    LOL I'm sorry, that must be quite embarrassing. unless it really sounds like a supercharger then you could just lie about it.

    won't start.starters fine thoe

    check all fuses and fusible links. if the voltage drop thing doesn't work maybe just try another battery? or properly jump-start your car? then you will know if its your batt.

    Sounds supercharged!? Help!!!

    are you SURE it's the pump? a definitive check would be to remove the power steering pump drive belt and start the car. If you're sure the sound is coming from your pump then nevermind that...its just a possible idea.

    Perfect strech of road?

    I do travel scenic and off-freeway highway stretches. I dont like straight flat cruising as much as some good curvy stuff that makes you work harder. not like its hard but it's just...fun. going in a straight line is relaxing but also kinda boring, so I sometimes take the side roads home...

    Has anyone seen an mkIII in top gear (besides the intro?)

    I was watching an old top gear on youtube, and I noticed the intro more or less showcases an mkIII. There has been mention of this in this thread but just the intro. I was wondering if they ever had a full episode with part dedicated to our car? I figured there is a good chance that if they...

    Dead child gives four people cancer

    That's horrible.... If there were multiple organs available for me if i were in need, I'd sure as hell make sure they checked for stuff like that...but then again, if I was on my way to death otherwise I probably wouldn't question such a gift. still pretty depressing though :(

    Drift Truck???

    i think the engine in a snub-nose is down low and slightly behind the driver, so near the back of the cab. sadly sometimes the cab actually will slam forward, the truck won't tip but rather the cab comes unlatched (like it does for working on the engine). I had a relative killed that way I...

    Englishtown Supra Meet Pictures

    holy shit are you joking? but really what's all that piping and the aluminum tanks/boxes out back? is it streetable? (he kept the headlights and stuff, when a full-on dragster might not...had to ask) if you have any more info on it i'd love to read more about it.

    WOAH what is up with the red mkIV? is that some sort of super-cooler for the air? MAN.... and why bother leaving that passenger seat in? i'm so curious! and I bet that cockpit is INCREDIBLY LOUD.

    cam scaring??

    i'm curious why one couldn't hand polish the bearings, very carefully. Unless polishing them unevenly by doing this, even in the slightest could hinder oil distribution. the tolerances are pretty tight... I could see someone with some polishing compound and a drill with a polishing brush...

    cam scaring??

    70? yipes! ok i think i believe now. maybe... does the TSRM say much about tensioning? i dont remember a lot of warning in there, and just made sure i had proper slack in the belt between the timing gears.

    muffler bearing, look here!!

    I figured it was but...heh... no didn't read the description. I only saw everyone's posts about "ooooo" and "ahhh" and viewed the page. Then I was like...what the FUCK? :icon_mad: man... :cry: I'm going to go edit something now. :biglaugh:

    I can't wait until "The Fast and the Furious - Pikes Peak" comes out and everybody who actually appreciates cars hates rally racing :biglaugh:

    Go Bird Dog

    yup, it would be good for deep snow and scaling stuff...so you're right. :) But wheels are much cheaper....most likely. :naughty: as for a wheeled vehicle jumping... a lexus could do that. I shit you not. view this from 1:40 on... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSi6J-QK1lw now...i admit...

    What the hell?? MUFFLER bearing? lol.....

    cam scaring??

    how could excessive timing belt pressure do THAT? Maybe the frontmost bearing but...to more behind it? i'd imagine you'd need a LOT of extra timing belt tension to even hurt one... but i dont know.... it just seems odd to me.
