I have some large gaps in the hole of my trunk around the fuel cell I installed. I want to cover those holes up. What guage of sheet metal do you guys recommend? I was thinking 18Ga should be fine. Any idea on how to help seal up gap between the fuel cell and it's mounting frame? Maybe...

I have a 15 gallon ATL fuel cell in my Supra. It is not feasible for me to use a factory level sender. Looking at the TSRM, the resistance range for the stock sender is 4(+-1)-110(+-7.7)ohms. ATL does not sell a sender in that range. However ATL does sell a "GM" range sender. That sender...

Well, I can get a fan on EBay for about $35.00 shipped... Plus I have no idea where junkyards are around here. I'm at school in ND.

Really guys, I appreciate the responses. However I think some of these ideas are over kill. Anything comparable to a stock F-body or 'vette setup should be more than enough as i have a larger, aluminum radiator. Also, I plan on "ducting" the front of the radiator like you might see on a lot of...

My friend had a 7MGTE power Cressida. He no longer has but I bet if you ask me nicely I have all your info ;).

LOL, i'd agree with you if I didn't have my ME classes to think about. Between school, work, sex, and general life I have no time to spare.

I understand what you are saying and I will take it to heart. However I do still want to hear others' experience.

I am looking for an electric fan setup for my LS6/T56 setup. I have a huge radiator. I don't remember the dimensions but it barely fits between both frame rails. It also barely fits from the top of the original radiator to the bottom of the front subframe and is 3" thick. I don't need any...

That is true. It's worth about 100lbs off the front end. You also get over 300lb/ft of torque at around 2000RPMs. Then again it is not a simple swap. There is definitly fabrication involved if you want to do it right. One thing I hate about threads like this are people posting telling you...

I do not beleive the original poster asked about how big of a difference there is between aluminum and steel. He asked for the best solution given his current situtation. I think most people would agree a one-off aluminum shaft is comparable in price to a steel shaft. If we want we can go...

Yeah, exactly. 5 pounds counts alot when you multiply it by the rear-end ratio. Especially when it's a drivetrain inertia value. I doubt you save much money with a 1-piece aluminum shaft vs. a steel shaft. The steel shaft will likely weigh a little more.

Can't recall who makes the carbon fiber shafts. From what I do recall, they cost about $800.00USD. Aluminum is $400.00 or less if you go to the right place. Obviously carbon fiber is the best choice on the market when it comes to racing.

Had my Supra for 5 years now. Bought it with a 7M-GTE in it. It did not have an EGR system then. Still has no EGR system with my LS6. Doubt it makes a noticeable power difference but certainly doesn't hurt power production. The most noticeable aspect is freeing up space to work on the car with.

Might I add LS1 Camaros and Firebirds have aluminum driveshafts? My LS6 Supra also has an aluminum driveshaft from a Camaro, shortened of course.

Aluminum should be strong enough. It will be lighter than steel as well which is good for many reasons. a 3.5" diameter aluminum with standard wall thickness (1/8"ish?) should be plenty. It's good enough for 750hp+ 509CID past 170mph, 3000lb cars.

Those headers are really nice. I especially like the "tri-y" design. Looks like I know who to go when I want tubular headers for my LSX.

I would have some videos if I had or knew someone who had a video camera. As far as pictures go, the car doesn't really look much different now than it did 6 months ago. That and I am actually living about 5.5hrs from my Supra now, as school is back in session. I should be putting some...

All of the brackets supporting and attaching the urethane bumper to the car. Mine are in horrible shape, broken and rusted really bad. Someone else has to have ran into this problem.

What is everyone doing about replacement bumper brackets? Are they still available from Toyota? Does anyone have a good solution to custom ones? I got a different bumper cover as my old one was crap. The brackets from both bumpers are in horrible condition. I am looking for an easy, cheap...

Well, there haven't been many updates. I drove the Supra some more after getting new tabs. I forgot I didn't have a hood latch and didn't strap the hood down. The hood smashed into the windshield at about 60mph. I have another hood to put on it and the windshield is fixed. Overall I am...
