I can get some time, I'll bring it to them, and see what they can do. Thanks.

Here's a pic of my amp rack.

It's a fact! A Supra is in your future. Once you've been exposed to the mania, it's almost impossible to resist. Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so here's mine. No Les Paul's anymore, but a good group nonetheless. The plain red one I built myself, from parts. Sorry it took so long.

Cool. Didn't know anyone was in Gardner. lol. Can Fleetpride handle a small one though? They normally just work on truck stuff, don't they?
