For anyone is interested, I have a car up for sale in Fayetteville, AR. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=83224#post83224

Not me, but I have seen it too, looks to be in good shape. Mine will be on the road today! Still need an exhaust, but at least it runs!

Breezen, one more question: 235/?/17 265/?/17?? What aspect ration, 40?

Correct. Breezen, do you have any pics I could look at to tell what it would look like? Damn 265 is WIDE. I think i need more power to justify that. Hmmm...265 is not that wide really, but my last car weighed more than 1000 pounds less than my supra! Not really used to cars with an easy 300hp.

haha, thanks that what i needed to know!

I am looking at some 17x8 and 17x9 wheels with +38 offset. I used a wheel offset calculator (google it) and it should fit, but will it look right? Seems +35 is the best, but will the +3 make a big difference?

No, I drive (lol if it would run) a 87 white turbo. But it is not running at the moment, actually I havent even got it registered yet. I live over by the wilson park.

Nice!

This seems to be the same as the GTX. People seem to have the biggest problems when trying to vent a stock BPV or Bosch BPV to atmosphere, but few problems with aftermarket. The GTX actually uses the exact same stock BPV as the Supra, and I have heard rumors that it leaks really bad a idle. I...

Looking at all these photos, I see lots of guys venting a BOV to the atmosphere. I am new to supra's, but on my last car (Mazda 323 GTX), I could vent the BOV with out it stalling out. Is that not the case on this car? Sorry if this has been answered before, I searched but didnt find anything...

I dont have a good running Turbo to compare to, but my moms car is really fast. I know it would kill a N/A. The 2005 cars have 210 hp and weigh 2700lbs (not 220 and 2600). But still, compare that to an N/A's 200hp and 3600lbs. Basically my mom's car has the same horsepower, but wieghs 900lbs...

haha! Ok, thats kind of what I figured, I am going to get a 935 DIY 3" here pretty soon, so I guess I will fix the other stuff wrong with it. I just blew a coolant hose, and I got to fix the brakes and a few interior issues.

Great, thanks guys. Whos heard of a 4.5? Thats messed up.

I fixed my knock sensor, and the car runs SO much better. But now the boost is building pretty slow (I dont really know what is supposed to feel like, this is the only supra I have driven) and I runs out of steam above 4500 rpm. A friend suggested that the DP cat may be clogged (already cleaned...
