Great in winter but useless on summer tires, I guess that's obvious. I have some older M3 wheels I got for $450 and put some low pro winters on them. They kick the snows ass.

Well maybe it's different for a girl. I rarely meet guys who are into cars. Not retarded-mechanical-clinic-attendee like myself anyway. If I do meet someone who knows a little more than the average they get a little apprehensive when I introduce my cars as "The Drag Supra" and "The AutoX M3". I...

Thank you! How kind! I'm glad I could occupy some of your mind in a pleasant way while I suffered from INSOMNIA. Totally sucked.

Wait. What? I crashed my 1992 Jetta. all of a sudden I had no brakes after start and stop traffic on the highway. I ended up throwing it into the ditch. I thought it was the master though, total bull crap if it wasn't. I have another VW one. 1993 VW moves production from Austria to MEXICO...

Hey guys, I got my E46 2003 M3 about a year and a half ago. Moon/Sun roof, Dark Blue, 19"X9" in the rear, immaculate 98,000Kms, Black int., 6-Speed manual, Stock. As slow as my Supra build was going it REALLY didn't need me to get this M3. I thought the novelty would wear off by now but no luck...

Stock FPR? With a Lexus upgrade? Hmm.

^The problem is already there, 22 year old head gasket *suddenly* getting extra boost.

10:1 on 18Lbs is crazy rich. SAFC? I think some widebands/Air fuel gauges only measure to 10:1 you may be dipping lower than that. There's your misfire. Lean it out to 12:1, you'll get better power, lose your misfire and keep your plugs running clean. Just to compare: I ran 21Lbs at 11.5:1 Full...

I can't park my supra for 3weeks without a battery related no start. I've had that house charger since I was a kid. Batteries charge great on a running engine but I think my auto door system drains it pretty quick.

Oh God no. Guys give the guy some practical advice. He JUST got the car. Raising the boost over 8PSI is asking for trouble. If I were you (which I was) I'd enjoy the 6 PSI and the loose rear end for a while. Of course this is unless you want to wait and pay for a head gasket job along with...

The Lexus AFM just has the ability to metre more air than stock. It should idle fine if everything else is good. I've gotten 2 bad Lexus AFM's in a row. Not uncommon. They are delicate and they happen to be old.

I was Just going to say AFM. You were very specific, A+. Those AFM sensors are very delicate and not hard to foul. Especially if you have a bad filter. Get a new filter, god knows how long it's been on there. +1 mikeoc1: try cleaning it first. Lexus will work and can metre much more air if you...

Uhhhh. Depends what you mean by "problem". heehee. *IF* this is indeed the problem you have some piston ring problems. Either one cylinder, or more, but from the *puff* you describe plus the miss probably just one cylinder. Um, piston ring shrapnel could do some damage or just sit in the sludge...

Kinda sounds like blow-by. Just cause at cooler lower running speeds there is more opportunity for ring blow-by. And when you boost the extra heat expands them just enough? Then once the car is all heated up it goes away. The miss could be from a cylinder getting too much blow-by but will clear...

Spend the money on new bolts, they stretch.

Ya maybe it would be off topic, not sure. What would be best I bet, Is for you to start a build thread with pics and info so that everyone can benefit from our lists and ensuing discussion, corrections, etc. I'm a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa, I think early 1989. 5-speed Manual r154...

Starter. And where is the miss? Part throttle cruising, Full Throttle? When in the powerband? When, during what boost? AFR?

No to worry the manual is very specific: you will need this link, save it. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/ You want to go to the "EFI SYSTEM" then Diagnosis which is FI-23. pictures and everything. Is a cone filter a difference? Well, kind of. What it could mean is someone was...

All I'm really saying is that it's shortsighted to think that a big turbo is the end all and be all of making speed. It's a piece. One step of several or else the turbo is useless. The turbo is adding denser and denser air, but with no fuel (and without a bigger AFM to get the air coming in) the...

GT40 series like a GT4094? Bull. Straight bull. I HAD a 57trim impeller wheel on my CT26, same exhaust wheel, tiny little guy. Given that, you would think that since it's operated by exhaust I would be spooling very close to stock... Not so. The 57trim inducer is bigger, but not by a huge...
