    Toyota of N. America forces Toyo-DIY to.......

    And in the case of the TSRM, it's available in a PDF that's much higher quality than the Cygnus version. Someone needs to do the same with the EPC, too. I suppose that means I should get off my lazy ass and do it. :D

    Duane is 110% correct. I've driven from Canada to Las Vegas and back, through the mountains here in summer and winter, to and from California, north to Alaska, and everywhere in between. It's been in rain, snow, through bugs so thick they looked like falling leaves in a windstorm (Duane should...

    Not according to my wife! My car competes with the wife for time, attention, and $$$, which invokes the occasional jealous rage, and there's no way she's going to be jealous of a male anything. I try to stay off the roads when it snows, but this *will* be my only vehicle. I've never believed...

    Toyota of N. America forces Toyo-DIY to.......

    I carry it on the thumbdrive in my pocket all the time. Send *me* a letter, Toyota. I dare ya.

    It's the AP BBK, I'm pretty sure it'll fit under Mk4 rims because I'm pretty certain Duane used to have the same setup. The interior trips are usually a weekend... half a day to drive up, usually Friday night, spend all day Saturday there and leave in the afternoon on Sunday. Unless it's a...

    Absolutely. I'm considering finding a set of Mk4 wheels to put them on instead of sawblades, though, in the hopes that they'll clear the BBK.

    Can't hurt to check. I've driven this to work a couple days now, and I think I get happier each time I sit in it. lol - no way, if Toyota had put it in there, you'd see a lot more misc nonsense littering the engine bay! Another turbo, first of all... :D

    nelson bc?

    Pretty much everything. Surrey is a suburb of Vancouver, part of the lower mainland. Biggest city west of Toronto, with all the things you'd expect, and better Japanese food. Nelson is a small town - under 10k population. It's all of about 2.5 km long, and about half that wide - you can walk...

    ahhhhh!!!!! why am i still hitting fuel cut?

    I suspect he's asking where you mounted the sensor for the aftermarket boost gauge. Or where you plumbed it if you are using a mechanical gauge. Edit: Beat by jdub again... story of my life.

    Questions on the two vsv's under the intake

    Well, in a roundabout kind of way. The increased fuel pressure purges the fuel rail, sending any fuel that's heat soaked back to the tank faster than it would otherwise.

    ATI Damper Mystery

    Correct. Which is why Duane is running one that is much larger than stock.

    nelson bc?

    Why Nelson, specifically? I grew up there... haven't been back in many years now, not since 1980. Work has been tough to find since the mill shut down, what's left of the place runs on tourism now I hear. Nice skiing... and nice mountain biking in the summer.

    ATI Damper Mystery

    Well, and Toyota, of course. But the ATI one is nicer AND cheaper.

    Living in a cul-de-sac

    I live in one of these. We've had an occasional problem, but nothing serious. There's this old retired guy who lives at the end of the street who notices and records *everything*. We're reasonably certain he used to work for some sort of intelligence agency, but he won't say - which is a...

    Well, at least you haven't abandoned us entirely! I'll point out to the rest of the crew that before I bought it, I spent hours on the phone and on IM trying to convince you to keep it. I thought I'd succeeded, too, for what, about 3 months? Failing that, I made sure it went to a good home...

    I'll be there. :) Hey, I raced the other car last summer. You even took video of it, with my camera no less! I'll race this one, too... why not? :) It runs *better* than it looks. Never you mind how much I paid for it. Now that I own it, you can have it for a measly $50k. Until I finish up...

    Evidently, you were in California, while I was writing a check for his Supra. :D

    Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone. Yes, I'm pretty happy with it. And I haven't driven it much yet - it's just going to get better as I get more wheel time. The power level is pretty much ridiculous - it's below freezing up here at the moment, and even with dry pavement, it just...

    So, this opportunity came up, and for some insane reason I couldn't pass it up. As of this morning, I'm currently the owner of 2 Mk3 Supras. I'd post the mod list on the new one, but it's longer than my other one, and I'm missing my afternoon nap to keep all you in the loop. So for now, I'll...
