Vonda, I think you should have a sticker made similar to the Supra Mania logo stickers that I was giving out at Chicago. It should be your name as seen in your signature in purple. You should apply it just over your driver door handle.

Your oil pressure will be affected by the pump itself, the clearance on your rod and main bearings, and the condition of the head and cam journals. Just use a machine shop that follows specs and make sure oil the oil ports in the block , head, and crank are cleared out good.
Were you trying to say that it wouldn't be affected by a new oilpump?

yeah the oil pressure comes from how close your tolerances are. The tighter you build that beast the better your pressure. I built mine tight for that reason and to hopefully last longer over time from normal wear. And of course like Cryo stated, if your pump is in spec. I would definitely consider a pump if there are alot of miles on it. I went one step further and did the supply line upgrade that ARZ supplies. I didnt like the banjo fitting the stock setup has. There are also the stainless braided lines that Aaron at driftmotion offers, but I just felt better about a solid tubing supply. Aaron and Suprarich both offer modified 7m oil pumps that are suppose to out flow stock pumps. I have yet to see comparison numbers, so who knows if they actually flow more. They are a bit more expensive so I would have to see numbers to invest in one.

Vix your car is hot. It doesnt need the V. But since the outline of the raised center of the hood is a V shape It wouldnt look out of place either. It would look just like a modified paint scheme or something.

Well, I was thinking about adding one of those three foot tall after market spoilers, and painting a big purple V right in the middle of the hood. Do you think this will add any HP???:sarcasm:

Just incase anybody took me seriously, I was joking about the spoiler and the V........................;)

I really like the exterior of my car.

That's not to say that the head rest of my seat won't have a V stitched in it when the interior gets recovered.

Just so this thread doesn't get confused with certain other threads that are going on, I decided to post up some pictures of Vixens empty engine bay. It looks like ass right now, but with some cleaning and a little paint, it will look alot better.
