Automatics are the way to go when drag racing. Even more so with a turbo car. You can build boost off the line, perhaps even peak boost and you do not lose any boost between shifts.

True, but I mean taking the eibach springs and keeping the front just as stiff, but making the rear stiffer. You know what I mean?

I have been wondering why all the springs for our cars provide a MUCH stiffer front spring than a rear. True, a softer rear promotes traction better while launching. I do feel the front should be stiffer than the rear on most cars. A stiff front end seems to promote understeer. My roommate...

The LS6 going in will have a stock 02-04 cam, stock Z06 heads, stock Z06 intake manifold, long tube headers probably from TPiS, 3" exhaust, K&N intake filter, little bit more compression and a good tune. When I say ~450hp I mean probably less, but not much less. I expect atleast 430hp at the...

I am of course storing the Supra. I also plan on stripping it out for the most part and making sheet aluminum dash and door panels. Hope to be around 3k pounds without me in it. I am also getting rid of the 7M and swapping in a ~450hp forged internals LS6 with a T56 6-Speed. So in the...

I do not understand why people knock the V8 conversion ideas. Personally, I plan on a ~430hp LS1/LS6 in my Supra in the next year. Fact is, the LS1 is lighter than the 7M with the turbo and intercooler. The LS1 is also a 5.7L V8, much better low-end torque and throttle response. And for my...

Sounds like blwon turbo oil seals to me.

Do not cut corners with any kind of work. Drop the fucking tank and put the new pump in. You have already bought it. But, out of curiousity, how much rwhp are you making? The stock pump is only good for so much... Maybe 300rwhp according to some.

What headlight bubls did you go with? Is the fuse blown? You may have a short to ground causing the headlight fuse to blow.

Good to hear man. Nothing better than to know someone is keeping their Supra in good mechanical condition. However, as far as a grand entrance is concerned, you are probably wrong. My Supra can hang with a 370rwhp 300zx TT and I consider it SLOW. So no offense, but your car is not fast, but...

People seem to think 7Ms are slow by first impression. You have to understand that turbo cars need to be launched differently. Did you brake boost your Supra? If you did you most likely should have smoked that demio. If not, then you need to learn to drive them 7M before knocking it. If you...

I am a little into drifting, my roomate used to go to drift events with his 240sx. He is a damn good driver. He ran -5* of camber up front and -2* in back with some stiff ass suspension and a two-way LSD. Personally, I know about drifting a Supra a bit. If I was you, I would get a stiffer...

a +36 offset on a Supra SUCKS. I run a set of 17x9 cobra r wheels with a +36mm offset and they stick in too deep. I have another set that was PERFECT, 17x9 cobra Rs with a +24mm offset. Oh, BTW I run 17x9 all around with 255/40-17 all around as well. Why run a 235? I am also lowered and rub...

You said it man, torque is awsome. So I guess noone has really done this swap? I think it will be awsome, if someone can help me get an LS1 and tranny and ecu by like telling me if they know of one for sale I would be grateful.

I have lately been thinking about dropping an LS1 engine and Tremec T56 into my Supra. I do love the 7M and have mostly been against V8s, but I have gotten over it. The 7M just does not give me the torque I want in the lower RPMs. I have heard that a couple people have put V8s in the MKIII...

Swapping the rear subframe and diff is a peice of cake. You can have the whole subframe assembly off in 26 bolts that includes taking the wheels off. And if you do it right you do not have to bleed the brakes.

Yeah, I can try tightening those lower control arm bolts, I just took my steer rack out ang put it back in so I know those bolts are good. Also, my ball joints have at the most 2k miles on them so I would think they should still be good.

Whenever I hit the brakes to come up to a stop I hear and feel a creaking from the front end. As I let off the brakes it creaks again. I also experience a slight creak/bump when steering at low speeds some times. In fact both things seem to happen only at lower speeds. And lastly my targa top...

Neoz, if they claim to have thought it was my Supra that is bullshit. Firstly one of them DOES know what a Supra is and a little about them and two of them have seen my car on several ocassions during the day and night, one has even ridden in it. I think anyone can tell a maroon car with...

Depending on the price I would definitly be interested.
