    Tookwik's 3E5/7M is FTW build, Pt. 2. (Actual progress occurring regularly)

    Personally, I like it. I probably would have opted for color matched to the car. Barring that, like others said they compliment the wheels nicely and completes the package well.

    No Brakes!!!!

    Yes, I am a firm proponent of careful testing before putting anyone besides myself at risk. A simple drive around the block or for that matter a quick in and out of the driveway would have been enough to let you know something was wrong with the brakes and the car should have been parked...

    ticket for smoke?

    When I was much younger I used to get tickets for "Excessive noise/smoke" all the time in my Chevelle...for doing burnouts in parking lots, lol. Never got one for exhaust smoke though.

    No Brakes!!!!

    yes I suspect the pads were ruined by the grease. The heat from the braking probably liquified it and helped it to soak into the pads. If you still have pedal pressure but no braking, I would say replace the pads again.

    Simple Targa Seal fix?

    It kinda depends where your leak is coming from. If the water is building up in the plastic trim piece and then pouring on your lap when you hit the brakes then the seal in question isnt actually the window seal and is in fact the sealing point between the metal portion of your roof and the rain...

    No Brakes!!!!

    Ouch! Lubrication on brakes is COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE! Some people will tell you to put some heavy grease on the BACK side of the pad to create a little insulating layer between the caliper and the pad to reduce squeal, but I personally never liked the idea of getting any kind of slippery...

    My 2j mk3 on dyno

    Also sounds like you need to adjust your BOV as you have a noticable amount of comp surge, but it sounds nice.

    Lost Gear/1st gear not working properly

    thrust washer? If you have lost a gear the rest will soon follow as the little bits of metal in there begin to tear more stuff up. Rebuilt it or replace it soon. If you are N/A then finding a cheap w58 wont be very hard, the R154 is going to be a bit more money and a little harder to locate.

    I got the sh*t shocked out of me..

    Actually if he just made contact between the battery cable at the starter and the body, there is no reason why any other circuit in the car would be affected, there is nothing in line between those two points. Am I wrong here? but yeah, I think weve all done stoopid sheit like that, I...

    Who wants to start a Supra Commune?

    yeah I know IJ, wouldnt be possible without a good clear contract between everyone. Hell I pay more than 500/mo and I dont have a garage, much less a shop and a pool and hot tub! It would be pretty hard to convince anyone to move to western Oregon right now as were coming into the gloom and...

    1988 turbo supra

    Sounds like its running pig rich. possible causes: O2 sensor, leaky injectors, too much fuel pressure (restricted return, bad FPR), AFM issues... as suggested start with a code check.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    your battery sitting around for so long is probbly only in need of a good deep slow charge. If you have a charger set it to 2amp and let it charge overnight. Im not 100% sure on the NEO but on the previous generation of that controller all it really does is modify the air flow signal and...
