    Daily Driver FTMFW

    If you want to talk weird weather, here in Oklahoma last year we had a tornado one day and snow on the ground the very next day. So far this winter, it has just been really, really cold, no snow or ice yet. Got the supra in the garage ready for the new fuel system while I beat around with the...

    Custom Cluster

    I really think a big piece of making the custom dash look nice is keeping the stock clear plastic panel over everything. For some reason, naked gauges look odd sticking out of the dash.

    Thinking about buying an 89 Supra, looking for info.

    With that turbo on there, the 1jz wont really be a gas saver anyways. I started out with a 91 nissan pickup, then a 90 NA supra, then an 89 turbo supra. I'm glad I did it that way. The pickup got me up to safe driving ability, the NA supra got me into working in the engine bay (nothing...

    Was it just me or was the supra pulling a little bit on the straights, and then massively caught up to when he tried to turn :P?

    Educate Me! BUMPER 101.....

    86.5-88 have no center bumper piece between the nose piece and the bumper. The grill is different, the fog lights are different, the overall shape is different. Yes, you can change out the whole front bumper if you want. Changes by year...

    Noob Questions

    An engine swap in my opinion. But it sounds like the best thing to do would be to get to know the car, do maintenance and the like. Drive it for now and eventually your 20 year old sports car will start to show its age and you'll be able to see all these things wrong with it. Start fixing...

    suprastore.com problems??

    Sorry guys, just want to clarify, I accidentally was thinking of suprasport.com when I was talking about getting my maft-pro. No experience with suprastore.

    Christmas Presents? Post here

    Present to myself: fuel system upgrade to install over the break. Already have the aeromotive AFPR on the way, just gotta order the bigger injectors and fuel pump.

    Maft Pro ISSUE

    Sounds like your temp sensor is defaulting to the lowest range (most likely due to what was mentioned above). When posting problems with the MAFT-pro, it is usually asked that you also post an export of your settings for others to review. This will encourage more help to come. Also, I would...

    Best 500hp T4 turbo with good warranty < $1000?

    I have a Turbonetics 62-1. Picked it up for $750 and a 1 year no questions asked warranty. I'm waiting on assembling my fuel system, so I've only been running around at 10-12 psi. It builds boost pretty quick, but I don't know what max power it would support (probably around 400-500 on pump...

    How protective are you of your Supra?

    Hidden kill switch on a self holding relay; you have to push it while trying to start, and once you turn the car off it defaults back to armed.

    suprastore.com problems??

    Edit: got mixed up, thought it was suprasport.com. No experience with suprastore.com.

    Stupid Mistakes I've made working on stuff, thread..

    I took off the transmission in my old N/A back in the day to replace the throw out bearing. Got everything put back together and had just tightened the last mounting bolt when my dad asks "what's this?" and holds up one of those little washer pieces that goes on the spline... I had to take the...

    crazy arabs **lol***

    I'm sorry that I did not catch the subtle sarcasm about the Arab government. I couldn't tell if you were "rolling your eyes" while you were writing that, so when I read it, I thought that you truly believed it (which in turn would be racist, hence the response). There are some backwoods...

    crazy arabs **lol***

    Please leave the racism out of this. I'm not a mod or anything, but I'd be appalled if one doesn't step in soon. And FYI: Suicide bombers are extremists that claim to be Muslim. Can you think of a similar group of extremist that claim to be Christian? I'll give you a hint: they wear white...

    It looks like the space right after the "K" could probably open a bottle.

    More problems, need advice

    Ah, well if it does end up being a bad AFM (verify by swapping out with someone else's) then I have one laying around I could cut you a deal on.

    More problems, need advice

    Code 31 specifically deals with the AFM circuit. I would trouble shoot that first. It will cause the issue of the car not staying alive. After that, move on to code 41 about the TPS. My suggestion is to double check plugs, make sure they are getting full contact and that no wires have...

    water pump gasket went bad!

    The stock gasket for the water pump is semi-paper composite stuff (might be paper), but yes, it is papery. The best way that I've found to get those paper gaskets off is to use a putty knife (like an inch wide, thin square blade) and a straight razor. You have to be very careful not to gouge...
