I forget what all you've done, so sorry for the repeat questions. 1. Have you tried a new CPS to try to fix code 12? 1a. alternatively, have you back-probed the ECU to troubleshoot everything? 2. Have you dropped the fuel tank to clean it and inspect the pump?

Awesome feedback, thanks! Thanks! So based on feedback from you lovely folks and some additional consideration on my part, here's my plan: 1a. Steering Wheel: Black Alcantara with black stitching 1b. No center stripe. 2. Interior: diamond stitch on alcantara for door inserts; alcantara...

This is the first result if you search google for "supra mania full flow oil". ;) That's probably the single best page on the internet to learn about 7M oiling. http://www.supramania.com/forums/threads/62838-Installing-a-Full-Flow-Thermostat-Controlled-Oil-Cooler-amp-Remote-Filter Read it...

For that build I'd consider keeping it as is. From a performance standpoint for racing or high horsepower, the stock system is pretty terrible. For a highway puller or reasonably normal driver, the stock system is fine, IMO. I ran the stock system for years, driving it hard over ~30k miles at...

I would ditch the pressure-based cooling system entirely before shimming it. It's a great, reliable system for power levels below ~350 whp, but problematic above that, IMO. Shimming it would allow more pressure in the engine before cooling any oil. This is good for oil pressure in the system...

Printing would be expensive for the real parts, but that's a perfect application for printing a mold for carbon fiber! That's the next venture I want to explore: Carbon Fiber parts made with printed molds.

Long overdue update: New Development: I'm making a modified hatch cable release bracket that connects the two halves of the hatch cable. In my two recent cars the cables have been stretched and the release either barely or didn't work. My revised block replaces the factory block with a similar...

I recorded the online stream from Barrett-Jackson, but it's incredibly uneventful. If I can get it on Youtube I'll share via a private link (don't want to tarnish my monetization status for public videos). The car was, of course, incredibly shiny and glossy. You could barely make out the...

Hammer down.... drum roll.... $44k. Owner lost $18k not selling it on Ebay. Ouch. Bidding went real fast and slowed around 37k. *Edit adjusted values based on some apparent post-block bidding.

Re: Mo Boost, Mo Power, Mo 7m : 87 Turbo Supra 7mGTE Full Rebuild + Manual Conver + M I just looked at pics of my 89 blue interior and it had a black knob and boot. My 91 blue interior has a black knob and boot. My guess is the color matched cars are all 86-88 model year. The google image...

Re: Mo Boost, Mo Power, Mo 7m : 87 Turbo Supra 7mGTE Full Rebuild + Manual Conver + M Gooooood call! Thanks for the correction. :)

I'm guessing $50k, but hoping I'm way low! I don't have Velocity or Discovery so I'll watch the live stream today to try an catch it. I'm curious what the announcers for the Velocity broadcast will have to say! If anyone records it and can upload it I'd be very grateful!

Re: Mo Boost, Mo Power, Mo 7m : 87 Turbo Supra 7mGTE Full Rebuild + Manual Conver + M As far as I know the knob is always black, but the boot was matched to the interior.

Re: Mo Boost, Mo Power, Mo 7m : 87 Turbo Supra 7mGTE Full Rebuild + Manual Conver + M Available new from Toyota Japan, as far as I know. I recently got a quote from these guys: JP-Carparts.com. It was right around $100 shipped. I wanted the TRD one, but may settle for a new OEM.

FWIW, I had a Denso reman starter that would not engage the flywheel fresh out of the box. I couldn't figure it out, ended up returning it. I never would have expected that from Denso, but it was a good lesson in "just because it's new, doesn't mean it works." I'm not saying yours is...

Re: Mo Boost, Mo Power, Mo 7m : 87 Turbo Supra 7mGTE Full Rebuild + Manual Conver + M So Many Pictures! Love it!

Haha, love the hate on the stitching. Makes me laugh. For the topic of appeal to client base, it's not necessarily a matter of anyone wanting to buy this particular 91. I won't divulge much more until I can make an announcement or can the idea altogether. I expect one of those two to happen in...

Radar, Totally valid question. It is absolutely a less durable material than leather. It's main benefit to me is the feel. I've only driven a couple alcantara wheel cars and only through parking lots, but the feel is very nice. I also believe it'd be more comfortable to grasp in the summer...

Here's an example of some alcantara mk3 work on a car from Europe. A few things I don't like that I would avoid: 1. Steering wheel center is covered. Ugly. Leave that as is. 2. Split wheel - alcantara and leather. I think it should be one or the other. 3. Door inserts look really plain...

Thanks Jay. Your interior has always stuck in my mind as one of the few that's been done "well", whether people agree with the details or not. To be clear, my intent wouldn't be to win any shows or anything (although that'd be neat, I guess). It's more for the sake of appealing to potential...
