    Killing The Myth: ATF vs PS Fluid

    ATF fluid. This thread is about power steering.... not sure how "auto" is playing into your inquiry.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Thinking about running 17x9.5 +18 all around. But want to run the fattest rubber possible. The only other option would be +38 in that size. Would be using RSR race springs + bilstein shocks. Should I get the higher offset and some spacers? I know the +18 will fit with a roll, but I'm not...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I know my 87 hardtop would run close to a 13 flat on stock turbo and shitty tires right now this is in my targa (stock turbo, fuel, ecu, 10psi) http://www.supramania.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=70826&d=1384483825 I did the math and putting this into my hardtop (500+ lb weight...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Put it on the rollers before it gets modified. Stock everything w/ full exhaust (bellmouth DP) @ 10psi @ full operating temp. I think this chart confirms that the head is indeed ported and polished. (was told this, not confirmed) Also got some traction arms in the mail today :cool: welds...

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    I thought the driver's seat was 70 and pass. was 50. I've taken the fully loaded ones out before and that's about what it felt like. *edit: just checked the chart and see it's 66 and 45

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    lmao. It's a pentium 4. If I had celeron I'd be fucked. I think the amount of content + the fast download speed was a bit too much. Almost never have an issue with it. If I go the sound deadening route, I will have already isolated vibration in the panels. Mass loaded vinyl is 1lb per...

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    Let me state again, that noise level is of NO concern to me. Trying to load the second page of your thread froze my computer. (my settings are for max posts per page) I didn't see that you used any vibration dampener (like I already stated that I intend to use)... unless the product you used...

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    lmao. I actually had an exhaust made to get better gas mileage, but you're not telepathic. You ought to see it though, there's hardly a bend in it. You're right about the glass though. In any case, I think that applying some vibration dampener to the panels will be enough. If not, plan B...

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    Will do. Thanks Justin Vibration is the main concern though, but I'll definitely do my homework. good reading here thus far. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    It does do a pretty good job, but not up to the task. AND heavy.

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    I'm running a vibrant resonator maybe 8" casing 3" ID w/ a magnaflow racing muffler 3" ID w/ 12x4" casing. I think I should've gotten a bigger casing on the muffler 5" or something. Anyhow, I think I'll do the hatch first, and tackle the rest shortly there-after. I don't have the tools or...

    The age old problem: too much noise/vibration

    So, I plan on dynamating the hatch of my car, and I thought I'd ask and see if that will be enough, or should I pull the carpet and do the whole damn car? As usual, I get a nice exhaust on my car, and it's just too loud. Sounds great, but the reverberation is too much, it's rattling the car...

    Coil spring spacer? doable? good idea/bad?

    cool, thanks for the input Randy :)

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Took the car out for a spin. (can't let it sit too long) Had one of those nice moments when it feels like you've got a powerglide, but you don't :naughty: (car sits at one spot on the powerband w/ gas floored, while accelerating faster than if you were in traction :cool:) Placed a sizeable...

    Coil spring spacer? doable? good idea/bad?

    yeah, I figured making one to sit on top would be fine.... I'll be running RS*R race springs with bilstein shocks and Tein pillowball mounts *edit: oh, I see, you're saying I should make the spacer for the upper mounts... ok.

    Coil spring spacer? doable? good idea/bad?

    Just curious if it's feasible to have 2 spring spacers made for the two front coil springs. Reason being that the springs (RS*R race) sit 1/4 inch too low in the front, or 1/4 inch too high in the rear either way you look at it. Being a street car, I figured, rather than messing with the rear...
