    Gas pedal/Accelerator question

    I've only ever driven one Supra, mine, and I've noticed that the accelerator is fairly "heavy", takes a decent amount of effort to press. Is that usual for our Supra's? Most of the other imports I've driven had pretty "light" pedals, easy to press, so I'm wondering if maybe my cable is binding...

    AFM repair?

    Mine works for the moment, but the connector section is no longer attached to the body. The PO had siliconed it together, but it had long since detached from the body and was just hanging there. I was thinking JB weld to hold the pieces together, then hi-temp silicone to seal it against...

    ? on water bypass lines thru TB & ISC

    Just wanted to verify with our resident experts what the Cygnus Fuel Injection diagram appears describe, that the coolant line goes to the TB, out from the TB, then to the top of the ISC, then out the bottom of the ISC and to the water port on the drivers side of the head. Next, if that IS...

    Need vacuum line help, sanity fading fast...

    I've check here, on Cygnus, the TSRM, and still can't find out for certain what vacuum line attaches at the tube I've circled in the attached diagram. No diagram I can find anywhere shows what attaches there. I'm thinking it's the vacuum line from the bottom side of the ISC, but more...

    What do you GTE guys do for a voltmeter?

    I think the boost gauge is where the voltmeter is in the N/A's instrument cluster. So do most of you with the GTE just live without a voltmeter, or do you have an aftermarket gauge you could recommend to be mounted somewhere appropriate? I've never really encountered a full instrument set...

    New turbine housing for our CT-26's?

    I've found a company in the UK which manufactures the housing at their facility, but they don't sell to individuals. Anyone think there would be enough interest in some new housing to try and talk them into going along with a group buy on them? Just thought I would sound everyone out on the issue.

    General HID projector questions

    Is there a particular advantage for using either the 3" or 2.5" oem projectors floating around? I figure the 2.5" are easier to deal with size-wise when trying to retrofit them into our housing, but was wondering if the 3" are appreciably better in some practical way. Also, for those who...

    Question on OEM springs

    How prone are ours to getting "tired" and not holding the car at the proper height? I've looked around and couldn't find any real information on it though I suppose I could always just take some measurements and see what's what with mine. Thoughts?

    Question about resonators

    For those of you who are running them or have run them in the past, do you prefer the cylindrical/tubular style, or the flattened oval (looks like most mufflers) style like the Supra came with stock? I'm not concerned about looks or finish or any of that silliness, just want one which does a...

    Care for a nice cup of, well, nastiness?

    I figure it's rust and who knows what else in what passed for brake fluid. Ran clean, new DOT 3 through the entire system, and plan on doing it again in a month or so. Think that'll take care of it, or is there something else I need to plan on doing here?

    IT LIVES! It lives Igor! Finally!!!!!!!!!!

    Paint isn't great, but the body is straight and it's finally running after a year and a half of gradual work on her. Now, everybody can get ready for a host of questions as I try to work through the remaining problems. :evil2: And btw, thanks to everyone who through advice, suggestions, and...

    Speedometer weirdness

    Can anyone think of a particular reason that the odometer and trip odometer would work but the speedometer itself wouldn't? The needle will every now and then spin completely around the dial (360 degrees) and then stop and point at the bottom of the gauge where it started.

    A game of name that Whatzit

    Here's some pictures of said Whatzit. Can't recall where it came from on the engine, no part number on it that's still legible, and it's got 2 broken plastic vacuum tubes and one broken metal vacuum tube. The receptacle is for a two-wire plug. Thanks in advance.

    Need help from our wiring guru's.

    Noticed these wires had been cut when I dropped the steering column to pull the dash and heater core. The car is an '88 GTE. One cut wire is black and white, found this end of it on the underside of the steering column near the ignition harness and plugs. Couldn't locate the other end of...

    Coil pack & plug wire question

    Was there any kind of clip which originally came on the GTE to hold the plug wires into the coil packs? There's no sign of them on mine, but the design looks like there might have been some at one time and my plug wires aren't wanting to stay in place very well. Thanks....

    Opinions on my exhaust choices?

    I'm going 3" from the turbo back, with a Magnaflow Hi-Flo 94109 primary catalytic (no pre-cat) and a Magnaflow 12288 18" single-in dual-out setup. Anyone running these, or have any thoughts on how well they'll keep droning under control? Thanks...

    Anyone interested in a heater box resto kit?

    I've been talking to a guy who makes restoration kits for the heater core box on various older American cars, and he was wondering if there's much interest in the Supra community for such a kit. I know I could use one, and he's sending me the proper foam material to replace the cruddy falling...

    Dash cleaning and repair

    Just wondering what the various owners on here used to clean and protect their vinyl dashes. Mine's in pretty good shape physically, with only one cut in it which looks like was the result of sloppy work replacing the windshield once upon a time. It's a fairly small cut and should be...

    Q on foam sections in heater core box

    Got my dash and heater core box out, and as expected the foam from the joints and metal shields is all over the place, coming apart, floating around, and generally making a mess of things. What have you guys (and girls of course) done about replacing this foam when you reinstall the box? Or do...

    If anyone needs stuff off a '91 N/A

    There's one in Emerson, GA. Yard is kinda pricey, but if you need what you need there's still some parts to be had off of it. Front seats are trashed, but the backs are in good shape (med. grey leather). Dash parts are still there as well as the center console (dark grey w/light grey console...
