Hmmm... Search. I think it was here that there was a very detailed thread about cat. converters, and which ones did what the best. Thought I bookmarked it, but guess not... Edit: Actually, I think it was over on SF

That information on the Bilsteins would be good to know. I have the stock replacement one's on my car now with stock springs, and have been considering getting the sleeves from Summit. I'd like to level the car, as the rear sits about 1" higher than the front. Would also like to get springs...

Gonna need a whole lot more than a spring compressor to do the valve stem seals with the head on the motor. The valves won't hold themselves up in the head. Good Luck....

Maybe use some 1/16" plate to make a housing that fits where the black plastic trim piece goes on the stock lights, and mount your projectors to that? You could use the trim piece as a pattern for the sides, and use a plate in the front with holes that fit those projectors. Could build...

The top metal piece of the center cap comes off fairly easy. You can strip and polish it without tearing up the plastic that way. I don't quite remember how I did it, though. I'll have to look at them again tomorrow.

Sure hope that block deck is in really good shape....

Could also be a collapsed brake line. Open the banjo bolt on the caliper, and see if the caliper loosens up. If not, the caliper is sticking. If it does loosen up, try replacing the rubber line from the metal tubing to the caliper first.

http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=AC&P=6 Just for test purposes, I think you could unplug the clutch switch on the compressor, and jumper that and the dual pressure switch? Not really sure, I would have to test it to see if it would work. Looks like it works off of...

There should be a wiring diagram in there that will show you what controls that fan. Should be either a pressure switch on the A/C lines, and a relay and fuse as well. It is a very important part of the a/c system. If you don't keep the condenser cool, the pressure will be to high, and the...

HEY!! WHERE DO GET OFF CALLING ME A LIAR!! I REALLY DID... Naah, just kidding :)

Mk IV tail lights don't look any worse than most of the hacked up "custom" stock tail lights I've seen posted... And no, I didn't buy my 87 because I couldn't afford a MkIV. It happened to be the right price at the right time when I was looking to replace my MkII. I wouldn't mind having a...

Wow, you might want to take a read thru this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57852 Oh yeah, the Cummins Turbo Diesel(used in the Dodge trucks) has been around longer than most asian car companies. It's original use was as a generator motor, and they still are...

Looks like the Venom module does basically the same thing as the MAFT GenII, but no where near as well. You'll need a map sensor to run either one. I'd go with the Maft, as it has more tuning capabilities.

I tend to put a thin layer of silicone on the 2 faces to smooth out any imperfections from pitting and corrosion. And yeah, don't crank on those bolts. Little bolts like that are really easy to break. It's also very easy to over torque them, and stretch or twist them, making them break easily...

Might have to take the bottom 2 bolts out of the fender as well. I lost a lighter down there one time....

Yeah, if it runs good. I paid 500 for my parts car with rod knock and messed up interior. I'd jump all over that if it was close. It'd be cool to have one all original, and do all the little stuff to make it mint.

I think that the quote above is referring to spark knock when the engine is under load at low rpms. Do you have a knock sensor code stored? Code can be in the memory, but not setting the CEL.

Don't need silicone on the whole gasket, just at the 2 front corners where the valve cover goes over the cam cap. It's in the TSRM. Rubber gaskets seal very well everywhere else, just not in the sharp corners. If you don't want it to leak, ditch the stock valve cover screws, and get some hex...
