LOL @ IJ, "storm in a D cup.." That's funny man. (I think just the two of us got it, but were older and wiser.)

Meggs, and any other "you don't spend enough time with me" ladies. I just went through this myself actually. Like I said, I've been married for 13 years, and known my wife for about 14 and change. The reality is I'm car crazy, and she deals with it. (Usually.) This past two years has been...

Insulation is cheaper, and very effective at heat control. (If your worried about the pipe running near the turbo/exhaust manifold.) The reality is the enginebay is hot, and everything in there is hot. True that the exhaust manifold and exuducer side of the turbo is pretty dang hot, but...

2500 spent right, and with you doing much of the work, could get you forged pistons, and a rebuild using stock rods with ARP hardware. Would be a good base for power. (But your barely going to get there for 2500.00, and your not going to have any mods other than a MHG, Forged pistons, ARP...

Used to have some parking ones with really nasty adheasive, and they were segmented, so you could not cleanly remove them. (Like a security tag.) They were also multi layered, so the top would peel off in segments, and the backing and adheasive would stay put. IIRC, was worded something like...

Well, even 315's can be spun with enough power. Nice to see you got the "Mystery Turbo" spooling up right, and that it's making power like you wanted. The right WG makes all the difference I've found out. (Most of the internal ones I've dealt with can be pretty tempermental, but any of...

Just one word. BARF!!!

Yikes that's expensive, but it does do alot of things for sure. Since I'm already down the Greddy road, the new "ultimate" that can allow me to run speed density too sounds like a good idea. (But yours is a better deal money wise, and support wise too.) I'm waiting to see the dyno results...

Nice, but you need some pics of her washing your car man :) Very nice indeed. (I'm hiding the remote from my wife tonight for sure.)

Those have been floating around at work for a few weeks too. Dang storms sure caused tons of grief for being so amazing looking. I've done my 2 weeks of CAT duty this year, and they are asking for us to go back for a 3 week stint. I'm going to pass I think. Just a interesting note...

From what I've researched, there has been a change in the "E-Bay" manifolds over time. The first ones were thinner tube, and it was not 321ss, but 340. First ones had issues with hitting the oil filter/cooler bypass mount. (I'm not running that, so It's a moot point on my motor, but they...

I don't know, and I'm not going to pretend to understand your personal feelings about his car v/s your time. That being said, you sound like someone who's wanting more of his time than he's willing to give you. There can be a few reasons for this, but I think these are possibly some of them...

Same with HPF and many of the others that sell a version of this same 321 ss manifold. They are way overpriced when you look at what you can get on Ebay, but then again, some of the companies are selling a complete kit, with fabricated DP, WG pipes, and all the stuff you need to pretty much...

I'm glad I did mine. They were Ebay stainless ones from Enginebuilder, are 1mm OS. If I was going to do it all over again, I'd get a set of used stock 2JZGTE valves, clean them up, coat them, and have the seats cut for those. It would require having your cams re-ground however. But at...

You going to Vegas this Year? I'll be there, and they have some great restaurants.... LOL. Seriously happy to see your engine is coming together well. Hope that the assembly and minor mods you've done add up to a very nice reliable motor that will handle the 20psi + that your shooting for.

Updates? What are they? LOL tell us, or we revolt! LOL

On the cornering lamp idea, I've been looking at some very small HID driving lamps. If I mounted them in the existing fog lamp locations, it would leave room for a set of regular halogen projector fog lamps to nestle in at an angle so they would shine off to the sides. It would be easy to wire...

Well, for almost 800.00 your getting the best rear suspension parts I've seen yet for the Supra. (Ok, so the LIPP traction bars are nice, and Duane's bars which were first on the scene are great too, but for the money, and to get the lightest possible setup, and one that should never corrode...

This is the site your looking for. HPF just sources them from A-1. The whole setup, two lower control arms, trailing arm, sway bar links and everything will run you about 780.00 IIRC. (Shipped.) http://www.a1racing.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=35

I've had them on various cars and oil plugs of other vehicles. Right now, I'm using 4 rare earth magnets stuck to the bottem of the oil pan. When I drain the oil, I remove the magnets just before I pull the plug. I'm hoping that as the oil is drained out, any metal shavings come out with the...
