    Well, some asshole put me out of the Supra game....

    I'm no longer a Supra owner I was stopped at an intersection behind two cars and was reading something. I looked up and noticed the light had turned green so I put it in 1st and started to make my way through. Well, someone blew through the red light going around 60 / 70 and nailed me right in...

    Possible Differential Problem

    Well, I've got a new noise that just popped up the other day. After going on a long drive, I noticed that my differential would make a louder than normal noise. It only happens when I'm turning left or right from a stop OR a very very slow crawl where the LSD is trying to engage. Normally...

    Haven't posted in a while but this question came to mind....

    What's involved with replacing my stock CT12A's with CT12B's from a 2JZ?? I've heard that I need to lengthen the o2 wires, have my downpipe re-tooled and weld brackets on the 2JZ manifolds to allow them to bolt up. I'm considering switching out for them when my 12A's decide to bite it and...

    Just for clarification...

    What would be the easiest way to tighten up the steering on a car that's gotten progressively loose over the past few years? I had it to a point where it was very twitchy so to speak and it's gotten sloppy over time. Is there anyone on here that makes a poly bushing kit for the steering rack...

    Quick Question...

    Ever since bringing my car out of storage from the winter I've noticed it's hard to start sometimes. I've gone through about 6 tanks of gas since I've taken it out at the end of February so I can't think any stabo would be left in the system. Basically (does not matter whether hot or cold)...

    The "which o2 sensor" thread

    Seeing as there's alot of confusion as to which o2 sensor to use in the 1JZ-GTE, I'd like to make a thread to finally answer this question and help those trying to find the right o2 for their motor. This is what I've gathered so far: Toyota OEM p/o - 89465-29435 OR 89465-22130 (there's been...

    Tips for installing HID's

    I'm being hooked up with a Digital Slim Ballast HID kit from a good friend of mine. 8000K HID's w/ hi & low beam. Apparently it's a plug & play kit but I'd like to know if there's anything I should know about before I install them?

    Odd Creaking Noise From Driver Side Front Wheel

    I've had this noise come up fairly recently (last couple of weeks) and was wondering if any of you could possibly know what it could be. It only happens when you come to a complete stop and the car gives that slight shake from stopping, during that shake, the driver's side front wheel makes...

    Tire / Driveline Question

    I got my wheels balanced on my Poopra the other day and ever since, I've had this weird rubbing type of noise from the front passy side of the car. It is constant with wheel rotation but tends to go away after you do some driving. What do you think it could be? I'm going to check the tire for...

    Take a look, what do you think?

    I think that one of the previous owners had the battery spill on them. Probable cause? It's a very fine pitting in the paint across all the darker areas. It doesn't appear to have gone down to bare metal.

    I feel like an idiot for asking this...

    But I want to make sure... I'm in the process of picking up all my fluids needed for the annual changes before my baby gets back on the road and so far I've gathered the following: Castrol Syntec 10W-40 for the Motor Redline MT-90 for my tranny Texaco coolant Now the two things I'm...

    HKS Spark Plugs

    My 1JZ originally came with HKS F35i plugs in her and I'm looking to replace them with the same ones. HKS USA only carries the HKS S35i plugs, do you know if they are the same plugs just now called *S* series??

    Front Bumper Lip Question

    So it appears that my car at one point had a front lip spoiler (I have the mounting holes in the front) My question is, how is the spoiler held in place on the sides? I know it screws into the front bracket, but I can't seem to find anything on the sides that would hold it on?

    So I just pulled the plugs on my JZA70 and...

    I found out they haven't been replaced since 2001 (according to my last known service record of the car) LOL. The plug is what got my attention, apparently they are a very high end plug in Japan. The HKS F35i Super-Fire spark plug. I've never even heard of them over here but from what I hear...

    Good Oil for Torsen LSD rear end

    I'm looking for a good oil for my rear diff (has the JDM Torsen LSD in it) I've heard the RL Shockproof line-up is nice, I'm mainly looking for an oil that will provide superior lubrication and also tone down the gear chatter.
