    dr jonez boost controller question

    fuel cut (which actually cuts spark from what I understand) might hit around 11. It varies with the car, the temperature, humidity, how far the sun is from the earth, where the moons at in the sky...etc (j/k) fuel cut will change, you might hit it at 10 and you might hit it at 15.

    post a picture of ur custom trunk set up

    HIFONICS FTW!!! Has anybody mounted a sub in the spare tire well yet? I'm thinking about custom fiberglass enclosure and a 10" speaker maybe. I don't want everything in the car to rattle, but seriously, the supra has 4" speakers (minus the 91+) I just want some low end.

    my new setup (pics)

    there are a decent amount of cars that have tweeter pods like that...honda civics have pods like that on the a pillar I think, but it might be down in the corner like those ones. Just a little modification and they'll fit.

    2 piece, 3 piece...whatever. The problem is the speedo cable :) I have a auto-5spd swap and 3 piece speedo cable. Long piece, short 1' piece, then a small metal elbow piece, which screws onto the tranny here's a question. Do the speedo cables have seals of any sort? When I fixed mine I...

    Different Windshield Wipers?

    I use standard clip on blades... I used a bench grinder + wire wheel to clean up my wiper arms. Sanded a lil bit, primer, paint, clear= Nice shiny black wiper arms (which have since chipped a bit and are rusting again)

    how much boost???

    ^^^ what he said. Everything stock like that, it's not how much boost is safe, it's how much boost the ECU is gonna let you run. 10-15 like he said. With some other work done (fuel system and computers) you can push the stock turbo to like 15-18psi, and then you'll need a turbo upgrade

    Turbo xs high performance dual stage manual bc

    I borrowed a friend of mines when I made pulls on the dyno. It worked fine for me. Just adjust it the way they say before you put it on (I think it was turn both adjusters clockwise all the way, and then turn the coarse adjustment counter-clockwise until the rattle stopped) then I put it on my...

    Has anyone used a HUD in an MKIII?

    the whole point of them is so you don't have to look down so far to see your speed and revs, it's supposed to be a lot safer when you're driving hard

    Copper Headgasket

    ^^^I would listen to these guys, they're some of the smartest people I know. There's some info out there about the copper gaskets, but I've never heard anything good about them and the 7m. Most of what I've read indicates that they're used more for race engines. I would suggest a stocker or mhg...

    Key broken off inside ignition

    get the key out, or have a locksmith get the key out. If you have another key, then have it copied. If you don't have another key, take the key you've got, your license, and the title to the car, and go to the dealership. They MIGHT be able to cut you the key off the VIN number, but they only...

    WHY does the targa leak?

    the targa should fit pretty snug. I know I can't get mine to seat all the way down until I start tightening the bolts. Just make sure it's a pretty tight fit, and if it seems to be loose then who knows, maybe it was an original hard top, or maybe somebody took a few really really hard corners...

    Clutch feels weird

    ^^^DITTO! The parts aren't that expensive, the clutch system is pretty cut and dry. Bleeding it is going to be the easy part, getting the master cylinder out and back in is the fun part. But basically you're looking at pulling the master and slave, putting the new ones in, bleeding the clutch...

    Door lock stuck

    locks are VERY easy to rebuild as long as you don't mix up the tumblers. mine were all sticking and I pulled them apart for a build and lube. For the door, all you're gonna need to do is take the little silver cover off (2 small tabs) and then take the plastic glow ring and the small silver...
