-:|Update - 2010-11-05|:- Today I started with changing the spark plugs, the old ones did not look good at all. They had been in the car for at least 2 years. Then I got a nice phone call :) It was a person I have been trying to reach for a while because he had a rear harness that he...

-:|Update - 2010-11-02|:- Today I wanted to torque the drive axles, but to be able to do that I needed to bleed the brakes. This was all done thanks to my girlfriend who steped on the brake pedal. To torque the drive axles I first torqued it all the torque wrench could do and after that...

-:|Update - 2010-11-01|:- The exhaust is now ready to be installed. I had to cut off two studs when I removed it. The studs hold an exhaust hanger to the exhaust so I installed it with the welder. A weld for one of the heat shields was broken so I re-welded that. I also installed some...

-:|Update - 2010-10-27|:- Today I installed the rear suspension arms and drive shafts. I still need to torque the nuts and bolts. Yesterday I picked up a set of stock rims with winter tires(studs) from a member on a swedish supra forum. These will come in handy right away since one of...

-:|Update - 2010-10-24|:- Time to do something about the rear, so I rolled it with the same paint I used inside the car and on all the other red parts that I have painted. The roller was supposed to work with all kinds of paint but after a coat or two it started sticking a bit to the...

-:|Update - 2010-10-23|:- Today I installed the final piece in the brake system, a new pipe from the ABS unit to the front right wheel house and from that a new brake hose. Pictures: A new brake line for front right brake Brake hose installed

The problem was that I had forgotten to connect a connector near the ECU. Problem solved. Thanks for your help guys.

hvyman, I guess you were right about the boost gauge. Another supra guy confirmed what you said. I did the test where you disconnect the connector from the pressure sensor = the gauge shows maximum reading, ground terminal 2 and the needle should go to minimum reading. My gauge behaved like it...

thank you, I'll have a look while I'm in the garage tomorrow. Any other ideas are appreciated.
