[wornoutsupra]

wish I could meet up but mine is torn apart and I probably wont be around for next summer damn lol

 

[crisp]

Sun was already SETTING at just a bit past FIVE!!! Time change has made a huge difference... both morning and night!


Managed to swing out to Bressler Reservoir and snap a couple quick shots with limited light...

Light was gone after just a few angles...

i wish i would've known you were heading out there. i went for a cruise and brought my camera. i was thinking about going out there to get the same exact shot as your last one, but decided to be lazy haha.

 

[crisp]

Sorry Z!

Should have called, but did it on a spur of the moment, and another 10~15minutes later, I would have missed it!


We'll get 'em side by side yet one of these days!

How's everyone been?

 

[wornoutsupra]

not bad here just getting ready to pull the motor lol blah how about you

 

[arknotts]

Not too bad. I've finally settled in my new place (an apartment w/ garage not too far from where I lived before) and am starting back up on the Supra. Looks like I'm running out of driving time this year so it should be back on the road in full force next spring (57 trim CT26 + Maft Pro).

what comes after being bored on a nice evening...

[wornoutsupra]

[Courterman08]

I've been so so, haven't made to much progress on the supra. Its together for the most part, need to take the crank pulley off my old motor and swap to the new one. But the heads down and everything is sealed up. Got lowering springs for the supra but I'm not sure when i'll get around to message with them, plus there eibach and I'm wondering if there gonna have the stance that I want. I'm leaning toward finding someone that wants to trade for H&Rs. But I'm not sure what eibach springs i have, because for some reason I wanna say eibach made 2 different sets of springs, the second ones being a little lower and firmer. IDK, either way its gonna be snowing soon, so I'm not sure if i'll even have the supra running this year with the luck i've been having. So next summer here we come

Good deal, what area you live around? I'm around mansfield. Looks like you got a pretty fun setup for this coming spring
I still wanna hear that exhaust tho

Anyone klnow where I can buy a 1jz in ohio? My 7mge caught the bhg bug, and I would like to swap in a 1jz, but I dont really want to have to pay for shippng if I can find one around here somewhere.

 

[carter]

I believe a buddy of mine has one, I'm not sure tho because i haven't talked to him in a bit.

Uniontown/North Canton area. Hoping it will be ready and fun this spring I have all of the supporting mods for 3-400 HP with the 57 trim as long as my headgasket holds up (stocker retorqued to 72 ft-lbs). If/when it blows I'm not messing around and I'm just going to pull the engine and have Rich rebuild it since my final goal is around 500-550whp on a borg warner turbo . I might have a couple of exhaust vids lying around I can show you...though admittedly they are all pretty boring (no WOT clips). I'll take a look.

 

[wornoutsupra]

man I wish i could say I was going to be around for the summer or spring cause my stuff is going to be killer once I get my front rims and I would love to drive around with some sexy supras but yeah lol and
87mk if you find one and need help I am always done to help lol. Carter you should get coils man trust me I love them nothing better and I am glad i invested the money into them

Cool man, you Canton guys aren't too far from me:icon_bigg
I'm curious to hold well the oem head gasket will hold up. It was claimed that someone was pushing 18psi on stock hg with studs but I haven't done it personally. Good luck either way, I've been looking into the T61 bolt-on and sip racing regrounds. Major problem with my car right now, is I don't have the money to put into... But I'll give it some time, I damn near have everything else picked out for the supra. Just not the bucket of money i wanna dumb into it. lol

The next couple parts on my list of goodies is,
Cops
Fcon w/ FCD & WB

Talk to Crisps and see if he'd be interested in tuning the fcon once i got it. And start saving for either a 2j build or an aero make over with rims to match.

I've been looking, i'm not gonna lie. Since the day i came up there, i've been keeping an eye out for a nice set of coils for cheap. Oh and what are the rims you have on your car?

 

[wornoutsupra]

the rears are a 17x10 and american racing sidewinders and I am gonna get them for the front in 17x8 its gonna look crazy lol i figure I have to stretch the tires and pull the fenders for the front and I have to stretch the rear tires still cause I sit so low I cut slits into my tires ha ha ha i love it

Nothing to tune with the PFC F-con really, Carter... unless you have the VPC and/or GCC to give you fine tuning adjustments. ("Fine tuning" is used loosely here...) The other contributor of "tune" with this basic piggyback approach is your fuel pressure regulator assuming it's boost dependent. Then you have fuel pressure gain as a product of boost rise to work with. Very BASIC stuff, really... and the rest is just "drive-n-fiddle" with these simple tools that are readily at hand. (Fuel pressure boost/rise will require popping the hood and making the base pressure adjustment, of course... assuming you don't have some kind of remote adjustment in the cabin, which I have yet to see.)

Good luck, whatever the approach! One of these days, I'll probably HAVE to make the jump to MoTeC, I suspect. I'm gonna hold out as long as I can, since I've always worked toward my long time goal of a 500rwhp ticket off a dyno with this basic setup, JUST to see if I can do it!:biglaugh:

Ok so i deff had a brain fart, either way if i pick up the Fcon I think i'll be in a market for VPC. But I found the Fcon with FCD & rear taillights for $170:icon_cool lol

Either way I wanna see all the lit buttons of the starship
