    Trying to Solve Fuel cut - at wits end - this one will stump you

    Ok this is going to be a stretch but did you check to make sure the previous owner did NOT install a FCD? The HKS FCD has twelve different settings and if it is not set to setting 3, for the 7m (I think), you will hit fuel cut because it is set for a different vehicle. (experience) Again...

    wont start, please help

    First off, the engine "should" start with those numbers... but would run crappy. Before you pull the motor: 1.Check for proper valve adjustment. Perhaps the 4 are too tight! 2. Check to make sure the timing belt is not a tooth off. I'm assuming you do not have adjustable cam gears. 3. Like...

    Turbo Size psi/volume

    Thanks to a couple of posts on this thread I think I can finally explain why a larger "more efficient" turbo "can" make more POWER than a smaller "less efficient" turbo at the same psi. Hot air bad, cold air good.

    ACT clutch kit.

    ACT has a great reputation. However I purchased one and after it was installed my mechanic told me it had a vibration and felt like it was out of balance. We removed it and mounted it to a hub that allowed it to free spin and sure enough there was a heavy spot that always stopped at the bottom...

    When is the right time to move on from the mkiii?

    Once it's gone, you will be one of those guys that come up to other SUpra owners and say," I used to have one of those and I wish I still had it". On the other hand, love your car, but don't fall in love with it. The right price won't be there when you REALLY want to sell it....
