Well, I wanted to get some new rear tires that were stickier than the 225s I was using. So, I got some 265/45/16 Kumho Ecsta XS. So far they feel pretty good. I might do the same in front if it fits fine with the steering.

All of a sudden I got a check engine light when decelerating. The engine has idled pretty rough a few times, but it idles fine maybe 75% of the time since the Check Engine Light popped on. The car is still drivable but maybe the ECU is resorting to default values. When I am driving there is no...

I get a rattling sound from 1500rpm to 2200 rpm. It is most noticeable when the engine is cold and it starts to go away and is barely noticeable when the engine is at operating temp. The sound completely goes away after 2200 rpm. I thought it was something in my engine bay rattling until I spent...

I have a newly rebuilt (by myself) engine that I recently put into my car. I noticed that I have a consistant oil leak that drips every few seconds. It is dripping from the oil pan on the passenger side near the engine mount and the oil pan drain plug. The thing is that the block is oily...

My car has not been on the road for a while now. I set the CPS up correctly so that the two metal parts that are slightly magnetic were touching at TDC. I put the cover back on and adjusted it up and down to get 10* of timing. It was fine for a while. I've just been idling it and driving it...

I've been looking for this book online for some time and the only person I could find selling it is some guy on ebay/amazon who wants $995 for it (no joke). I checked my University's library today by chance and they had it in stock! It's very good so far, I've been reading it all day. It's...

I recently rebuilt this engine and got it in the car. Since then I have been having numerous problems getting it to run correctly. Right now the car will start and idle fine. When I give it throttle it will hesitate a little to go up in rpm and it will also hesitate to come back down in rpm...

With the ISC valve plugged in the car will startup but immediately die, it will not idle. If I unplug the ISC it will idle around 650 but after 10 seconds it will go down to 500 and will try to stall but it will still run for a min or two before stalling completely. I have changed the valve...

Its great to see that these cars are still around. I would love to get my hands on one. I hope that whoever gets them will take great care to restore them. Group A/N Supra Safari Rally Supra

I am just finishing up with my rebuild. When I try to start my car it will rev to 600 and immediately die. If I give it gas at it will start up and idle very roughly. The TSRM states that this is an ISC Problem. I have Code24 which is the air intake temperature sensor. Although I have...

I have two grounding wires that are hanging near the transmission. One is farther back and I believe that it goes on one of the four bolts that are on the transmission mount. The second ground is near the block and the slave cylinder. Does this ground mount to the block or does it go to the...

wtf! :biglaugh:

What kind of adapter is this? I'm guessing t3 but I'm not sure. Are there any good T3 turbos out there? It seems like external wastegate is preferred over internal for most after market turbos.

This video was uploaded by someone else. This is the only video I found with decent supra footage. Skip ahead to 4:40 to get a few clips of the MKIII. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT0zd1zncww&mode=related&search= btw, looks like the supra came in 2nd.

I've been looking at 15" wheels recently. Spun steel wheels are not that much heavier than aluminum. I've seen some 15x10 wheels weighing in at only 21lbs, which is not bad at all. The 15" rim will let me run a tire with a larger sidewall. Most good times seem to come in 26"diameter (or 50...

Does anyone have the original link saved? I looks like the fatter lower nipple needs to be ground down or ground off. Also, the MKIV mount does not fit into the black metal fitting that goes under the block mount bracket. The MKIV mount is as tall as the mkiii one without this bracket. Should...

Is this chip going to be a problem? I just noticed it after I got the head back from the shop. I'll be using a MHG. Should the gasket seal it in pretty well or is this something i need to worry about?

Cliffs: Machine shop did a valve job that I did not want (too much $). I have a spare head in good condition. What to do? My machine shop did more work than I asked them to do. I dropped off my head and Rods and Pistons and I asked for cleaning and a mill on the head. I checked on my...
