    For those using ebay manifold....

    I don't have a pic yet, but I did something similar to the adapter. I used three 3/8" T4 flanges, and slid then forward and twisted them out sort of like you would a deck of cards to move the turbo where I wanted. Had to port the crap out of the "adapter" to get it smooth, but I like the way...

    Money, the root of all?

    I would anticipate losing the core liberal vote for sure. (They are mostly not land owners, and either got rich by accident, or inherited the money, or are actors.) It's the moderate liberals that might vote against my ideas, but they would be so far outnumbered on the basics that it would not...

    Money, the root of all?

    Go back into more history? What to when the King of England was taxing the new world? Dude, this is America now, and we pay more in taxes now than our ancestors did back then! It sucks, and it's socialism at work, plain and simple. What I was saying is that your idea of only 1% of the...

    Some lame person at work

    Same basic engine in the TT is rated at 225hp. So it's not that hard to turn up the power with basic mods. What kind of car is it? If your racing some dude in a GTI with the 1.8T, it's basicly the TT motor right? Your going to get smoked unless you have some mods to your Supra. Ask him to...

    Proof of concept (electric drag cars)

    Heck, if I was in power, we would have all the hydro power we could build, and Nuke power where that was not enough. Gas would be less expensive, and there would be no scare tactics being thrown around to drive up the price by creating panic where none is needed. Welfare would end with...

    married with children family pics

    Got 3 girls in my life, my wife and two daughters, and they are awesome! I used to wash my car about every week, and wax it every month... Then I got married, had my first daughter and it dropped to washing the car every month, and waxing it about 2x per year... Then... It's wash the car...

    Money, the root of all?

    Oops! SO much for the idea that the poor don't own homes. (And are not fed well.) So, taking in that the middle class generally owns homes, and we have about 50% of the poor owning homes, are you so fast to say that only 1% of the population would be able to vote there Joel?

    Money, the root of all?

    Over 200 years of US history proves you wrong Joel. Minority rules is a liberal scare word, and it was less of a problem when the country was first organized, and only landowners could vote... ! (IIRC, it was property owners, but you get the point.) Are your parents in the 1% Joel? Mine...

    Proof of concept (electric drag cars)

    I have an idea. Let's pass laws that are totally green. If you choose to use an electric car, or hybrid car that you charge up off the power grid at night, you have to spend money to install wind or solar power generation to charge your car so you don't create more pollution and power...

    Proof of concept (electric drag cars)

    Yep, IJ is right on this one, and I'm interested to see how your friends in the liberal elite media will treat the electric cars when a few people have acid burns, and other toxic damage from the batteries? (So far, they have been very lucky in my opinion that one of the poster children like the...

    Front bumper / lip

    Arrgh! It's only for the 89 or newer front right? I have an 88. What is FRP? A type of urethane, or some kind of fiberglass? It appears to be nice and flexable in any case. The vents are nice but do you have it with no vents for the 88 and older covers? (hint hint?)

    custom oil pan

    If my pan is ever off again, and I'm going to rebuild a 7M again, I'll do this mod in a heart beat. I would think you need to add at least 4 "U" shaped holes to your round baffle. Or you could make them simply by cutting a "V" into the pipe, so the wide end is down against the pan floor of...

    As requested, my Supra's photoshoot from 8/2/06

    I'm using your lightening shot as my background. :)

    can I put the filter directly on the block?

    Welded, clamped or pierced, heck even just left alone to their own vices, nipples are cool... :) But why the hell would anyone weld one to an engine block? Especially on this motor with the turbo? Buy a relocation kit, route your hoses so they don't rub on anything and be done with it...

    charcoal canister removal...

    Dude, the only pipe you need to deal with is plugging the one on the firewall. Either a hose, two clamps and a bolt, or buy a cap and clamp. Remove your entire can, lines and the vac lines too. (Leave the heat activated switch in the themostat housing, unless you want to remove it and try and...

    Have I found the ultimate DYI hardpipes?

    That is exhaust flexable pipe. I have some in 3" welded into my system, and it's pretty good at sealing up, but is NOT water or coolant tight. I would think it should be OK for IC pipe if your not running a AFM based system. The small amount of air you might leak would change your fuel trim...

    Stupid question....

    Depends on the performance. If the "new" supra we are hearing rumors about has a SC V8 and is making close to 400, or 450 hp, then the performance will be stellar by OEM standards for a Toyota, and I belive the demand for the older MK4 will decrease somewhat. If it's delivered with only...

    three wheeled car/bike hybrid

    It's Dutch IIRC. Very fun to drive since you lean over like a motorcycle, but it has 3 wheels, so it's more stable, especially in wet weather v/s a bike. Also due to the canopy and shell, you stay dry in bad weaher v/s a bike where your either wearing rain gear, or your soaked. (Or both in...

    Money, the root of all?

    Joel, I can understand the fear of losing land due to rising taxes. Your parents are being taxed to pay for the ideas and goals of those who don't always have their best intrests at heart. And so is everyone else in this country. I really feel for places where the liberal elite media, and...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Actually, the only thing the liberal elite environmentalists here managed to prove is they know they are wrong, but are clinging to any hope they might be right. (Better safe than sorry attitude... in extremis.) They seem to feel it's better to do something about their guilt of so much excess...
