soooooooo I get blasted for just trying to talk with my friends. then i get blasted for trying to help solve a problem. GFY. you bitched at me for being on a tech forum and not talking about tech. I know 911 knows what he's doing, but even the smartest people can overlook the simplest problems. I'm trying to get enough information so that maybe something i've already dealt with can make his trouble shooting process easier.

Couldn't agree with you more, but there will always be that soft spot in my heart for the Mark IV

Nick,

I'm with Ben, get the RX7. Supra's are sweet, but they look like a fat chick, FDs are just sexy. LOL.

The rears do look fat, but they still look sick IMO. I will say that I do like the dash and interior better of the FD's though over the interior and dash appearance of a MKIV.

I think it has to do with your SD tune. The only ones I have seen go successful are those guys with the 93 SD F-bodies, or guys maxing out their MAF (usually from boosted cars). Even then I personally think the MAF tune is better.



Shawn is correct. Fuel pressure is checking out fine. Even though there has been a thread of bad Walbro's going around, it doesn't look like the Formula's problem is coming from that. Still trying to figure things out at this point

I definatly like them. Its more that I like the appearance of the dash and gauges of the FD RX-7's better. Both are sweet though. I like the Supra dash and guages a lot better than the F-body's. I like Vette's gauges and dash better than F-bodys as well for that matter.

I like the MKIV just fine as well, I just never quite found it as sleek as the FD; the Supra is just more of a giant medieval sword to me, while the FD is a slick katana. Neither is better than the other, just, different. Of course if the FD and MKIV are swords, the Skyline is a high-tech ray gun, and I like shiny buttons and lights...

Man, I need some sleep, that might be the worst analogy I've ever seen...

Epic... Absolutely epic lol.


The Mark IV Supra, R34 GT-R Skyline, and the FD RX7 are all VERY sleek, cutting edge, mean looking, asphalt shredding machines, and were ground breaking for their times. The fact that they are quite rare and respond amazingly well to just "bolt ons", fuel upgrades, and a retune, just adds to their allure and "super car" status and are all iconic symbols in the automotive world. They all have their pro's and con's astheticly and mechanically. I love the Supra's motor, 6 speed Gertrag trans, front end, targa top, wing, and wrap around console. I love the over-all sleekness, and rounded corners that blend so well on the FD's, plus the looks of the rear end (lol), it's over-all 2 seater interior especially the individual gauges that make up the gauge cluster. The Skyline has that iconic front bumper (R34), with a wide central opening that begs to be filled with a FMIC, along with the 4 smaller "vent" openings in the corners of the bumper, it's "corvette" style tail lights, and it's AWD lay out...

I just don't see the sway bar/endlink, everything else seems ok but I could be blind.

I don't see a pin in the castle nut, and no swaybar.

Nick, it's the crack, but only partially, F-Bodies have their struts connected all funny-like.
