toby's car liek to drift great candent for auto x since now it has some ballz and such

Enraged 03-10-2007 10:17 PM

maybe. supra needs to run before i spend any more on the celica...

Enraged 03-12-2007 06:53 PM

ok, how do i get an old crusty fuel injector gasket/ring out of my head, without damaging the head, or dropping bits into the engine? i stuffed a piece of rag with a string into the hole to catch most of the bits, and then blew the area with compressed air. problem is, the crusty rubber is stuck in the head, i managed to cut/scrape some out.... does it have to be pristine clean, or is a bit of crap ok? i have new ones to go on the injectors.

NashMan 03-12-2007 11:02 PM

huh you mean the o ring or the injecotr gromets


on a another note i dynoed my car shocred 221 hp adn 250 akak blow 10 ratio icky

so i looked over my car and foudn a big bad boost leak aka the teh lower ice rubber pipe was cracked and soem fo teh worm clamps were striped fix that and wow i got even more power hehheheh

i goig to dyno may car agoing but at higher boost and such

ps this is at 7.5 psi

Enraged 03-13-2007 06:44 AM

wow, good numbers! you should put an S-AFC on it and tune it a little bit

Enraged 03-13-2007 07:34 AM

and i mean the injector grommets, the ones that sit in the head. #5 is stuck in there. i cleaned off the fuel rail while i was at it, holy crap that thing as dirty. and i actually have all the washers for the fuel system, the new ones are silver and have a lower torque setting than the old copper washers. they came in the gasket set that i bought.

best way to clean the injectors before i reinstall them? soak them in gas?

NICE! I want a Viggen more, but I remember when we first got the 9-3 SSs in, they were a blast to drive.

Equal length half-shafts are great.

Quiet you. You'll end up liking them once I get one and you see what they can do. Your experience with them so far is only with dead ones in the yard correct? They're much more fun when they're alive.

arturiusma7 03-14-2007 07:31 PM

yea the car is so much fun. it does 60mph to 0 in 111 ft!! like holy shit! haha. it handles like crrazy too

toms_supra 03-14-2007 07:33 PM

Hey fellow supra owners, im in need of a 7mgte in good running condition. Anyone know who has one or know of anyone selling one please let me know. Thanks.

I have a smashed up 88 red turbo automatic. Pretty much any part are still there so let me know. :)

arturiusma7 03-14-2007 07:34 PM

actually im selling mine out of my car. it still pulls very strong, but the hg is questionable and would do good from a GOOD HG job. has arp bolts in it already.

islandsupra 03-14-2007 10:07 PM

hey toby, how much is that stuff costing you? I'm digging the spark plug valley cover.

Enraged 03-15-2007 07:15 AM

not sure yet. i bought the sheet of aluminum through work, so it was cheap. not sure on what its going to cost to punch and bend the parts. i might be bending the parts myself with the help of one of the guys at work, so the bending would be free.

i need to make at least $250 off these parts, i may be buying a metal lathe :)

NashMan 03-15-2007 06:27 PM

my shit is freee lol ro next to free lol

fletch 03-16-2007 12:07 PM

GO SAAB! Those 9-3s are sexy, now i miss my Saab :(

-fletch

Enraged 03-16-2007 01:15 PM

holy crap, nickel'n'dimed to death.

Taylor aluminum Battery box $125
Taylor battery cutoff switch $38
Lokar 36" Stainless throttle cable $67
Ron R Alt drop brackets US$40
IS300 coils $150
IS300 wires US$30+

but its getting closer to being done :)

luckily the parts will be bent early next week i think, so i can sell those to offset some cost...

arturiusma7 03-16-2007 02:41 PM

your all going to murder me... my supra is for sale :( i cant store it anymore, and im forced to sell.. i will get another one in a year or so.. but it will most likly be a mk4.. it makes me sad too because the motor is actually in great shape in my car :( just the post HG job worries.. but its fine :(
