think this stuff is worth getting? its basically the same as those silver cans called "engine restore"

this is called EXP4 and has gas additive, oil and ATF... saw them dyno before and after on some car show and they gained a few hp

if its only a few bucks, might as well. i doubt it would hurt it.

Hey Ryan, PM or phone Duane about where to get a metal headgasket for really cheap, he found a company that sells them for a fraction of the price that the HKS costs. And it's strong enough to be going into his car.
Can't remember the company name, but I'm here with Allan (duane's best friend) and he says it's a really good gasket!

Enraged 04-27-2004 11:26 PM

probably Cosmetic, their MHGs are apparantly just as good as the HKS, but alot cheaper. a bunch of the CT guys run them, and if they are good for their 500+ rwhp engines, they are good enough for mine...

Enraged 04-27-2004 11:26 PM

well... add new swaybars to the pile of stuff to go on the supra :) now i just gotta fix the HG and get the intake mani welded haha

islandsupra 04-28-2004 10:55 AM

Right on, you are getting the swaybars from Allan too! I met up with him and stuff yesterday, couldn't resist getting him to order me a set.
Have you seen that guy's car yet? I swear everytime he is around and I see his car, my jaw drops. It's the cleanest thing I have ever seen in my life.
But anyways, I think Cosmetic was the company... and apparently Duane and Allan can get them for a decent price. Good luck with the repairs guys! Hopefully mine isn't as extensive as I fear it will be either.

NashMan 04-28-2004 11:17 AM

well i most likyl goig to get tiatan mhg there cheep and stougn as hell


but we will see i ahve bean thign of rebuild the motor or buying low miale motor and doing some stuff btu we will all see on what i will do

Enraged 04-28-2004 12:31 PM

no, havent seen his car yet. hes going to bring the sway bars over when he comes to see his brother, so it saves me $30 shipping. too bad i just got eibach springs, i would have gotten those STs from him too. oh well, suspension is 75% done now :) just have to figure out what i want to do for chassis bracing....

islandsupra 04-28-2004 12:37 PM

Yeah he said he'd bring over yours, mine and Bob's swaybars and drop them off at his brothers. Man.... when you go to pick up your swaybars from Byron's place, ask him to take a look at Allan's car!
We went there yesterday to pull off his FCD and stuff.. it kinda looks weird because it's sitting on spare tires, and he's getting it repainted and a whole new engine set up put in, but it is still gorgeous!

Enraged 04-28-2004 01:18 PM

ok.. who? so allans brother is bryson? bryson is in naniamo?

islandsupra 04-28-2004 01:48 PM

haha, no... sorry man. Allan's brother's name is BYRON. He lives in Duncan, that's where Allan is storing his car.
I know that Allan said he's going to bring my swaybars over, and I am going to keep my set at Byron's until I can figure out how to get them.
I'm not sure if he's going to come to victoria or not to drop your's and Bob's sets off. I just suggested that if you have to go to Byron's to get the swaybars... ask to take a look at Al's car :)

NashMan 04-28-2004 02:15 PM

I dunno where you got that shit about im reusing my head bolts!? I have ARP Head Studs that i am going to use, that i have always planned to use! And just because im not going crazy on the internals on my engine doesnt mean im not rebuilding it correctly or "everything else is stock", i have quite a few things in mind actually, i just keep this to myself.

NashMan 04-29-2004 06:41 AM

don't have to go crazy when rebuilding a engine

me i don't know what i gonna do there is so many ways i can go

Enraged 04-29-2004 11:41 AM
