    89 Turbo LED project

    Sure why not. The only problem I can see is the specification for those LED and the footprint for PCB. If you know the spec for the LED, you can adjust the circuit (resistor size) to work with those LED.

    Has anyone installed a backup camera in a Supra?

    I don't think it worth time and money to put one in the supra.

    89 Turbo LED project

    Hi Guys, Sorry I haven't been on the board for a while. I got a few PMs from some of you asking if I'm making one for sale or have one for sale over the pass 3-6 months that I didn't return your PMs. I'm sorry to say that I don't have one to sale or intended to make one for sale. It's...

    Worth seeing: Brand new 1990 Turbo Targa

    See in a MK3 in it brand new condition these day is a very very rare. Am I going to buy that for $50K? No freaking way. For $50K I buy myself a brand spanking new GS/IS that can smoke that Mk3 any day of the week.

    LED Tail Lights and Front turns

    Just say NOOOOO to load resistor. It's fairly easy to modify. I have very detail on how to modify it on my LED thread or you can get the one posted by tekdeus If any of you guys want to do it, hit me up on PM

    Crash Safety Ratings on the MKIII

    There is NO WAY I trust the Prelude than in the Supra. My friend crashed his 87 a long time ago. Rear tire blew up and sent the rear left to the median divider. It then bounced and sent the front left to the divider as well. The result is a broken front wheel and the car basically bent like a...

    Seat belt guide questions

    The guide can only go 1 way. You can't swap a left guide to a right seat. Well, that only if you have a 89+ seat like they already said.

    89 Turbo LED project

    My project is basically completed. The only way you can tell whether it is worth the effort is to see it in person. Pictures can't show it enough. This is how I mount the marker/brake board. Basically, I make 4 little clips and insert into the holes where the "legs" for the diffuser used to...

    89 Turbo LED project

    Over the pass couple days, I got couple PM asking for the layout of the PWM and the back board. First I don't want to share the marker/brake board layout because I want to be unique + it's really easy to make your own with ExpressPCB. The footprint for the superflux led is 0.300" between the...

    89 Turbo LED project

    Well, sometime you find some good deal on ebay as well. Normally, I don't really count any words on the seller description. The white led I got for like 2 buck + 6 s/h for 100. For some seller with the same led some list as 13K while other listed as 20K. I mean com'on, a high 20K cmd rating...

    89 Turbo LED project

    Into the light housing. They actually work ;). The picture is a little angle cuz I can't stand straight at the light as you know why. The brake/marker is DIMMED as it will be marker brightness. With the lens on (still on marker brightness). Oh yeah, with full brightness on (brake) Now...

    89 Turbo LED project

    All the led are in. The brake/marker Back side of the brake/marker Turn signal and backup. Back side of turn signal and backup. Brake/marker is 12V regulated and dim by PWM. Signal is 9V regulated as you can see the regulator is mount to the board. Back up is straight to car voltage...

    89 Turbo LED project

    From the layout above, this is the result. Already etched. Close up LED to be used and the proto board. Another close up of the board The board will have 90 LED. Imagine, you have to drill all most 800 holes for the LED and resistors with a dremel. That's suck.

    Supra Haters Club

    The only reason my wife hate it cuz she can't drive it. If I tell her I want another supra, she will help me find one but it has to be automatic which is no fun ;) Did I said, my 2 yrs old boy already said that the car is his?

    Who has the MOST miles and the LEAST miles thread.

    Born March 89, First sold May 89. Turbo Manual 198K miles. In the past 2 years, I only put about 10K miles on her. Purchased in May 95 at 68K as 2nd owner. BHG at 112K miles. Other than BHG related fixed, everything is consider 100% original (exclude radio, tire/wheel).

    LED Taillights ?

    Unless you have lot of free time and all the part ready, you won't get it done in a week. I did most of my planning/design/research/shopping on the PC for about over a month. Prototype on a perforated board take another week. Print/etch/drill the boards take another weeks. If you can...

    LED Taillights ?

    That is what the job of the resistor. Higher resistance (less current flow) the led will be dimmer than low resistance (more current).

    LED Taillights ?

    If you weight in your time and material, it cost that much. Well, that is depend on how much your time worth. So far, it spend over 200 bucks for parts excluding hidden cost like electricity for solder, wires, .... and that is I get most of my leds in quantity discount.

    antilock brakes question

    Like many already said fixed it. The cost and/or weight saving isnt' worth the cost to fix the damage in an accident or event death. Well not that bad isnt' it? The whole purpose of the ABS system is to keep the wheel from being lockup when you slam (or stand) on the brake. This is what most...
