    Just bought second supra... already stranded :p

    It looks like there is two filter types... a "sock" on the fuel pump and a regular filter above the differential I have found info on changing the one about the differential, but not about the strainer on the pump, does anyone have any help on changing this? Can I get to it from the fuel pump...

    F***

    Bigger turbo without the bigger boost?

    if anyone has one for sale let me know... Does anyone know any shops around Massachusetts south shore that rebuild turbos and can upgrade them? Can't really afford driftmotion right now, but I have a feeling that their price will beat any local price I can find around me

    Bigger turbo without the bigger boost?

    my supra will be auto for a while till I change it so there is a very big difference between stock boost and increasing it just a little bit to around 10psi? I'm not sure if I want to turn the boost up until I'm sure all the fluids are changed, do a compression test, and a couple other things...

    5 Speed Swap

    I would go r154 but pretty much the only upgrade the car might see is a 57 trim ct26, the rest of my cash will be spent on brining the car up maintenance wise. Will do a new, better clutch for the w58 though Thanks for the tips

    WTF is up with all the MKIIIs getting stolen lately!?!?

    As long as theives are only stealing because they need a car usually a fuel cut switch, or a starter relay disable will work. But if they are stealing a MK3 becuase it is a MK3 nothing can really stop them... and putting GPS in the car will work for some theives but most can find it in 10...
