    Quick Cooleeze IC Pipe Question

    Do the cooleeze IC pipes follow the same route as the stockers? Do they go through the little hole in the fender, or do they follow the route of the stock air box? Thanks. Ben

    Test Pipe Fumes - Time for High Flow Cat!

    I've been riding with a test pipe for the past month, and I think I've reached the point where I cannot stand the fumes anymore. I think it may be contributing to some very bad headaches lately as well. It's really bad when at a stop, but it's also there when driving as well, especially with...

    Cooleeze IC Pipes - T Clamps Question

    I'm purchasing a set of cooleeze IC pipes from someone on this board, and I want to order some T clamps from suprasport, as that is what I found is recommended from searching here. How many do I need, and of what sizes? I'm running stock intercooler right now, but do plan on getting a spearco...

    Profec B2 Install Writeup?

    Anyone willing to offer a full writeup of an install for the Profec B2 EBC? I did a search and didn't find sufficient info. I feel I can tackle this, but have no idea where to start when it comes to electronics, tapping into wires, routing things through the firewall, etc. If no one is...

    Holy Restrictive Stock Exhaust!!!

    I had a chance to run my car with an open recirc DDP, and I now realize how restrictive the stock exhaust has been on my car. Unbelievable. With my mods (apexi intake, recirc DDP, test pipe), I've never seen the stock boost gauge get close to the 8lbs mark. Well, I had to do some diff work...

    Got the Diff in, but...

    I finally got the diff installed, but realized once I got it in that it didn't have the rear top two studs in it to mount the nuts to. For now there is nothing there. Can I use two bolts instead, since the diff is threaded? Is it safe to drive for the time being without those? I have to...

    Help Removing Diff!

    I can't get the diff to drop out after removing all the bolts associated with it. I removed the 4 connecting it to the driveshaft, the 6 for each axle, the bottom 2 connecting to the frame, and the back 4, both upper and lower. The diff won't disconnect from the driveshaft, and I'm also...

    Any Tips for Removing the Diff?

    I have finally decided to swap my badly leaking diff for another that has been patiently sitting in my garage. I put an hour in this morning, and have removed the 4 14mm bolts that connect the diff to the driveshaft, have loosend the 2 front 19mm bolts, have removed the 2 rear 17mm upper bolts...

    Please Help - Water in Spare Tire Area

    So it rained all day, but for some reason I just had to drive the Supra to work. Just now I ran out to the garage to grab something from the car, and notice the garage floor is still really wet. Seems to be coming from the rear of the car. I pop the hatch and lift the carpet, and it's wet. I...

    Just Found - Rear Fender Rust Rot!!!

    So this past weekend I drove through a bit of rain on the way to the golf course, no biggie. After the 4.5 hour round in which not a drop of rain fell, I come back to the Supra and find a big wet spot at the rear of the car, driver side corner. There was a slow drip of water, and I really...

    Losing Coolant

    I've had to top off my coolant 3 times in the past week. I've gone through about half of a 50/50 premix bottle. The first time, I did find that coolant had spilled from the overflow. Any ideas? Car runs fine, no CEL, no overheating. Thanks. Ben

    eBay/935 DDP - Who's got it?

    For those of you running the ebay ddp that is also sold via 935, did the stock turbo heat shield fit as is, or did it take some modification? I just had this ddp installed (recirc version), and I'll have to install the heat shield this weekend. I'd just like to know if I'm in for a 20 min...

    Installing HKS Recirc BOV

    I just received my recirculating kit for my HKS bov. It did not come with the necessary hoses or clamps, so I will be picking them up over lunch. Can anyone tell me where this hose will run to, and exactly what will be plugged, and what will be used when I take my stock bov out and install...

    Shop to Install DDP and Test?

    There is a local tire and exhaust shop that I plan on having install my DDP and test pipe. I've done a lot of business with them, and I do trust them, so for $50, I figure why not. The DDP is identical to the ebay DDP, and I purchased it from 935. The test pipe is from Titan. Before you say...

    Loud Driver's Door

    My driver side door is sort of loud and clunky when opening and closing. I'm guessing just from frequent use. Anything I can do to remedy this? I'd like a nice solid sound when closing the door. Thanks. Ben

    Oil Leak - #3 Valve Cover?

    On to my next problem, the oil deposit that my Supra is making on my garage floor every night. I'm not sure how much I'm leaking just yet, but it's more than a little. I did a bit of searching and a common area is from #3 valve cover, or the "gasket" that covers the spark plugs. My leak...
