    ***The Teal Supras Thread***

    Yeah, thanks for taking the wind out of my sails :( But the tow hooks thing was bothering me so I checked my old pictures from before the car was painted and the tow hooks were teal back then. I know the car isn't perfect, but I wasn't going to spend $5000 on a paint job for a car that's isn't...

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    Nope, my Camry is my 30 mpg+ daily driver. The Supra is my sunny day and weekend car. This is about the stupidest thing I've heard. It's not feasible for most Americans to have no vehicle, it's simply a necessity. I'll be glad when there's less behemoth 4x4's on the road (for everyone's...

    R-154/w58

    A quick search would have probably netted you the answer: the R154 was mated to the turbo engine, the W58 was mated to the non-turbo engine. The A340e was the automatic used in both, however the internals were stronger in the turbo version.

    ***The Teal Supras Thread***

    Exhaust is custom built by my brother, with ultimate performance in mind. I don't care for the huge-ass canisters hanging off the back of the car. The mouldings come painted from the factory (Or do you mean the lettering? I think it looks good painted but may repaint the lettering sometime in...

    post pictures of your exhaust!!!!!!!!!

    Here's some really old pictures of my exhaust, but it hasn't changed since we built it. Becauseican DP (old style) -> 3" high-flow cat -> Borla straight-through muffler. edit: wow, so much has changed since then! Repaint, 2 transmissions (another auto, now a 5-speed), new wheels and tires.

    Update, new wheels and now a 5-speed transmission. I'd like to think that many people on here would kill for this car now :)

    Tems SWAP

    Maybe if you made a more descriptive subject line people would check your thread. "tems" really doesn't say much. I can't help you with your question, unfortunately :(

    Does any one use a Random Technology hi flow cat?

    I wouldn't pay any more than you have to for a cat. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CTO%2D6907&N=700+115&autoview=sku Here's the one I bought, and I guess that the price in metals being higher nowadays correlates with it now being $60.

    I have a Catco 3" hi-flow cat, passes emissions testing (or used to when I had to submit to it) and provides great flow, no issues whatsoever.

    The thing I hate the most about supras/my supra is.......

    This is the best! I rev the motor, look at the other guy, the light goes green... and I putter off at a reasonable speed while he makes himself look like a jackass.

    Also reduces road noise, the main reason they put them on there. I've still got mine.

    The thing I hate the most about supras/my supra is.......

    Worked like a charm. You don't have to crank the shit out of it, just lightly tip it up an in or so.

    The thing I hate the most about supras/my supra is.......

    Put a jack (even a scissor jack) under the crank pulley with a block of wood (about a foot long 2x4 works well) and jack the front end of the motor up. The rear will dip downwards and make it much easier to get to those bolts. Probably bad starter contacts, mine did that too until I replaced...

    Torque Plate?

    Rich, where do you live? B&W was in my old hometown of Barbertucky, I figure you're probably pretty close if you were working with B&W and Timken.
