    TTA stuff; MAF Translator, Billet AFPR, TTA Breathers, ECU, Coilpack, Turbo Shield

    Well, my TTA has been gone over a year now and I've decided to part with my parts stash. All of these parts were used for no more than 2400 miles (bought the car with 2200, and sold with 4600) and are in near-new, excellent shape. Prices include shipping via USPS Priority but no...

    Smogged my TTA today... barely!

    Well, I just took my TTA down to get smogged. The car was completely back to stock save for the fuel pump hotwire. Keep in mind all this stuff and the car has only 4500 miles so it's pretty much brand new. I drove it pretty hard on the way over to get it good and hot. It was a friend's shop...

    Good reasonably priced solenoid?

    I just tried my DIY 2-stage water injection system, and on my first test the second stage solenoid blew up. :mad: The solenoids I purchased from McMaster and were rated for 100psi. The first solenoid is OK (since it's open as soon as the pump is on) but the second stage blew up when testing...

    Good filter for DIY water/alchy injection?

    Has anyone found a good filter for a water/alchy injection system? I was going to use a small clear nylon filter I had but the end caps of the internal element were steel and rusted after I "tested" it a few days in a cup of water. Carroll Supercharging makes a nice filter (seen it on a...

    Killed an RX7

    So I'm coming home from dinner, sitting at a stoplight, and the car next to me (a 2nd gen RX7) starts poking the throttle. I look over, and see he's not looking at me, but the guy next to him in the 3rd lane driving a 70's 240Z. I look ahead, one car stopped at the next light, nothing else in...

    Don't know what this says about Bruce...

    Hilarous street name near Bruce's new shop. So I'm heading up to Bruce's shop today to pick up a new TCC solenoid, and about 2 miles from his shop I pass a street. Not just any street. The name makes me do a double take. I could NOT believe what I just saw! So I pulled a u-turn, and sure...

    Is the TTA cat converter the same as a GN?

    As the subject says. Is the TTA catalytic converter identical to the GN one? Thanks.

    Considering selling my TTA. Would like opinions.

    Yes, I'm considering selling my TTA. No, I'm not crazy. Hear me out. I'm the type of guy that loves to work on, modify, and drive a car. My car is the rarest of the rare, and with only 3500 miles on it, is a time capsule. And that right there is my problem. I want to modify the car to a...

    Fit of repro coolant overflow insulator from John's

    Does anyone else out there have the reproduction coolant overflow bottle insulator from John's Performance? I finally got around to putting mine on tonight and the fit is real sloppy around the cap on top-- the hole in the insulator is almost 1/2" too big in diameter, way looser than the pic on...

    Any way to have the ECM work *both* cooling fans?

    Question is as the topic... I'm flipping through my wiring diagram trying to find the best way to do this. To the best of my knowledge, the ECM controls the driver's side fan, and the passenger side fan is controlled by both the CTS (on at 208 degrees) and by the A/C relay (PS fan is on when A/C...

    A warning for the California people, and where to get a cheap cat?

    I'm looking to get a THDP soon, and I was going to just run a test pipe, but I'm here in California, and I read a rather scary article in my local paper this week where about a dozen cars (mostly ricers) were confiscated for federal emissions tampering when they had to go through a roadside smog...

    Just finished my rear main, here's some pointers.

    I just finished doing the rear main on my car, and I have some pointers for those of you who haven't done it yet. It might save you some grief/damage. You must disconnect/move: 1. The fuel hoses. They aren't long enough when you jack the motor up. Depressurize the system at the test port...

    Last minute sanity check about my rear main.

    I need advice quickly, as I'm probably going to dive into this job early tomorrow afternoon. I thought the rear main on my TTA was bad (after parking my car in the driveway for literally 5 minutes, it will leave a 6" puddle of oil) Symptoms: Oil streaks on tranny pan Drips from...

    One last check before I change the rear main.

    Ok guys, after parking my car in the driveway for literally 5 minutes tonight, it left a 6" puddle of oil! I'm pretty sure it's the rear main, but before I do the job, let me run the symptoms by you: Oil streaks on tranny pan Drips from inspection cover Starter is soaked Crossover pipe is...

    To subrame or not to subframe my TTA?

    Ok guys... my GW subframes are still sitting on the floor of my garage, mostly because my welder friend hasn't had the time. Meanwhile, I've been thinking, and I don't know if I really want to put them on or not. If I had a t-top car, I'd put them on in a heartbeat. However, I have a hardtop...

    Rear hatch pulldown motor/gearbox... what a POS!

    Driving down the road today in 105 degree heat (boy, does this car HATE hot weather, it had to be down at least 50hp!), I hit a very small bump in the road, hear a muted pop, then I notice some wind noise, look back, and see the rear hatch is sitting open about 2". Crap! I go home, yank the...

    Good and bad today... need advice!

    Well, today was a good but mostly bad day for my TTA. The Good: My RJC Powerplate arrived. With no other changes, I went from an average of 1 to 1.4 degrees of KR to 0, so in turn I upped the boost another 1/2 pound and am still at 0.0 KR. The Bad: The tapped hole in the manifold for the...

    Questions for the people running solid MAF pipes.

    I have a question for you guys running solid MAF pipes. I’m thinking about getting one for my car so I can remove the stock plastic elbow and silicone accordion tube, but I have a concern about vibration. With a solid MAF pipe, what takes up engine vibration and movement and prevents the MAF and...
