    Ill probably make a quick little video explaining how to buff and such. And showing the benefits of buffing 26 year old paint lol

    No, you leave the tub and everything one piece. The plastic "roof" of the glove box has a rear mount. Remove that mount.

    With megs compound it really doesn't take a lot of paint off. I got the buffer off Amazon, 89.99 with everything you see. And 2 microfibers you don't see. All you need is a drill and you have a DA buffer!

    My update for the day... Got this sucker in the mail. who knows, maybe I'll win some car shows this year...

    My biggest tip is to remove the rear glove box plastic mount. The one with the plastic screw and anchor going through it stock. Then you can jam the harness up into the gap left... Itd be a lot easier if the extension harness had three female plugs, instead of one big one that's for sure!

    It works I suppose. I'd like to make something different out of aluminum, but oh well. At least this is easy to fix if it breaks. And the HKS tuners are so simple.. nice and easy to install, and they work!

    Kinda sorta. My trade requires mechanical knowledge, so that helps. But a lot of it was from this car and it's unreliability lol. My dad helps me out from time to time and I learn a lot from him.

    I don't trust any mileage statements from anyone on these forums. I've been burned too many times lol

    I've never heard of 7ms low oil pressure killing a stock CT. And they're all journal bearing

    Another decent sized update! Got my EVC plumbed in.. Aaaand ready to fire... I think it looks pretty good. Just need to get that upper engine cover modified for my COPs and it'll look pretty slick, I think. https://youtu.be/r5s_h92PazY And with that finished, I decided to start piecing...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Yeah I loved the car when I had the lex afm on it. Couldn't keep up with a "267 horsepower" sn95 though... I think he's hiding a couple horses from everybody. Seeing as I was making the clutch slip if I nailed it too low in the rpm range. And it's not like I had a bad clutch.. I was probably...

    I'm hoping to be able to find one of those HKS cast t4 manifolds. I'd love one... And an hks waste gate lol. But I was running a stock CT on stock injectors with a lex afm running 15-16 psi of boost.. Monitored AFR s like a hawk the first several pulls lol. Never went above 11.5:1 to be 100%...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    I'm going with the full HKS alphabet soup. As of now its a GCC, VPC, and EVC. VPC converts it to map based, GCC is just a fueling tuner, and the EVC is an electronic boost controller. Might get a couple extra hks goodies as they come along. My anti lag was a bee r.. But I returned it as it...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Little bit of an update. I got my HKS MAP sensor mounted. Need to plumb it in yet.. Not sure where to T off at.. any suggestions? Also got a new spectre air filter.. I think it looks pretty nice. 40 bucks well spent in my opinion! If you look at the bottom, you see where I mounted my EVC...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Well. I think he backed out. I need to get my car up and running and he ran into family issues.. so I guess I'm staying CT for now. Maybe once he gets stuff sorted out I'll pull my turbo again lol

    Haha no, no, no, no, and no. Going T4 baby!! Gonna return my bee r (didn't really work right anyway) and I'm getting a Tial 38mm gate to go with my new (used) DM 57 trim t4 turbo with an eBay t4 header that's been ported and custom downpipe and intake.. here's a picture of the setup. Its...
