stock block 7m's will make more than that, and stock block 2jz's will make a lot more than that (both reliably for thousands of miles) ::dead horse:: A lot of factors come into play as to why engines fail. If Ian's had as much success as he has assembling the engine the way he did... that's that.

that would be .0020" (inches)

Some guys on the VW forums were talking about them, one guy had been running hawk HP+ previously and said they were much better suited for track use than the HP+s http://blog.caranddriver.com/performance-brake-pads-compared-hawk-hps-hawk-hp-plus-ebc-yellowstuff/ Here's what I saw. The charts...

This is true, however as soon as I made plans to up the power output, plans to improve braking were already in motion. Stock brakes do work well, but if you're punishing them they won't like it too much.

Damn, one reply with 46 views (and more on mobile devices). I guess Ian and I are the only two people to use aftermarket brakes. o_O Anywho, I saw some test results from a few severely abused brake pads. Looked like the EBC yellow held up the best. I think I'll give those a spin this time...

definitely down for poly bushings (all of them) t4 manifold that fits (divided) solid axle swap would be good front splitter w/ undertray adaptors for other brake calipers/rotors

I looked around and didn't really see any threads quite like this. So here it is. Feel free to discuss what pads/rotors you use. I'm really looking for experience with pads, but any specific input is welcome. I'll start out. In the past I ran Hawk carbon/ceramic race pads on my car with...

buying more parts... again... custom brackets for z32 calipers, now for some custom hub spacers

yeah I just ordered new glass housings for now to see how they fit. I may order the front retainers for them and make custom mounts for the rear. I'm assuming they're the same width. I also think the bulbs plug into the existing harness as well.

going to try mount them, see about modifying the armature. the z31 lights look to be about half the height of the stock supra lights, but still have the same factory look of that era

got some new OEM '87 z31 headlights in the mail... see about a retrofit.

just saw, this, very nice write-up, may be useful in the near future

I got this w/ my one-piece cause my engine mount was sheered. it was obvious that the engine was sitting crooked though

hm.... I might be buying a new set of tail lights, since I can't find any good used ones, in that case, I'll probably get a set of fiberglass 89+ trim, and have all the trim painted gunmetal or something so tempted to be semi-lazy and keep the 88 trim, but I can't find any used lenses for L or...

hm... well I'm in the process of aquiring a couple 89+ center pieces. I may still have a broken one around here somewhere too... if I figure out a good way to do it, I'll document it

:yelrotflm Yeah, I had one like that. mine has a resonator now, but the casing on the muffler for sound-deadening is only .5" (4" on 3" ID) so it's still pretty loud and raspy. low frequency resonation is borderline too much My tuner made mine, it's getting the flat black treatment...

I'm going to recommend this as well. I've heard these and they are reasonably quiet, but still have excellent sound. I've run magnaflows on all of my cars, but to be honest, they are a little on the loud side, although they sound reeally good.

looks promising. is that twin scroll btw?

I was just enjoying reading over your thread (which is a great read, BTW :D) but I noticed something I just inquired about the other day. (well half of it anyhow) I noticed you took the trim off of your 89+ tail-lights. I was contemplating doing this and trying to use the 88 trim on the center...

hm. I've heard those endlinks are fine, I'm'll wait to see if they snap :icon_bigg I think he wants to cover the basics first though. Which is a good idea.
