    Having problems with compressor surge

    This man speaks the truth! I'm going to give him my old Bosch bov just so he can get around, but you really should try your best to get a good used one off of here. I got a lightly used, latest-style HKS SSQV for $160 shipped and it works fantastic. I'll do my best to ship that Bosch tomorrow...

    That would have been nice to know... Does it adversely effect the way it works?

    Having problems with compressor surge

    I know the HKS SSQV can be re-circ'd, but I don't know what others can aside from the Bosch. I ran the Bosch recirc'd and heard the 'hoot' louder than when it actually opened. PM me an address and I'll see what shipping would be if you're serious. I'll send you all the rubber hoses and clamps...

    Looking at rims for the next several weeks

    If you're looking for inexpensive, yet wide 5-spoke wheels you could look into all the various Mustang SVT or Cobra rims floating around out there. It all depends on what you like, but if you're on a budget, buying inexpensive (but sturdy) wheels would give you more of a budget for buying some...

    Having problems with compressor surge

    The Bosche BOV is good to replace a busted stock one because it's cheaper, but I didn't like it too much. I have one I'd sell you for shipping, but it probably won't be too long before you want a solid aftermarket one. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Bosche bov kinda 'hoots' when it...

    no im not plannin on stealing the supra

    Better yet, do a bit a research and find the phone number for the Sheriff's Office for the county that the seller lives in, contact the detective in charge of motor vehicle theft, and ask him to run the VIN for you. I've done this a few times and if you're polite and patient, they'll help you...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    You also need to consider that you have to measure out how long and wide that little divider is, as well as weld it to whatever crappy steel they used to build it, THEN hope you got one that fits well and won't crack after it heats up and cools down a few dozen times!! Save your $$$ and buy a...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    My BIC DDP isn't recirculated and it really isn't loud... There are cavaliers and civics in my area with fart cannons much louder than my DDP!!

    Well, if Matt ever wants to make some extra $$ doing some high-speed snow removal, all he needs is a front lip!!

    Supsension qeustion: Lowering the car

    I can vouch for this. Stock ride comfort with just the right drop. I have these on my '91 and I think it's perfect. Here's a pic so you can see if it's low enough for your liking.

    Oh, sure... some like the 'raked' look where the front is visibly lower than the rear. The roads and driveways in my area can be really f-ed up, so I've got to be careful about how low my cars get. But you should go for what you like, for sure! And I plan on making a vid when I get it dyno'd...

    I hope you like your DDP as much as I do! Yes, my car is lowered in the pics. Not a big drop at all, it's actually kinda subtle. If you ask me, these springs put the ride height where it should have been stock, centering the wheels perfectly in the wheel well. I don't like 'dumping' cars so the...

    Nah... I think I'll keep her! I might trade for an uber clean MKII with a 2JZ-GTE swap though... Not realistic, just what comes to mind!

    It looked like Hellen Keller put the damn thing on! :icon_razz Honestly, it started coming undone when I took off that rusted piece of bailing wire to replace it with those metal zip-tie things. Also, did you know that wrap goes on best when you soak it in water for a while before you wrap it...

    Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a somewhat chronological record of my progress with my '91 Supra. Since I'm a poor college student, my over-all build probably won't be all that impressive, but I plan on doing my best with what I've got to work with. I'm writing this up for my own reference and...

    How do you like your AUTOMATIC supra?

    Excellent! You never know till you try! Here's hoping that the auto in that car is in as good condition as mine! Well, the clips I bought for my rear interior panel were too short, but no worries! :P The down pipe I bought I actually fixed up and sold to one friend so I could buy a...
