    A Defiled MKIV

    Geez, that poor thing's Fugly! I really hope it isn't finished. :3d_frown: Sure. I prefer the clean lines of a narrow body Mk3.

    stock 7m vs 1.8t gti

    Nice. I'm a VW guy and I like GTIs, but I gotta admit they're no Supra... A friend of mine has one that's fairly well built (~22 PSI on his turbo (forget what he's using but don't think it's stock), chip, intercooler, etc.) and just playing around, we made a few short runs. So short that I...

    ^yup, tapped my power from the cig lighter too. But I don't have a cig lighter anymore, I took that shizz out and installed a volt meter there. Perfect fit, didn't need to enlarge the hole at all so there are no marks on the rubber.

    Before you buy subwoofers or amps read this if your a noob to audio

    I was just posting my setup that sounds good and has been working great for several years now. I bought the S.B. L5 because it had a high RMS power rating at 600 watts. I bought the zr600 (RMS rated) because I thought it would be an excellent match. As it turns out, Kicker rates the amp...

    Before you buy subwoofers or amps read this if your a noob to audio

    I use a Kicker zr600 (under-rated, puts out ~800 watts RMS) on a 12" Solo Baric L5. It really F'ing knocks. Thinking about moving to an L7, tho, since the L5 gets smelly with constant deep bass...

    Supra Sounds

    Yea, got em from eBay a few years back. I don't like the faces that glow, only the markings. Normally, I'm not a big fan of them anyway but I thought they fit the white package well. They glow greenish in the vids to match the dash lighting, and they flip to bright blue with the flick of the...

    Alarm with built in turbo timer

    I hear you, and understand your points about build threads and mod lists. I only asked because this thread was here and I was curious. If discretion is that important I'll just look it up in my TSRM and keep the info to myself. No worries, I have other things to wrack my brain on.

    Alarm with built in turbo timer

    paranoid much? I don't think any thieves are sitting around waiting for you to tell them how to disable a shitty OEM alarm on a 20 year old car, but whatever floats your boat buddy...

    Supra Sounds

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWK9bD8Aj6g I didn't floor it because it would have downshifted. Although it would have been a bit quicker had I let it do that, it would have also spiked and hit fuel cut again. Having trouble getting the MBC dialed in where it won't pass that boundary. So this...

    Alarm with built in turbo timer

    Quick on-topic question... Does the factory alarm need to be disabled? Does it have a separate fuse to pull that can disable it?

    checking your compression shouldn't involve an air compressor. You need a compression check gauge that will come with a hose that screws into the spark plug hole. The gauge attaches to the hose, and measures how much pressure each cylinder makes on the compression stroke. You need to test on a...

    There's an Autometer 30 PSI gauge on the pillar with a NB A/F. And the vid makes it sound quieter than it is. I set off car alarms at idle so I think it's loud enough... :sarcasm: Such as?

    my ipod mount and autodim rearview

    My VW has the electrochromatic mirror, it F'ing rocks. You should be able to find them from tons of cars, usually the high-end models. When I priced it new at my local VW dealer, it was over $500 new.

    Automatic or Manual?

    :aigo: Any more info on this?! Is this an A340e? How does it work? How do I add it? :love:

    Automatic or Manual?

    No, that's actually about right, although I've never tested that in a Supra... :biglaugh: Not entirely correct. If Power mode is activated in a rev range where the torque converter would not be locked for that program, it will unlock. This usually happens at speeds under 40-50. The auto...

    Automatic or Manual?

    Downshifting into second manually shouldn't hurt anything unless you're so high into 3rd that you rev into the red when you downshift. I think the button you're talking about is the ECT button which has Normal mode and Power mode. It doesn't have anything to do with shifting like a manual...
