    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    one word: investment no, I dont consider the car itself as an investment. I dont want to give up on something I have so much time, money, energy, blood sweat and tears into. I can assure you however, I dont think Im like most Supra owners. I could part with my car in a second if the price was...

    stupid question alert - injectors scribed

    ok, couldnt find anything online so I called PTE. The first number is the flow data, marked as lbs @ 90% duty cycle (this was right from the horses mouth). So in my case 50.5 - 50.8 is what I have. The second number is a date, 3227 being Mar22 07. So thats the deal on the numbers.

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

    lol, ok ya got me. The fact that they were black had me going. I am still trying to decide on some wheels myself. If there is one single element on a car that sets the tone for the rest of the car its the wheels so its important to get the right ones. I have a tight budget so I am limited by...

    yes and specifically hand sanding in all the nooks and crevises of a job like that. I hate it so much that I usually end up screwing up the filler because I try to work it just a little too long trying to get it smooth. Ken I cant say Im in love with those wheels but they definately will be...

    will work on supras for food

    ok, well not exactly. It turns out that my new roommate and I dont get along. Amazing, since we've known each other for a long time and never had fights before. Apparently now in close proximity we cant communicate very well. Anyway, its a long story but it turns out that I will not be staying...

    stupid question alert - injectors scribed

    There are numbers inscribed on my new injectors and I assume these are the flow bench numbers but Im unsure how to read them. Can anyone shed some light on this topic for a bonehead like me? Part number on the injector is D1151BA. These are the standard PTE 550s, I was just...

    heres my history of supra paper so far

    I actually agree with the fact that its more of a technical history than anything. Its the kind of thing you read if you just want a mechanical overview of the various models. Prehaps a more subjective look at how the 2000gt was the precurser to the line. Maybe try to find and discuss styling...

    Picture request: IC piping

    Right, I wasnt thinking. For some reason I had in my head that the exit of the intercooler was the same for both of us. Now I see the error of that thinking. Good luck with that.

    Picture request: IC piping

    unfortunately mine is all pulled apart but I have the set-up you are referring to. Out of the turbo I used a 70* pipe then a slight bend needed to be made for mine (you can get away with a hump coupler) to make it parallel with the car from there is about 9inches of straight pipe to a 90*...
