Hey guys, reeeeeeally long time since I posted on here. My MK3 is collecting dust while I wait for it to become a father/daughter or father/son project with my little ones. I have been offering these SVM units for years and the business is crazy enough now that I need to streamline things. This...

I check craigs most days in case anything interesting pops up. Well, today might be the most interesting I've seen in Colorado. https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/rare-1992-toyota-supra-turbo/6472651333.html 92 White Package Turbo, Auto, Hardtop (with sunroof), 53k miles...

Hey all, I need some opinions. I'm normally not one to care that my styling choices match the crowd, but this car will end up being a showcase of sorts, should my plans come to fruition. Stay tuned for that in a year or two. ;) Anyways, I'm having my 91 Metallic Blue Exterior car steering...

So my 91 car has a PWR radiator. It's a nice radiator, but the cap is not the same as what I find listed for a 91. The PWR radiator requires a "Type 1" cap. See this link and look at the picture: http://www.driftmotion.com/591-A001-p/dm1061.htm Is there an OEM pressure cap that is "Type 1"? I...

https://youtu.be/Tr16beD7sj4 The Problem: For the last 8 years I've taken my 90 Targa MK3 from a perfectly stock, high mileage N/A car to a mildly upgraded turbo beast. From the start, my build was done with a certain power level in mind - 300-340whp. This is about where the 7MGTE ECU starts...

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the viability of some boost controller mounting products. I don't really have a good feel for which product is used most widely. Help me out and let's create a data point for the mk3 community! What Boost Controller do you use?!

Hey all, I'm looking for info on Zankoku Coilovers. I picked up a 91 Hardtop Turbo (Build thread coming soon...) and it's got these coilovers. They are SUPER low as is and need to be raised up so I don't rip off the whole damn bumper. I scrape on my driveway - which is pretty flat - even at...

Figured I'd share some recent creations for the Supra. This will serve as a showcase for the parts and a tech discussion of their design/manufacture/assembly. If these make it into a finished, ongoing "product" I'll include links to buy them at that time. For now it's just some show 'n tell I...

Installed a fresh Reman Starter from Denso. Here's the chain of events along with video evidence: 1. First Crank: Thud. Bendix did not completely throw or did not attempt to spin. 2. Check voltage in battery, all is well (>12V). 3. Second/Third Crank: Horrible grinding sound, engine did not...

Hey all, I have another problem with finding parts. I'm hoping someone out there may have run into it as well. In my huge task of cleaning the shit out of my 7MGTE I seem to have misplaced my Idle Speed Control Valve Check Valve Seal. Part no 90210-26001 from the diagram below (bottom left)...

One of my mk3's had awesome windows and doors. It had low mileage and had sat for years preserving the window and door seals. My current mk3, however, has 340k hard used miles and the windows and doors were showing it. I recently spent some time diving in and improving some minor things that...

Figured there might be a few new people interested in this after I got a request on my YouTube channel. I remember there were a few good write-ups years back, but there seem to be missing pics or hard to find links now. This tends to be near the top of "Best Cheap Mods". I did mine back in...

Here's another real simple video showing the replacement of the alternator on a mk3. Mine wore out after I let my huge Die Hard Platinum die a few times over the winter (charge your batteries or disconnect them!) and jump started and let the alternator *try* to recharge. I also used Youtube's...

Pretty basic, but might be helpful for some out there. I put together a radiator removal video last time I took mine out to put on a nice new shroud. It's a Mishimoto radiator as well so it offers some good looks at how a Mishimoto radiator fits and how it looks after about 4 years of use...

I'm debating changing platforms and the E39 M5 has my attention. My Supra needs a lot of aesthetic work (paint/trim and complete interior swap/re-upholster) to get it where I want it so I'm weighing my options if I choose to abandon the MK3 Supra (sad face, i know). I'm curious on opinions...

Hey all, I'm moving to Phoenix and I need a job! I'm not posting to try to sell myself to get a job, but I am curious if you guys know of automotive OEM or component/supplier companies with a presence in AZ. Who's in AZ that hires engineers with any ties to the automotive world?! So far...

I documented my recent suspension upgrade showing in - a very picture-oriented way - how to remove, disassemble, assemble and install front and rear shocks and springs on a Mk3. It's not a tough job, but hopefully this serves as a good tutorial to some folks...

Living in Colorado means you're not far from stunning scenery. Here's some examples of the places you can get with a basically stock 1999 Land Cruiser that not many others travel to. More to come in the future. Kingston Peak, above timberline. Very cool to see for tens of miles and not see a...

Hey all. I'm installing a new set-up and have come across a major PITA. My existing rear shock mounts (appear to be Toyota OEM) had a metal plate within the shock mount to hold the shock piston in place and keep it from spinning. This allows you to tighten and loosen the top nut with ease...

Hey guys, I'm interested if anyone has recommendations for reasonably priced sensors and/or logging systems for temperature and pressure. I work with and am familiar with industrial measurement instruments, but I'm not familiar with anything in the ballpark of what an amateur would spend to do...
