    My feature on Fatlace

    Excellent job - definitely a one of a kind you've put together there.

    I hate August

    Personally, I LIKE summer. The ladies wear less clothing. I spend a lot more time just sitting around, smiling, and watching. Some grumbly wench asked me what I was looking at last week, I said, "I thought that was obvious." :D

    It cost $15k, and came with a car attached to it. :D

    power steering not working when idling

    You are using ATF instead of power steering fluid, right?

    standalone or piggy back

    I've got the innovate LC1 on my 7M car - good unit, lasted longer than my Zeitronix did, and it's still working fine. Got an AEM on the 2J car, it works great too.

    Vacuum diagram questions. A mystery connector dangling.

    #1 - that is supposed to be connected to a simple filter that just slides on the nipple. #2 - that goes up through the intake manifold runners and connects to the hardline used as a vacuum source for your bypass valve. #3 - This is the only one I'm kinda fuzzy about... as I recall, it was...

    Well, some asshole put me out of the Supra game....

    Dude... you dodged a bullet there. If you had started across the intersection a SECOND sooner, you would be in the hospital at best, with a decent chance of being worm food. Time to pick up a lottery ticket! :D

    Finally shipped

    If he gets the same deal that we do... service personnel get free shipping for their vehicle. :) Within limits, of course - a tour here is usually 4 years, and you get your car shipped there and back at no charge.

    FYI, that's not an R154.

    standalone or piggy back

    I've run both the Maft Pro and a Vipec V88 standalone. The Maft unit is nice. Easy installation, tunable in the car without a laptop, decent control of more options than your average piggyback. The Vipec, on the other hand, is fantastic. It's so good that it will make an average man into a...

    Alternator upgrade for high power stereo...

    I visited a shop that specializes in starters and alternators, told them what I wanted, and they put it together for me on the spot. The thing is so far above what you can usually buy it's almost funny looking at the other upgrades - I don't recall the specific, but it's well in excess of 200a...

    A holes on here

    Two things come to mind. First, there's a significant trend towards the 'entitlement attitude' among folks online. These are the people who think the internet in general owes them something. They ask questions without even a token search to see if it's already been covered. They are...

    MKIII towing

    As long as your trailer has it's own brakes, you should be fine. Take it easy accelerating is all.

    Higher amp alternators

    The shop that built it for me tells me the stator needs to spin a little faster than it does at idle. I don't drive it in traffic, so it's not an issue. Hell, I VERY rarely turn up the stereo, either, which is the reason for the killer alternator. It's really just leftover from my foolish...

    Higher amp alternators

    200 isn't too much - I'm running much larger than that in my 7M car. Only downside is that it doesn't charge at idle.
