you know you're a n/a owner when you look under the car in desperate hopes to find a LSD, check your vin number, and then when all hope is lost you realize you don't have the power to need one ANYWAY.

you know your a n/a owner when; every time you see a supra you see look for a "turbo" badge, in hopes there won't be one, and you'll feel a bit more confident that you're not the only one missing out....
and if there is a turbo badge, you quickly analyze the aesthetics of the car and judge it upon it's looks, pointing out every flaw in retribution of your crushed ego, in light that the car "looks much worse" than yours.

(ok well that hasn't quite happened as dramatically as i put it, but i don't like to see turbos when i dont have/drive one!! lol...and thankfully all the turbos i see are trashed.)

LOL I did the same thing looking to see if I had LSD!! In the end I ended up putting it in before I pulled the motor.

And the realizing you dont have the power you need to have LSD anyway???? For those that have not seen it yet!!!! I had it to the floor and the lsd and brakes were just to much for the na. I couldnt get the RPM's above 3500 the engine just bogged so I let out.:3d_frown:

This is right after I got the 391 lsd in before I pulled the engine and took apart the car for its complete makeover.

along with the fenders, interior, and nearly all other conceivably removable parts?

:3d_frown: ......:biglaugh:

i love the fact you left the auxiliary fan in the engine bay, despite it being easily removable by disconnecting it's power plug...hahaha.

however i suppose if you're doing a quickie swap and dont want a mess that's the way to go eh? ;)

Lol, that depends on how long it's been whining. It's like a wife that nags, the longer it whines the more headaches you have.:icon_bigg

I'm sure no car expert, but I think you are headed in the right direction with a good flushing out. I'll have to have that done to mine or if needed a replacement power steering pump.
