    Stereo Install w/storage space THANKS Jeff Lange

    heck i might even just get a stock head unit if i can find one CD-compatible... what about the mounts? i just saw dylan's writeup and his had metal brackets that bolt to the stereo before you stick it in there... do i need those?

    Stereo Install w/storage space THANKS Jeff Lange

    mwaahahaha...i'm bringing this thread to life. I have no stereo equptment save for a power cable and this funny signal booster...so i need help figuring out what a 86.5 supra needs to mount a single DIN player, along with that storage space, and what stereo kit is good for the install. i...

    my charcoal canister is buzzing at me.

    lol...thanks guys! yeah...i have at least half a tank last time i checked...which was...a few months ago. i should have her started up within the next couple days, just got the head on and torqued to 60ft/lbs to settle...i'm trying to decide on what final torque to get to....w/out breaching...

    OK now that i'm putting it back together FINALLY...

    I am ready to bolt the head down. i've heard many different things about the proper torque, i'll probably go in torque sweeps of 5 and then 10ft/lbs each pass but i'm not sure where i'm going to stop yet. I'm using a toyota head gasket and the stock toyota bolts...NOT ARP so i dont want to...

    my charcoal canister is buzzing at me.

    mine will go away but randomly comes back. sometimes i wont hear it for a long time and then it does it again. i just dont understand how it is POSSIBLE that something would make noise after the car it is in has been unplugged from a battery, drained of oil, and has so many parts gone that i...

    my charcoal canister is buzzing at me.

    just as title... This struck me as curious because I've had my car down for a few months now and randomly i hear the charcoal canister making a faint buzzing sound, and just yesterday it did it again but this time really loud. what is going on?

    owning a 15yo car has made me cheap

    how is it different exactly? i'd imagine it has more HP and torque but does it at a higher RPM. i heard the 7m's dont like to rev much... and that our torque comes in quicker....i think. i want to test drive all the different engines. when at a supra meet...will other supra owners...

    i have an idea on how to play with the acis

    are you all talking about that little plunger type thing that has a metal stick that goes inside a metal spaceship shaped thing? um...lol....yeah. I was playing with the throttle with the engine off (key in on position) and at full throttle i hear a click...i went under the hood and i hear...

    odd temp gauge prob...opinions?

    maybe you have too much antifreeze in the mix? maybe. no clue other than that... i dont know if you can get a car to run too cold unless its in cold weather with that mix...

    owning a 15yo car has made me cheap

    "bad" 7m? looks clean. something wrong with that engine? or the tranny being an auto maybe? i need to research what the 1jz is like...heck i dont even know what a GTE is like. its a land of possibilities i haven't looked into yet (i figured it'd be too expensive for me anyhow) looks like...

    three wheeled car/bike hybrid

    lol. i cant wait until they start using vaccum areodynamics in racing. did you guys know that a properly engineered car traveling at high speeds could have such a low pressure underneath the car that it could drive upside down on a suspended raceway? THAT would be insane. I read that it's...

    Best Supra Wax

    is the clear coat only in one spot? if its a small spot you might be able to just sand and overlap one section. but if it were me i would sand the whole car and give it a fresh clearcoat. personally if i were serious about that i would go to a local pro paint shop and ask what to do, then go...
