    Mechanical Fan on 2jz swapped MKIII

    Ah, that would probably explain it. Mine was normal driving, and as I'm officially a dirty old man, that means I rarely push the engine over 2500rpm. I pulled the shroud off and drove it home, then modded the shroud and put it back on with the same fan. The back of the PWR was a little bent...

    honeydew...not new, but never introduced myself.

    Hmm... and here I was thinking it meant you had a particularly large "Honey Do" list tacked up on the 'fridge. Welcome, hope you like it here! PS: Don't try to beat DT off with a stick. If you want her to go away, be nice to her. :D

    Mechanical Fan on 2jz swapped MKIII

    Ouch... I had the stock 7M 10 blade fan do that to my PWR, but the clutch just slipped instead of tearing everything up that badly. Looks like there's still a clutch on that setup - does it lock up really hard? Wonder if there is some way to reduce the lock to something that will give instead...

    Headlight Lens Repair Question

    Yes, they work great, I've done quite a few. The thing that most kits neglect to mention is that the OEM plastic bits are usually sprayed with a clear coat to slow down sun damage - these kits will peel that off, and it will look great for a month or two, then it will cloud *fast*. So ideally...

    Anyone Painted the Plastic Trim in their cars interior?

    I was concerned with the durability as well, so I didn't paint anything that would be subject to wear. I'd probably try it though, now that I've used it - the paint is kind of rubbery after it dries - flexible, so it's quite durable.

    Anyone Painted the Plastic Trim in their cars interior?

    I've used the SEM stuff as well, and it works great. As I recall, Brad / Tekdeus used it on a significant portion of his interior as well. I didn't prime mine, just used their cleaner, then sprayed the paint right on top.

    What thickness MHG should I get?

    How thick of a gasket is a simple calculation. You need to know how much has been shaved off the head and the block, add that to the stock gasket thickness, and pick the closest MHG thickness you can get from there. If you don't know how much has been shaved off the head or block, any machine...

    need update fastest 5spd 7m mkiii

    Well, 10 has been done. Going faster than that is going to be quite the challenge - both power and driving ability are going to be large requirements. Not to mention the safety equipment...

    Used Cooking Oil & BIODIESEL B100 EN14214 F/S

    Ya, I edited his email addy when I banned the account. I didn't want the dirty spammer to get any free advertising even by accident.

    obx lsd ??????

    Why not just buy one of the units already available that's proven to work? Kaaz and Cusco both make one and have proven results. Hell, TRD still has theirs available last I checked, for that matter.

    Loosing clutch fluid

    Good call on replacing them both. Usually they are both in pretty bad shape, but only one will actually pop. Of course, a couple weeks after you replace that one, the other one goes, and you have to go through the whole bleeding procedure again.

    What's the dumbest idea you've ever heard?

    I don't have any daughters - well, not that I know about, anyway. 2 sons, though... at least that means I only have to worry about 2 dicks instead of thousands.

    Aloha mk3

    Wow... there's some LARGE amount of $$$ into that car. I don't personally like some of it - the neon underglow grates on my nerves, for instance - but if someone was building a demo vehicle to showcase everything their shop was capable of, you'd be hard pressed to find a better example than this.

    What's the dumbest idea you've ever heard?

    A recent conversation, that shall remain anonymous, spawned this idea... post the dumbest - or several dumbest, if you've got 'em. I'll start: - Buying a web cam for your 12yo daughter - Buying a sports car for your 15yo son - Putting off the 'birds and the bees' conversation with your kids...

    Vacuum port by fuel pressure VSV

    Goes up from there, between the intake runners, connects to a hardline next to the 3000 pipe, and ends up at your bypass valve that connects the intake to the 3000 pipe.
