    Low Oil Pressure

    It is the engine builders fault like lagged said, same thing happened to me. But in my case the builder stepped up and redid the build at no cost to me.

    Use propane instead of C02? Just a thought...

    Oh, I see, I've seen people at the track do this with Co2 and nitrous tanks. I still wouldn't do it with propane. And I didn't know propane was cold. But I wouldn't want it around my engine;)

    I'm sure you could save some money and fab it yourself, just use the right type of gas;)

    Use propane instead of C02? Just a thought...

    Plan on around $400-500 for a full kit.

    Use propane instead of C02? Just a thought...

    Co2 and N2o are "cold" gases, I don't think propane is so I don't think you would get much of a cooling effect. And it would just be a matter of time before you blew yourself up :biglaugh: They sell Co2 and N2o sprayer kits, why not just buy one of them?

    Milo's Booster Seat...

    Yes, if you do not damage the flexible circuit board, the rest your stock gauges will work fine. I had to cut out large holes in the back of my cluster behind my gauges, and had to tape the flexible circuit board out of the way and my gauges still work.

    strut bar...

    Seems the placebo effect is rampant in the automotive community, not just supra owners. But I will not bust on anyone for running one, even if it is just for looks and/or placebo, it's their car and their money. But if someone doesn't agree, just go pull a wheel off, compress the spring and undo...

    strut bar...

    Well strut bars and supras = zero effect for the same reason caster-camber upper mounting plates have zero effect. Strut bars were developed to over come some of the weak points of a McPherson strut set up (the supra has a double A arm set up) With McPherson struts, the suspension geometry is...

    part # for this hose

    It was a while ago, but $15 seems to come to mind. That could have been for 2, so it maybe around $7 each.

    part # for this hose

    I had to go to toyota to get mine. You can just get a 90* bend from the auto parts store that will fit (behind the counter they have many different bent hoses and will surely have one that can be cut to fit). BUT I would not suggest this, as the quality of these hoses are sub-par, and are doomed...

    Tom: Thanks! Yes, I like the way it turned out, IMO it looks better than the Celica center ;). The emblem was one I had lying around from one of my trips to the junk yard a few years back, I think it was off a mr2 or a supra nose, it was so long ago I don't remember. Ben: Thanks dude!, Yeah...

    Now you need to use a de-waxer on the piece or what ever finish you apply to the piece will not bond. In this case, I finished it buy covering in a vinyl to match the wheel. I also added the mounting tabs and what not to secure it and to utilize the horn contacts. So hopefully...

    Ok I wanted to get a little more in-depth on what I do when fabricating. I wish I would have done this with all my other mods, but oh well ;) Here is a little fiberglassing 101 for you guys and gals that don't know how to use the stuff. First of all I wanted a new steering wheel and could...
