    I wish I knew how to post a video lol otherwise I woul have put that up there already...just imagine it being quieter than stock, my set up is without the ddownpipe on yet.. It is a very nice exhaust though if you were thinking of getting it.

    hks dragger exhaust

    It looks good that's the point and of course helps the turbo spool faster an the engine can breathe a little better that's what matters l think I don't care about the sound. But there is a slight rattle that I can here and I think its coming from the cat... Maybe they dropped it during delivery...

    hks dragger exhaust

    Yea I like it quiet, and it looks really good. I don't want to attract attention to people or sound like all the hondas that are around here.

    Toyota Red Coolant = ?

    Why is your coolant dripping out anyway? Mine is too every once and a while so I think I have a bad head gasket so I'm goin to change that and see what that does. I have also heard it could be a bad thermostat? Still haven't found out for sure what it is yet

    hks dragger exhaust

    So I just put my new exhaust on today. 3" Hks super dragger with a magnaflow hi-flow cat. I bought it and was told that it should be a little loud and I put it on and it is not loud at all. That's not a bad thing though I still like it, just was wondering if anyone else has this exhaust and they...

    injectors or sensor problem?

    I think i found out the reason it was dying. The person before me has a blitz blowoff valve and its not recirculated its to the atmosphere and its not supposed to be right now, its in the wrong spot or something, not for sure yet but thats what it is. It needs to be recirculated.

    injectors or sensor problem?

    Just got an 89 supra and it runs pretty good. It has an oil leak and a bhg, the owner said it had a rod knock but it deffinately doesn't, it is a slight tick noise, I'm thinking lifter tick or valves. That is not the problem I'm worried about. It runs good and idles good, but when driving, and...

    where to get engine internals?

    So I have a big decision to make. Since there aren't many supras in iowa it would be hard to get another engine here for it. Rebuilding it would be another concern just because I don't really have a clean work area but I don't want to pay someone for the labor. I have a few people that can help...

    where to get engine internals?

    I looked up some prices and it looks like it would cost around 1500 to 2000 to re- build not including machine work, unless I'm just looking in the wrong places. But I just added up all the stuff I thought I would need from driftmotion.com. So I think just buying a whole engine would be cheaper...

    where to get engine internals?

    Is it worth rebuilding the engine? I won't know how bad it is until I take it apart, maybe buying a whole new engine would be the way to go? I found a 7mgte for 1450, shipped to my house but it's used and in the shipping process the saran wrap squeezes the engine together and breaks some of the...

    where to get engine internals?

    It has a rod knock. So I'm guessing rod bearings,rods, pistons, crank possibly, mhg. I just wanted to know if anyone new where I could find prices for all of the parts, like a website or something.

    where to get engine internals?

    I'm looking to re-build a 7mgte with a rod knock. The guy notcied the knock about 2000 miles ago and is still daily driving it about 14 miles a day he said. Is it worth getting the car at the asking price of $2000? Its an 89 turbo targa. The body is in pretty good shape and the interior from the...
