I tailgate to get back at people for being bad drivers. :ugh: I'm with OP for the most part though, even when I'm keeping my distance I've gotten close to trouble when someone suddenly decelerates with no turn signals and no brake lights. Actually just last night I was behind a car that one...

Rheostat does nothing, I'll check the wiring diagram when I get out of class but the cig lighter's not my primary concern so much as having a lit gauge cluster so I know how fast I'm going.

Searched a bunch of terms and nothing. Also manual searched a few pages back and still nothing. Problem as it stands: Gauge cluster lights and interior lights do not work, Climate control lights only work when the headlights or parking lights are turned off (daytime), Cig lighter only works...

If there's any interest I may consider it, but as of right now I'm just gonna leave it with this one and move on to the next project. My car's not exactly one for pretty at the moment. If you look carefully in some of the pictures you see it's missing a few things. The seals aren't in the...

So everyone with a Targa hates the shimmy, right? And various people have made braces to combat that. By now everyone's thinking weezlwings I'm sure. Well, as much as I'd love a weezlwing, they're not sold anymore. And if they were, they'd be more expensive than when they were first released I'm...

If it's the one I'm thinking of that's the case. I'm pretty sure the owner works for Geek Squad. Haven't met him but heard he's a total tool. If that's his listing there's your evidence

Definitely the way to go, even if it's just CAD work for a consulting firm, you're getting your foot in the door and exposing yourself to the world of engineering. Besides, the first few years of engineering, likely anything, is just going to be grunt work anyways. May as well head into that...

Can't imagine I would need any more power than that for a car this light. Since I'll be tracking it I don't really need 4 billion horsepower. It will stay in the Supra until I blow the KA, but after that I'll need a new engine for my 240. :biglaugh: It's not the tenth of a liter that concerns...

I'm really leaning towards it. Seems like the most practical engine to use to make a reasonable amount of power without relying on a big blurbo. :icon_razz Have to get the car first, then probably going to track it stock a few times to get a good feel for it, but you can count on a build thread...

I'm already the cool kid on the block cause I have a supra engine in my supra!!:sarcasm:

Found something that said the KA Weighs around 370 lbs - just motor. Looking for a street car that can hold it's own on the occasional track days (Road racing, not so much drag). I own a 1jz, why pay a couple thousand more to get a rb25?

I could do that, but I figure not only would it be short lived compared to the alternatives, but also boring. I'm not really looking for alternatives, just facts. Is the added front end weight from a JZ swap practical, or will it cause problems for handling?

That's what I'd do if I had balls. :D On a side note, how would a W58 hold up to a 1jz? I won't exactly need that much power to get an 8 oz chassis up to speed. Again I know this has been done too, but I don't remember seeing any actual numbers. I wouldn't mind a smooth throw. :)

So I found a cute little 91 s13 hatch not too far away, good condition in every way minus a couple minor dents that I was told were left over by the spoiler, which it is currently without. Odd, but onwards. The car has peaked 175,000 miles on that Torque-y KA Monster, which I know is really just...

I'm actually not entirely sure to be honest. I picked it up a few years ago from a listing on Supramania, and under the description you could see "Unknown exhaust." It looks like just about every common 4" exhaust that any company puts out, but if you guys wanna take a crack at identifying it...

That's the biggest thing that's bugging me. You can get a harley from factory that sounds like I'm running straight from the header, but my car's illegal? I thought it was especially funny when the guy said he's usually pretty leniant toward exhaust. It sucks, I was completely polite...

So I finally got my frist ticket on the Supra after having owned it 3 years now. It's a noise violation. I was pulled over by a state cop and, luckily and surprisingly, he wasn't a jerk. I figure the reason I got pulled over now is cause it's the end of the month and they have to meet their...

Fixed until next time it doesn't work. :) You like my radio, btw? Or lack there of. :P

I'm pretty sure I removed it some time ago, because I just spent 30 minutes looking for it and no luck finding it, but I could be wrong.

So I have this cool car, but it likes to play tricks on me.. It only starts when it wants to leave my house. Apparently anywhere else is just a more desirable location to it. The best way I can describe what it's been doing lately is the starter's just not getting any power to it. The battery...
