    JZA70 and MA70 Springs different?

    Ok, i was looking at Toyotaxtremeteam's post, where he put JZA70 springs on his pre-89 MA70, and it made the ride height quite a bit lower. I think I like the height of the JZA70 springs better, they aren't like the monster truck springs that are on the pre-89 MA70's, they are a little...

    Boost w/ Shimmed WG...

    My Supra is totally stock w/ 4 washers in the wastegate...I read online that I should be hitting around 10 psi...well, I only hit like 7-8...what could cause this?? Right now, I'm thinking either a small boost leak, or a worn out actuator spring...does this sound right?

    Okay, maybe this is a weird thread...but how do other people feel about your car?

    Weird BPV Sound...

    I was just driving a little while ago with the top off, and I boosted, everything was fine... Then I boosted again, and it seemed to boost fine, but when I let off the gas this time, there was like a hollow, air escape sound, and it seems to do it everytime I boost now... what could this be? I...

    A/C Refrigerant leak problem...

I put more refrigerant in, and it worked fine again...so i have a leak...

    Idling at 1K

    My car seems to idle constantly at around 1k RPMs (sometimes to 900, and then sometimes is at 1100). I have also noticed that sometimes the car will idle where it's supposed to before it warms up, and as the heat rises, so does the idle...hmmm.... I don't know if this is relevant, but my...
