    rod knock

    Wow I am famous. It can't hurt to try and jack the motor hella up like the mkii people do. The tranny and everything is really fat so I don't know how much space you could get. Honestly if you have a good engine I'd just get the harness and swap it in. Are you considering taking the rotating...

    fc rx7 with a 7mgte

    Not a fan of interracial swaps but that looks really well done. The 13b probably isn't as bad as you would think in the supra, I bet it evens out the weight distribution alot. Hmmm gives me an idea.... I could have a 13b supra AND a 7m rx7!

    Rod knocking?

    There is a local NA supra that autocrosses once a month. He has had rodknock every race and his car still seems to run fine. When he drives by all I can hear is "taptaptaptap" and he didn't even realize till I talked to him :D. Once that material gets in your oil, it only goes down from there...

    7MGTE's- tough muthas!

    Welch plug is foreigner speak for what we call freeze plugs. They are soft and designed to pop out of the block if the coolant freezes (ice = expand). This way the block doesn't crack.

    stupid lying pre-owner...Pictures page 3 added.

    I never understood the stickers with the large "ACCORD". Sure you may be proud of your car, but bragging about an accord? Seriously.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Have you checked the fuse box under the hood? If you don't have a multimeter you can find a 12v light bulb and test some circuits with that. Like Weezl said, it wouldn't hurt to swap in a known good battery to see if that changes anything.

    New Supra owner from Alabama

    So many Alabama owners, wow. If you have the engine out go NA->T while you have the chance. NA supras are fun and all but if your rebuilding the engine this is a prime opportunity. EDIT: I will be in new york next week if you need a friend :D There's actually a rally race near the Albany area...

    LEX with 440s, Tune with Fuel Pressure?

    People just like the LEX/550 combo because you don't need to tune or do anything to it. It's the ease and convenience for most users. I am using stock injectors with the lexus and an afpr to bump up pressure and an safc to fine tune. I make 360rwhp with no signs of going lean, but I won't push...

    350 in supra

    That's exactly what makes them bad, hearsay and the stigma that develops from the hearsay. Hehe sorry I just got an 87 rx-7 a couple weeks ago for a daily driver and all anyone tells me is how unreliable they are. Have to defend my new baby. As far as the supras go, I assume most people get...

    ***The Black Supras Thread***

    It's a 3" in dual 2.5" out Magnaflow with 2 Magnaflow rolled tips. I'm not a fan of large fartcans, I love the way it looks and sounds.

    So I was changing my oil today (? regarding rear diff seal)

    Hmm that sounds like a better idea than isolating them from the rest of my work clothes to avoid contamination.

    So I was changing my oil today (? regarding rear diff seal)

    I still have two shirts that permanently smell like the stuff. Ugh Replacing the seal is pretty easy as mentioned just unbolt the driveshaft from the center support and it slides right out of the transmission. Unbolt from the differential and voila seal access.

    Relocating Coils *HELP*

    I had to make a long bracket with an offset to connect the stock coil pack mount to the firewall lip. If that makes any sense. I should probably just take a picture.

    how many peoepl have a slight miss on there supra aka the fart or the cough

    I've always had a little burp or pop every few seconds at idle. I don't think you notice it much until you get an exhaust. Anything above idle though and it goes away instantly. Never bothered me enough, and I've heard many people say its common.

    new problem? bad wheel bearing?

    See if you can pull in/out on the rotor. If there's any play wheel bearing is most likely culprit.

    Calling all 60-1 Boosters...

    My upgraded CT-26 is comparable to a 60-1, maybe bigger :D. I've had mine installed for a year and a half or so about 5k miles. Zero problems thus far. I love the quick spool, and it hits very hard when the boost kicks in. I don't plan on going any bigger because I am afraid of lag. I'm making...

    zt2 02 sensor reading 14.7 all the time

    I had the same thing. The harness was plugged in about halfway, drove me crazy troubleshooting.
