    4pot Caliper Question

    Feel? They feel to me slightly less responsive than stock for the travel, but you can modulate what they are doing better than stock by a large margin. (You do have to push the pedal down further, but it never bottems out that I've noticed. It also stops the car on a dime, every time with no...

    Anyone sell big fuel rails?

    Ok, fuel rail from the backside of the motor. Sorry you can't see the cold start injector fitting, but mine is stock since I'm using the stock cold start injector. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Adjuster/7MGTE/PICT0092.jpg here is the fitting on the front. this one was from JBL with...

    GB feeler -- 7M Cams (new not regrinds)!

    Not to go OT, but the Comp Cams springs work great. (I have them in my engine now.) To adjust the valves, here is what the shop I used does. (They do this on all the head/valve jobs they do, and they do many heads a week.) They have a grinder that removes very small amounts of material...

    4pot Caliper Question

    I have one of the first full 14" rotor PB setups for the MK3. Uses custom Wilwood rotors, further drilled out between the hats and the swept area, slotted and using 6 piston GNIII front calipers, and 4 piston Forged Billet dynalites in the back. Rotors are 14x1.38 front, and 14x1.25 rear...

    IMPORTANT: The future of SM - adding infrastucture.

    Nice write up. Never realized how much work really goes into this board untill now, but it makes sense with all the people and various opinions, and knowlege coming and going all the time. I don't really have an opinion of the "trader ratings, or rep points" deal. I can see why it might be...

    Anyone sell big fuel rails?

    I was drooling over the LIPP one at SILV this year, and it should be good to any power level the crank will hold up to. Very nice unit, and they are making some slight changes to the mold to make it fit even better. The fit is tight between the alternator and the rail. Also most people who...

    rebuilding W58 transmission

    The W58 shifts much smoother than the R154, but will not hold up to abuse as well from what I've seen. (or hold up to excessive power, say over 400rwhp for extended periods of time if your speed shifting and being hard on the transmission at those power levels.) I just rebuilt my R154, and it...

    so I was walking out to my car...

    Pan handling is a crime. It's also annoying. It's been going on as long as people have been on the planet however. (Beggars and theives, or whores and the world's "oldest" profession did not just start yesterday.) At least the whores are intertaining. (Yikes, flame on!) A few years ago...

    GB feeler -- 7M Cams (new not regrinds)!

    I'm interested, but I belive you should also have HPF setup a shimless bucket option for the cams with more than 9mm of lift. (I belive that up to that point, and possibly 9.5mm it will not spit the shims, but over that amount, your running the risk of causing other damage to the head or entire...

    stock afm mod?

    Keep the grid/honey comb. It's there, and you need it there for the AFM to work right. (I'd even keep the screen that protects it too since there is no loss in flow with it there.) I agree that my fuel system was old. It was stock, and I did this about 4 years ago. Only ran it that way for...

    oil issues help needed.

    I would only do the engine if it's knocking. And I'd only do the MHG if your planning on running more than 20 psi of boost pressure. Re-tourqe the stock head gasket and bolts to 72lbs and they are fine under this pressure in my experiance. Of course, one detonation event might blow your...

    Charcoal Supra with 5 spoke rims?

    One of my first cars was a brown metallic 73 Camaro Type LT. I bought it with 14" fan spoke wheels, with maybe 80 or 100 thin spokes per wheel. They were cast, ugly and actually hit my brake calipers if I tried to rotate the tires front to rear.) Bought a set of 85 Z28 rims of a wrecked one...

    oil issues help needed.

    The ticking went away when you added oil? It was the low oil then. Added 4 quarts.... Dang man, the engine only holds 5 something, and really should be run at 6 quarts at all times. (I run 10 in my 7MGTE, but mine's not stock anymore.) When it was stock, I ran a minimum of 6 quarts of...

    stock afm mod?

    All BS aside, did this for awhile, and had no problems, 440's, stock fuel pump and running 12 to 15psi. No FC. Stock CT with fabricated 3" elbow/DP and 75mm HKS Cat Back setup. (Basicly 3" out.) Did not get 15 psi till I added the boost controller. Also ran with a metal conduit hard pipe...

    What new car would you buy?

    I remember your criteria. Us market car right? (The GTO is made in Aussy land, but since it's a "Pontiac" we will ignore it's Holden roots.) They are WAY overpriced, but an excellent car with in a body that does not do anything for me. (And the rest of the US market from what I can see.) If...

    I can get Arm Rest Refinished to look like Toyotas.

    I don't have a photo of it, but I covered mine with the leather from a office chair I was replacing. (Used the seat cushion panel, with some trimming, it fits pretty well, and had a foam backing attached to the leather.) The panel has an interesting tuck and roll diamond pattern, and that...

    New Radiators?? opinions wanted

    I have the Fluidyne, and agree the PWR is awesome looking and has tons of capacity. There is one other choice, I think it's called CSF radiators, has a dual tube core, and one piece end tanks made of stamped aluminum welded to the core v/s the fabricated C' channel of the Fluidyne, Koyo and PWR...
