I am about to receive a CT-26 from a JDM motor. Given the unknown history of these JDM motor, and unaccountable time in a junk yard, should I trust this turbo? He says that it has very minimal shaftplay, which is normal. Should I be worried about bearings or seals? I will definitely be dry...

I was just rummaging through the first 400 Down on the street cars, and found a very good example of my first car. It's a 68, where mine was a 67, but otherwise really similar. Mine had air shocks, not shackle, and was not so beat up on the front. I had all of my lug nuts, and aluminum 5-slot...

I'm 43 now, and have known I have type 2 Diabetes since I was 39. At that time, I drank about a 2-Liter and 4-5 20 oz. cokes a day, plus a fountain coke with my junk lunch. Imagine this, I was pissing quite a bit. It had gotten to where urgent pissing was a problem, and I actually pissed myself...

I bought my shell with an already relocated battery. It is grounded to the body at the center of the spare tire well. The positive runs to the front of the car, where it goes into a junction box. There, it has a post for that wire coming from the battery, a wire going out to the starter, and the...

I have a few questions about the Power Steering in my 92 shell that is nearing completion. The car had no Power Steering lines on it when I got it. The two main lines were looped to keep the system from going dry. First, why would that be done? I assume it is because David did a lot of drag...

Yes, I am the one who posted the Walbro /12Volt article with lots of pictures. I has just pulled that tank back out of that car, and installed it into my new 92, that came with a battery relocation that resides right over the access panel. I stated in my old thread that I was no wiring genius...

I'm not very familiar with turpentine to know it's consistency. But, I had about a 1/2 tank of gas in my 89 when I stopped driving it in February. I want to try to remove the tank, and it should be a much easier job without the extra weight. I'm going to be installing the tank into my new 92...

I just bought a tube of FIPG from Toyota, and I would like to see any tips, tricks, strange uses, facts, EQUAL alternatives, or other information about this stuff. I had one tube before, and I never used it. I let Noah89T use some of it once, but that's it. Now that I needed it, it was hard in...

I have a couple of questions. First, I was just given a parts washer. What type of solvent do I want to use in it? The first part I need to clean is my Power Steering Pump. Is there anything I need to not let the solvent get into? How would I block it from getting into the vacuum nipples...

I was recently in an instant message with Ethan (92TealSupra), and he mentioned that you could use an 89 harness in a 92. I told him that the big square plug (he called it B1) did not match, and he said that the wiring was the same, only the plug was different. All I would need to do is cut off...

I recently replaced my first rear main seal. My motor has 1 quart over full level of oil. After replacing the seal, I attached the transmission, and lifted the whole set up high enough to snug the pressure plate , while working standing up instead of bending over working. I should have used my...

I need some ideas on how to get the back 2 bolts out of the drivers seat with it slid all the way back, and there is no power to the car at all. I have my motor out of the car, and both battery cables came with it. Is there a way to hook up the cables, so I can get power to the car? I have a...

I was just looking at my own iTrader rating, and noticed I had one from Tanya (3). This after what 3-4 consecutive awesome MKIII calendars, and several people I have seen wearing shirts from her store, and other items she sells from there. I feel it is just as important to leave iTrader ratings...

As many have been following, I have been building a 3E5 for quite some time waiting on paint as the last step. As I struggled with clutch issues in that car, I had to pull the motor to get flywheel bolts out that were stubborn. At that time, I found my PAINT in the for of David Z's old Fast Toy...

We were just having a general current events type conversation at work, and we discussed the buy who parachuted out of his plane, and tried to have auto pilot take the plane out into the gulf of Mexico. Discussion then came up about if you had to run, what country would you go to. I contended...

I am planning on swapping my clutch this weekend. It hit me yesterday that I want to have the Flywheel resurfaced in the process. I quickly found out that having it done on the weekend was going to be difficult. I was hoping to be able to borrow one to get it done on Friday, but found out late...

How many people daily drive their Supra? I personally drive a Supra because there is nothing else that I would ever want to drive. Sure there are other cars that would be fun (Corvette ZR1), or bring more pretige (Ford GT40), better gas mileage (I live a mile from work), better chick magnets...

For a little while now, I have been dealing with a really weird starting issue. For th most part, the car does fine. I have had an Optima Red Top battery in it that was almost new (2-3 months of use). It will start fine for 2-3 days, and all of the sudden decide that it does not want to start. I...

I have a 2000 Nissan Altima that I can't figure out. I was driving this car with no problems, and had to slam on brakes. At that time, the car went dead, and has never started again. When I turn the key, it sounds like a small electric motor is running, but doesn't even sound like a motor...

Do these devices get viruses like anything else, while browsing the internet? Also, will a virus one contracts while using Wi-Fi affect computers connected to the same router? How about transferring the virus while synced to the computer? I recently got one in a trade for a Nissan motor I really...
