    Knocking noise investigation/engine rebuild

    awesome idea. yeah i've had some hell with my hood. actually more accurately the halogen lamp stand that broke as i picked it up to move it. i couldnt hold up the two halogen lamps on that pole where i was holding it and it tipped right into my hood, and knocked a chip in my paint. pissed me...

    junkyard engines/supras...stay away or see whats up?

    does anybody know a rough estimate for how much it would cost to walk away with the engine and r-154? i dont want to call unless i have a general idea of how this works... how would i take home the engine without also taking the chassis? do they give you what you need to brace the car and...

    junkyard engines/supras...stay away or see whats up?

    Has anyone on here had experiance with pulling an engine from a supra at a wrecking yard?? I just found a 1987 supra turbo at my local wrecking yard...and it has a pretty decent looking GTE under the hood WITH the turbo still there...looks complete. also has tems in the rear, not sure about...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    thanks a lot for the help man. sadly all i have access to are an oxyacetylene welder and an arc welder.... will either of those work? i'm guessing an arc would....but i dont know much about welding... so i dont know. so what is your opinion on the single a-arm setup on the independent...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    k thanks for waiting :) when you do read it, also look at these plans and tell me what you think.. http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c14/theo44/Sprint/ the one and main problem i see in this design is the obvious fact that the camber on front AND rear tires is going to be changing...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    ok. that sounds like a good idea... what about suspension? i'd like to have something if i have this much HP and speed... i dont want to be jostled so much my back hurts. i have a little 3.5 hp cart and when i go with any speed through the messy stuff it hurts my back. and no i'm not old...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    by the way...i checked out my 11hp briggs again today. charged up the starter battery and took it for a spin, NO SMOKE!!! so its in good running condition, i just have to fix the carb because i think somebody removed the throttle and did something to the whole setup, there should be a choke...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    awesome, i'm not sure what's wrong with the gears...they ALL went down once, so i ripped it apart on my quest to learn more with mechanics, couldnt figure out what was wrong, re-assembled it, and discovered the forward gears worked. so maybe the shifter is out of whack...i vaguely remember...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    ok cool. well now i have to be a little bit more picky about this...i have one tractor in my yard that has parts like you described...a 3 speed (with blown/broken/misaligned reverse) tranny, a 5 speed tranny, and one running engine. 11hp vert. shaft Briggs. this one i'm looking at picking up...

    EVO body kit

    well he did run up to me to ask about it, but i'm not sure if he noticed which year in the mkIII body style it is. i guess i'd have to call him. but i suppose its 50 dollars better spent elsewhere. thanks for the help guys, i think the first kit is decent, that last one, not soo good, and...

    EVO body kit

    well i'm still not convinced that this would look good on my car so...if you can do that... i'd love to see more pics of that front end.... that one has some weird shadow problems and the foglights look like POO

    EVO body kit

    hmm. that's a rather tough decision... 50 bux seemed like a helluva deal...but then again i dont have a 89+ grille setup and the comment about the style makes sence. i dont quite like the round fogs on the supra....and sadly the holes on this bumper scream "put fogs in me" thanks guys!

    EVO body kit

    Good bad, or just plain ugly? today a man offered me the front lip from an evo kit for 100 then he said he doesn't care about it so he'd let it go for 50 probably. but aside from that, what do you guys think of that bumper/nose? i didnt find very good pics of it and the word "evo" doesnt...

    go-kart w/ lawnmower engine, help!

    i suppose there isnt an advantage. i never liked the idea because it seemed like it would allow slippage or be weaker than a chain....but then again motorcycles use them, and they can even withstand the rubbing when disengaged on a lawn tractor so i dunno... i just found this lawn tractor for...
