Hi all, I have two instances so far while working on MKIII Supras that I found somthing weried, the first was a 14mm SnapOn wrench stuck between the starter and the bell housing on a 7M-GE in a junkyard, no picks of that one. After the wrench on the starter, I figured ehh, once in a...

Hi all, I just got word that the 75/80 Dragway in Monrovia, is due for re-opening April 9th, its been closed since 2005, in the pics it looks run down, but I think they are cleaning it up. Its a 1/8th mile track, I'm not a big fan of the 1/8th mile but its still a fun time. I hope to be there...

Hi all, here is my scenario, I have a 7M-GE I plan to turbocharge and I'm wondering about the pistons. I do not have any intentions on turning up the boost on this engine past stock psi, I know saying that is much easier than actually not doing it :naughty:, I really don't like going wildly...

Hi all, I plan to drill and tap a hole in the NA block for a turbo oil drain, in the stock drain location is there anything on the other side that I have to worry about when drilling this hole? Also, is there anything I should be changing like oil dip stick? I don't have the engine on the...

Hi all, my 7M-GE sounds like it spun a bearing today, it has had a knock for around 25,000 miles:aigo:, hehehe. I was on the way home and the car lost some power, so I down shifted and knock knock knock knock... dam... :3d_frown:. I made it to a family members house, and so it sits until I can...

Hi all, I thought I might as well start a little thread for my forever ongoing project. The name "The Hated Eighty Six" comes from no love from other people for my 86, of coarse people say, "nice car" but what there really saying is, I don't want to make you feel bad about your car. Many...

Hi all, I just picked up a LSD for my car and upon cleaning the diff cover I wiped the ink on the LSD Oil Only sticker off. I went to the dealership and they didn't have a listing for it, the guy there said to try to find out what company produced the diffs and see if I could get a sticker from...

Hi all, my car has a issue with the right side parking brake assembly, I was driving this morning and stopped by a local auto parts store to pick up some oil, I go to leave and it feels like the car is real hesitant. I make a left turn and then a clunking sound starts emanating from the rear...

Hi all, my car has that occasional problem of the clicking starter solenoid and no crank of the engine, and I have a story to tell, and a couple of questions at the end of it all, hehehe. It has just been a inconvenience that would be solved by coming back 15-20mins later, until today. I was...

Hi all, I was wondering if doing some porting and polishing before the ACIS valve will have any ill effects on it? I'm thinking it it couldn't hurt to have a smoother flow, but I'm not completely sure. Thanks.

Hi all, while putting my cam pulleys back on I followed the TSRM and set my torque wrench to 36ftlbs of torque. I started wrenching and it never gave in, since I had never used this wrench before I didn't know what 36ftlbs felt like, and the bolt on the intake cam snapped off. The torque...

Hi all, today I stopped by my fathers house this morning, I started to back down to the garage and my car started to spew white smoke and it was idling badly. I jumped out and checked the exhaust and popped the hood. The engine was rocking as if a miss was occurring, from the water inhibiting...

Hi all, my pressure line on my car just blew a second hole, this time its spewing fluid onto the exhaust manifold. I plan to order the stainless steel braided line from driftmotion.com, My question is how much of a pita is it to change the pressure line? Also, besides the installation and...

Hi all, I have a strange issue, I just recently replaced my wiper combo switch and found why cruise control wasn't working, when I removed the face the horn was hooked up correctly, but the plug leading from the cruise buttons was stuffed into the rear of the face. I noticed there was no spot...

Hi all, occasionally my car has a noticeable ticking/knocking sound at idol after the car has warmed up. I originally thought it to be the AC compressor or the PWR steering pump. I removed the AC comp belt and found the bearing was bad in it so it was making a sound but the ticking/knocking...

Hi all, on occasion my car either hesitates to start or does'nt start at all. The previous owner said it did this to him, and he found what it was so he kept a bunch of ECU Mains' in the car. The issue is i've gone thru all 7 of them, but sometimes I can use the "blown" Mains and the car...
