    '88 7MGTE 5 speed with Auto ECU

    I have an '88 7MGTE with 5 speed transmission. I'm about to buy an auto ECU from another member here, but I have a question. Every thread I've run into only talks about swapping the auto ECU and the auto harness into a 5 speed car. Since I have a manual harness, how do I go about bypassing...

    Grounds that have positive charge.... wtf?

    Aside from my other thread with a dead end cable, I've found myself in a bit of a stump. I had the not so brilliant idea to move a few things around in the engine, mainly the fuel injector resistor and the ignitor to right in front of the master brake cylinder. That required cutting a few...

    The little things that add up (simple mods, etc)

    I've seen many threads talk about the little mods you can do to these cars but it's somewhat of a hassle to find them all. I'm talking about those small mods that eventually all add up and you start noticing a difference, like jetjock's igniter ground mod. Anybody care to mention a few so...

    Fan clutch repair

    Anybody know the correct part number for the Toyota fan clutch fluid? Also, does anyone by any chance have the link to the repair guide for the clutch? I believe Jeff Lange wrote one but I can't find it and it's not on the portal.

    Oil Thermostat

    I'm getting ready to sit down and order the necessary things to replace the stock oil filter mount and relocate the filter to somewhere a bit more accessible. Now, I have one simple concern. I get the whole point that a t-stat in the line will help warm up the oil faster which brings it to...

    Anybody with a UK spec 7M?

    I really, really, really need someone with a UK spec 7M to answer some quick questions. If you have one, and any kind of camera, I'd like you to please take a shot of the following item: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291220/catalog.aspx?F=7701&P=3 To be specific, the check...

    Fuel Pump Gas Facts

    We have BITOG and our very own section in SM for engine oil facts, both of which are superbly educational. Thing is, no matter how much I search I can't find solid facts on all the different pump gas. I'd like to know if there's a BITOG equivalent for gasolines or if someone here knows facts...

    70a or 80a alternator ID

    I have an '88 turbo but I've changed the alternator twice now. I'd like to know if there's any way to visually know if I've been given a 70a alternator or the 80a alternator that came in the later cars. I'm asking since some other thread here mentioned the use of a 1991 MR-2 alternator that...

    Dead end cable identification

    Picture attached. The yellow plug in the picture has 3 or 4 cables coming out of it. One of them is a white cable with red stripes that runs all the way through the main engine harness. Problem is, while doing the wire tuck I found this cable was pretty much a dead end. It was bound to...

    European Charcoal Canister mod

    When I bought my car back in 2003, it already had its CC removed. Heck, I didn't even know where it went until I got the Haynes manual a few weeks later and the previous owner had already parted out with all his left over parts. Anyways, I've been searching the forum to see how I could...

    Master Cylinder fluid meter plug

    Couldn't find anything using the search. I'm wondering if there's any actual negative effect on the car if I remove the electrical connector for the low brake fluid warning on the master cylinder.

    Yet another smoking exhaust thread :p

    Haven't found a thread that offers a direct answer. I don't want to take apart the CT-26 for nothing. Here's the story. The engine was rebuilt quite a few years ago when I bought it. Well, not exactly rebuilt, but inspected and got the works to make sure everything was in almost brand...

    Finding the oil return line

    I have the stock CT-26 along with the soft line mod. I'm also, for now, using the stock oil filter adapter and stock oil cooling unit. What I'm trying to find though is where does the return line from the oil cooler goes to...

    E-brake handle

    I'm almost done redoing all the interiors in my car, and just got the really sweet boot and e-brake covers from empera. Still I have a question, what do people do with the actual e-brake to make it look like new? I know I could just grab an e-brake from another member and paint it black, but...

    Who used to make stock FFIM's?

    I remember some time ago someone would chop your stock plenum and turn it into a front facer. Who was it? I did the same but ran into a clearance issue after finding out that we were supposed to angle the TB downwards, but I want to make sure of a few things first.

    Paint detail help

    I'm using the NA valve covers for aesthetics, but as expected the old paint on those was badly worn out already. I already removed all the old paint and prepped it as best as I could. But that's not the question. I'm wondering how the hell I can go about covering the parts where it says...

    Stock plenum to FFIM question

    My plenum is over at the machine shop getting finished. Still, I was wondering what to do since the stock vacuum fitting that sits in front of the ISC/AIC had to get cut and welded shut. To give details, I eliminated the EGR and threw away that little "spider" tube that directed vacuum all...

    Bilsteins from Autozone

    So while dealing with the huge mess they have with my PBR Cobra calipers at Autozone, I heard them mention Bilstein many times. Apparently, they work with Bilstein and order directly from them, and led me to find THESE. If anyone else has any information on these, it would be greatly...
