    Everyone else started it, now I'm gonna finish it...

    I picked this beautiful '87 MKIII from Slow66, who bought it off a friend who bought it from some dude in New York. Along the way, more and more stuff was added to it. Now its up to me to finish it and see what she'll do. Currently, I'm working on stripping the car of all non essential...

    Gave up on the supra, got this:

    2006 Evo IX MR The supra was too far gone to be repaired. The motor is going into a cressida and the interior and slavageable parts are going to another supra to breathe some new life into it. The Evo is nice and fast, but I still preferred the supra. :cry:

    She will live once again...

    Since insurance is giving me $4200 for repairs, I figured I might as well start with the rebuild. In the beginning, there was this: Then thanks to a woman driver, there was this: Here's some close ups of the damage: Reference shot, the worn place on the IM is where...

    Insurance adjuster = awesome guy.

    My insurance adjuster came and looked at the supra yesterday. He had to run a few numbers before he could give me a quote. He called me back today with some awesome news. Apparently, my car was valued at just over $4500. The salvage value was about $300. The totalled amount would have been about...

    Is this a good trade?lol

    A sentra guy I know bought a emanage blue, but realized too late that it won't work on his sentra (hotwire 12 MAF.) He realized his mistake and now wants an safc2. I told him I had one and he said he would trade the emanage for it. Should I take him up on it?

    What my wife got for mothers day...

    7lb 12oz, 21" of pure poop making, baby cuteness. My first kid showed up this morning @ 3:48, just in time for mothers day. Does this mean I have to get her a card? As soon as I get her back from the hospital tomorrow, maybe I'll post some pics.

    Think this will buff out??

    I was on my way to work, proceeding down a through street @ about 25-30mph. All of a sudden, there was a 98 camry in front of me. I had no time to hit the brakes, so I did what I could to minimize the damage. Eye witnesses said she never even paused at her stop sign. I never saw her because of a...

    Keep my gt3251r?

    I have the gt3251r from my sentra still. I was going to sell it, but it has less than 500miles on the CHRA and the housings just got polished/heat coated. I was wondering if I should keep it and use it for my motor build project or sell it and get a bigger dbb t4 turbo later. I haven't been able...

    Stock MAP sensor specs

    Anyone know what the stock MAP sensor specs are? I.E. If its a 5v sensor, what = 0v and what = 5v. Also, does anyone know if its possible to replace it with a 2 or 3 bar gm MAP sensor? I'm asking because I have an LM-1 with the RPM converter and I have a 2 bar map sensor for pressure input for...

    Boost controller help

    I replaced every vacuum line I could find and plumbed in my HKS EVC 4. I attempted to "learn" the stock boost with the evc, which didn't quite work. I did the first run, where the evc displays an "L", and it beeped when i reached stock boost. Then, it displays an "H", and I run it again, but...

    Maxima HID's

    Just as an informative note, I was able to retrofit the Maxima HID's I had been using on my sentra into the projector housings on the supra. Took me about 2 hrs total and they look great. I'll post pics when I get a chance. The previous owner had installed angel eye projector housings, which...

    Tuning option?

    So, I was reading some of the toyota tech articles about how the ECU controls fuel and what not. When I built my sentra, I removed all feedback from both O2 sensors. This caused the ECU to stay in open loop and made tuning so much easier since it prevented the ECU from attempting to change the...

    Baseline dyno results

    I wanted to get a good baseline from the supra while she is still mostly stock(KN FIPK is only mod). Run was on a Dyno Dynamics, which is supposed to be a very good dyno. ~190rwhp ~260ftlbs torque The graphs they printed out are pretty crappy though, since it won't show the peak numbers...
