    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Got bored so I fixed the light up keyhole on the door. The LED seems to have died from rust over the years and I took it out and soldered in a superwhite 12v LED.

    1GZ-FE - My new project motor!

    I'd love to hear one of these built up in NA form. 15:1 CR (run E85), custom cams (maybe JZ cams could fit?), head work, ITBs, and some well designed tubular manifolds. I'd bet 450whp could be attainable pretty easily, if not 500whp. I'm not sure what the stock rev limit is, or what the...

    DWY (driving while young) should I tint?

    I'm not sure if you've ever driven a car with dark tint before... but making sharp turns at night sucks, you can't see shit out the side windows. So before you tint yours maybe see if a friend with tint will let you take their car for a spin at night through a city/town so you can see if you...

    Oil pressure sender connector

    You can get one from almost any early 90's mitsubishi that has an oil pressure gauge, in addition to all the toyotas that had them back them (trucks included). They all used Nippon Denso oil pressure senders (well, all that I have seen). The sensor itself from another car won't work though, they...

    1JZ motorcycle...

    I just can't see making a turn with this. That front tire is going to have a hard time fighting the forward momentum of 700 pounds of toyota's finest. For that matter... that poor, poor front brake rotor.

    A/F ratio tuning

    Someone should make a gauge that can be hooked up to display vF voltage all the time... I bet you could mod one of those cheap O2 sensor gauges to read a 0-5V scale and display vF as "lean-rich". That would be nice for tuning. Oh and since the OP seems to be tuning an Apexi SAFC (based on his...

    Anyone going to the Carlisle P&S show this year?

    It's May 12th & 13th. This used to be a huge show with 3000+ cars, but last time I went in 08' it was down to about 750 cars (still fun though). Anyone here go last year? I'm debating taking my car down this year to put in non-judged, I just wasn't sure if it was still a decent show or if it was...

    a340e from a lexus 1uz?

    If you need an automatic for a 7MGTE supra I have one you can have for free. It's been sitting at my shop since I pulled it from my car 2 years ago. It's from an 87' GTE with 96,000 miles. I was told it works by the PO, but I never drove it on the street cause the 7M it was attached to was...

    Istrument cluster help?

    The gauge has a heat sensitive plate and a coil of wire that heats it to move the needle. It was never designed to be completely grounded (hence the 3.4V bulb test) and doing that for more than a second or two will heat the gauge internals up so much that the pin that slides in a little plastic...

    Keyless push button start?

    The name it comes up under most is "passive keyless entry" if you're searcing ebay or whatever. It's a system like the new cadillacs/bmw/audi come with where the car unlocks and recognizes your remote when you walk up to it (no button press required) and then you get in and just hit a start...

    Will this fit???

    Not to be a dream crusher, but I can guarantee you that since it's on ebay and it's $21 it's not a real TRD part. There are plenty of TRD things that TRD never made on ebay.

    WTH Forest Green 87 MA70L ???

    The jade green really gives the car a unique look. I'd love to paint mine that color, but it would look weird with a blue interior. Cursed blue interior...

    Never thought the day would come :(

    Always hate to see someones work destroyed by someone else's careless driving. Hope whatever you do to rebuild works out well, and I hope they pull her license before she kills someone driving like that.

    1JZ motorcycle...

    Someone just posted this up on facebook, I don't know anything about it, just thought I'd share it. If this is a repost, delete it (i did search first and didn't see it though).

    Rear suspension noise + jumps/skips over bumps

    It's not just struts that have springs under preload, shocks with springs on them do too. Not all of them, but most of them. You'll need that spring compressor.

    What are the limits?

    Without a LSD you will spin one tire 99% of the time. You can't do donuts unless two are spinning, nor can you really drift (you can slide, but you can't drift). A healthy non turbo motor can spin the tires just fine for messing around in a parking lot. You can launch in whatever gear you want...
