Anyone ever put a racing seat like one of these in a supra, if so what whas your impression http://www.ultrashieldrace.com/thumbs.php?cat=Road+Race+Seats

I was thinking in the same vein, I would like to fill in the moulding groove around the body. It would be interesting to design a new front and rear bumber and side skirts that used the mould groove to mount.

Looking into crystal ball and seeing sometime in the future a turbo upgrade for my 1JZ powered supra. I'm really not sure what my target HP would be. I do know how I plan to use my supra. I don’t anticipate using it in Drag racing. It is destined to be my autocross and even possibly road race...

Perhapse a custom cam cover with see through windows so we can see and adjust our ajustable cams without removing the cover ?

I've seen it called the museum light

Was talking with Eric VanCleef who runs a shop and has raced for toyota in the Grand-Am and goody's dash series ( nascar series for smaller cars for those unaware) he has run MKIV Supras and Celicas. This next season he is going to run TWO Lexus IS300 in the Grand-Am ST class. If evrything goes...

My sentiments exactly, I hope when the dust begins to settle and the truth becomes apparent that the media will be forced to eat crow

If there are any finacial type people here they can probalbly coroberate this since all I have to go on is the economics for engineers class. Most people make the mistake of including what they have already spent on a project when considering and making a current decision. They are called sunk...

Get your bills out ? :icon_bigg , If you have a dremel with cutoof wheel you can do what the cracker is going to do. Just have to be carfull not to damage threads. g-luck

About Twice a month when I had a Car to run. After my Supra's engine died in battle, apparently it started to rattle during a Autocross run half way through, though I did not hear it as I was in the Zone. Everyone elso around the track was apperently winceing. When I completed the run and let...

When my supra was healthy and running I loved to Autocross it. The car is abolutly a blast to drive, throttle response crisp and addicting. During one of my runs I was approached by someone who wanted To ride with me. I said sure. Ran a respectable time of about 1 minute and 15 seconds. After...

I've been known to listen to everything from Sara Brightman to Manowar. Then there was a great band from nashville the Evinrudes. Love that icelandic chic Bjork(pronounced yerk) I dont like music that is just some guy yelling and grunting. Though I do like a little kmfdm evrynow and then. ALso a...

Well first you find a willing cat and then some milk... :biglaugh: seriously though its the process of removing high spots on a flat surface by moving another sacrifical flat plate across a surface with an abrasive medium between them. This site has a good description...

Wont this only occur when the cam timing marks align with there time marks? What you can do is remove the spark plug from the head and use the old straw trick or whatever you can find that is long and strait and not likely to break off in the cylinder. Rotate the engine and the piston will...

There are some problems of apples and such when comparing reliability. On the mechanical side, the supra is a performance machine and so is more likely to be driven HARD. The get to work on Monday and church on Sunday Camry is not likely to be driven hard. There is also the problem of just plain...

I thought that I took enough pictures to figure out the vacuum hose routing. :dunno: however I doent think mine came with routing correct. One of the turbos' had its waste gate hose blocked off. Each turbo has a waste gate actuator right? where do these attach ? directly to the port at the...

Well You need Fuel and fire to get what you desire :icon_razz Like they said check for spark(fire), check that the fuel pump is working(fuel) if your getting these then start looking for disconnected sensors. may check timing? Hopefully its somthing stupid like a sensor connecter that...

Would it be nice if we could find the Japanese equivalent of AutoZone online :)

I have talked to several mechanics. They have told me that toyota oil pump falures are almost unheard of. buuutt! Oil pumps arent that expensive and how much does peace of mind cost thesedays anyhow? If you dont replace Oil pump clean throughly and pack with grease , this primes the pump. The...

I have played both extensively and have researched specs on both. They both come with respective strengths and also weakness. My friend actually owns Japanese market PS2 and he bought GT4 before it was available stateside. Hard to guess menus when in japanese. The physics engines on both are...
