    Dazien bushing dealer?

    I used the daisen bushings for a short time on my front lower control arms on my 1992 sc400 and I can honestly say I didn't like the way they felt, too spungy feeling...There is a lot of rubber in those bushings, and I don't recommend them. I too got them from Todd atTm Engineering...and...

    1UZ vs. 3UZ Heads (Worked ie: Ported)

    You guys are nuts!! Four digit horse power in a driveable street car is absolutely frightning:yikes: I believe I mentioned this in a prior post a while back that I also thought anything over 650hp in a lexus/soarer/or supra would be too much for those rear tires to grip. I mean these cars are...

    1UZ vs. 3UZ Heads (Worked ie: Ported)

    That definetely looks like a better flowing head to me...Do these newer heads bolt directly onto the 1UZ block with no problems or alterations needed? Anyone know the comparable numbers like rock said?

    Easy way to increase power and torque at the wheels

    Inasnt - 550hp not bad at all, that will get the job done in my book. What car do you have that in your Toyota or Nissan? Just curious? Lighter rims, Driveshaft, flywheel all give you power gains.....
