    Cooleeze IC Pipes - T Clamps Question

    I'm purchasing a set of cooleeze IC pipes from someone on this board, and I want to order some T clamps from suprasport, as that is what I found is recommended from searching here. How many do I need, and of what sizes? I'm running stock intercooler right now, but do plan on getting a spearco...

    Holy Restrictive Stock Exhaust!!!

    Feeling is definitely believing. To think, back in early July my MKIII was bone stock, aside from the HG. The car had a bit of kick while in boost, but was still dog slow. Now with intake, and 3" turbo back, the car finally feels like I imagined it would. Spools quick, pulls hard, and puts...

    Holy Restrictive Stock Exhaust!!!

    Just got the HKS Sport Turbo twin tip exhaust installed, and I didn't lose a bit of ooomph compared to running the open DDP! Pulls well past the 8psi mark on the stock gauge. Just about as quiet as stock too. Perfect. Ben

    Profec B2 Install Writeup?

    Anyone willing to offer a full writeup of an install for the Profec B2 EBC? I did a search and didn't find sufficient info. I feel I can tackle this, but have no idea where to start when it comes to electronics, tapping into wires, routing things through the firewall, etc. If no one is...

    Holy Restrictive Stock Exhaust!!!

    I had a chance to run my car with an open recirc DDP, and I now realize how restrictive the stock exhaust has been on my car. Unbelievable. With my mods (apexi intake, recirc DDP, test pipe), I've never seen the stock boost gauge get close to the 8lbs mark. Well, I had to do some diff work...

    Anyone have input on the bolt idea?

    Got the Diff in, but...

    Couldn't a bolt do the same job? Does anyone know specs of a bolt that would work there? Length, thread specs, etc? I don't want to half-ass it, but I also don't want to have to drop the diff again. And it seems logical that a bolt would do an equal job of holding the diff in, right...

    Got the Diff in, but...

    I finally got the diff installed, but realized once I got it in that it didn't have the rear top two studs in it to mount the nuts to. For now there is nothing there. Can I use two bolts instead, since the diff is threaded? Is it safe to drive for the time being without those? I have to...

    Help Removing Diff!

    I can't get the diff to drop out after removing all the bolts associated with it. I removed the 4 connecting it to the driveshaft, the 6 for each axle, the bottom 2 connecting to the frame, and the back 4, both upper and lower. The diff won't disconnect from the driveshaft, and I'm also...

    Any Tips for Removing the Diff?

    I have finally decided to swap my badly leaking diff for another that has been patiently sitting in my garage. I put an hour in this morning, and have removed the 4 14mm bolts that connect the diff to the driveshaft, have loosend the 2 front 19mm bolts, have removed the 2 rear 17mm upper bolts...

    Please Help - Water in Spare Tire Area

    Funny, because while driving home in the rain my "Taillight Error" dash warning light was coming on and going off. Do I just order taillight seals from Toyota? Thanks. Ben

    Please Help - Water in Spare Tire Area

    So it rained all day, but for some reason I just had to drive the Supra to work. Just now I ran out to the garage to grab something from the car, and notice the garage floor is still really wet. Seems to be coming from the rear of the car. I pop the hatch and lift the carpet, and it's wet. I...

    Just Found - Rear Fender Rust Rot!!!

    So this past weekend I drove through a bit of rain on the way to the golf course, no biggie. After the 4.5 hour round in which not a drop of rain fell, I come back to the Supra and find a big wet spot at the rear of the car, driver side corner. There was a slow drip of water, and I really...
