The GXL Project is declaired a sucsess. Not only does it run, but it runs WELL

Sean's Supra is getting a main bearing job, nothing complex.

Molotovman: Congrats! Drive safe now

BigPimpin': Cool, welcome abord.

for clarification.....prob with my supra is that it ATE the main bearing on piston #5. BUT due to the fact that that also opened the oil outlet port in that connection (SUPER oil lube saturation) AND that i barely drove it far in that condition, all the mechanicals are still in excelent condition (bearing did exactly what it was designed to do.

so im going full at it tomorrow and maybe saturday BUT my car should be fully running again by monday.

i def have to give some mega props to the K&N oil filter i got....it absorbed like 99.5% of the disintegrated bearing (rest was in the sludge at bottom of oil pan under the baffle) and still flowed filtered oil. needless to say im putting a new oil filter on now also.

im upgrading to a TURBO oil filter now (im not joking) i lost a bolt thats in the side of my oilpan designed for return feed from oil cooler on the turbo supra...and i'm eventually gonna put one on anyway..so im gonna set up the oil filter and plug the return oil feeder i DO have into the hole in il pan.....just gonna look weird with a hose running from my oil filter right back into my oil pan.

You should run the hose pedistal into the dashbord and put a mechanical oil pressure gauge in there. Just like the old muscule cars! Whenever they go bad, they drop oil on your lap YAY!

I say we just keep drilling holes in your oil pan untill your engine stops breaking.

I'm pretty sure you can, I don't see why not... and I would ask noel (Rousuke91t) about the zip ties, he seems to be the expert one that

are you serious??? i guess...

1. take ziptie in hand
2. feed ziptie through the objects you want "ziptied"
3. take tapered end of ziptie and feed it through locking box of ziptie
4. pull until the objects are securely fastened together
5. optionally, take scissors or a wire cutter and cut excess ziptie for that clean look

WARNINGS...
a. zipties have limited strength. for more holding power, use double or triple the ziptie amount needed
b. zipties on automotive projects may adversely increase horsepower
c. if too much power is created through the use of zipties, feel free to use our sister product DuctTape(tm) to reduce the increase of power
d. remember to always use safety equipment when using zipties
e. zipties may inadvertly make your auto drift better in some conditions


=P


hope that helps you out puahahhahaha.

people just use zip ties so they can take off their bumbers really easy so they don't mess them up while they are drifting if you don't drift very often or have a stock bumper you should just used regular bolts

if you're interested in learning the mechanics of drifting, i'd probably talk to the LookOut Drift crew. They're in MD - whitemarsh area i believe. There's a shop called MA-Motorsports.

most drift events (legit ones) are done in parking lots away from everything. there's 100% no way you're going to hit anything. if you do manage to hit something besides cones, you should not drive a rwd car - it's that simple. i'd say the most parts replaced are probably rear fenders (we don't have any so we're screwed) and the rear bumper.

they've seen my car. they're a pretty excited bunch since it's a car that's NOT a 240.
