Garage Shenanigans (with the MKIV)

[Poodles]

I like stock green...it's easy on the eyes...

but anyway...

 

[RazoE]

my ODO says 243,563...


I love it, wish the MKIII had round gauges; one could add ridiculously high numbers like that..

 

[suprahero]

Blue FTW and yes Miguel he can be banned if you and I join our forces together and.............are you crazy? Leave me out of your silly little plans to take over Supramania...........:biglaugh:

My supra has 170k miles and its a 87. That mustv'e been some serious driving on your part lol.

My 87 has the exact same haha, I cant blame Mike, Id be doing the same thing, why own a damn car to let it sit there? Use it, drive it, have fun with it, you bought it for a purpose. :evil2:

In 1999 I did 75,000 KM's in the year

Supra's LOVE the open road.

Mike: Don't find all the blue a bit bright of a night?

Love the 220mph gauge, how accurate is it

I doubt it's very accurate. Besides, if I'm going fast enough to be in the "unexplored range" of the MKIV Speedo, I'm keeping my eyes on the road, not the gauges.

Looks good Mike, very clean. What font was used on the custom gauges?

I honestly don't remember Dirgle. I'll see if I can track it down. The gauge faces are actually stainless steel, but I didn't like them being reflective so they are powder coated black now.

are those just for HOLY SHIT factor? i mean... 10k RPM.... uhhh

Redline starts at 8,700 K, which is pretty much where I want it for a built 2JZ.

Supra's LOVE the open road.

Yes, they do.

Mike: Don't find all the blue a bit bright of a night?

I've got them on a dimmer, you can dim LED's, you just have to vary the current. The range isn't as good as an incandescent, but it dims them down enough.

I'm not done with this project, I've got some other ideas I'm working on for that dash as well.

Oh and for those parts in the cluster that are a little less lighted you can actually cut some of the plastic on the back to free up light travel. JSYK

daytime pics?

 

[BlackMKIII]

Clean. I like. :biglaugh:

 

[Quin]

Clean. I like. :biglaugh:

 

[Figit090]

damn that's cool. i didn't know redline on jz's could go so high. pretty sweet

 

[BlackMKIII]

Only with the proper engine components. Stock redline is around 7 for 1J, can't remember for 2J

 

[Quin]

7200 1J, 6800 2J IIRC. Probably wrong on the 2J. I read someone revved a 1JZ up to 9500 before valve float. That's FTW

SRC? That would be FTW

 

[Figit090]

OMG that's fast. haha... so can valve float damage the engine?

 

[BlackMKIII]

OMG that's fast. haha... so can valve float damage the engine?

Yes and No. On a non-interference engine like ours? Not likely. On an interference engine (such as a Mitsubishi 4G63) I've seen it happen.

 

[Figit090]

makes sense. i was just curious to see if a misfire into the wrong passage or firing with an open valve would damage anything (other than direct piston-valve contact that is)

i want a 1jz...

 

[Poodles]

you'll lose tons of power...

 

[Figit090]

hmmpf? loose tons of power? over what?

is their bottom end really god-awful or what?
