    Vpc set up

    Use the VPC gain knob and the S-AFC to lean it out.

    Went to the junkyard and found this...

    3E5 paint? If so I'd be interested in the targa to match my 3E5 car as a spare. I have a white w/burgandy interior one now that I'd put up for sale if anyone else is looking for a targa. Also may be interested in the front turns, f/r side markers, and rear tail lights assuming no cracks...

    My stupidity on display for everyone to see.

    Engine failure: it's not running. ;-)

    For my fellow geeks....

    7 vm's is not a lot. While you may not have the vm operating systems suspended, the hypervisor is inserting wait states in to the vm process based on vm cpu load. VM ram is paged out, etc. I have a rack full of older DL380's (2.6Ghz quad cores), each hosting 20-30 vm's at any given time.

    Cigars and Scotch

    Reviving this thread. Eagle rare barrel 11, low ball, neat but chilled in the freezer for a few minutes Never got in to bourbons until a friend of mine with connections got me to try the better stuff.

    Disc freeze plug under the timing cover.

    I've had two Doorman plugs blow out completely and several more that moved. You did the right thing replacing them with Toyota plugs. It's worth wasting $ on them when the motor is outside of the car. It's a total bitch in the car.

    JZ coils and standalone EMS's

    .032, 18-25psi, same plugs for almost 2 yrs now. 7M-GTE stock ignition ;-)

    Ignitor temperature

    Already have. I'm doublechecking. Every device has thermal limits that are directly related to how much energy is flowing through it or how fast it is switching. We do not have the device ratings (that I know of, it's a proprietary Toyota device AFAIK) so temperature comparisons are another way.

    JZ coils and standalone EMS's

    You're adding insulation is all - more resistance for the charge to overcome to jump to nearby ground.

    my ipod mount and autodim rearview

    I hate windshield mounts, and it seems anything other than a factory install eventually falls off. :-) Probably mostly due to installation error, I've never actually tried to glue one on myself.

    Ignitor temperature

    Not looking for MTTF. I'm comparing with my ignitor and aftermarket ECU to determine if it's being overdriven.

    my ipod mount and autodim rearview

    You will love it. You can get compass, temperature, and homelink (garage door opener) built in. The ideal for me would be all of the above that bolts on with no mods or something I can make a bracket to bolt in the stock location.

    JZ coils and standalone EMS's

    That is mainly because most standalone ECU's do not have enough coil drivers and must run them in wastespark, doubling the duty and reducing charge dwell and cycle by half. All of the latest ECU's that do have 6+ coil drivers are doing well including AEM EMS v2, ProEFI, and Motec.

    my ipod mount and autodim rearview

    Brian Aust (Supra92) put a Gentex mirror out of a Lexus on his 92T over a decade ago. He bragged about it often but I never understood why until I bought my GM truck then got stuck out at night in the Supra. He still doesn't have autodimming side mirrors though. Somebody needs to find ones...

    my ipod mount and autodim rearview

    They're made by Gentex. They're quite popular nowadays. My GM truck has autodimming rearview and sideview mirrors. One day I'll get around to putting one on the Supra but it's not often I drive it at night.

    oem valve spring compressor

    That's not what I'm talking about. Mine has two brackets that bolt in place of the cam bearing caps, a long rod, and a lever/handle assembly that fits over the retainer and in to the shim bore. It's $175 IIRC.

    Infected with MGSS

    The '85 I just bought will be my sixth Supra.

    Infected with MGSS

    Hah, I tried to clear up a case of MSS that worsened in to MGSS. Managed to clear it for about 8 yrs but have had a relapse of MGSS since last Friday.

    Ignitor temperature

    That is considerably cooler than what I'm reading on my car. How long is your drive to work and what was the approx. ambient temp? After a 31 min drive, the last 8 on 25mph city roads with several stop lights: peak 183F about 1/4" in at the wire end in the middle and 169F at the other end...
