    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    There are at least two companies that make those that I know of. Safety Harbor Firearms makes an upper (18"-30") called the SHtF 50 (Shit Hits the Fan sounds like a reasonable explanation for the acronym :-p) and a company called Spider Firearms makes a conversion kit called the Ferret .50 in a...

    Nah, Rock Island is essentially a renamed 1911 from the Philippines. They're cheap, and they shoot. I have heard about some reliability issues though and some difficulty getting spare parts.

    Well, I finally did it

    Update: As of 8PM last night I'm back in the game. Spent Sunday putting new shocks in waiting for the replacement hoses to get here. They arrived yesterday, put them in, and it's running beautifully now, better than before it broke. Thanks for the help. It did end up being the...

    Well, I finally did it

    Car is not hard to start, provided the battery has a charge. Once i put it back together, I'll clear the codes and check them again. I'm not so sure the previous owner would have thought to clear them.

    Well, I finally did it

    Ok. In any case, however, since everything mostly pointed to boost leak (it runs fine until the boost gauge shows 0 psi) and a boost leak was found, I'm going to assume occam's razor is still valid for Supras. But, good to know about the afm anyway.

    Well, I finally did it

    No, have to wait for the hoses to come in first. However, I did check the AFM (resistance test per the TSRM) and the coolant temp sensor, both were in spec. I should have the stuff by Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see then.

    Well, I finally did it

    Made up the boost leak tester, boost leak tested, and found boost leak :) Popped a big old hole in the turbo-intercooler hose. At least it wasn't anything too crazy. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

    Documenting my stupidity.

    I leave pizza out all night all the time. It's fine. especially cold. Microwaved pizza sucks hard. the cheese stops tasting like cheese and more like gooey punishment. I'm of the opinion that there is no way to re-heat a pizza well. it is never as good.

    Boost! but no Boost!!!

    Haha. Check 'em all, it never hurts. Mine was split between the 3000 pipe and the intake manifold, somewhere in that area.

    Boost! but no Boost!!!

    Sounds like the boost leak I had a while back. Check all your hoses for cracks before you blame the turbo- one of my hoses split where I couldn't see it.

    TRD Shift knobs

    Shipping's about $10.50, at least to me, so about $50. All of the other places I've seen them were going for at least $80.

    Wow. It seems like NY is pretty forgiving of speeding, compared to all of these other stories...

    Got my first ticket today!

    I think you meant stop speeding and getting caught... :sarcasm: I'm not sure how it works in TN, but here in NY (or at least whenever I've had to go- once for 15 over, once for 20 over), you show up to court, occasionally enter a not guilty plea with someone official, wait around for the...
