    r154 top gear speeds?

    wtf? Supralover, was your car originally an auto? or W58? EDIT: I see this was answered in the original post. IIRC the autos had either a 4.1 or a 4.3. This could explain it.

    turbo diesel help!

    I'm surprised it started right up for you. When its that cold, they do not want to start if you forgot to plug them in.

    Any way around this? (Removing Motor)

    Yeah but they're only $30-40 If its stuck on the torch will get it off. Like I said he should be prepared to replace them. Besides they're 20+years old, not a terrible idea to replace them anyways.

    Best advice I can give you is don't listen to those guys.

    Any way around this? (Removing Motor)

    Use a 6 pt socket not a 12 pt, let it soak with penetrating oil over night, then heat it with a torch before attempting to remove it. I just did this to get rusty lugs off a truck. Even w/ my 275lb ass standing on the lug wrench it wouldnt break free. Hit it with some heat, get it cherry red...

    a/c vs. take the top off

    If a pump is all you need definitely fix it. Targa is great in the spring/fall tho.

    Supra falls on its face when floored.

    You owe drake a big thank you for finding all those links and explaining them. I would also add to the EGR comment, that when EGR is in use, your computer reduces the fuel injected accordingly. Since your computer thinks it is still there, it reduces fuel when it would normally be using the...

    Supra falls on its face when floored.

    Ditching fuel cut and your EGR system are both terrible ideas.

    Anyone go 7m in an mk4??

    How about the 5.7 out of the new tundra mated to a getrag trans. Would def consider trying to do this, when the engines become more readily available and my wallet is a lot thicker.

    biggest fail ever

    This reminds me of a guy a Benny's (discount department store) who thought it was a good idea to take the radiator cap off his BMW when it was hot. He got fuckin sprayed hardcore. As for the dumbass flushing water through his engine, epic fail doesn't even begin to describe it. Cataclysmic...

    Worst driving conditions

    Yeah I've been in some pretty wild snowstorms myself. You cant see more than 10-20 ft ahead of you, and your wipers pack snow at the bottom of your windshield until they stop working because they cant go all the way down anymore. This is more of an off-topic thread btw.
