Are your old motor mounts broken? I personally wouldn't put solids on any car that is a normal street driver. The rubber mounts help the car absorb the vibrations from the engine. My 1972 mercedes 4.5 engine even has little shock absorbers to assist the rubber motor mounts so they absorb less...

You can get under your car and disconnect the cable from the transmission. Try spinning the cable tab to see if it spins freely. You can have someone watch the speedo if it moves freely and see if there is a slight movement on it. If your by yourself you can run the cable up in the engine...

You said it yourself. The gasket broke and it will affect the idle pretty bad. Either get a new one or buy some gasket material and make one yourself. The ISC valve is from the junkyard or new?

I have a code 42 for the speedo not working, should be fixed tomorrow if the gear gets here from japan. It should only affect the cruise control to be inoperative. What is your base RPM set at after your engine is fully warmed up?

Advance at the bottom = loss at the top, how much? need a dyno run to find out. The only way around that is to install a variable timing retard/advance system in that you can control with a knob mounted somewhere on the dash. MSD makes them as well as others but you would have to install one of...

Mine does that sometimes before its warmed up. Its probably from running too rich. After Im warmed up its fine. I have an O2 sensor being shipped. What is your idle set at? Last time you cleaned (aftermarket) or changed (OEM) your air filter?

Ahh, looks beefy enough for high horsepower. Thanks for the pics.

Yes I think a custom 2 piece would be more to my liking. I wonder though if a driveshaft shop can balance the two pipe with center bearing combo together as it would have to be done as a whole unit. Getting rid of the rubber bond and two pipes on the back would surely be nice. I had a shop...

I just checked the VF signal again with a new set of test leads (attatched photo) and the results are the same with the AC on it reads approx 8x between 0 and 5v in 10 seconds @ 2500 rpm. With the AC off it sits at 0 @ 2500 rpm but will read 5v one time as I throttle up to 2500 rpm from 0. At...

I ordered the gear from the dealer here they said about 3 days to get it from Japan for my W58.

I think its a 3.91, I was running with a car that was going 75 and I was at 3100 RPM. The Dif says LSD just like my old one and the housing is the same. It came off a LHD car. I should have the new speedo gear in about 3 days then I will test it further.

I think its a 4.30, I got the dif from a supra and its the last one in the yard here so Im keeping the old one for the future if I decide to go turbo. It is a LSD which I didn't think the cressidas had. Also the 7MGE was in the Crowns which are more prevalent here but they didn't get exported to...

Put on a new Borg warner sensor that I ordered about 2 months ago, here is a pic with the borg next to the old Denso one. The Denso is the one that I tested the other day. The Borg Warner just sits there and reads one time on the way up to 2500 and then just sits there at 0. It also doesn't...

erm yes I do, Quite a few of the afgani and Pashtun pakistani expats here that are working here in Kuwait are Taliban supporters because they consider them "Hard" muslims. anywayz I had the new LSD put in today and the gearing is really weird. For one full turn of the wheel its moving the...

Well since my car is getting bad gas mileage I decided to check the VF signal. Not sure if I did it right though; I shorted T and E1 and had a meter on VF to battery ground. At 2500 RPm the meter sits at .05 on 20V scale and doesn't move. If I check it at idle and throttle up to 2500 it...

Just look at your Supra as a wayward child.

I have the 3.73 in my car with 7MGE and it really sux. I just talked to my local "Taliban" connection here and he is going to the junkyard to see if he can either get me the 87 turbo dif or NA at 4.30. There are only about 7 supras here in Kuwait in the yards so Im not holding my breath and its...

I agree, the price is probably including the clutch labor which should be flat rate and not by the hour meaning whether they get it done in an hour or a day the labor is the same. I put a fidanza in my car and Im happy with it but your car is allready at the dealers and they usually won't...

Sounds like the system isn't fully engaging and the clutch is going out. Before you fault the clutch though try bleeding the clutch release cylinder. You can see it by looking down on the drivers side and watch the fork as someone pushes in the clutch. If it doesn't move in very far bleed it...

There is a lot of info on the web about putting a light weight pulley and our motors. The bottom line is do NOT do it. Read this and search some more. http://www.modtest.com/host/riemer/TorsionalDampner.htm
