    the car/truck you wish you could have back...

    I wish i still had my Sierra XR4x4 - would be worth a lot these days - and i'd replace the FI system with the one from the '88 only Ford Granada. Had a big trunk, space for 5 people, comfy seats.... I miss that car :'(

    Is this a good first car?

    Can you people stop trying to pawn off your cars on someone that's not driven before? We're talking about FIRST CARS. The Supra is NOT it.

    Is this a good first car?

    Buy a reliable DD. First cars are supposed to be basic and shitty so you gain experience driving, and they're ultimately disposable. Supra as a first car is stupid, as is an MR2, 3000GT and anything else you might 'want'. Unless you have the ability to learn to drive these cars instantly, and...

    Any Linux people around?

    Got Apache2 setup, ssl, cgi enabled, viewvc installed and configured, as well as bugzilla - had someone walk me through it, was simple once he explained it! Next step though, is FOSWiki O.o

    Tricky Wiring: Depinning the oil pressure sender and water temp sender

    Oil pressure sender is a spade terminal, iirc. Water temp sensor just needs a bit of patience - it's not hard to do, just fiddly.

    Any Linux people around?

    I think i've got the filesystem heirarchy nailed down - and where stuff *is*, and the basics such as ls/cp/dir/rm etc i remembered from when i tried out Slackware in 96 - it's the config files that make no sense to me, at least, not at the moment. It feels totally alien going from 17 years of...

    Any Linux people around?

    Yeah i VPN into a Debian Server (i'm pretty sure its a virtual server). Had a look at the documentation, but it's making my head hurt :( Problem is - the directories its referring to don't exist as such - stuff is scattered around in /usr/lib, /usr/bin and /etc/viewvc :/

    Any Linux people around?

    Okay, i hate to admit it, but i've got almost zero experience with Linux. I tried it as an OS a while back, and it was unintuitive, complicated and frustrating. It was like trying to drink coffee wearing a blindfold and boxing gloves - it made NO sense and i got in a mess. So, unfortunately...

    Apexi NEO or..ECU?

    IMO, you'd be wise to look at a standalone for that sort of hp figure. Not saying that it can't be done with piggybacks, but it would make more sense to leave yourself some headroom.

    Is there any hope for these cams????????

    That's with 20 mins work on each with a scouring pad and some wet & dry. You could keep them as spares, if you had them arc spray welded and ground/polished back to stock.

    2jzge cams in 2jzgte head?

    It's precisely why my red one is still off the road - until i get an FPR for it, it's going NOWHERE. Not driving it on the stock regulator.

    2jzge cams in 2jzgte head?

    ...why? Your point being? Never ever cut corners, not with these cars. They demand your full attention. Cheap out on anything, and it *will* bite you in the ass.

    New to the 7MGTE + Intro

    UKDM ECU. Not USDM or JDM. EGR is [b]NOT[b] used at WOT. Sounds like it could be an ignition issue. What resistance is shown at the CPS? Should be less than 180ohms. Also - check the airgap on the pickups, and make sure the timing is correct at 10' BTDC, but only after you recalibrate the TPS.

    what AFM from lexus LS400 and year do I need?

    550s are mandatory - as is a fuel pressure regulator that can feed the injectors. Stock FPR doesn't have a high enough pressure. Oh, and the ideally a walbro to go with it.

    2jzge cams in 2jzgte head?

    Remember - you have to pay to play. Don't be a typical Mk3 owner and cheap out.
