    210 - 230 F water temps:(

    If you want to keep the radiator you have, get it checked to make sure it's not clogged in some passages, they tend to do that over the years. Try to keep the Toyota red coolant in the car if you can, and of course the fan shroud and undertray need to be in place.

    Problems to get a MHG

    You've done that much to your car and don't know how much HP you're making? You seriously need to get the car tuned this time when you fix the HG again. What is this? The 4th BHG? I'd say you need to be shopping around for a new head at the least, probably block also...

    speedo

    Bouncing is a good sign that it's on it's way out if you don't lube that bitch up, they don't like it dry ;). Do what ^ he said. To the OP, the bottom cable is the one that fails on the majority of our supras, plus it's easier to take out and check.

    Just got my MKIII Turbo supra!

    Lapping is something I don't recommend if you are going to use a MHG, better just pull the block to be on the safe side. Lapping is smoothing down the surface of the block to accept a MHG, but you MUST make sure it's the proper Roughness Average for the specific brand of gasket you go with, not...

    intercooler

    Unless you are shooting for +20 psi and +600 HP you're wasting your time with ANY IC piping over 2.5". You want to keep the flow as close as possible to critical velocity to be efficient. It's going to be hard to do that with 3" piping if you are daily driving the supra. 2.5" piping should keep...

    Ground Wire kits

    Like ^ he said, redo your "Big 3", those are the most important ones.

    Rear ended for the THIRD time this year :(

    Just hope she has insurance if that's what you were going to do. Seeing as she drove off like that makes you wonder...

    Nice car, but I would seriously finish the shaving job on the trim, it doesn't look right as it sits...

    Is an intercooler upgrade worth it?

    You can get a rebuilt CT upgraded to the 57 trim for a little under $700.00 at MDC in the vendor's section. To the post speaking of a 62-1 in a CT, that will shit out on you in no time, they are not reliable and are a waste of money when compared to how long they will last. I personally would...

    oil problem!!!

    No power washing EVER. Oil in the center of the cam covers is a good sign that the valve cover gaskets need to be replaced, no biggie there. Oil in the IC piping is normal, thank the +15 year old PCV system for that, goes the same for the accordian hose. Do basic maintenace first before any...
