    Would these rims be race or rice?

    I agree, I think it'd look terrific lowered just a bit and kept mostly as is. Not crazy about the tiny sidewalls, but then again I've learned to appreciate having a little extra rubber for cruising Try not to let other people influence your decisions when it comes to taste though..then you'll...

    picked up a dirt cheap supra

    Quoted for truth. Found this out the hard way. Good luck with the swap though, I think its a great drivetrain for those trucks!

    Slotted rotors

    No kidding, now the manufacturers yell at you to make sure you're getting the right pads for your application :P

    Original CT26 or a "GT45"? What would be a better choice for a 7M-GTE?

    As airhead said, you really have to be weary about eBay deals. Remember, mod cheap mod twice. It's entirely possible that all of the parts will work just fine and work together...however it is much more likely that you'll have installation troubles or a dead turbo. The gaskets are often...

    Slotted rotors

    Centric rotors are made as a cheaper alternative to StopTechs, as are Power Slots. I'm not sure where theyre made or anything, but I'm sure theyre still a good bet. As far as EBC Greenstuffs, they are supposed to be the OEM replacements, and redstuff is meant for track duty. I have greenstuffs...

    Orion's plans for the summer

    Holy shit! Orion has an update?! Unheard of! Okay, so I recently got the chance to grab some parts off of an E32 ('93 740i) before it gets sent to the junkyard. A BMW friend of mine wanted the headlights for his car, so we took those...and looked at what else we could grab. Taillights...

    Which spark plug wires to use when mounting the coil packs on the firewall?

    I personally wouldnt move it away further than the firewall. That's a fairly convenient place for it if you dont like the stock location; but anything intake manifold related would just clutter it more and probably be even more of a nuisance really

    Catch can from other vehicles

    I dont know why, but it's only been mentioned once or twice before, and I think maybe just one guy tried it. It's really a great idea, and IIRC, some non-Supra guys with turbos have ripped Volvo catch cans off and used them on their cars. I plan on doing this in the future.

    Mushy brake pedal only with engine running

    Air bubbles can be extremely annoying and a PITA to get out. You might end up going through a ton of brake fluid just to get a tiny bit of air out. Also, the test of if a brake booster is good or bad is to push in the brakes while the engine is off...keep your foot on the pedal. Start the...

    Using fuel filter in oil system?

    I like Suprarich's idea. You'll most likely see little to nothing with it though, as long as you're using a quality oil filter.

    Are all wide band sensors consumable?

    I've read that outside of leaded fuel, excessive heat is one of the quickest ways to kill a sensor. Almost every modded car I see has the wideband right after the turbo, at or near the stock location. The AEM kit I bought says to have the sensor a couple feet down stream from the turbo for a...

    fresh rebuild slight problem

    There's no way the valves would be hitting the pistons with stock cams. 7Ms are non-interference, as are almost all Toyota engines. The play-doh idea is a good technique though...and as you've learned, it's not always easy to hand turn an engine by yourself. As long as everything is oiled fine...

    My feature on Fatlace

    Was this car at the 2005 Tampa Supra meet? I remember seeing one very similar on my way there...I went in my black 86 Corolla GT-S and was trying to show my MkIII shirt, but was busy driving so I just gave the thumbs up

    Which spark plug wires to use when mounting the coil packs on the firewall?

    Yeah his link has a better set. I think you'd want a 90* from the coilpack, but no bend from the spark plug, which is what that has. I'm not entirely sure that they'll fit in the coilpacks to be honest, since we have a pretty thick rubber boot connection there, but it's worth a shot. As a...
