    Anyone ever try this FMIC?

    I've been looking for one with 3" inlets on the same side. The only one I ever found was like 28". This may be just small enought to fit.

    Pilot Bearing Puller?

    Aha I misread. Our seal puller was too large was well, so we used grease method.

    Pilot Bearing Puller?

    Yeah the "grease method" will work fine to get the bearing out.

    Best Supra Pedal Mod Ever

    Does the gas pedal sit any higher? I've been contemplating changing something to play with heel-toeing.

    Interior light problem

    Just pry it, it won't snap. As 1J. mentioned a common problem on the dome lights is the rivets used for electrical connections, they suck.

    Other seats in mkiiis

    The supra is the only car I can ride 350+ miles in without having to get out and stretch. They are a joy to sit in and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

    using factory hg?

    I have been running 15psi on an upgraded CT-26 on a factory HG retorqued to 76ftlbs for over a year now. This is over 350hp and as long as I don't detonate I don't plan on any problems.

    Staticpat's Redneck Rodknock fix OR How-To drop Oilpan

    Having a second hand is always a smart idea, I'm not going to argue with you there. But just so you know I didn't make this up, its straight out of the TSRM for replacing the oil pump etc. If it's safe enough for Toyota its safe enough for me. I feel much safer being under an engine held by...

    IFO at Steele

    This usually goes to MMP, but I guess its coming to Steele as well this year. Anyone plan on going? I went a couple years ago and it is mostly civics, but other than that it may be a good time. We may can get a mini-meet or something. I may drag even though I know some bham guys that are...

    Had an idea for my ACIS, wanted to clear one thing up

    What in the world is the ACIS? I still don't understand. I've never seen any kind of valve switching or anything. Someone tried to explain it in another thread, but I need a picture or something. All I can imagine is some sort of ducting like on the 3000gt VR-4s. EDIT: Apparently someone posted...

    The long Awaited SupraHero 1JayZ Build

    What in the world, I'm not the only Alabama guy seducing people into mkiiis? Apparently our AL population is spreading like a virus.

    where to mount rx7 oil cooler

    Yeah I figured that out and deleted my post within 2 minutes. Haha, took quick for me. I'll leave the explaning to someone who understands the thermostat better than I.

    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    People drive their supras? I was under the impression they were a permanent addition to the garage. :<

    Problems with my car

    The TPS code probably isn't causing all that but it only takes 5 minutes to fix. I found out my base timing had been 5 degrees retarded after fixing the contacts. This may have more severe results for you than what I was experiencing. Of course if the nissan TPS doesn't use the IDL contacts...

    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    I let my supra sit for like 6 months with rodknock, debated letting it sit there forever. Then I went by and saw suprahero doing his 1J swap. I spent the next 3 weekends getting the car running. Now I'm more motivated than ever to get it where I want. Having some time away definitely helped in...

    finally got one

    Nah no oil drips anywhere, but it does smoke after a long drive. We are leaning towards the turbo oil seals for now. Other than that it is a mystery. We fixed a TPS code today and found that the timing was off by like 10 degrees, so it pulls better but still seems weak. Thanks jetjock for...

    K&N Breather kit

    I'm not trying to argue. But with my 10ft of line I can still feel vaccum at idle (scientific method of feeling it suck my thumb to the hose) where my line goes to the valve covers. And I still find oil residue in the accordian, and it didn't land there magically. As I mentioned I'm not saying...

    Cars been Sleeping (for like 20mo.)

    That's a damn nice "ratshit motor".

    K&N Breather kit

    I definitely get vaccum on my line to the accordian, why wouldn't you? It's another story to just vent to atmosphere. The only other way I can think to plumb it involves a vaccum pump to suck out the excess crankcase gas. I still fear that 18psi into the crankcase seems like a bad idea. The way...

    crooked exhaust studs

    I installed bigger studs on mine while in the car and one came out crooked (tight space + drilling with 90 on drill = bad idea). I just drilled the manifold hole a little bigger and it worked fine. Works in a pinch, but probably not the best idea if the head is out of the car with full access...
