    Destroying an S4

    On my way home, it's a 45 minute ride, 55mph the whole way, and about 15 passing zones. I'm cruising along at 65 or so, and out from an abutting road comes an S4 turning onto the main road (the one I'm driving on) with his 3" exhaust rawring. He comes out close enough to me that I have to apply...

    Greddy BCC 7M compatibility with a MK4 BCC

    I've had mixed feedback from retailers and people on whether or not the greddy bcc for a mk4 supra is interchangeable with a 7m supra. Does anyone know any details on this? I'm having a rough time locating a bcc for a 7m and as most of you know they are discontinued everywhere... Thanks in...

    Smoke, smells, suggestions to where to start trouble shooting?

    Today, I took the car out for a spin with a friend. Did a couple 50 to 120 pulls. I started so smell something funkie, but all gauges were okay, so I just drove casually back home. Car sat for about an hour, I got back in it, started it up and backed it up...to my surprise through a cloud of...

    Sticky wastegate?

    Yesterday had the boost set nicely so that it's peak was at 14.5. Driving the supra around today and it started hitting 16.8ish. Which is a little out of my comfort zone w/o tuning. The AF's were still in the 10's which at least means it's not running lean...but still... So I started lowering...

    Valve Covers Leaking

    Hey everyone. It appears that I'm leaking about a quart of oil a month out of the driver side of the valve covers. How common is this? How serious is this? and what's the best solution? I drive the supra about 500 miles/week. Thanks.

    Staying Cool w/ or w/o targa?

    Hey everyone. As a lot of us do, I deleted my AC in May this year because of Hardpipe conflicts with the AC lines. Anyways...I was wondering if it is cooler to keep the targa on during the 90+ degree days and stay out of the sun...or is it cooler taking the targa off for increased airflow...

    Can't decide...meth injection or 57 trim

    Hey everyone. I'm totally on the fence about this... I currently have a 50 trim CT26 and will have maft pro in spring... My wHP goal has always been to get as close to 400whp (with tuning) as possible w/o putting crazy stress on the motor/turbo... In order to make the last hump from 340whp to...

    High stall torque converter for a daily?

    Hey everyone. I'm having my a340e tranny built by a pro shop next week, and I'm on the fence between getting a torque converter with a higher stall...or not. My target....within the next year is to be at 400whp (currently about 340-350 with mods). This is a daily driver, not a racer...and...

    Eclipse vs. my 7M Daily Driver

    Going up the 2 lane highway today, doing about 65 in a 55, passing some cars in the left, then I come up on the usual (I don't care if I'm in the passing lane, I'm not moving) type of guy in an eclipse with probably a cat back exhaust (looked all nice and shiny chromed out). So I get close...

    How do I make my antenna go down?

    My antenna is stuck in the up position. I never use the radio in my stereo... I'd thought about just cutting it off...but I'm afraid it will cause a leak or something. How do I lower it? Anyone have a quick how-to? I don't care if it stays down. Thanks in advance.

    Quick question about a/f's

    Hey everyone. Right now as my build sits, under WOT the car, according to my aem wideband and a/f gauge, starts at about 11.5 and then slowly drops down to 10 (minimum reading level on gauge) as it approaches 16psi. Is this normal for not having a tuning device? I've leaned out the fpr a little...

    MK3 Killed a 2010 GTI, but not without a good time

    So I'm cruising along the lake on the way to work on a relatively remote, nicely maintained highway enjoying the scenery, and from just a spec in my rear-view comes flying up this late model, perhaps new GTI. I'm going about 55, so this guy was definitely pushing it to catch me. I let him pass...
