    Knock Noise @ 1900 RPM??

    Try to pin-point where it's coming from with some sort of stethoscope. If nothing else, use a screwdriver (preferably wooden handled) pressed against your ear, with the other side touching the motor. Just be weary of moving parts.

    Dash does'nt light up

    They just want you to hook up a constant 12V source to it. Take the rheostat out of the dash and test it up by the battery with wires. And yeah, I miss understood earlier. I thought you meant the CC lights were working properly with the headlight switch in all positions.

    Dash does'nt light up

    CRE, that is a good thing to check first in most cases but he states that the CC lights do light up, but nothing else. That is, if I understand correctly... Do the instruments work? If so, then pull the cluster and make sure you didn't miss a plug. If they don't work, check your 3B...

    My '90 Supra

    Very nice build man, I really like how your taking it step by planned step, fixing and upgraded all at once. It really gives me inspiration and makes me wish I had more cash to do some of the things I still wanna do to my 90. Keep up the great work man!

    new to the wideband

    Question: On a related note, my UEGO gauge bounces around quite a bit at idle and any other time it should be stoich. Under full throttle it'll hold pretty steady around a good number. But it rarely does that at idle. Is this indicative of a problem, as far as anyone knows? I do believe that my...

    profec question

    It sounds about right... Yes, 145 is 14.5 psi. As long as you're happy with it then it'll work. If you want more boost turn up the set, follow the advice in this thread, and adjust it how you need to.

    profec question

    It'll only show the decimal in kPa mode. When displaying a boost figure, it'll also say "x100" with "kPa" right below it, off to the right of the screen. Edit: On your original post, you state you have your set value at 1.74, but the set value should be a percentage... I'm confused on this.

    profec question

    You're in kPa mode still. Do this first: Turn it to OFF mode. Now hold down the select button, and within 2 seconds press the mode button 2 times. Now you're in psi mode rather then kPa. Be aware that the psi is shown in x10 value. Therefore a displayed number "174" is indicative of 17.4 psi...

    Heavy MKIII vs S2000

    Raced one a while back on the highway, his passenger caught it on video apparently. It was a 50ish roll iirc. I started to pull on him a bit, and would have kept on, but we ran outta room. I don't remember what we ended up backing off at...

    My first Supra!

    You should, this is a great place to learn. Especially since you know how to ask your questions and research what you want to know. You seem very apt to learn, so enjoy soaking up the info. Best of luck with your car; It really does look beautiful.

    :::INDY 2009 MEET::: (Indy2K9)

    I was really wishing I would have been able to make it this year... But yeah, I won't be able to. My sister's college graduation is that day, and my car really isn't worth showing off atm. Seriously... Maybe Indy2K10..?

    new to the supra world

    Correct, if I had my head on straight last night I would have said this lol. Make sure everything is in working order. These cars are reliable considering their age, but only if you keep up with maintenance. They typically have head gasket problems, as you may read. There is plenty of info and...

    ***The Red Supras Thread***

    Yeap... Unfortunately, I fishtailled on a slick back road about a month ago and love tapped a gaurdrail. It scuffed up my front bumper and pushed things around a bit. The Euro turns are mostly destroyed, but the CF lip didn't get touched. Most likely the whole car will be repainted and the...

    I don't think I posted this one yet. It was taken a month or two ago, before I had a little accident. :sarcasm:

    Do you Daily Drive your car in Good Weather?

    DD here for the most part. I have the MR2, but honestly atm the Supra does better in the snow. If safety weren't an issue with the MR2, i'd be driving it in the snow (which is really fun). Typically, I'll drive the Supra 4 out of 7 days a week, and everytime I go on a trip that has highway...
