First off my mods: 1jz, 5speed, 3"ypipe back, boost controller (10-15psi) Was out cruising the other day with a couple of my buds (2 friends in my buddy's rx7 fc and me and another dude in my sup). Was just messin around with my buddy (he's really absolutely no match for me in a straight...

This is probably dumb but oh well, I've been dumb before... I'm running the tein flex w/ the edfc controller. Does the life span of the coilovers depend at all on the stiffness setting that I run them at daily? Like will the life span be shortened if I run them on the stiffest setting...

My buddy got a gtech for christmas. We went out and tested it in my bpu 1j last night. After a legit run it measured about 230hp/270ftlb to the wheels at the stock 10.5psi. imo was a bit low but w/e. After a couple more runs (with crap launches) we just started messing around. I bumped...

noobie q: What's involved in changing out a shifter? Is it something a complete novice could do? Been looking at picking up a c's short shift kit. Is the ride height good? Are shifts awkward? Is missing gears easy common with this kit? Any other kits I should look at that outperform...

Need a little help with #16-across... http://games.latimes.com/index_crossword.html?uc_feature_code=tmcal&uc_full_date=20061206 lol, saw it in the paper the other day and thought it was neat...

Finally am giving in to all the criticism my 19 year old speakers and stereo are getting in my sup. So I've been looking into getting a new system. Just a few quick questions: Theres only 4 speakers, correct? ('88 n/a model) Are front's and rears both 4"? Any recommendations on...

Finally ditched the blades and got some stock rims off a jza70 from jarco. Also got some clear turns from suprasport last week. Out with the old: In with the new: Theyre same size 16x7 but +44mm offset instead of +37mm on the sawblades. They weigh about 15-16lb apiece...

What are some disadvantages of wheel spacers?

Got a aluminum koyo radiator. Theres about a pin sized hole in it and was wondering if it's repairable. Tried solder (lol...) and it held water but blew out once pressure was applied. Friend told me about jb weld epoxy stuff. Will this stuff hold you think? Running a 1.1bar cap if it makes...

Well, I've been the owner of my '88 n/a clunker for about 3-4 years now and finally she has some real power. Got a 1jz/5speed clip a few months ago and got it dropped in. Picked it up from the mechanic this weekend. Went from a n/a automatic to a 1jz 5speed and all i can say is HOLY CRAP...

I originally thought that the 1jz came with twins that had ceramic turbines. But my mechanic thats doing my 1j swap for me says that theres 2 gens of the 1jz and that the latest one (or the early one...cant remember) came with aluminum turbines. Is this true? Also, is there any need to...

so this mechanic who's installing a 1jz clip for me says that no one in the us sells a downpipe with a y-pipe included. i thought i remembered seeing quite a few places who sell the combo. can anyone post up some links if this is true to stores who have them? thx!

well i took my supra along with the 1jz front clip to a mechanic yesterday. told him i wanted some tein c/o's (probably flex) but he said that tanabe makes good suspension. I've only heard good things about tanabe exhaust systems, not their suspension. Any input? Tein flex + mdfc or tanabe...

Where can I get a front fender (stock one) for a '88? Any place I can order one or should I just get it off another supra somewhere?

So iirc, I read that the supras have 18.8 gallon tanks right? Well when my gauge hits zero and I go to pump it up, it only takes like 12 gallons to fill it up. I thought it must be a problem with the pump so one time I just tried forcing more gas into it. lol bad idea... Anyways whats the...

Can any of you guys tell what color the front mkiii is? Is that dark green mica (6l9)? Any idea what it would cost to paint a mk3 that color?

So some guy says that he's running a 1400w sub in his car and that it really drains his gas. He says that because it takes so much energy to run, that there is more stress on the alternator which makes his gas mileage go down. Is this possible? Sry if this is a dumb q ;)

Well some of you may know I'm doing a 1jz swap pretty soon into a n/a supra. The clip didnt come with anything exhaust other than the stock downpipe. So I've been looking at getting the 3" dp from 935 and the tanabe hyper medallion cat-back. I barely have enough cash for those parts and was...

my 1jz clip arrived today and the intake and exhaust manifolds have oxidation buildup and look nasty. any tips on cleaning them up? anything special to apply to them or just start hacking away with the wire brush? Thanks!
