    When to change or recalibrate speedo gear

    You can't change the speedometer gearing AFAIK. You MIGHT be able to if there is a drive and driven gear that will fit, but I don't know if such a thing exists - if it did, it'd be WAY more work than you'd want to do.

    Lexus AFM and 550's

    The controversy typically comes from people who have never actually tried it. When I bolted on just the AFM (no other changes) to see what happens, the ECU essentially compensated for it and A:F ratios hardly changed at all. It also cancelled out the benefit of the AFM as well. It it 'splodes...

    I hate the wheels too... if that makes you feel any better. ;)

    Using a wideband for a stock o2 sensor?

    Sounds like a side effect of the Lex AFM to me.

    Fuel pressure stays when car is off / no "J" tube.

    I wouldn't be concerned as long as it operates normally while the car/pump is running.

    Fuel pressure stays when car is off / no "J" tube.

    As long as it's regulating properly while in use (ie not somehow jammed shut) you should be grateful, not suspicious. FYI, my A1000-6 & Walbro 255HP hold more than 2.5kg/cm2 and although I've never timed it for how long it holds; saying they shouldn't hold pressure is bogus. More likely then...

    cam bolt sequence

    It's all listed in the manual. http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/ Whats scary is that you made it this far without reading a single bit of it. LOL.

    FAILed Inspection

    Looking at about $400 each from Toyota now. You should find out if the bushings are trashed or if it is the ball joints before you buy new UCAs.

    Pre 89 Wing? Wingless? or Whaletail?

    IMO it's really close between whale tail and the 89+ stock wing. Since your option is whale tail - I'd go with that. I think it looks more like it belongs if you have one or two other minor body tweaks as well.

    Running a 7M without the Coolant By-pass Tube

    Welp, there you go, you may want to leave it alone if you're worried about icing up.

    Running a 7M without the Coolant By-pass Tube

    Honestly I'm not sure. Pure speculation: It somehow improved emissions, or they found some benefit to keeping the TB/ISC at the same temp as the coolant (perhaps in extremely cold environments). Someone else may be able to give a more definitive answer. Personally, I bypassed it when I was in a...

    Running a 7M without the Coolant By-pass Tube

    Yep, when the temp is turned all the way down the flow valve closes completely - so it shouldn't be an issue I don't think. You can run a bypass tube to eliminate the circuit through the ISC/TB without issue as well, but I don't think capping off the ports on the engine are a good idea for this...

    Is German Castrol really going the way of the dinosaur?

    Looks to me like some very old batch they threw up there, it doesn't seem to even remotely match the other bottles.

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    Finally got around to trying a couple different ECUs, one was clearly fucked, but the other passed the diag checks fine and presented with the same problem. So, I'm at a loss again, I may re-install the tail light failure box for shits and giggles at some point but right now I think I may be...

    cruise control

    BTW, I should note if the CC flashes when it gets cancelled then it should store a "type b" code which will give you an idea of the issue more quickly/easily.

    Oil cooler relocation

    As far as I can tell DM doesn't even sell a Spearco IC. I used one for a while, a REAL one, and did not have to relocate the oil cooler to install it.

    Oil cooler relocation

    You don't need to relocate for a Spearco IC.
