    Should I retrofit to r134a? or is r12 possible?

    well my ac has never been recharged, My A/C does get cool, But not as cool as i'de prefer. I work at a Ford Dealership, so someone said they could retrofit it for me and charge it with r134a. I'de be happy with it being a little cooler than it is now. Once i drive for over 30min it starts to...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Yeah, I don't want my car to suffer so much with a 3.73... I wonder if i could find someone who could just possibly put a Wider gear for 5th in my transmission so i could have good acceleration but good gas milage in 5th gear...

    Should I retrofit to r134a? or is r12 possible?

    My A/C has not been up to par over this summer, And i think my A/C is low on r12... I can retrofit to r134a, but i'm worried that it's not going to be as cold as full system charge of r12.... I can get the retrofit kit at O'reilly for $25... I don't have a clue on what to do, Maybe u guy's...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    I'm gonna give it a go none the less, If i don't like it, i have my 4.30 sittin in my garage.. or i could try the 3.93 rear end. The 4.30 is WAY to short... going down the highway in 5th at 3500 .. your mid power band if u nail it ur gonna get pushed in the seat, and that's unnecessary for gas...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    lol, I have a daily driver, it's a Del Sol, Extremely gay, but i managed 40mpg... I love driving my supra alot more. I think a 3.73 is going to be as Wide as i would wanna go. My friends got a Crown Victoria with a 4.6L V8 and it's got a 2.73 i'm guessing.... and he can get 28mpg... My supra...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    I'm totally going to do the swap, But i was wondering if there is anything wider than a 3.73 that would be swapable? I'm willing to play around with this, lol...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    yeah, i thought about it, but it would cost WAY to much for little or no gain. I really want a 3.73 rear end so i can get the revs lower in town and on the highway, I'm getting 20mpg right now, in the city, Don't know what highways like but i'm sure it's over 20.... With a 3.73 i'm hoping for...

    Cold Start Drivability/ Hesitation and backfire

    well, I'm getting No codes, and it does the eact same thing, Absolutely no power while warming up, after it warms up, it runs great. Also i've noticed my coolant light coming On and Off several times during warm up, but after it's warmed up it Goes away?

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    well 3.73s top of 5th is 165mph. It's not like i'll ever be going that fast, i just wanna get the rpms down for better mpg, I'm sure the supra could power itself with 3.73s just fine, It's a torquey powerful engine, I've even see ppl pull ski du's with their supra.

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    I've been using this site to figure out mph/ rpm ratio with the different rear end gearing... http://www.f-body.org/gears/ I wonder if someone on here has a 3.90 lsd for sale or trade....

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Yeah it's amazing how Chevrolet built the C6 Z06 to get 28MPG highway, lol, NO gas guzzlers tax.. on a car that has 505hp and 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds or something, I know it's under 4 seconds.

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Well i'm very happy with my supra now that i have a good working afm, and so far i'm noticing about 20mpg City, which is amazing since my driving habits have not been good, I might be able to get more if i drive right. I really want long gears, i'm so sick of my Short gears.

    Can anyone find a 1 piece ebay driveshaft?

    i don't know i care enough, at low rpms right now theres like grinding sound coming from my center bearing, i know it's gone, I just want it to be smoother at low rpm, right now it's plently smooth at high rpm, Im getting a drive shaft that's in good shape for $70 shipped, later i might go 1 piece.
