    guess what axle?

    Ok I need a different axle for the Celica when it gets the 1UZ in around May. A MK1 Supra axle would be great, but they are hard to come by and are 4 bolt wheels anyway. A Toyota pickup axle would be good cause it is the same size as the Supra, and 5 bolt. But it is made for leaf springs...

    Supra Vs. LS400 (95) Brake Upgrade

    Dude Sattara you are saying the SC was the flgship in like 92. You are comparing the LS to SC WHEN the SC wasapparently the flagship---in 92 (or whatever year). Only your logic in the braking is extremely flawed because YOUR COMPARING PARTS THAT ARE 4 YEARS NEWER. Compare the SC400 in 95 or...

    Supra Vs. LS400 (95) Brake Upgrade

    Yeah I know---just in part of Sattara's argument he stated the SC400 was pretty much the Lexus flagship when it was released. Was it later on? I dont know---but it doesnt seem to have been for long.

    Cooling problems on my V8 Hilux

    Its the fans. Even people with V6 Tacomas have cooling problems when switching to Flex-a-Lite electric fans...dual fans. There seems to be very few aftermarket fans (electric) that can keep up to the needs of pretty much any truck. Tacoma stock fans are somethin like 3500-4000 cfm I recall...

    Supra Vs. LS400 (95) Brake Upgrade

    Your comparing the calipers off a 95 later LS400 to the calipers off a stock 92 or whenever the SC was introduced. I know jack **** about the pre 95 LS400 calipers other than there is very little demand for them. Your comparing the wrong calipers man.

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    How about people shut the **** up and say what the benefits are. Not cost approximations, draw backs, power gains where how or whatever. I said it several times and it goes back on the personal ****. If there are no productive questions or statements regarding the benefits then whys it...

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    Not everyone has a auminum capable welder---TIG or spool gun MIG. Even if I did I wouldnt want ITB's, for a 4cyl why not? But not this motor. You just have more **** to fab. Thats basically it. Plus a system that is sure as hell not a garentee. Was my initial statement on the basis behind...

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    Ok if everyone is going to get all intesne---whats are IBS (IBT's lol) for? Dont they just equalize pressures in all cylinders and kinda a attempt at matching intake manifold pressure pulses? My room mate got some from some Nissan car to put on his SR20DET. They are hyped, in much beside a...
