    Boost spike

    Buy an EBC, or at least a better MBC. The older Profec B's are pretty cheap on eBay, $150ish last I looked.

    Suspension problem?

    Could be multiple problems as well. 99% of the time a vibration in the rear is either alignment or center support bearing on the driveshaft. If the vibration comes and goes at different speeds it's probably CSB, otherwise take it in for an alignment and wheel balancing.

    performance upgrades in the right order

    Downpipe, cat-back, intake, EBC, EGT/Wideband gauge. After that make sure the engine is running tip-top before proceeding past FCO. Change all your coolant hoses, spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc. Fuel pump, BOV, 550cc's, Lexus/VPC/MAFT, intercooler, turbo. Somewhere in there your car...

    Lex Afm problems...not running stoich? and sputters HELP

    Check your engine error codes: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_023.html At cruise and idle it should fluctuate around 14.7. It's supposed to fluctuate 8 times in 10 seconds. You need to get a voltmeter on your Vf signal as well, that will tell a little more of the story. N/A...

    Boost spike

    Normal for a lesser quality MBC, not normal for anything else. What unit are you running? Could also be a boost leak, would have to know more about your setup.

    perma-cool fan kit

    I had pretty much the same experience as Noah. Before the intercooler upgrade and without AC the Permacool worked awesome. Even the large radiator couldn't help in the summer though. No problems with it on my N/A in the summer with AC. It's just too close to the ragged edge of cooling for a...

    rough idle

    Fan shroud shouldn't affect how the car runs, I've run without mine before with an open air filter and it didn't change the idle. It certainly is an interesting problem. Anything sticking up above where the hood sits, or any part of the hood liner sticking too low could potentially cause a...

    Advice on Shocks

    I can't remember which company stopped offering springs for the MA70, but both Suspension Techniques and Tokico used to make a decent linear rate spring for the Supra. I've run both in the past and enjoyed the ride quality of both. Last I heard one of those companies still offers a spring kit...

    Need help asap with window

    Not easily. You can try applying 12v directly to the motor and it should move. It's not that common for our window motor to fail, I'd suspect relays, fuses, wiring before I suspected motor, so try the 12v to motor first.

    Int. high Idle...?

    The car is supposed to idle higher when it's cold so it can get to operating temp faster. Once it's warm if it's idling high it could be any number of problems. Reset the ECU, drive it around a couple days and recheck the codes. The low gas mileage may or may not be a separate problem. Fix...

    Advice on Shocks

    If you like going around corners fast, definitely upgrade as the stock spring/struts are horribly deficient. If you just like going fast in a straight line, stick with stock suspension. I wouldn't pair the Tokico Illumina II's with Eibachs. The Tokico struts are notorious for blowing...

    rough idle

    Does it throw any codes with the hood shut?

    spark plug washers... ?

    It's possible, but not too likely. Just depends on the design of the plug. Personally I'd go out there right now and put that washer in.

    Daily driven supras?

    I've been daily driving a Supra since 1997. I couldn't see myself driving anything else. The gas mileage is better then most SUV's and trucks. As for power getting annoying, wtf lol! Having good power at my disposal makes it very easy to merge into traffic, plus it's better then coffee in...
