    I have Eibach springs. I like the raked look better than the slammed look. Thanks for the Armorall idea!

    What Color is your Supra?

    No offense Dr.J but was Brown really a factory offered color? I always thought that your started out as a tan-two-tone with misc. other body parts thrown on to pass inspection. :kloguck:

    Welp...here I am....

    Yea Germany was awesome. I really liked Bavaria. It was some of the most gorgeous scenery I will probably ever see in my life. I really hope I will be able to make it back there before I die. Austria is awesome too, that whole region with the Alps is just awesome. I will post some pics when I...

    Mitsubishi Starion

    Thats kinda what I figured with them being so old. I was looking at some exhaust systems and the pricing wasnt too bad. The one Im looking at appears to have an upgraded FMIC. I haven't been able to pop the hood cause everytime I go to the house no one is home. Thanks man.

    Mitsubishi Starion

    I was out taking a drive this morning and noticed that someone near me has a Starion Turbo for sale. I stopped and looked it over as best I could it appears to be in good shape, the leather interior isn't all cracked and ripped like my Supras is and the body/paint isn't too bad either. I didn't...

    Welp...here I am....

    I made it home! And its a good feeling being home again! First thing I did? Drove the Supra to pick up my dog from the neighbors house! (after a complete fluid check and 3 min warm up time.) She idled a little funny to begin with but cranked over on the first try. I guess it helped that I had...

    fuel cut on 1 2 shift.

    Same thing happens to me and alot of people so I understand. Its just one more quirk of the Karmann Vortex mumbojumbo and a reason I'm thinking about going MAFT. I run in between 12psi and 13psi daily and you just gotta let off a little bit on the 1-2 shift. Also try this if you haven't already...

    Wide-Band o2 question.

    dangit...Check out Bishop's supra on www.ma70.com hes got that set up. The Emanage is a piggy back A/F controller like the SAFC but I think it can control ignition timing as well. (maybe...not too sure) The e-01 is an electronic boost controller that has a display screen. Since both units are...

    Hmm guess I will just save my money and get the Emanage with the e-01 ebc/display.

    Wide-Band o2 question.

    So pretty much just an accurate, but expensive gauge?

    Wide-Band o2 question.

    I've been looking at wide band o2 sensor systems and was wondering. Is a wideband system just a better way to monitor the A/F ratio so you can tweak it with a piggy-back computer(Emanage/SAFC)? Or can you control the A/F ratio with a wideband? Thanks guys. I was looking at em and just kinda...

    MK4 rear brakes installed!

    What are the benefits of switching to MKIV rear brakes? What size are the rotors? How many pistons for each caliper?
