    What makes my car do this.

    I'd definitely check the differential. One Supra we worked on bucked like a bronco till the diff was changed out.

    Finished my battery relocation with cutoff switch and fuel pump rewire (PICS)

    I don't know anything about wiring, so it sure looked good to me. Jetjock would you be kind enough to make a diagram of the way you'd design it? (you could make a sticky...) I'd like to relocate my battery as well. But after this discussion, I'd sure like a schematic from a pro.

    Ross Piston Clearance without Torque Plate

    Using Ross's here, no torque plate. 5 thou. clearance, no coatings. Minor slapping when its cold. Once its warm its golden.

    Help Please....

    The barrel holders are not the same for the two tails. Iirc there is a plastic holder that secures the locking cylinder to the clips on the '89+'s and its different for the 86.5's - '88's. I just use the release on the floor on mine, as the cylinder never did work too well (it just spins as its...

    Blue MK3 inspiration

    Don't have a pic, but another stock Toyota color is: Baltic Blue Pearl. I'm not sure if its MK III or MKIV, but it's gorgeous as well. I think the code is 8S3 iirc. My stock color right now is Dk. blue pearl on my '88T. 8E3 is the code on that one.

    Rod Bearings on a BHG GTE

    New pumps, timing belt, and balance the bottom end. Flow check the injectors before re-using. I'd change the fuel pump and filter as well. Pressure check the coolant system while you're at it. might as well change the clutch since you're in there.

    My FiveSpeed Swapperoo Quest-ions

    # 8 is just a holder that wraps around the wires that run from the tranny to the engine. Perhaps the speedo cable as well.

    92 supra floor mats

    Not sure about stock mats, but you can get just about any new color combo you want. If I remember correctly they're about $125.00 for fronts. Sorry I can't remember the name of the co., but I'm sure someone on here will chime in.

    engine replacement

    I'd spend the money on a rebuild as well. As long as you have a good hookup for the machine work, it gives a further edge in reliability I think. Its a lot of work, but like other members have mentioned, you'll know whats in there. I'd also pay attention to the rods, ARP fasteners and...

    Hooking up an AFPR

    I just bought a used Aeromotive 13109. It has four ports and a gauge outlet. Supposedly the two side ones are inlet/outlet, the back one is bypass and the bottom one is return. It came with a feed line and a line that was supposed to bypass the fpd. Just no installation instructions. I pulled...

    Hooking up an AFPR

    Can anyone help me with an "idiots guide to AFPR installation"? I bought a used one but didn't get any install directions with it. It obviously isn't rocket science but I seem to be having problems. Apparently you can discard the FPD with this unit, but some install directions would be a great...
