    A question for those who went 5-Speed to GM Auto Tranny.

    I haven't done it yet but it's no brainer...TH350 is way beefier and common as potatos, can be built anyway you want it, and most importantly (if you want to drag-race) you can build it with a trans-brake. Not possible with an A340. I've spent a small fortune on Toyota A340's and they can be ok...

    Faulty Expansion Valve Recall

    This is why our cars have a shitty rep and no-one wants to make parts for them, and why guys like Titan don't particularly want (so I hear) to work on them. I've got an old 'Vette and people fawn over it, and it's pretty, but it's a shitbox to drive compared to a good Mkiii. The only reason...

    Faulty Expansion Valve Recall

    HG material and torque spec not updated...Toyota should have stepped up to the plate. As far as people getting 100k mi. out of them. Not too many. Most people had problems far earlier than that. My car has been in my family since the day it rolled off the showroom has always been...

    Mines just the opposite, I have to get up to around 30mph just to be sitting still. .

    Why is my speed-o below 0???

    I'll give it a try. I'll post up after I pull the cluster. I have not laughed all day, but that is very funny! Thanks. The only way this car is gonna hit 180 is if it was in the cargo hold a Boeing 747. My thinking as well.

    Leather Seat covers / replacement on ebay JZA70?

    This is a little off topic but we are on jdm interiors... Anybody know where to get a jdm mkiii passenger seat to replace my usdm drivers seat/boat anchor? Talk about a weight savings! Nobody but me drives my car so I never adjust mine, so the electric bs means nada. I was gonna use a...

    dont know where to go from here

    Put theassembly back together and grab the wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock and pull moving slightly back and forth (not to much). Be careful it'll come off all at once and it's easy to hit yourself in the face with it.

    Why is my speed-o below 0???

    I replaced the part of the speedo cable that goes into the trans (same gear, same type cable) and now my speedo works but instead of starting at 0mph it's way below the 0 at the bottom of the dial. Any ideas? thanks man

    Faulty Expansion Valve Recall

    Can you guys believe that Toyota would recall for some shit like that but not the head gasket. Unbelievable. Sorry to rant but that is so typical.

    lowering springs

    ^^^ What have you got for springs now? Looks like your slammed down hard. ST's are pretty good. Eibachs dont drop the car far enough and they're progressivley wound and they feel like it. They feel kinda twitchy and unpredictable when pushed however, if you don't drive it that hard and...

    post pictures of your stickers on your car...this thread will own!! (and be gay)(NWS)

    Jezus, that sucks. If you have the dough...shouldn't they treat you accordingly? Too good to work on an older car? I don't get it.

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    Then maybe you should have kept reading, because America does just make money, I repeat, does just make money. Have you ever wondered why a quarter isn't silver anymore, or dollars aren't backed by silver or gold? That is so they can just print more money without having to back it up with...

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    I'm happy to answer your question Ukisash. The complete answer would take many pages but I'll try to explain the basics: In short, there is a dollar crisis in the world economy due to the absurdly high level of debt of the U.S.A. The U.S A. is the largest debtor in history, owing between...

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    No...wrong. There's a lot more to it than that. In short: OPEC prices a barrel of oil in American dollars and when you have a weakened dollar the price of everything goes up, especially imported good for which the dollar now exchanges at a lower value. Combine that with a volatile...

    TEMS firm tied to Auto trans shift points

    Not a good idea monkeying with front and rear dampening rates separately while on the role. I think the engineers that designed tems would pass-out if they thought anyone would try this.
