    Speedo reads 10% too fast

    I confirmed this with my GPS and the CHP in NorCal that my speedo is about 10% too fast. IE, at 70 MPH my speedo would read about 77 MPH. I'm running a 1JZ with a 5-speed swap and an auto tranny N/A gauge cluster. Anything I can do to solve this issue? Adam

    Front Of Driveshaft Pic Look Right?

    Is it just me, or does it look like my driveshaft is too short? I have a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft and my car is converted from an auto tranny. The driveshaft was a custom built one that came with the white 1J I just sold, and the previous owner didn't know who made it either because the...

    What Clutch Part Broke?

    On my way home today (San Francisco to Portland, Oregon) I stop in Weed, California to fill up. As soon as I start my car, my clutch pedal has no resistance and goes almost all the way to the floor. Instead of having several inches to engage/disengage the clutch, I have about an inch to do it...

    Just curious as to what everyone is getting for mileage on their BPU 1J's. I'm running a Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, 3" free flowing exhaust without cat, cold air intake, and 14 PSi of boost. I'm thinking 13 if my foot is in it, 18 if it's out. I'll find out tomorrow what I'm actually getting...

    Last night Sucked!

    So I was heading down to a booty call that failed and it starts getting dark, no problem. I turn on my lights, no instrument lights. The damn fuse blew. I can't do squat because my fuses are in my other car. I had to use my GPS to tell me how fast I was going. Later, while returning from a...

    1J Cranks But Doesn't Fire

    My 1J won't fire. It'll crank all day long, but it won't spark. And yes, the plugs are new. Any possible suggestions? I've already confirmed it's not the ECU because I ran my other 1J on it. All the fuses are good too.:1zhelp: Adam

    My friend decided that he wanted an 04 WRX, so he gave me back this 87 1JZ to pay me off. I'm going to strip it of all it's goodies and put them on my 87, leaving the white 87 pretty stock with the exception of having a 1J. I'm also going to get fresh Oregon plates on it so I can sell it...

    Any Disabled Vets In Oregon?

    I'm about to get out on a medical discharge and will most likely get a severance check. I know federal is going to take 28%. How much did Oregon take from the severance check and did you recoupe it when you filed your taxes? Also, did you get any of the federal taxes back as well from that...
