Oxidization/thin paint showing the primer

Looks pretty damn good!

Doubtful to me that they're going to do much. Especially the whole ECU bit...

Hint: might want to pay attention to how long people have been here, how many posts they have, if they're staff, and their awards. i.e. way to flame someone that's been modifying cars before you were born And, with that, this thread is done.

There aren't any cheap mods to make power on the GE. Well, you can install a good nitrous kit, but nitrous is just another type of forced induction...

So far as I know, the only "plug and play" standalone is AEM (and it still requires modifying the harness and adding some stuff to go MAP). All standalones require quite a lot of tuning.

Need 550's to go with the lexus AFM.

Man, I dunno why you guys are talking about such low numbers. The MKIII was stacked against cars like the Porsche 944, while the MKIV was stacked against 911's IIRC. Go look at the price of a 911 ;)

Even the MKIV has bolts, it just has a safety catch to prevent it from flying off. The targa is stressed when it's on, so anything other than bolts isn't going to really work well, or be so big as to be obtrusive (I like my headroom thanks). T-tops rattle, my targa has never rattled ;)

You check pressure at the rail throught he cold start line. Or, you could open it and jump the terminals to see if you get any to come out. Testing the main feed (that goes to the dampener at the back) and the return (which goes to the fuel pressure regulator at the front) is the hard way...

Pressure regulator is on the return line, not feed. Could be the fuel filter, but it's usually not.

So far as I can remember, the Supra was more expensive than the vette, especially the MKIV. My main point was the Corvette is a pretty low bar in it's category, at least price and quality wise. Sure, it's performance is great, but it's not nearly as well made.

We don't do these threads here. If you want to know, just go race him and find out (on a drag strip of course)

Why on earth are you guys trying to compare it to a Corvette? The Corvette isn't the same class as the Supra at all. While the Corvette is a giant killer, it's not nearly as refined as it's betters, and the Supra was always about refinement.

17K? Really? You have no idea how much vehicles cost these days do you...

Roofline is intentionally designed to look like a baseball cap on backwards :)

NA cams don't add power. Honestly, if anything, they lower power as it chokes the top end where the turbo kicks in. Why do you think Toyota changed the cam (only intake) in the first place? While it's possible to do, you're on the ragged edge of the stock CT wheel just blowing hot air...

If he popped the pipe clean off, it won't idle at all :)

Downshift + boost + sitting for 2 years = popped intercooler pipe At least my guess :)

Here, I'll answer your question. You have a BHG. Your valve stems seals are definately gone at 200K miles. Period. Your piston rings are more than likely worn out with 200K miles. BHG contamination will just make them worse. If you keep driving it, your already well worn bottom end is going...
