    Ensuring a straight steering wheel after rack replacement

    Would re-aligning the wheel itself alter the turn signal stalk release?

    **MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread Part 2!**

    Bout-dam-time... sheesh! hahaha... I have thought about using one of those hot rod wiring harness for a full gut and finish, how is it working with your engine harness?

    Chambers Build Thread - "Daily Eighty-Seven"

    Yesterday I dove into the Supra again, a local wanted to buy the moldings off my car. Since I had a complete set waiting to go on I obliged. Took me all day, but I had a lot more than moldings to swap/replace. I'm happy with the end result, very subtle, and thats how I like it. After I tore...

    No power to ecu.... Help me!!!

    Few questions to help diagnose the issue: Is the check engine light turning on when the key is in the "ON" position? Is the fuel pump kicking on? Is the EFI main relay in the engine bay fuse box working? Is the EFI fuse in the the same fuse box good? Is the 7.5amp IGN fuse in the...

    What Do You Think Of This?

    It was in the rear, it was carbureted too. Had a huge carb, can't remember if it was pre or post turbo though. The intercooler was above the engine with a "scoop" to pull air down into it. It sounded like no other engine I have ever heard. Blip blip blip blip -turbo spool... haha.

    What Do You Think Of This?

    There was a rotary turbo bug down at VA beach last year, it was said that it lifts the front wheels off the ground. That = bad ass I like the old bugs too, I'd own one if I found a good deal.

    Nothing on car will turn on even though it has a charged battery

    I have had somthing similar happen, it was the battery terminals. They looked tight, the kinda felt tight, but they werent, and there was some corosion on the posts. Clean them real good, and reinstall them or get new terminals.

    Toyota scion fr-s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yup, targa would be very cool! I also agree better deals will be had after a year or two, BUT, I can see so many of these cars are going to be broke in incorrectly and abused in the first few years. This is the first "internet" car I have seen, where it has thousands of followers before its...

    Toyota scion fr-s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I sat in one at the local dealership, the seat was amazing. All the controls were very close and readily accessible, and I could operate the clutch with my boots on. I opened the hood too, the engine is really tiny, its wide as hell, about as wide as my 1UZ, but still tiny. The photos on the...

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    The car is awesome!! I have been wanting to do a old 40's or 50's car. Your cheapest route for an engine would probably be a SBC with a set of aluminum heads, intake manifold, nice carb, decent cam, lifters, and rocker arms. But tuning may be an issue between elevation changes. If EFI is...

    Wiring the 1UZ-FE into a Pre-89 Supra

    Not true, for MA70 swaps on the SC connector IJ1 pre 96 has less power wires for the electrical engine components. I had wired my jumper harness for pre 96 and my harness is from a 96, well it didn't run. Thats because some of the engine harness was not getting power. If you pull connectors from...

    Twin turbo 5vz-fe

    Jeeze with a baby six you would have tons of space infront of it for turbo components! I'd make sure its not to wide first though.

    No Cruise Control after AEM install?

    The cruise ECU get a signal from the speedometer in the cluster. It's a pink wire I believe... What year is the car?

    Thanks, Put down 209HP 223FT LBS OF Torque. Thanks Fred! For a temporary lift I put thoses rubber bumpers we removed on the weather stripping below the low points and it lifted them up a little and its going to keep the hood from bowing any more. I just picked some aluminum and stick on...

    Flaming Rivers Mustang 5.0 Manual Steering Rack Problem

    Yea, I was just thinking about that. A little tab on the housing to the drivers and passenger side rack mounts. Gonna see if I cant fab some cardboard templates of something useful.
