    How Big Can You Go???

    After seeing mkiii's with 19" wheels and tires I think that's the way to go. Looks great! Does anyone know how wide of tire and at what profile (35's, 40's etc) you can go on a mkiii without getting into rubbing the inner fenderwells or other problems? What affect might this have on handling and...

    N/A intake manifold flows better than Turbo manifold

    I've been told (by a very qualified source) that an N/A intake manifold flows significantly better then a stock Turbo intake manifold. Anyone else ever heard this? Has anyone got a N/A intake manifold to turbo set-up? Pics? Or info on setting this up? What kind of problems might one expect to...

    Weird Rattle

    I got this metalic sounding rattle coming from somewhere near the passenger rear wheelwell. It's really hard to place where it's comming from and I've almost crashed countless times looking backwards while I drive trying to locate the source. I've checked all the obvious stuff (I think)...

    HEADBOLTS...at what point do they give?

    Anybody ever strip a headbolt or the threads on the block? I haven't yet but I have to retorque my headbolts (stock toyota) after changing my headgasket (so far so good) and I'm wondering how tight I can torque them.

    CODE 63,64 could this make a false neutral where 4th should be?

    My Supra is occasionally (under acceleration) slipping into neutral where it should be going into 4th (O/D). I got a code 63 and 64...#2 shift solenoid and lock-up solenoid respectively. So I pull the trans pan check the solenoids and they seem ok (per TSRM test). I put a new filter on it and...

    mystery part on speedo drive

    :cry: My speedo started bouncing around for about 5 seconds and suddenly went dead. I figured the cable broke so I bought a new one and proceeded to install it. Cable went in smoothly enough but when I was removing the old cable where it enters the transmission a little piece fell out that...

    No 1 speed sensor affeected by broken speedo cable

    :1zhelp: I am getting error codes 42,63,64. Just before I started getting auto trans error codes my speedo cable broke. The number 42 code indicates #1 speed sensor...could this be related to my broken speedo cable? Also how big of a deal is it to repair or replace speed sensors and solonoids?

    1987 supra diagnostic terminal

    My diagnostic terminal on my 1987 N/A doesn't have the same abbreviations as the terminals I've read about or seen. I need to check a code because I'm getting a blinking O/D light. I've looked at the threads and the pictures but my diagnostic terminal is laid out differently. If you go from...

    Turbo Injectors On An N/a

    I've got a 87 N/A with aftermaket, intake, exhaust and a few other minor mods and I was wondering if anyone knows what would I gain (if anything) by replacing my n/a injectors with turbo injectors? Or would it just run rich and burn more gas? I just happen to have a set of the turbo...

    custom shifter for auto trans

    Does anyone know of a custom shifter made for a Mkiii w/ automatic transmission? The stock unit looks like it came out of my moms stationwagon. Not so much a performance issue as much as an asthetic issue. Has anyone ever tried to adapt a B&M auto shifter? They have a short auto shifter that...

    Atf Gushing Out Of Auto Trans But From Where?

    :1zhelp: I just finished doing the top end of my 87 N/A supra and while on its maiden voyage to my girlfriends I got off the freeway and the auto trans didnt want to engage. I pulled into a gas station and realized my transmission was gushing ATF (sounded like a radiator leak). I got under the...
