hm... well I've owned lots of 7m's that never had a BHG... of course they were all properly assembled (not using inadequate factory torque specs on the head) I've had one w/ a BHG, but it had a BHG before I even got it. so all in all, it's safe to say that the 7m can be problematic, but like...

I hope you're not assuming that's what I did, because you'd be mistaken mine came w/ paperwork stating mileage of the vehicle it was pulled from (wrecked a70) when I pulled it apart it was obvious it'd been sitting in a junk yard for a looong time. had an easy life though... hardly any carbon...

I don't know whether to be amused or what

let us know how it goes

seems like a lot of people are saying getting a used engine is a bad idea... but IMO it's not a bad option, especially if you can get one w/ super low miles.... I bought a jdm 7mgte from jazzproparts ($900 or so) when mine ate it's-self (think it suffered internal damage from overheating too...

this is true ^

no one said no one doesn't need high-cap mags, you could in fact NEED them... my argument was quite the opposite, saying, personally using a 1911 in .45 I couldn't really see myself needing more than ~4 shots

bwahaha... seriously though, who needs more than 7-8 rounds? .45 is downright menacing when discharged... probably only need 4 shots or less to put the fear of god in someone

grow up, man we've been over this before. I am ever so mildly autistic, so go ahead and be a nazi about that... and whatever else you wish to harass me about my speedo does work :-/ my tach does not... I though I explained that all of my gauges were tampered with. for the record guys, you...

jesus christ... get over it guys. I get where yall are coming from, but seriously, the assumptions, jumping to conclusions, and finger pointing are just flat out unnecessary and quite frankly immature. and yes JJ if you go look up the technical definition of genious, I do fall in that...

yeah, fooling around with elementary math would've taken more time, sure it would have been no issue figuring out, but if I only have a few spare minutes, wouldn't it be easier if someone was able to just tell me off the top of their head? if I don't have time to work the math out, I don't have...

hm... lets see what I can figure out... I was just wanting bone stock figures. I USED to know my car so well that when my speedo broke I just shrugged it off... I knew how fast I was going at any given time. that was in 07 before my car was stolen... I know for a FACT that my car would hit...

I've been trying to get my gauges set right. my tach was off when I got the car (some asshole put crinkled white gauge faces in the car) but I can't remember what speeds you hit at 3krpm in each gear (r154 and 3.73) I'd really appreciate any help.

Yeah, If the torque was factory spec I would've known though... the guy was smart enough to use a MHG and ARPs so he had to've known something about what he was doing...

damn grandavi... I checked to see if mine were torqued to 72 ft/lbs (arp head bolts were torqued more than that, didn't really bother to find out how much more) had to check because my engine had ? parts @ ? torque. (previous owner had no clue) ?'s don't make me comfortable... luckily my...

yeah... (._.) what he said

I'd say $150-200 (used) If you're gonna go that route though... you may as well get an air gun. that's what I shoot most of the time. they're cheap as dirt to shoot... the one I have shoots just a hair under the speed of sound... I guess it comes down to preference though. I like my...

I'm jelly. I want a hardtop :( my last one was stolen. I just picked up a 89 targa though w/ a fresh engine w/ specs almost identical to yours... runs like a stabbed rat got mine in Jan. I drive it around w/ no tags since I can't get it inspected w/ out an exhaust on it. some asshole on...

this is true... however there are much more important things for me to focus on than matching seats :) last time I checked, paint/body work is REALLY expensive, and I estimated my suspension, wheels and tires will be 3.5k minimum... and I'm already throwing $$ at the drivetrain O_o gotta say...

that is the question. mine always stayed DEAD on 14.7 (normal driving)
