    Is Supra right for me?

    The maintenance isn't anything out of the ordinary really. These are old cars and they are cars that were designed to be driven, as such most of the examples have a good deal of miles on them and in most cases those were not easy miles. Almost any car this old with this many miles will need just...

    Is Supra right for me?

    It's a wonderful car to own and even better to drive. 4K will get you into a decent MKIII (our generation Supra if you didn't know) however it will place you behind the curve. More of your time and money will be spent chasing maintenance than enjoying the drive. This usually burns newcomers out...

    So Pretty Much I Cant Wait For GT5.......

    And this is what they keep trying to feed us. Honestly I'm getting tired of waiting, and I'm a big GT fan. At this point it's been hyped so much for so long I don't see how it's going to live up to it.

    DECELERATION - Clutch ENGAGED or NOT?

    I don't remember for sure on the 7M but on my 2JZ it cuts fuel on decel if the throttle is closed and the engine is above 1500 rpm. Once the RPM's drop below 1500 you can hear the fuel kick back on by a sudden change in the exhaust note and the wideband coming back online.

    DECELERATION - Clutch ENGAGED or NOT?

    Yeah I'm the other way around, Brakes are a necessary from of waisting energy. They take the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle and convert through friction into heat, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere. It is a waste of energy, though they have to be used. So I use them only as...

    DECELERATION - Clutch ENGAGED or NOT?

    Umm.... The engine cuts fuel when you use it to decel via engine braking. If you put it in neutral it continues to idle and consume fuel. Taking it out of gear is counterproductive to conserving fuel. But is I suppose fuel conservation is weak ground to establish a point with these cars anyways...

    DECELERATION - Clutch ENGAGED or NOT?

    I prefer to keep the drivetrain engaged as much as possible encase I need it. Besides, the engine cuts fuel on decel so I can get a few extra miles out of the tank.

    402,000 mile supra

    Pretty cool. further proof that the reliability of equipment has a great deal to do with how well it's maintained. This guy managed to get a mustang to 230,000 miles as well.

    horn noise from intake

    Do you have the stock bypass valve, or do you have an aftermarket BOV? If it's stock its a good chance your bypass valve is opening slightly at part throttle. It tends to make a low horn sound at part throttle under load. At least mine did.

    where are 2j's available?

    Getting the gauge to work isn't a big deal. You'll need the oil pressure sender from the 7M, and the adapter from driftmotion. http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-1jzoilpressuresenderadapterhose.php Twenty bucks will give you the piece of mind offered from seeing you have oil pressure when...

    Airbag fail

    It looks like and investigation was initiated on those cars for inadvertent air bag deployment, but the case was close in October of 1994. Nothing ever came of it.

    !!!!!???what in the hell kind of blow off valve is that???!!!!

    That's what I've heard too. Probably something like the way the Toyota Celica st185's didn't have any of that sort of equipment either.

    Intake Air Temp sensor placement question

    Indeed, temp can vary greatly. In a speed density setup the computer needs to know exactly what temperature is going in to the cylinders, this combined with pressure data from the map sensor give the air density of the intake charge. And this gives the volume of air expected inside the cylinder...

    Block Prep

    The OP hasn't gotten back so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he is weighing his responsible choices. As far as the original question goes Metal head gaskets require an extremely low RA (roughness average) HKS is usually in the 10 to 20 area depending on HG type. These are...

    most commonly used tools on supra

    I keep a basic set of swivel ratcheting wrenches 10,12,14,17. And a small set of metric 1/4 drive wrenches, a handful of zip ties and a roll of electrical tape. It's a tool set that can take care of the largest amount of problems with the smallest foot print. Anything that requires more than...
