    Mushy brake pedal only with engine running

    So I finished installing my front big brake kit from Arizona Performance, and bled the system. Everything went well, but the brake pedal was very mushy when the engine was running. It would go almost to the floor (felt like it bottomed out in the master cylinder first?) with enough pressure. So...

    Spotted: Grey/Silver 89+ Supra at Mid Ohio

    I saw a nice 89+ Grey/Silver Supra at Mid Ohio SCC over the weekend during the LeMans/Indy races. Looked stock, but was very clean with no rust and it was driving into the infield parking (before the bridge if you are familiar w/ the track). Anyone on here?

    LC-1 Wideband - extended bung?

    I'm installing my Innovate Motorsports LC-1 wideband O2 sensor and the only bung that the kit came with was the "extended" one. This leaves very little of the sensor directly exposed to the exhaust gases. However, I did a little research and read that the extended bungs extend the life of the...

    IS300 (2JZ-GE) Cold Start Rattle/Knock

    Hey guys, In case any of you didn't know I purchased a certified used IS300 to replace my Prelude as the daily driver. I'm loving the car so far except for a sound that has me a little worried. When cold started (sat for at least a few hours) I get a slight rattle/knocking for about a second...

    GM Certified Used vs Factory Warranty

    So I've never owned a car with a warranty before, and I've been thinking about replacing the Prelude with a Pontiac G8 GT for my daily. I've run across a few certified used ones with a price tag ~1-2 grand more than the rest. The following is what they state for certified used cars...

    Garrett GT3788R...the middle ground between a GT35R and GT4088R?

    I've been looking at the GT35R for a while now since I've wanted a fast spooling turbo with good midrange power. However, the GT4088R provides more power potential while sacrificing a little spool time. Garrett also has the GT3788R which *supposedly* provides the spool of a 3582R with the...

    Arknotts' 92 Teal Build

    My name is Andy, and I have a 92 Teal that I've just started to build. I originally had an '87 shell that I was going to fix and drop a 7M in, but due to school and other things didn't have the time or motivation to finish it. I bought the 92 in March '09 from another member on here (although he...

    Removing the fuel feed fitting at the tank

    I'm trying to remove my gas tank to install my walbro fuel pump, and I'm having a really hard time getting the fitting off for the fuel feed (the one where the hard line connects to the rubber line). I've tried 4 applications of PB blaster, letting it soak overnight and I still cannot get that...

    FFIM intercooler pipe routing pictures

    I'm going to get a FFIM for my car, and I'm trying to figure out how I am going to do the cold side pipes (intercooler to manifold). I know people do it one of two general ways: 1) Route it straight down near the A/C compressor 2) Go down near the battery/headlight (with a relocated battery...

    Flushing the coolant...with a twist

    I purchased a PWR radiator for my car, and I want to install it. However, I don't think the coolant has been changed in my car for quite some time (new car for me) and I want to do a flush of the system to clean out anything that may be in there. The car is in a non-running condition right now...

    Introduction #2...now with a '92 Teal

    Hey guys, I had an '87 shell that was my old project car, but due to time constraints I never did much with it. I sold that locally, and recently I got a new '92 Teal Supra back in March, and have been meaning to do an introduction for a while now. I didn't get around to it since I've been...

    Thread size of fuel feed fitting

    I'm making a trip to summit racing to get the fittings I need to install my AFPR, and I can't seem to find the thread size of the fuel feed fitting (not on the rail, the one below the manifold). Part #23849C in this diagram: I did a search, and if someone can just confirm for me the...

    In an accident 30 mins after leaving dealer with a $2,000 bill...

    So my Dad has a 2001 Ford Taurus which he took into the dealer to have $2,000 worth of work done (lots of misc. things which built up over time, plus the crazy cost of labor at the dealer). 30 minutes after picking up the car yesterday at the dealer someone in a F-150 pulls out in front of him...

    Metallic screech/squeak under load @ 2500 rpm on my Prelude

    Hey guys, This isn't about my supra, but rather my 2001 Honda Prelude SH (my DD). Not sure why there is so much distaste towards Hondas on here, but I love mine even if it has no torque ;). I've been having a noise for a while now and I can't track it down. Exactly at 2500 rpms I can hear...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    My transmission seems to be leaking fluid from the rear right where the driveshaft goes into the transmission. I only have a small puddle when it sits after driving, but it has blown all over the underbody and exhaust from leaking while driving. I plan on pulling the driveshaft this week to see...

    My introduction

    Hey, my name is Andy and I live in Ohio. I am currently in the market for an MKIII project car (hopefully turbo 5 speed) that my brother and I will work on. I currently own a 2001 prelude sh (which I will still keep as my DD), and as much as I love that car, I would like to have a RWD car with...
