    StupraThief....car thief steals MKIII and gets busted by bragging about it

    As I've said before, there's no required IQ to be a criminal.

    Snow plus Supra equals a very slow drive home

    Bah. I drive mine in snow without any problems. Regular winter tires, no studs. As long as I don't go over a couple pounds of boost I've got plenty of grip. As long as you have the right equipment, it's all about seat time.

    Am I the only one who thinks that electric fans are a downgrade?

    Using an unsealed relay like that in the engine bay will result in this: Unless, of course, you don't drive in the rain.

    question about value of a original supra bra.

    No idea... I never installed mine. Or read the instructions, for that matter, just sent it all to the buyer.

    Integration Relay #2 pic?

    For anyone who was following along, the relay was fine. The actual problem was the suspension, specifically the coilovers. Seems unconnected, right? Well, coilover suspension allows the car to be lowered far enough that on hard bumps, the front left tire can contact the wiring harness running...

    Am I the only one who thinks that electric fans are a downgrade?

    Even my Spal fans died... the only real advantage to e-fans is the space issue. 1/2J swap + PWR radiator = no room for clutch fan. :(

    Integration Relay #2 pic?

    Thanks dude. I'm going to test the thing this weekend, then I'll know if I'm chasing wiring gremlins or replacing this.

    Integration Relay #2 pic?

    Well, I'm bigger than you, but I suspect that's the case for most of the guys here. And some of the girls. ;) My biggest issue isn't size, it's age... once upon a time I could work on my back on an uneven surface for all day when required, but those days are long gone. Now I get sore just...

    will a MBC help keep boost down in cold weather?

    No. Boost controllers cannot lower your boost, only increase it. As pointed out above, you're going to need to get something to retune around the fuel cut.

    Integration Relay #2 pic?

    Well, on the one hand, you rock, and I really appreciate the pic. On the other hand, how the hell did you get a picture of that without putting a window in the floor???

    Integration Relay #2 pic?

    Anyone happen to have a pic of what the Integration Relay #2 looks like, and possibly where / how it mounts? I suspect there is a problem with mine, and I'm not looking forward to the contortionist madness required to get to it. At least there's no cage in my car... Here's where it is in...

    Problem with vibration

    Lock washers go on the nut side. And I use locktite.

    ABS Delete

    Correct. However, non-abs versions of the Supra do exist, and were sold over here.

    glove box question....

    Just FYI, these would not be difficult to fab. Any decent car stereo shop that's capable of building custom speaker pods could put one of these together in any configuration you want - just tell them what you want to mount and give them your original glovebox to model initially. You wouldn't...

    She's Possessed! Will not idle more than minute; loses vacuum, runs w/o key in ign!

    Pulling the battery cable shouldn't kill the car, either, as the alternator should make more than enough power to run it. Unless your alternator is also dead. I can't conceive of a way for power to make it to the engine from the alternator without also getting it from the battery. To test the...

    Replacement coolent & vacumm lines.

    No kit available from Toyota. If you call one of the parts departments - like Mark at Vancouver Toyota in Washington - they can put together the individual parts for you, of course. You're correct about the vacuum lines - even from Toyota it's just measure and cut. :)

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    Time for a 'vacation' to California. Pick up some of the hard hitters from the SoCal Supras crew, some pliers and a blowtorch, and go visiting. In all seriousness, you might be able to get some free followup from the SoCal crew.

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    How do you fund your Paypal? If it's through a credit card, call and talk to your card company... often they'll have a way of reclaiming the funds. Might make PP upset with you, but for that kind of coin you can start a new PP account.
