So I just got my new Apexi Power Intake and full 3" exhaust this weekend - from the turbo elbow on back, no cats - and can't believe the quick spool and power increase. I had to leave work for a bit this morning because I forgot my laptop, and almost lost my baby pulling onto the street. A...

I got wondering if something like it has ever been tried, or would even work... Would it be possible to gain any meaningful horsepower by using your car's A/C system as part of an active intercooler system, instead of the familiar IC's that cool through passive airflow at ambient...

BEST laugh I've had in a long time. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/false-wall-prank.html

I know some of you warned against even considering used tires, but it's what my budget can take right now. Anyway, I bought a pair of tires for the rear from a used tire place - very clean and friendly. I paid a grand total of $64 for the mounted 245-45ZR-17's and was about to leave when I...

I'm working on my knock sensor rewire and need a quick answer: On the ECU, is the KNK1 or KNK2 terminal for the rear knock sensor? Thanks.

It seems that leaving the targa off at work is an open invitation to mess with my car (steering wheel & seats moved, wipers on, xm antenna moved to the door, etc). It's getting old and eI'm ready to strike back. Is there an easy and cheap way to set my car up with a battery so that anybody who...

Short notice, but how about happy hour at Joe's in Lyndon (8131 New Lagrange Road) next Wednesday if the weather's any good? Maybe meet up between 5:30 and 6:00 for a few $1.50 longnecks... I'd like to meet a few Supra owners in the area and break the week up a little. :beer:

I have the opportunity to buy some 17x7" five spokes in great condition (1 has a small scuff but the rest are perfect) for $400, but the tires are shot. I've only seen pics, so I don't know who made the rims. I will be trying them on my car on Sunday or Monday and I will try to find out what...

So it looks like I might fallen for way-too-good phishing attempt and got taken for $1,100 on Friday. I am always really careful and warn my family about the dangers, but let your gaurd down for one minute and they are just waiting to pounce. Some pimply-assed shit, probably living in his...

So I got my Apexi 500-A021 replacement intake today after buying from Ebay. Seems I bought/got a universal replacement filter, when I needed the 507-T001 model, and this "universal" intake won't bolt on. Whether I didn't do my homework or the seller screwed up doesn't matter now, since the...

Wednesday, I ran my car hard for the first time since my hg job about 1,000 miles ago on the way home from work. Later on I punched it pulling out of my driveway. My boost gauge shot right past the normal ~6psi and pegged, and the whooshing sound from under the hood made it sound like a major...

I would hate to loose my headlights completely some night, so I figured I'd jump on this highbeam problem now. They work fine when I flash them, but when I push the light switch forward to keep them on I loose my headlights all together. Pull the switch back and I'm back to normal low beams...

BHG - done. Rear struts & alignment - done. Now for taking care of original '90 leather seats in POOR condition. The seats have obviously never been cared for, with lots of worn panels and ripped seams. I'm starting to look into options and here are a few if anybody can offer advice for or...

Changing my rear struts seems to be a PITA for the stupidest reason: I can't get the damn rear quarter trim off! I have removed every screw I can find, and am stuck up front, where the quarter trim seats under the trim alongside the back seat (the bracket that catches the backseat fold down...

I searched the forum and couldn't find any threads or info on the group demographics. I have to admit to being statistics geek and it's got me curious just who owns and loves these cars. Is there already a summary from existing information? Has a poll ever been done? Does anybody else even...

Just wanted to post an update: About 4 weeks ago I asked the group if a couple of noob's could tack a BHG, and four weeks later I'm happy to say it's a definite 'YES'! Looks like the previous owner drove a while on a weeping gasket more than a full blown gasket. After a few stupid and...

It seems I cracked my #2 turbo water pipe near the flange during a HG job, and it's leaking like a sieve. Does anybody know if this can be welded, and if so what kind of weld would it require considering the heat? Better yet, if anybody has this part off of an old stock turbo, I would be...

Well, we ripped into my bhg project last weekend, and after 12 hours I was ready to send my head to the machine shop - just got it back last night. I have noticed a couple of things that I want to take care of while the engine's apart, but could use a few suggestions. The main thing is that...

I believe I’m in for a head gasket job on my 1990 7MGTE. I just bought the car with a freshly installed 1990 JDM long block with about 36,000 miles. I immediately had a series of coolant leaks, which were easily taken care of by tightening a few hose clamps. Problem is I am still losing...
