    Hood Vent

    Finally got the time to put it in. Still have quite a few more things to do before it's "finished", but at least it's in and working. Air pours out of the vent at idle, feels just like the hood is open. I got a new camera so I'll be able to take more new pics once it's cleaned up, but I have to...

    Ignitor Ground

    I've tried replying to this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/search.php?searchid=936139, but my replies always disappear after posting What I was wondering is if the 1jz ignitor can be taken apart and improved in the same way by attaching a ground to the negative terminal.

    Brake lights work, then they dont work

    Well it's been a long struggle with these brake lights. I've rewired them to bypass the taillight failure box and had them working for 1 day, then they stopped working. So I redid all the connections with solder and fidgeted around with the stop switch and other misc. kick panel plugs. Wa-la...

    Hood Vent

    Painted it today, first layer. Still have lots more sanding/painting to do. It fits perfectly in the cowl over the high pressure zone. I also plan to extend my custom undercover further back for even less lift and even more downforce.

    WTF - New plugs runs worse

    So I just put in new NGK BCPR7ES plugs gapped at .028, hoping to fix the slight miss I've been having. Had some denso's gapped around .035 in there, this is the first time I've changed the plugs on the 1jz. I started up the car and now it's missing really bad and you can smell the unburnt fuel...

    Clutch Troubles (Was: asdfkljkdsafklasdf)

    So I'm 1 block from my house. Pull out onto the road, do a quick 1-2 pull to about 50ish then slow down. I go to hit the clutch pedal and theres nothing there, so I get in my turning lane and put it in neutral. I run out, pop my hood thinking clutch fluid is low, nope, completely full looks...

    Catch can

    I'm debating putting a catch can on my 1jz. They're recommended for boosted engines right? Just put the lines from the cam covers to the top of the catch can and mount it in a place it can stay cool. Is something like this ok? (From ebay, I don't wanna pay $100 for a catch can from MVP.. )...

    Some new pics

    Car has not been washed, 2 pics came out fuzzy, the lighting isn't the best (I guess I picked a bad time of day to take the pics) but anyways. I lowered the front of the car more, did a bit of polishing on the front wheels (rear wheels still need to be done), centered the IC (even though its...

    Recommended spark plugs?

    I have a slight miss every now and then while at idle, but high rpms/cruising it's fine. I was told to put NGK Iridium's in at .028, but wanted some other's opinions, especially since they're about $50 for the set of 6. Thanks.

    Low idle and running rough

    Lately my car has had a bumpy idle and a slight miss, just recently it got worse and the engine seems to be missing and struggling to keep running. Any ideas? I just replaced the ecu not too long ago, the idle has been like this ever since. When I'm giving it gas it runs fine. The volts drop...

    Installed FCD now car won't start

    I just installed an HKS FCD on my 1jz. Used this ECU pinout The install went smoothly I didn't think I would have any problems, yes I disconnected the neg cable before installing. Is that diagram correct? That's exactly how I installed it. It cranks over plenty of battery power but doesn't...

I just got a new mirror for my car and it looks great but I need to adjust it and the damn bolt won't budge worth shit, it's new so it's not like it's rusted in or anything, but my allen wrench is damn near stripped to shit...

    Brake Lights From Hell

    Ok so for quite a while now I've had no brake lights. None whatsoever. I tried a new taillight failure box, no change, they still didn't work. Last night I found a writeup to bypass the taillight failure box so I figured I would try it today. Well I did it, and the brake lights worked first try...

    AGlobalThreat's update and pics with gf

    I have a hood vent I bought from ShineAuto waiting to install over the radiator and I have to add a FCD because my new ecu has fuel cut (Old one didn't) and it's cutting me off before I hit full boost. I don't have many other plans for the car, it's mainly built for fast acceleration and the...

    Daily driver

    Well I'm going to be getting a new car. As to whether its officially "new" (2006 model) I'm not sure. I have a budget of around $18000, payments must be somewhere near $200 or less, and I would prefer a lease. The car must be somewhat appealing, not looking for a sporty car and not looking for a...

    PS vac line

    The vac line that goes from the power steering pump to the hardline just broke, and I don't have any extra lines that fit. What are my options? Can I cap off both sides (The pump and the hardline) without any negative effects? The power steering is in use, and the line going from the...
