is it hard to hit that torque with just arm muscle? i cant imagine how you'd do it, but i know its close to impossible to LOOSEN the bolt... i need to check this because i hear funny noises from my engine area... i feared rod knock but sometimes my engine runs smooth as butter....literally...

stop driving it and check ALL your coolant hoses. i had one that i forgot to clip, and another that had a hole that was uncovered after the rebuild. that explains the coolant. not sure about your smoke out the back...but i dont think a BHG, (unless its TOTALLY shot) can cause a loss of...

well one thing i can think of off the top of my head without having much, if any, swap knowledge...is the simple fact that the 7m engines can be found in cars other then the supra. that being said...are you sure you got a supra 7m? the only other thing i could think of would be the RHD/LHD...

nice. i look forward to hearing it. you should take a video once this beast is up and running. so...i take it you will not be adding a turbo. ever. right? do you have a guess range for expected HP/torque numbers with this combo? i'm just curious, mainly because i've never heard of it...

awesome. makes sence, and that's really cool!! why isnt this done more often? the closest TB i've seen that isnt in the stock place is the stock/slightly upgradet TB moved right next to the modified intakes on some supras, where they avoid going over the engine and simply pull air from the...

its weird, but every car with a huge license plate like that makes me think of expensive european superfast cars. lol. i like it. nice car, and those wheels do look prety good.

california.

500 eh? for a turbo? nice whats the scoop?

of course

is anyone up there? or close?

nice buy! now...what the heck was the situation? they guy selling the shell at 12? what happened to the donor car?

few questions; what are you going for with this? uniqueness, high performance? what is an ITB? i'm assuming it has something to do with the throttle body or intake.... maybe...lol individual throttle bodies? what the advantage of having that?

yeah that system is kinda what i meant by trailing arm suspension. this one i saw was weird though, it had two seperate swing arms for the rears and a seperate chain for each, mounting the differential and sprokets off the transmission inboard. perfect idea but he never finished the kart as...

cool. is having the weight so far behind the rear axle ever going to be an issue, or will the frame up front be sufficient to keep weight distribution even? i wonder how well these trannys hold up.... i want to try and hook up for CV shafts if i can...i dont like the idea of a solid mounted...

all or most of these older mowers use a belt drive system that is hinged. there are a set of pulleys that apply pressure to the belt, allowing it to grip the rear tranny input shaft pulley. when you push the break pedal, it moves the pulley setup, on a hinge, to loosen the drive belt just...

those look fairly simple. lol. but maybe there's more to it than meets the eye eh? :D i'm watching this thread, i have a 11hp briggs outside i've always wanted to turn into a gokart, and i have another one with a 5speed tranny and a blown engine, combine the two with a smaller...

maybe i should start a thread on this... i have an engine! 11hp... smokes a bit but might be worth rebuilding?

gokart? GOKART??? pics? plans? thread? i always wanted to take one of our old riding mowers and make a kart... its just difficult with a vertical shaft.... but if you're using the transaxle and getting it geared/ setup for some decent speed, i'm interested.

yeah i agree. nice place. i only frequent good forums....this is one :)

OMG KILL IT! /////edit/////// actually if it weren't for the crap strewn everywhere, and that silly wheel...and the bad assortment of performance gauges/add ons...it would be allright. i think
