I bought Miggles ex mx73 turbo in jan (7mgte) its pretty good for what it is, Im from perth in w.a. and plan to turn it into a lowdown cruiser.. so far it has a high flowed 26, 3inch dump to cat and 2.5inch exhaust, untuned SAFC (one day.. one day) its Auto :( stock diff.. little bit of rust in her but ill get that fixed and it has saggy shocks woohoo

I have a small problem atm with my AFM, I cleaned it out with a carby cleaning product and managed to give the sensor a little bath hahaha oh well.. it obviously didnt work when i put it back on, so i left it in the sun and it dried out, put it on gave it a rev and it idled fine and revved instead of being in limp mode :D but it has heaps of flat spots and doesnt go as hard so maybe ive done some real damage to it? If anyone has a Lexus AFM they want to sell (and dont mind shipping) i could be interested, ill put a wanted add in the right section later ;)

hope to learn more about the hated 7m, ive been lurking and reading all about oils so far its been good..

Looks like a pretty clean car,damn they're ugly all stock.lol
The 7M is a great motor,the biggest weak link is the prior owner,well maintained they last quite a while.Welcome to the forum,and enjoy the Cressy.

The Karmman-Vortex setup in these AFM's is notoriously unforgiving to things like carb cleaner. You likely cooked the electronics or messed up the mirrors in it.

Welcome aboard.
