Getting back to the original topic, I don't know what your dealership's problem is. Mine's a '91 (not much newer than yours) and they were more than happy to cut me a key from the VIN.

Sorry, Grim. It was Acroth.

That's what I thought, but there was another thread on here where the opinion was different.. so I figured I'd post and gather thoughts specific to my situation. Anyway, I'll give it a try and post back.

I got a pair of front calipers shipped to me, but they weren't packed very well and the bleeder valve broke off of one during shipping. There isn't any thread exposed, but the caliper and such isn't rusted. I've been giving it a good spraying with penetrating oil every 20 mins or so... what do...

Remarkable. Someone who's actually going to dump money into a 7M-GE for performance purposes. Most people just go GTE. Personally, I'd rather go GZE but that's a different story.

Fastest way to turbo an N/A: N/A->T conversion Best way to turbo an N/A: GTE Swap Note: Comparison is done in terms of general reliability and makes no mention of performance potential. If the car's not your DD, then probably the best thing to do is leave the car alone 'til you can afford to...

If you stop and think about it, will it really be all that cheap to swap in a 2JZ engine? First there's the engine, second the transmission. After that you have wiring harnesses that need to be purchased and adapted to fit the 7m. On top of that you have the electronics that need to be fitted...

<< Automatics are also nice if you do a lot of city driving. Stop/go + clutch = not fun.

I don't want to start a flame war, but... ...if everyone were to go around answering everyone's questions all the time, the Search button would be pretty useless. If someone says "Search!" as their post, there's definitely a good reason. It's even a "beneficial post" since it's more or less...

Figit seems to have put my words a little more tactfully. Kudos, Figit.

No, he means "Search!!". As in use the little button marked "Search" before you ask such common questions. I'll even give you a suggestion for a search string: automatic manual conversion Make sure to enter it exactly as shown. I just used this string and got lots of good results. It's not...

I've seen lots of posts regarding the engine internals and such, so I won't address that. I'm also not a GTE owner (NA is my thing), so I won't get into specifics of turbos other than to say that while the engine is out, it's an excellent time to get the CT-26 looked at/rebuilt/upgraded. I...

Also remember: Supras are divas. Neglect them in any way and they will punish you for it.

If you're going to ask questions like "how much boost is safe" then you need to forget that head bolts exist. Instead, you'd be much better off running ARP head studs. They distribute the pressure more evenly and they're easier to work with, IMO. Adjuster runs his torqued to 103 lb/ft. No way...

Just about anything from Initial D can result in increased accelerator usage and a desire to take any and all curves sideways. Good stuff, IMO.

I seem to remember something from Toyota saying that the back hatch antenna was in fact for FM.. they called it a "Diversity Antenna" and that's pretty much what I've been getting my FM reception on, having little to no standard antenna.. it works pretty well, too.

Sorry to semi-threadjack, but it's related.. I occasionally get an intermittent high-pitched squeaking kind of noise from the driver front/rear when driving straight (Haven't pinpointed it yet) that goes away during a rhs turn. Could this be a bearing as well?

I paid $50 for "Resurfacing" and $200 for "Reconditioning" which appears to be the valve stem seal change-out.

I apologize in advance for the semi-crappy quality.. ..but I didn't upload it. Semi Drift Yes. It CAN be done.

East Troy, here.
