    Graduating High School what should I buy as a present to myself?

    Regardless of what he wants to do, that piece of paper will always yield more than a GED/HS diploma equivalent

    Graduating High School what should I buy as a present to myself?

    Turbo timer? IMO a waste of money. My turbo isnt water cooled, so if I was dumb, maybe... Regardless, I use it as a joke on people all the time. If nothing else, you can justify it as a joke. For example, this is how I do it with my family: take the key out and stare at it with an exasperated...

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    Meaningful is a generic term. Fuck you :biglaugh: I thought the one pic I had already had the needles back on. They are on now and I'm confident they are close to what they were, but I still have more work to do. To be honest, I didnt think I'd be able to put them over the stock ones. I figured...

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67725 I didnt think guiding the faces off around the dial would work well, so I ended up taking them off. The old faces were stuck on tight! They are back on now and I'm fairly confident they are close to where they were, if not spot on. woo...

    Orion's plans for the summer

    I'm in the process of installing the gauge faces now. With the setup I have, I decided I was best off having a lot of the wires and connectors outside the gauge cluster instead of inside. I'm not a fan of bending the contacts more than necessary, and I just feel better with the slack hanging...

    Graduating High School what should I buy as a present to myself?

    Fuck yeah +1 to mechanical engineering! I think the hardest part for me will be my first two years (starting the second in fall) as I dont get any engineering classes till junior year. I will say that theres little else out there thats better for these cars after all necessary maintenance (and...

    better gas mileage?

    Propane will also get worse without fuel-specific tuning and the build.

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    Not going to mess with the oil pressure gauge, just putting a new face on it. Its not broken, so I'm not going to fix it; I only fear I may break things when putting these new faces on. I dont have a thermostatically controlled e-fan setup. I suppose if I wanted to, since the car was originally...

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    Sorry for the lack of clarification. I dont have TEMS actuators on my car; pretty sure the previous owner went aftermarket with the strut and spring. As such, the only thing my TEMS button does is turn on the second LED. As was stated, I'm only using it as an on/off switch. I'm intrigued by the...

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    So. How do I do it? I searched around and checked the TSRM to no avail. See, years ago, I bought some ricer reverse glow gauges on eBay and they look badass when lit up. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to remove the needles on the stock gauges to replace the face plates with my uber...

    better gas mileage?

    Notice how I'm editing my post rather than making a new one. This was my intention all along. Therefore, my post count is not added to unnecessarily and I remember to revisit the thread. E85 will get worse mileage, as last I checked, stoich was 9:1 and it has less BTUs. However, because of its...

    Saw a MKIII at an autocross today! w/ a few pics

    +1 for the hood. I just recently designed a revised version of my old hood I thought up years ago, and it has a cool reverse vent like that

    VGT turbo

    One thing I despise about Benz's are that they now use exclusively V6 engines. Fuck that. Also they are difficult to work on, whereas BMWs are a piece of cake. Otherwise they are a good company; the Dodge Sprinter is just a rebadged M-B with a Merc diesel, plus Merc owns a few different semi...

    Reusable Oil Filter

    Probably not till its cheaper/easier to mass produce :icon_razz

    Front Facing Intake manifold Shapes what do you like?

    The only thing I dont like about square is that it doesnt look "stock" or "factory" at all. So long as the performance difference is marginal (which I'm sure it is) I'd prefer whichever is cheaper and easier to make

    r154 leaking

    Just wanted to say that this isnt true at all :icon_bigg Its similar to regular engine oil in viscosity. I'm not certain the specific use of bigger numbers to differentiate it from engine oil, but it does have its own standards to follow. Notice the similarities between the crankcase and...

    Post what makes your Supra unique, i.e. Custom Parts / Fabrication / Rare Pieces?

    Supramad I LOVE your interior! I have those same gauges; first purchase for my car I think, but I just havent put them in yet. They look SOO MUCH better in person when they're turned on. Do you have any tips for me for installation? Steering wheel is hot and unique too. CarPC = win. Also, this...

    Another Supra Pic (Stock Gauge Cluster)

    That really looks pretty. Only time I've ever second thought putting these reverse glow gauges of mine in. Its less "classic, 80s, stock" and more "my personal taste, myself in the car." I've thought about that from time to time whenever I mod something. Changing what it was to something...
