    Another Question about the Brake System

    yes, typically (but not always the case) on a front engine/rear drive setup, the brake bias is set to around 70% front, 30% rear. The diameter of the rotors, size of the brake pads, total piston area of the calipers, master cylinder (on some cars) and proportioning valve all play a roll in...

    Wheel Questions

    the hub center is 60mm on the supra (MKIII and MKIV) waiting to drop the car would not make a difference as long as you got correct wheels (i.e. offset and width) to begin with.

    N/A fuel sys.for GTE?

    Correct me if I am wrong here, but the title says N/A fuel sys. for GTE. I am assuming that you are attempting to run turbo with the N/A fuel system. If so, just upgrading the fuel pump will do nothing to compensate for boost. I have never heard the term AMFPR, but seeing the FPR part of it...

    Re-located coil pack pic's

    Thanks guys. bcg04, actually the car is kinda technically a N/A. I bought the car as an N/A-T car that had a messed up motor cause the guy didn't know what he was doing to begin with. so the N/A valve covers were already there. One other note that I just remembered is that I had to modify...

    Re-located coil pack pic's

    yes, I have them mounted on the firewall. Below are a few pictures that I just went out and took. rakkasan is correct, i got a set of N/A wires and removed the coil ends from a set of GTE wires, cut the N/A wires to length and attached the GTE ends. Also if you did it, you would have to lengthen...

    Ignition Upgrades

    You are correct on the coil connection. just make sure that you have the right ones (- and +) connected to the right locations. The metal base below the stock coil is the Ignitor and must be retained. The MSD hookup is very simple and straight forward. If your budy doesn't have the...

    Ignition Upgrades

    if anything, just do the wires. like Ian said, "Even the GE has a pretty stout ignition system make sure it's functioning right and it will be more than enough." if you did go as far as to add the CDI box, you will need a MSD Tach Adapter #8910 otherwise the car wont run.

    CP Tri Strut Barr

    Jake, I agree 100% with what you are saying about ripping the bolts out of the sheet metal, but your strut towers would have to move a lot inorder to do that and you would have other problems to worry about then bolts ripped out of the sheet metal. I do think and agree with what was stated...

    Headlight Question

    there is not a stop on the motor that is adjustable. The way to limit the opening height and yet retain the closing height is to rework the throw arm on the motor and the linkage rod that connects between the throw arm and the head light bucket assembley.
