    Supra For Sale - Bremerton - Anyone know it?

    Yeah I guess someone from Ft Lewis was buying it.. It was an 89 burgundy Targa, with a 91 motor, auto to 5spd swap... it was for $1200, interior looked good, otherwise sounded like it could have been a mess... hard to say, it was not really running at the moment... guess just needed to bleed...

    Weird Idle issue?

    Two thoughts come to mind: In regards to the ISCV valve, it is best to do the full test per the TRSM, in which you induce voltage in one sequence to open and opposite sequence to close, it is a stepper motor... If dirty it can get hung up and not be moving to it's next step when the ECU induces...

    starter removal tips?

    Yeah my thoughts exactly... I have never put in the newer style, but never thought the older (my 88) style was a big deal... Sure would not make any modifications to make it easier, but everyone has there pet peeves...

    Damn Vibration... Any suggestions appreciated!

    Yeah no worries, I figures as much... I know I would be... OK, I will try that, in fact I was thinking I should clarify, that if they did not have to be off by 90 deg what happens when both and front sections line up... who knows maybe nothing, maybe something... pulling a tranny out of a civic...

    Ok just double checking :-) Yeah I have had it out 3 times in the last 2 weeks, 1st time had shop replace carrier and rear uni then balance, felt horrible, so returned it, they re-balance at higher rpm, felt better but not good, then had them re-tube rear section and balance, felt much better...

    OK, gotcha, yeah not finding anything that has enough play to make a difference... So just clarifying... as the term is often crossed... When you say drive shaft, you are referring to the actual drive-axle (diff - to wheel) right or are you referring to drive-line/propeller shaft? If the drive...

    Done today... So here is my findings, also checked lash closer... see below: Nothing left to right or on the 45 degree, so I also used bar to leverage bar between concrete floor and tire to find any up and down movement, had helper leverage while I inspected below, no visible movement, when I...

    Turbonetics/Performance Techniques in CA.

    momoney88 - yeah I have been really happy with my 57-trim, it was done by Aaron @ Driftmotion... I think all in all, it was $550 with no options of coating... DM is a firm believer in that the CT26 should not be modified to anything larger than 57 for long term reliability (which I tend to...

    NW Section so lame on SM

    I watch the NW section all the time for any events etc... but I am not a long time supra owner... just coming on to two years, so I am not familiar with all of the events that take place in the area, so I am not to the point where I would be in a position to be lead on an event or organize...

    Simple Ebay parts, would you put it on your car?

    Amen to that! There seems to be a high rate of unemployed college educated lazy people... You can spend 4 years in an apprenticeship program in numerous fields and have an income of 50k a year, yet the average 4 year degree gets you started at 30k hhmm, plus you made an income for the four years...

    Simple Ebay parts, would you put it on your car?

    Yes I agree with you, that it is the consumer that drives the market, my only point is that I think Walt would have seen the business go under before he stocked the shelves full of china made items, as his whole focus was American made items. I am in no way blaming Walmart, it is for sure the...

    Damn Vibration... Any suggestions appreciated!

    Thanks for clarification, I did not see anyway that the front was anything but solid... but makes sense with your explanation. One other question and looking at your shaft, I am making an assumption... but we all know what that does... I know the UNI are too all line up, but I am assuming...

    Update - Had rubber section removed and new tube welded in and re-balanced... took it for short test drive, but was foggy... felt good so far (crossing fingers) headed to a job site about 3 hrs away in the morning... guess I will know if it is all gone by the end of that ride... Thanks again...

    Turbo Brace question

    yeah for sure... it is a sad sad situation... probably better just to go without them... after-all who needs braces, brackets, EGR valves, pcv systems, fuel dampeners... I think Mr Toyoda just wanted to make it look more complicated so that he could sell it for more money:icon_bigg
