This meet is happening; July 23rd, PIR at 4:30PM, Main Gate. Just be aware that it's NASCAR race weekend and there is going to be more people there than normal for Late Night Drags. Van

I feel it's great our generation of Supra is still getting so much love... Wow! Electrical fire? Geez, that sucks! What are your plans for the 1J? Will you consider a build thread? See ya at the Main Gate... Van

The following may be instructive: "... It does lower combustion temps. It does this by reintroducing spent inert gasses into the combustion process, displacing some oxygen. This does not help efficency, it hurts it. By lowering combustion temps you lower NOx, a compound that forms on its own in...

Where's PIR? I'll see you at PIR's Main Gate, on Saturday the 23rd, at 4:30PM. Van

Welcome to SM... I joined about six years ago, in that time, I learned a lot about the Supra and myself. This is a great forum! As the meet goes, you're welcome to come along and feel free to join us in the car you have on the road. As to a good shop to finish the engine swap, I only know of...

I've got the Beech shifter, and it works well. After I had the 7MGTE rotating assembly balanced, the shifter no longer vibrates on the seat. The Beech does have the pivot point changed. Shifting into second on the R154 requires me to rev match while down shifting, then it shifts into second w/o...

You're welcome. Note: The Magnaflow on the Supra is the largest stainless, oval, 3 inch inlet/outlet, they offered at the time (2006). Back then the muffler alone, cost me 170 USD. I choose to have the offset tubing on the muffler, to aid with keeping the pipe bend angles as small as possible. Van

I am having good results using the American brand, Magnaflow. Exhaust sound is only noticable in the Supra, with the windows up, engine RPMs over 4K. The system my Supra has is 3inch from the turbo back, (with a cat), no resonator. I would suggest your brother may be correct. Another brand name...

Here ya go... 7m-CT26-vs-Group-A-CT26-a-visual-comparison. The full article has specification and all the info you may find useful. It would be great if you got one of those motors! Van

That's NASCAR Race weekend, so expect a sh*t load of spectators in the parking lots and South Paddock, where we stage for the Drags. Should be entertaining... I'm in for the 23rd. Van

Love the Hour Glass body! Click Here... Van

How many here want to race on Saturday, July 16th, 23rd or 30th? Our cars will need to go through Tech inspection Tech FAQs and since I expect we all will be under 13.99 sec in the 1/4 mi, :evil2: we all need a helmet. If you don't have one, there maybe some to rent. I'm in for meeting...

I thought I'd help us all decide which Saturday was best. I'm not in favor of going after the NASCAR races as I'm going to be working that race that weekend; starting Friday actually. Otherwise, I'm down for any other Saturday. Here's the link: PIR Schedule

If we're going to race, the cost will be $27. On Friday nights, the line waiting to get in is so long that they're parked, and I just visit with others. It has given me a chance to meet new racing fans... It would be great for a bunch of Supras to represent. Van

It'd be great to see all the local Supra owners. Any idea where to have the meet? If we meet at 5PM at PIR on Friday or Saturday, we could also get some Drag racing in!

Subscribed ---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ---------- I noticed the Supra got loose on the off-camber turn into the back straight. What caused that? My guess: Not enough angle on the wing; too stiff on the rear bar; cool tires; too early on the...

Hola! I was just thinking this suspension problem might get more attention if it were moved into your build thread. I found a lot more help for my build by keeping all the problems in there. Having said that, TRD made adjustments to their Supra suspension for Group A racing, so I know it can be...

I tell folks that rib me for spending money on the Supra, it cost almost 25K new. I'd have to spend at least $50K to get the eqivalent car today. I just don't see a make that I'd rather own than Toyota, and they aren't producing the turbo Supra any longer. I own it, so it's worth my money to...

The big race starts at 1:50 PM, PDT, on Sunday. It can be watched online thru PIRLive. It has a chat feature that is fun to chime-in with the rest of the gang watching. It was fun to watch the qualifying rounds today, Saturday. http://www.pirlive.com/

My Supra is fun to drive. I like the sound of the motor as it comes alive under part throttle; as it accelerates, the pressure on my back in the seat builds going all the way down the front straight at PIR. That it is so smooth under load all the way to red line puts a smile on my face, every...
