    ^^^ It's the long old wiring system that's always the issue, not so much the relay itself. Run a dedicated new (fused) power wire to the new relay in the engine bay, and another new wire directly to the ignition key to trigger that relay.

    The Supra community is always willing to lend a hand! 9 times out of 10, the starting problem in a Mk3 can be fixed with the starter relay bypass mod. It solved mine.

    Oil pressure issues when motor is warm only.

    Mine does this as well. I think it is the gauge or sender unit. Every once in a while the pressure will seem normal out of the blue, but most of the time it works when cold, but falls flat when hot.

    What my Supra ownership has cost me over the past 3 years

    Power vs G-force graph?

    I've been wondering, how does horsepower and torque relate to actual g-force felt from the seat of a car? Is there a graph out there that shows the comparison? I.e. what has more "pushed back into the seat feeling"? 500tq at 4000rpm, or 600hp at 7000 rpm for example?

    Polyurethane subframe bushings for the MA70 Supra

    How are you guys finding the diff noise with these? The diff noise is driving me nuts, even with a tight rebuilt diff. Not sure if I need to put in a brand new ring and pinion to get rid of the noise, or switch back to softer bushings. It's a steady tone as the diff vibrations are amplified by...

    daily drivable 350whp max instant boost

    My 57 trim needed 15psi to make 350hp on pump gas. A smaller turbo may have trouble reaching that hp without higher boost, I might guess.

    Nice to finally get a sample view of the final result! Looks pretty cool. It reminds me a lot of mine when it was at this stage.
