    JDM throttle body set up for 7m-gte from supracarparts.com

    Heh, somewhere. I haven't ran that setup in a long time, not to mention that I swapped to a FFIM and pulled the car off the road about five years ago. If you search my posts you might be able to find it. I'll do some poking around for pics, but I don't have long to look right now. Edit: from...

    High Compression N/A Pistons

    Do you have any dyno sheets? I'm curious what a 10.5:1 CR 7M will put to the ground.

    The absolute worst looking MK3, ever?

    Poor MKIII. :( LOL at people thinking it's actually an MKIV. Look at the interior, it's definitely a MKIII.

    What was the very first car you ever owned?

    1971 Chevrolet c-10 Stepside. I still regret selling that truck, although it needed a ton of work. Bought it for $300 when I was 15, put it back together (the P.O. had it all taken apart) using a Haynes manual for a guide and a basic Craftsman tool set. Sold it only a few years ago because it...

    Too much for a GE?

    It will hold just fine, so long as you have a proper tune. It'll also be a monster at low RPM, which is one of the benefits of a higher compression turbo car. :) Tuning is key. Screw up the tune, and you'll melt it down in no time.

    JDM throttle body set up for 7m-gte from supracarparts.com

    The throttle feel with all that extra linkage gone is much better, so long as you set it up properly.

    runs rough, code 24 and 52

    The code 24 is most definitely due to the wiring at your MAFt unit. Double check everything there to verify that it is set up properly. The "Subaru" sound you hear is due to the code 52. When code 52 is set, it will retard the timing a max of 10°, which will make the car sound terrible, and...

    Ordered a New Daily Driver (2011 IS250 6MT)

    I will gladly hug it upon it's arrival. Hope you sprayed your cologne on it!

    runs rough, code 24 and 52

    For future reference, check the TSRM for what the error codes mean, it will make finding the actual problem a breeze: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx We will start with the code 24. The intake air temperature sensor is in the AFM. Check the connection at the...

    JDM throttle body set up for 7m-gte from supracarparts.com

    Why buy anything? I used a JDM TB on my car for several years with nearly no modifications, stock bellcrank and all. You don't need a pretty, shiny blue wheel to make it work, just a N/A throttle cable.

    Ordered a New Daily Driver (2011 IS250 6MT)

    Well that's a load of poop! Congrats, Jeff, the car looks absolutely fantastic! Edit: You are 2,437 miles from me. I suppose I'll take a rain check, or an e-hug.

    Who Doesnt Need New Tires?

    The original Falken Azenis 615 gets greasy as it gets hot. Still a fun tire, can get scary in rain though. The new version should be pretty badass from what I hear. And although they're not available in 275's for a 17" rim, consider Dunlop Direzza z1 Star Specs. I've got them on my M3 (255's...

    Amsoil Bypass Filter Install

    Not the route I'd have taken, but I suppose it does the job. I try to steer clear of all fittings with sharp 90° bends. Smooth radius bends are what you want.

    Venting About Paypal

    I'm opening a new bank acct with only a little bit of money in it specifically for use with PayPal. I don't feel comfortable keeping my main bank account linked to my PP account, so I recently removed it.

    Just these cars.

    Thick skin required for use of internet. Who cares what others say? It's just an opinion dude, don't get all bent out of shape. If you keep the car, restore it properly.

    Fail. LOL. MKIII with MKIV Font sucks the big one.

    89 toy truck, Rolling truck down hills are fun

    Nice. I'm more of a "pick a good path" than "smash the truck 'til it gets up" type of driver anyway. I don't think I have a need for 4.7 gears so I was also considering dual stockers. I almost had an extra t-case for $30 a few days ago but the deal fell through. I'm still on 4:10 gears, which is...
