Hey all, when I wrote the tittle i was thinking of that song "the heat is on". Could be a theme song for the 7M. LOL Any ways, I got the head back on with not to much fuss. Had to run all over town looking for a thin wall 14mm socket only to grind my own down. Torqued the ARP's down to 82...

OK as we all know the Lexus AFM lets through a certain amount of unmetered air. Now if you had your SAFC tuned so your A/F ratio was just right and were running a lex AFM wouldn't it cause you to run lean as the SAFC gets its reading from the AFM?? I know theres a simple answer cause there are a...

I am about to get a catch can for my MkIII. Since I have been looking I have come across 3 different types. Pics of all are posted. I Just want to clarrify which would most suit the 7m. The first has two inlets and a small filter on top in order for venting. Now the way i see it is you would...

Hey all came across these two pics a while back. I found an exact how to and install and what LED's are needed for doing this to a MkIV but nothing for a MkIII. I'm pretty sure the red one is Bishop92T's car. Not sure bout the other. So my Question is who's done it? What kind of LED's do you...

Ok so I have two Q's that aren't related but thought I could combine them in one thread. First: I have a lex AFM sitting on my workbench. I only got it cause i needed a new AFM and thats all that was available. I used the electronics out of it but not the housing. Is there any point in using...

I rebuilt the turbo a few days ago, all went well. It didn't spin quite as easy as it used to but still spins nice and easy. Now I have a big problem. I reinstalled it and went to start the car. It will start and idle BUT as soon as I give it any gas at all it goes to die. I can't rev it what so...

I have the oportunity to buy a fairly newish Toyota boss kit for a SAAS and AUTOTECHNICA steering wheel for $20. It came off a cressida (90) and the guy said it should fit a MkIII. I checked up with local part place that said it wouldn't fit. I am leaning towards the part place but just want a...

OK so I was doing a routine check of my car today, water, oil, hoses, clamps and found that my lower IC pipe had cracked where it had been welded. I gave it a jiggle and snaped it in half.

Ok so the title pretty much says it all, I know the topic was covered in the old SM but it hasn't been done here.
