    Am I the only one with this bad of luck?!?!

    Lol. I did have my share of health problems, but they all came when I was an infant/toddler. First I was almost born in september when i was due in january (which was when I did actually arrive.) Came damn near breaking the water, the doctors said if that happened I had about a 50/50 shot...

    Am I the only one with this bad of luck?!?!

    Wow, I thought I had crappy luck till I read some of these stories, car related or life in general. I honestly hate to see that but it does make me feel a lot better.

    Lets play "Name that Part" - Cylinder Head Stuff

    Those rockers are definetly scorpions, they look just like mine. I would be very concerned as stated above with the condition of those stem tips though.

    question concerning counter shaft in t5

    The stock shim is .173, with no shim at all I measured only .010 endplay. Don't have any that thin to use.

    question concerning counter shaft in t5

    I got the countershaft back in the transmission, but she has no play whatsoever. Is this? She spins around just fine but I believe it needs a shim skinnier than what I have. Right now the stocker is in it.

    is your car ready for summer?

    Working two jobs to fund the damn thing so time is limited and the only thing left in the t5 is a bearing race. The mainshaft is assembled though at least minus a pin lol. She'll be driveable then but shes in dire need of a 3g alt swap, electric fan, and subframe connectors.

    New cam and nirtous plus ring and gear in

    The cam can be done with proper research and a good understanding of how an internal combustion engine works. It's really not too bad with the right tools and mindset. The gears on the other hand, you really need to let a pro do that. I am considering attempting to regear my car back...

    Got the T5 apart and semi assembled, need some help

    Is the pin the only thing necessary for that area? I pulled up a diagram and it said something about a pin and a ball.

    Got the T5 apart and semi assembled, need some help

    Alright so I may be up **** creek here. Got the mainshaft out, put almost everything back together, but the guide I've been following syas something about a pin for the 1st gear sleeve. I don't have a pin or anything for it. Should there be one there, and where will I be able to get one at...

    I won't ever own a toyota unless it's a supra.

    Something else I want to buy....

    I run 255 BFG's on my 16" chrome ponys and the car will hook extremely well for stock suspension (minus kyb struts and shocks, NO SFC's) and I am a 10:1 306 with a 100 shot currently (going to a 150 when the wideband is hooked and a-ok.) With 22lbs on the back tires, unheated, with the combo in...

    How tight is tight??~AN fittings???

    For An fittings I ran myn up tight by my fingers, then maybe a half turn or so with a regular wrench. Turn the bottle slightly open, listen to all bottle fittings for leaks and tighten slightly what needed to be tigthtenend and everything was good to go.

    150 shot and 93 octane?

    The #1 cylinder rockers were installed at TDC according to their movements and the balancer was right on the money at 0*. As far as a piston stop I didn't go that far to check TDC. Not sure what the advance is at 2500 rpm I'll see if I can check ti tommorow.

    trick flow combo?

    My setup is more aggressive than the tfs kit and my car is only tuned by cranking the dizzy and playing the fuel pressure regulator. I also run 24lb injectors and a wet shot and she gets plenty o fuel through the stock lines and rail. Just upgrade the fuel pump.

    150 shot and 93 octane?

    It's a wet kit. It's a stock type balancer but it's a year old almost to the day. Anythign below 20* the car runs like pure crap, hesitates, and just acts like a car without enough timing in it. Also the spout is still in the car, so no the dizzy isn't locked out. Makes no sense why it's...

    Best drag radials on pony wheels???

    I just put the bfg d/rs on my ponys a month ago or so and they work very well. I wanted the mickeys but price and availabilty caused me to lean toward the bfg's. My car does not spin anymore though.

    150 shot and 93 octane?

    Would it be wise to put the 150 jets in the car with just pump gas? I know the timing will have to be pulled back, which is another thing insane, I run 25* all motor and 22* on the spray with no problems at all. Don't have a clue as to why it likes it that high either but it runs like crap...

    Will the computer learn my new setup?

    Rotating the maf around the inlet tube either clockwise or counterclockwise to move the little sensor around from being straight up. The computer will learn your mods, but you won't get the most out of it, and you may have minor driveability issues at times. To get the most out of the...

    thinking about a head swap

    I bought a used set of heads and will never do it again. If you buy used heads unless you really KNOW the person you bought them from you would be very wise to have a valve job done and let the machine shop check the guides and all the good stuff. Had I bolted my "5k mileage" afr heads on my...
