    wheel offset

    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?

    Slow spool and no power after 4500

    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...

    My Old crazy sleeper

    My last car was an 88 Mazda 323 GTX. For those who dont know, it looks like a ugly 323 hatch but is AWD and has a B6t, basically a turboed miata engine. Only started with 135hp, I but I had a HKS catback replacing the pencil thin shit that was on it, and a Apexi intake. According to what those...

    RSX v 330ci

    My 87 Turbo couldnt kill my '79 Volvo at the moment, so i thought I would share a good kill story I had earlier this week in my parents RSX Type-S. I am sure there are some honda haters around, and I admit I used to be one, but this is one badass car. This car actually feels like it was designed...

    Why is my cooling fan so loud?

    Ok, I am new to supra's, so maybe they just sound like this, but most of the time all I can hear is my cooling fan. It is load enough that it is slighty annoying at freeway speeds. It seems to me that it shouldnt be that loud, it sounds like a diesel pickup or something. I dont even really have...

    Headlight Washer=Intercooler Spray?

    I had an idea to convert the headlight washer to a intercooler spray. It seems that this would be pretty easy, all the tubing, wiring pump, everything is already there! Anybody tried this or heard about it? If I do it, I think I would find some nozzles that spray a wider pattern, more of a mist...

    Help!

    Ok my 87 turbo that I recently bought is way underpowered. Power builds smoothly up to 3000rpm, and then nothing and then it is just flat, no more power, and it basically won't rev past 5. It is throwing a code at me, so I took it to my mechanic friend to plug into to his machine, but he is...
