    My Supra's Chronicles (400hp goal)

    Lots of progress (kind of...) Got my a new (refurbed) head that was 115.7mm new cams, new valves. It has a casting number of 12 vs my old head that was 8, but both share the same factory imperfections, anyone know what the differences between numbers meant? Anyways, got the head...

    HKS headgasket questions

    I ordered a HKS headgasket and the way it was packaged caused it to be "warped" not bent. Bent would be a crease, the "warp" means it has just been stored that way for a while. I put it under my mattress with some plywood on top, and it was flat again ;) (I sent it back due to wrong size...

    Snapon Ratchet broken, just wondering what to expect with warranty coverage

    Cool... I'm hoping it is that easy. I've had so many issues with craftsman, that I'm not used to that. I've also heard issues with people who don't have 20k worth of tools trying to get any service from trucks. We'll see when I finnally catch a truck. I broke a ratchet and sears said that...

    What would you do?

    Being a teen in High School and having a supra (though it isn't anything special) will lead to people people talking shit about my car, saying their car is faster, and I always have one of two replies. Yes and No. Them: My car is faster than yours... Me: Yep (doesn't matter if they are...

    Snapon Ratchet broken, just wondering what to expect with warranty coverage

    Epic car fails of 09

    I've cut the tip of my finger off, not nearly as bad, but still a somewhat similar injury (though mine was much cleaner) I can say the first thing that went through my mind was, that ooops I just cut my hand pretty bad. The next thought is to cover it up. There is no pain, just thoughts of...

    Canada VS. USA

    That was one helluva game, in my opinion hockey is the best sport to watch, American football/soccer have constant breakup of action, and baseball simply has no action. Definately a great way to finish up the olympics, and if you're going to earn the silver metal, that is the way to earn it.

    yeah... I looked at their kits, I have all the parts except these two adapters, which cost about 10 bucks, don't want to spend all the money on the kit just to use the two fittings.
