    yeah i remember that episode. as a vette owner, i cant say i was happy lol. luckily i wasnt real fond of that year. it is true that not even the super secret enzyme cleaner they had (used for crime scene cleaning) was enough. but 2 rotting pigs completely sealed inside the car inside a...

    Supra Seats Suck

    i dunno, ive sat in a lot of supra seats and some just arent near as comfortable as others. i thought maybe it was due to age and the foam had just hardened or something. uncomfortable? nah, they were ok. just not as cushy as ones that are in good shape. im sure there are plenty of people...

    Snapped/ bent rods

    yeah thats true. i know the history of mine since it was a brand new short block from toyota in shrink wrap :) buying a supra these days i wouldnt even think of doing a high hp build without taking everything apart for inspection. unless i had another motor ready to go in its place.

    Snapped/ bent rods

    fyi- friend of mine works at a metal shop and tested some stock rods. they actually contain a small amount of titanium. they were better built than the aftermarket/performance v8 rods he tested. personally, i dont think rods are a weak point in our car. but given the abuse and lack of...

    gt70r? help

    see i dont think so. this turbo isnt anywhere near a 70mm. its a fairly small turbo from what i can see. i wouldnt expect much lag at all. what i would do is message the seller and see if you can get the compressor wheel inducer and exducer size. edit: this is an actual t70 70mm...

    fuel issues

    sounds like a boost leak to me. i thought the na/turbo pumps were different. either way, doesnt sound fuel pump related.

    gt70r? help

    edit: here is a pic for those who cannot see- judging by how much is machined out of the inlet, that does not look like a very big compressor wheel. they list it at 600hp max, but that doesnt mean much. looks to be maybe around a 57mm wheel. kinda hard to tell from the pics the...

    fuel issues

    Ran 8.11....

    provided you had a decent launch and run (no missed shifts, excessive wheelspin, etc) we usually use 1.53 * et = 1/4 in this case, should be ~12.4

    HOT IC pipes and Intake manni

    if you use the wrap, please use the black sealant. it provides some waterproofing, prevents fraying, and just looks a lot better imo. >

    How To: Install new carpet and rid the car of mice

    ive found to remove the sound dampen material dry ice works the best. can usually find at the bigger grocery stores. poodles- yep the enzyme stuff works the best. i like the odor gone that i listed because its non toxic and doesnt have a crazy smell to it.
