just got my supra the other day. i'll post pics soon. on the drive home the clutch gave out on me. i wasnt too surprised about that. car has a f**ked up paint job that im gonna try to fix next week along with getting a new clutch in there that i ordered yesterday along with a pressure plate and the throw out and pilot bearing. and i also have to check up on the front suspension as i have some steering play... scary. luckily im smart enough to have a daily driver as i know how bad these cars are for bhg's and rod knock . they just seem to carry bad luck around em lol. feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks.
a very long road...........

so toyota tried to charge 980 bucks to put in a new clutch while another place would charge 400. then i made a few more calls and a different place is gonna charge 300. thats a 680 dollar difference...:3d_frown: shows how much toyota is milkin you for if you want "genuine service". i'd do it myself if i could but its in an entirely different city right now lol.
yeah... its what the previous owner started... he didnt finish so i had to. its only temporary. interior sucks balls tho...
has a fluidyne radiator, turbo has no shaft play or chipped blades, greddy bov that im gonna yank off and a blitz fatt turbo timer. meh... lots of work ahead. when i got it i was boostin at like 8psi for some reason:nono: that problems fixed tho.
yep... its my second one. first one didnt last long as i didnt have time for it because i was still in school. now my only priority is work and i have another car to drive when this ones down and out:biglaugh: i'll enjoy being completely broke for a good while. BHG here we come!!! lol.
yeah it will cause i gots teh lead foot... i needz teh boost rehab *scratches neck rapidly*:1zhelp:
month?!?!?! im gettin played i go broke on an average of every week lmao. anyways... it has an exhaust leak so while im fixin that imma be puttin a ddp from 935 on it for that little extra kick:naughty: also... its wingless which ive sorta grown attracted to. plus all the ricers think its non-turbo so they end up tryin to race me and the look on their faces for the split second i can see it is priceless when the turbo spools:evil2:
ahhh!!! bullshit... got codes 31 and 51... off to pick n pull for me in the good ol 86 corolla. supra idles like shit lol. thought it was worst though before i checked codes i thought i might have had a bhg. i be paranoid.
yeah it is... 31 is afm. also i found a 90 cressida in the junk yard with a tps. but i'll wait until we test mines.
$812 for a brand new AFM............. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?! oh well... time to buy one used from another member... who wants to sell me one?:naughty:
Looks like you need some advise here.
To avoid BHG, torque your head studs down tighter than factory specs. Do that before you do anything else. You want to go to about 72lbs or so. Check your coolant Daily!
To avoid Rod Knock, fill your oil to 1 quart over, and do not rev past about 6000. The CT-26 sees it's full potential at 5800. Check your oil Daily!
Go to the for sale section here to find a $50 AFM all day long.
Now, explain the 8lb of boost problem please.
