Verify that the vacuum line running to the BOV is working first. If this is plugged, the BOV won't function, and you'll get flutter. With the car cold, pull off the small line from the BOV and blow into it. If you can't blow through it, chances are it's plugged with PCV gunk, and you'll need...

Yes, it's a CFX carbon hood.

Thanks for all the great comments, folks. I'm glad you enjoy this almost as much as I do! The things people do when putting stuff together is always good for a giggle. :) In my opinion, the wing adds to the car. I'm not entirely sure about the rear visor yet... let's say the jury is still out...

There is quite a bit of stuff to do, actually. - Interior - Headlights - 3 piece wing - Cruise control - Air conditioning - Stereo Plus there's some more little details to work out... upgrade the Vipec to the newest firmware and set up the extra safety features available in it, fix the door...

LOL - that's not me being modest, that's me being complimentary. I can't weld at all, none of that was done by me.

Calling the exhaust 'custom' is like calling Angelina Jolie 'kinda cute'. I don't know how many small pie cuts have been put into it all together, but it's hundreds, and each one hand welded by a true artist in the field.

Pictures of the actual car go here in a few minutes. Relax, have a drink, then come look. Ok, here they are:

Body and paint: Exhaust:

Ok, it's time to let this lady out into public again. The thread title comes from how my jealous wife refers to the Supra, in case you were wondering. The story: A friend of mine, Jeremy (or Turbo Drifter here) from the club originally owned this car. He, and a few of his friends, are...

I hate to ask the obvious, however, someone has to do it. Have you checked for codes?

I may have a blue dash for sale soonish...

From what I've seen of Cannonball's work, I'd go over the electrical connections for everything they added *very* carefully. I'd also look for screw holes in the dash, a-pillar, and roof. A compression check on that engine would be a damn fine idea, let you know whether that FCD has already...

Wow... holy thread resurrection, Batman. It depends on what the rest of your system is. If you have a turbo that can push more air without going too hot, then you should see a significant increase simply because you'll be able to run more boost before hitting detonation. However, if you've...

I should point out it has been 15 years since I closed that business. I expect pricing has changed a bit since then.

When I was running my consulting business, I charged out at $75 / hour, and had to turn away work sometimes.

You don't need the gauge. You still need the controller. The Innovate / Zeitronix units are available cheaper if you aren't buying the display, and everything else mounts behind the dash.

I'm looking for a set to put my projector retrofit in, and it looks as though they just plain aren't available in Canada. Probably due to some law... So then I start digging through eBay, and they are nice and cheap... a bunch are available for about $10! Then I check the shipping, and they...

The original same-side in and out intercooler was a Spearco unit, and replicas of that are simple to get these days. Pretty sure Aaron at Driftmotion carries them. IC pipes are likely going to be a custom job no matter what, I would suggest going through the stock air hole behind the passenger...

Damn, missed the T. It's a good thing there's other folks around to keep me honest.

Is your AFM plugged in?
