    Electrical Problem

    I was hooking up a new boost gauge, and I tried to splice the wires for the light into the cigerette lighter like I heard from reading other threads. Not only does the light not work, but now somehow my tail lights, fog lights, and the rest of my gauge lights don't work. I must have shorted...

    Need interior paint code

    I wanted to paint a gauge pod cluster to match my interior (dark grey) and was wondering if anyone knew the paint code or where to find it. I tried searching and found a couple of links but they didn't work anymore. Any help would be great.

    I was thinking of taking off my cat and just putting a straight pipe in the place. Would the power gain be significant. Has anyone does this, and if so was it a good idea?

    power steering pumps

    My power steering pump called it quits, and I need a replacement. Anyone have one for sale. Also could someone confirm if the 2jz pump is the same, and if so is the installation the exact same as well. Thanks.

    performance chips

    I was looking on ebay today and seen a number of very inexpensive (~$30) performance chips that basically consist of a simple resistor that connect directly to the stock ECU with no soldering or anything. These manufacturers are claiming horsepower gains of up to 30 horse power. They also...

    Oil filter for 1JZ-GTE

    I have recently purchased a 1JZ-GTE supra from Japan, and I was wondering what oil filters I should use. Do these need to be imported, or tracked down here, or can I use something else that would work, possibly a 2JZ filter. If someone could inform me that would be great. Thanks.
