sorry but I've seen dyno charts showing ~30whp gain over a standard 3" DP... gain comes from elimination of turbulence. The turbulence was a factor taken into consideration when the engineers designed the turbo/wastegate as the wastegate clearly creates turbulence, restricting flow which helps...

luckily I think all the bodywork is going to end up being about $600 -actual cost of paint. Just so happens I managed to run into/ask the right person about having the work done. :cool: TBH I want to do the work myself but I don't have a place or tools to work on it -_- I've already got...

I'l second that, as well as this.... ^^ this is also true... mine are rotted out... need to find some replacements -_-

:cool:

So my assumption is at least somewhat correct? I knew 5th was OD (same way 4th would be OD if you only have 4 gears) but I've never been told not to push the engine in that gear. Still makes me curious though... since a 6 speed essentially has 2 OD gears... I know a getrag 5th gear has got...

I would have to agree... simply for the fact that I'm not made out of money :-/

so I did take some more pics... nothing special, as something is wrong w/ the rear end. I was supposed to get it up on a lift last week, but I guess my buddy has been too busy w/ other work.... anyhow you can see the work I've got cut out. (rust, dent, giant key mark down the side, clear...

yeah, I thought I'd kick the hornet's nest some more ;) You really expect me to not be fine being who I am, what choice do I have? Either I can be all twisted up in a knot over being a social outcast, or I can get the fuck over it. I'm going with option B. Way I see it... most people are...

I'd be interested in doors I'm not aware of anyone making a turbo A duct either... that would be nice.

yeah... I always got better MPG without cruise... and mine actually went out almost immediately after buying my current 89 on it's return trip.... i think the switch in my wheel is effed

I'd buy one too.... I'd prolly never use it... but just in case :cool:

there's no denying it is... but in what way? if it were broken in a way that rendered me a deadly maniac, I'd be a goner by now 100x over Given the circumstances I did my best (and successfully so) to not involve anyone. I hit the road @ approximately 3:45 in the morning. By my perception...

so, you guys have never gone out with a group w/ radios, and monitor a section of what may as well be an abandoned section of road? I guess you could have your stray 6 year old that would come running out of the wilderness towards ear-blistering cars, intent of self-destruction.... but I've...

who said you had to risk other lives? the idea is that you risk your own... unless you're just plain stupid, then you should just stay at home

well, you live and you learn (at least that should be the case) the mkiii is definitely a tank though... that's for sure yeah... uhm... I'm guessing you misunderstood what I was talking about? I'm confused.... I knew exactly what you were on about all in all... the supra was built...

seems like I always hear people get ~29 mpg on the turbo 7m's... my 89 got 30mpg (on the dot, I did a long road trip, ran the numbers and it was EXACTLY 30mpg) we'll see what the one I'm working on now will get.... personally I prefer the OE 89+ 3 piece... although if I had a 87-88 I would...

yeah I had a overheating issue in a 7m once.... turns out it wasn't the first time.... in the end I did everything to make sure the cooling sys. was up to spec, but the bottom end was eating it's-self. you could tell when the engine was torn down because the crank was all sortsa crazy colors...

welcome... thought I'd say it's fun to say things that SOUND absurd from time to time... jus to kick the hornet's nest ;)

oh, yeah I've spotted that before... prolly mentioned it to whoever was there (in person) but yeah... that IS a supra lol

I need to get out and take some pics of this car, but it's depressing really... the clearcoat is going REALLY bad, and I'm getting ready to have some repairs/prep work done for a new paint job (think I will re-spray gunmetal, paint trim too for the 91+ look) just for reference... this pic...
