SUV = Stupid User Vehicle. Trucks are no better. (5000lbs of out of control mass with no weight over the rear tires, and no brains behind the wheel.) Too fast for conditions with some people is 1mph. LOL

Yep, the NorthAmerica ones get GM Ecotecs with blowers. Now, skip the belt driven pressure and give me the Ecotec from the Turbo Solstice.. and about 450hp... :) Then the wider rear tires, larger brakes and other stuff that slightly more weight car would have to deal with, and BOOM goes...

If they are building them on the Honda design shown on the Probe site, it's going to be interesting to see the final product. Nice deep skirt where it counts. Fully cut skirts on the sides where you don't need material anyway. Reinforced webbing to support the material around the pin...

Well, you guys notice that while the car made it out of this quite intact, the fact that the passenger side ended up "under" the rear tires is the reason the passenger died. The car did survive quite well, but what I don't understand is how it got there? (The driver tried to turn under the...

You never know when your card is going to be punched, so be good, enjoy life and tell those that you love how you feel, and give them a hug. :) It is a sad day indeed when a child is killed anytime, but especially when they are teens, and celebrating in ways they will find out later in...

Coatings or blankets and wraps are good alone, but as noted, together they are an awesome combination to fight underhood heat. My coatings experiance has been mostly with Techline coatings, and they have held up very well. The powder coating I've had done has also held up well. The...

The better syncro design would be worth the trouble for sure. I wonder how easy it would be to change over the "guts" from this trans to the older R154 so you can use the new triple cone syncro's, and keep the cast iron sandwich plate, and correct output shaft housing and our speedo and ABS...

I might put it back together for Christmas... then again, I might not. :) I'm pretty sure I have everything I need to get the job done, so that means that I'm about 150.00 away in fittings and other "stuff" that will be needed to complete the car... LOL Just when I think I'm done, I...

I belive the reason my Supra is still up on jack stands is I've lost interest in 95% of what's going on anymore. :) Besides, the FZ1 is faster! (However, I have to admit that new Ducati is a wicked bike for sure! Then again, so is the price.)

I've been told I have no sense of humor, so I'm not worried about this at all. :) As far as "inside" jokes go, I'm generally the last to know or care what's going on, so no worries there either. ;) Talk about Supra's or bikes, and I'm happy as a clam. (Talk about everything else on the...

Springs are easy. Comp cams BBC inner valve springs. (Funny that they sell them in boxes of 12..... Yet there are no V8's that use a combination of 12 anything valve wise..) Best 70.00 your ever going to spend on the 7MGTE. (These springs have a better coil bind height, and the pressures...

I'm curious to see the photos somewhere other than Ebay, or ebay haters websites. I would replace the hot side housing on that turbo, more than likely it's a P trim? Not sure however, but with some simple measurements of the exhaust wheel, and a turbo dealer could tell you what trim exhaust...

Line are simple. Return line from the PS cooler goes into the upper smaller fitting on the tank. The larger line at the bottem of the tank feeds the power steering pump. There should be a small line going from the steering rack to the cooler line. (This is the return line off the steering...

Do more research. seriously the pistons are totally NOT compatable. Pin bore is the wrong height, piston diameter is way too big for the 7MGTE bore.

"Your birdcage is empty" .... Seriously though the sensor in your overflow tank is probably stuck, or broken. Remove the tank, clean it up really good, and see if the "float" on the sensor moves up and down like it's supposed to do. (If the float is stuck, then it does not matter how much...

Problem is Primedia will figure out a way to F up this idea too. (Like making SCC and Turbo really just report the same things month to month, and have them use the same articles and photos, sometimes while the same magazines were even on the shelf together...) I remember laying out one copy...

Actually, that 3cyc turbo engine was quite a fun car IIRC. :) Beats the heck out of the 3cyc they put into the "GEO" here in the USA. (Similar motor IIRC, but no turbocharged.) The turbo here was a 4cyc in the Geo/Sprint, but I could be wrong. (Heck, it's been years since I worked on one...

As far as I know, this band does not exist, but it should. "Fecal Matter" Oh, it does not get better than that. (Unless you think of the album names..) "Feeling flushed" "Paper work" "Courtsy Flush" "Splash Down" And the final, greatest hits... "When the log rolls over...

Techlinecoatings.com has FAQ pages, and they offer "consumer" products you can apply in your garage. (That is where I applied most of mine.) I have a HVLP touch up gun from Harbor Freight. I also have a airbrush from Harbor Freight too. (Both are copies of quality HVLP and airbrush designs...

LOL, I have the stroker 7MGTE, but if cost was no object, I'd go with the following. LS7 based engine with custom pistons CR of 9:1 Everything coated where possible. Two GT35 turbos on inconell custom manifolds. Custom 6 speed trans and rear diff that would handle the power. (Think...
