    Older style Celica GTS...

    The place has been dead for a while, so I thought I'd add to a little something. I was taking my gf and her sister to go see a movie a while back, (the newest Harry Potter). We were in my DD going down 231 heading towards Malco. This white Celica GTS, rims, bodykit, spoiler, neons, exhaust...

    Especially if it's an NA supra since he didn't clarify ;).

    Anyone race their MKIII Supra with an Eagle Talon TSI AWD?

    From a dig, a stock supra would most likely lose. What year talon? A 1G or 2G? They are quite a bit lighter than a supra and aren't that far off on power IIRC. What? 210BHP? Versus 230BHP? Find out what year it is and the weight of it and that will give you a better picture. If your lucky...

    strut bar/ coilover help!!!

    Once you are getting close to cutting through and into the threads of the stud, get a hammer and flathead screwdriver (or use your imagination with another tool) and put it into the spot you were cutting into, angle it to where it's almost horizontal, and hammer it, should help break the nut in...

    Advice needed: rounding up a few more horses?

    More like, increased wear on the turbo vs. wear on the motor. The wear on the turbo itself will be much greater than the motor. The turbo will give out before the motor will (assuming both are new/or rebuilt) if you have a good tune and don't screw something up by some other means.

    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    Looking for a snappy throttle that's quick to rev to the moon? ;)

    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    IIRC it has to do with the amount of vibration that is subjected to the crank/drivetrain at higher HP levels :dunno:

    strut bar/ coilover help!!!

    If it's a nut, try to get a crow bar, flat head screw driver or something, under the nut on opposite sides (will most like take a friend) and start loosening the nut while they GENTLY start prying up with it. hopefully the nut will jump the stripped thread and come on out...

    strut bar/ coilover help!!!

    I've never stripped a nut on a bolt before (this is what you are referring to right?), but I've broken bolts off before that had to be drilled out, this one doesn't apply to you I think...

    Isn't anyone racing this year?

    I'd personally rather do it in the freezing cold than the hot humid shit around here....

    Similar thread to the PSP one, My PS2 stopped reading discs

    I'll have to look into it, but as mentioned, my PS2 is the newer, small version. So I'm betting the white gear isn't there, or it is, but in a different spot. I'll check when I have some spare time, but I think I'm going to tinker with the supra this weekend, it's more important to me than PS2...

    Are you allowed to inspect the bike before pickup? Take a camera.

    Upgrade Estimate from you wise supra masters

    Auto tranny cooler will help out the stock slushbox buches when you are going BPU and up. Changing the fluid and filter will help too.

    Ticking

    Could be stock injectors, but if you are just now noticing it, it's probably something else. The stock injectors are noisy though, listen to that side of the engine when it's idling. If it isn't there, listen around the back part of your exhaust manifold, blip the throttle body and see if a...
