    i like surfing the used wheels sites. getting a good deal on some used wheels and paying to have them profesionally refinished can be cheaper than new ones, and can actually look better. http://www.takumiproject.com http://www.rbmotoring.com http://www.pandagarage.com ill look around in my bookmarks for more. im a wheel whore and spend long hours looking for good prices.

    im with the guy in the moving truck. if you asked him to move, and he told you to screw yourself, id give him the gravel shower, but you didnt. i would have done the same thing, and props to the guy for having the balls to back himself up.

    i am still in contact with paulo. he emailed me a picture of the parts i was interested in, finished and ready to ship. i think ill give him another chance (since paypal can always get my money back for me) and ill let everyone know how it goes.

    were you talking to me? if so i wasnt the one disagreeing with you. i only built it this way because i have a 4" turbo inlet, not for any imaginary gains in efficiency. and not to doubt your high and mighty degrees in basket weaving or whatever, i run this setup every day. runs like a factory car under WOT or part throttle. rock solid AFRs, and its pretty quick.

    i have heard of that happening since the Z32 MAFS i use is all platic. i wrapped a few zip ties around it for a little extra support. i know i already posted this pic in another post, but you can see the blow through setup in it. MAFS is now on the left side of the pic on the cold pipe right before the T body. notice the aluminum brace we had to weld in to keep the pipes together.

    ive heard the same. i have about 4" on the t-body side, and 6" on the IC side and it seems ok. very nice throttle response.

    im using a blow-through setup on my 240sx right now. been using it for over a year with no problems. i have a good sized turbo and once i started hitting 1bar of boost i was blowing the I/C pipes apart. nothing we did would hold the silicone couplers on there so we ended up welding a piece of aluminum accross the MAFS.

    main problem is the valve stem on the inside. can be a bit of a pain. thanks for the complements!

    old epsilons. 15x7 and 15x8. flipped them for deep lips. spent a crapload of money getting them polished but it was worth it.

    wish i had a pic of all the pretty carbon fiber parts i ordered from that fazztz73 guy but they never came but i do have these:)

    i have a GT3071R and a -4 feed line on my SR. have been boosting hard for over a year without a restrictor and the turbo is still clean. i have heard horror stories of people ruining very expensive turbos though.

    there are a few RHD conversions here in AZ. people get silvia/180sx clips for the engines. many of them are dashboard-forward and contain everything you need for the swap.

    OMG that rolla is sick. i have a spare SR here that was going in my 260, but now im thinking maybe i should just boost it stock and swap the toyota. id like to talk to you or your friend more about that swap. is he running that SR non intercooled? no BOV? heres my other SR20
  16. skillet
    so sick. unreal.

    that thing is absolutly beautifull. i hang out with more toyota heads than nissan/datun people so i can appreciate the cleanness of that car. heres my daily. 81 TE72. had to use cusco camber plates to get the wheels to stop rubbing but otherwise pretty stock. (ugly rear buper is gone now)

    ive had a tiny odessey battery in my 240sx for about 15 months now. its been drained all the way down and recharged numerous times and it just keeps on working. you can get them on ebay for around 90 shipped. great battery in my opinion, and less than half the size of an optima. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ODYSSEY-PC680-DRY-BATTERY-PC-680-wiith-AUTO-TERMINALS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33574QQihZ004QQitemZ140034909835QQrdZ1

    i love looking at the restored.jp site. i know they actually sponsor a few toyotas in the states, so maybe the products will be easier to get soon.

    the celica is one of my favorite old-schools. i may be buying one myself soon (dont worry, the Z gets done first, but i cant pass the toyota up)
  21. skillet
    awesome. did you guys actually do any tuning of the cam gears? did it make much difference?
  22. skillet
    just getting my daily fix of your car. im seriously in love. possibly my favorite Z so far.
  23. skillet
    absolutly speechless. im in love.

    Onis for life:tongue: I was looking for a set for my Corolla(wannabe 510), but i spent all my money on a set of beautifull 15x8 Epsilon for my Z and put the Zs old enkei mesh on the rolla. Not to get to far off topic, that Celica is one of my favorite cars of all time, and the Longchamps are about the coolest wheels ever. Either car would be a sweet project though
  25. skillet
    i like the celica. good call on the onis though, i have them on my 240sx, and my friend has them on his 7M-GTE cressida.
