Just curious what PSI that stock CT26 died at? Or is it from coked bearings, and then the exducer side sheared off? Does not appear it was spooled up to max when it failed, so I'm going with the coked bearings theory. (What does the oil drain side look like? I bet it's caked with coked/baked...

Looks nice, but mine would need many mods, and I really should just build one myself. Good looking product however.

I'm not sure even 15 quarts of oil would cause that level of damage. (The blown HG?) Sure there is going to be some serious crank case pressure at times, but it would vent up out the cam covers, and into the intake. (Any signs of serious oil deposits in the intake? I can see quite a bit in...

Ok, let me clarify. If they pull this car over for speeding, or something else, and run the plate, they will do something. (Of course they are not going to run the plates on every white MK3 just because yours is stolen. Again, there is NO profit for them to do that.) If the PD was paid on...

Two sets of 4" componet speakers with tweeters mounted on the door panel, and rear speaker housings. (Crossovers under the seats, and rear cargo panel.) Use one 5 channel MTX amp. (With a seperate remote control dial for the Sub.) One 10 Diamond Mag Alloy sub in a custom box built to allow...

I've used the Axxis metal masters, and did not really like them for hard use. (Ok around town, faded when pushed to the limits easy.) Have switched over to a full Wilwood setup, so far, no fade, no noise, but they are no longer stock in any respect anymore. IIRC, the Wilwood pads are made...

You guys want some tips on how to avoid theft? 1) Do not play loud music with massive bass wherever you go. (Attracts them like bugs to a porch light.) 2) Loud exhasts with huge can's are like loud bass. 3) Loud BOV's. (See above.) 4) Flashy wheels/tires/brakes etc. Not sure why...

Dang, just get a stock part from the salvage yard, keep your cruise control and all the right linkage for the Auto guys. (This thread is not only disturbing, but what a way to screw up your car. Cobble up some mismatched parts for the throttle cable, why not just go the whole way, and fit some...

This was discussed to death before. Shawn (dude) took many measurements, and found there was little to be gained by tying the front strut towers together across the engine, but much to be gained by cross bracing the front strut towers to the cowl area. (He agreed the cowl was not very strong...

Keith, I forgot to pay you while I was in Portland for the PACNW SN. I'm going to be back in town for the Chief training, and need to get your phone # so I can get in touch with you guys at that time. I can mail you a check for the Road Course fee. It sure would be nice to see another 60 or so...

Just looked up where Kelowna is, and if I can spare the time, I might come up for the meet. When in August was it again? (Dates exactly, and what are the plans?) Someone was saying you need a passport to travel now? If that's the case, I don't think I'm going to make it. I used to live...

I don't understand? Set it to 2.5v at idle, and like Ron Popeil advises... "Set it, and forget it...." Why monitor it? (Only works in closed loop right? And the TCCS makes all the calls pretty much, so you can't tune around it anyway.) WOT is the only time you can make changes that mean...

Yep those are leaks alright. But I'm not sure what the oil leaks on around the power steering rack, and oil filter location have anything to do with your speedo cable. (That's the "line" in your photos.) Pressure wash the underside, then drive around for awhile and check to see where the...

Here is what I did with mine. Old system uses just a bypass for the cooler. This one bypasses the entire spin on filter location, exits the block at the NA block off plate location, goes to a Canton full flow filter, RX7 oil cooler, and then back into the engine via the BSP 20/AN10 fitting in...

If you used the "gasket" that came in your gasket kit, the source of your leaking oil pan has been found. Toyota never, ever used a gasket on the pan for the 7MGTE that I know of. FIPG, or sealer is all they used. Some bright soul decided to include a pan gasket in the vast majority of...

Nice to see this thread back on the SM. Hope to see your 101mm stroker running soon Alan. My 97mm one has survived a trip to Portland from Boise, and some 1000 miles now of running around pretty much untuned. (On good gas.) Sounds like nothing else out there. (Very much a diesel truck...

Joe, almost forgot, but still will get you that chair :) Grim, I think I met you. (You had your wife with you right?) It's you if your the guy living in the very expensive house... LOL I'm going to be back in Portland in a few weeks for some classes, and I totally forgot to pay Keith for...

Great thing about bench racing is we can all sit here and say we know how to make this work for less, or that it's a reasonable price... I just got done with my custom head work, and can't really prove any power gains yet. (Yet is the key word.) Tourqe was great, so I know I did not screw...

I just wanted to post I had a great time, missed the final show (I'm under the weather, and had to drive back here to Boise, then fly out to Denver for the week. so I'm sorry I missed it.) Everything was a blast. Dyno Drive Drags The Karts and searching out the food.... (Subway and the...

I have HID's from the factory on my A8. And the Silverstars in the Supra and my Q45. At night, on an empty road. the Q45 has the best headlights, followed by the Supra sealed beams, and then the HID lamps on the Audi. (So much for HID kicking ass....) I will say the Audi lamps are very...
