    swaq's mild build

    I've been having periodic fuel cut issues, so I finally went ahead and adjusted my boost controller. The previous owner had installed it and I couldn't find the manual in his records so I had to make a guess as to which way to turn it to decrease the boost. I choose tightening it (clockwise)...

    Supramania Forza Motorsport 2 Tournament (Xbox 360)

    I would suggest limiting it to a specific class. That way it doesn't matter as much which car you pick. I'd like completely stock too, but then we would have to limit it to just one car. My vote is for limiting it to A class.

    Supramania Forza Motorsport 2 Tournament (Xbox 360)

    Okay, late January would probably work best for me. Yeah, I think I won the GT4 tournament. I'm currently in the top 10% for time trials in Forza 2.

    Supramania Forza Motorsport 2 Tournament (Xbox 360)

    I'd love to do this, but I wouldn't be able to participate unless it was later in January. 19th at the earliest, probably. I'm going to be on my honeymoon early January, then moving to Tucson mid-January. A 12 [+1] month XBox Live Gold membership card can be purchased from Amazon.com for...

    Need a whole thread to post my MKIV! Come see why!!! (56K DIE!!!)

    Looking great! I can't wait to see the finished product. :)

    you think this would be an even trade?

    If you have to finance the purchase then you're buying beyond what you can afford, in my opinion. Save until you can afford a MKIV without trading your MKIII for it. There are other more affordable daily drivers you could get in the meantime.

    so, what is it about a mkiii supra?

    That stuff is really hard on a car. How can you afford maintenance? On a completely unrelated note :sarcasm:, could you move to the east coast?

    Touch up paint

    Thanks! How should I prep the nicks/scratches if there is already a little bit of surface rust developing?

    Emergency brake light stays on... usually

    Guess I'll have to go get some brake fluid. Is there a certain kind I should be getting?

    Touch up paint

    Where should I go to get touch up paint for my Supra? I've got some small nicks and scratches. I'm most worried about rust, but it'd be nice to match the 3H8 paint as close as possible.

    Should I Buy An MK3?

    What are you looking for in a car? $500 is a good price if the chassis is fine.

    Emergency brake light stays on... usually

    I took a closer look at the e-brake just now. Looks like it is hitting the button just fine when it goes down. I checked the brake fluid level, it is right on the MIN line (cold). I assume I want it close to the MAX line? Do brake pads affect the fluid level? How do I check my brake pads...

    Emergency brake light stays on... usually

    Recently my emergency brake light has usually been staying on when I put down the e-brake. I've tried raising and lowering it repeatedly with little to no success. However, it will sometimes go off after driving for a while. I figure something is sticking around the e-brake. I took off the...

    Oil Sample Report

    I have the DryFlow. I took off the filter and that's what it says on it, in addition to "do not oil". AEM charges $9 for shipping the cleaning solution. Are there any stores that would carry it?

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    Okay, that's fine. I wasn't in Corvallis with my Supra until 4pm anyway. I don't currently have any plans to be in Corvallis again this break.

    A few more Oregon spottings

    I saw a 1991/1992 (guessing based on color-matched moldings) blue Supra with wheels and exhaust in Beaverton today. Asian-looking owner. I waved. :) Also saw a white 89+ on I-5 that was headed north.

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    Looks like I'll be in Corvallis with my Supra closer to 3pm-4pm

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    I don't think I've seen that one then. I've also seen a silver 86.5-88 parked on 12th and Monroe, a dark blue 86.5-88 one driving around (looked like a girl driver), and another white 86.5-88 parked on 8th and Monroe. Friday should work. I plan on making several trips to Corvallis today and...

    Oil Sample Report

    I picked up a Koyo radiator from the group buy a few months back. I accidentally bought a 80 degree (C) thermostat, so I'm good there too. First thing on my list is to fix my A/C... I assume I have the Dryflow, but is there an easy way to check? Thanks for the info, I really appreciate...
