    7MGTE hoses

    The generic hoses on Ebay, appear to be constructed of two different compounds. The interier material seems somewhat harder than the external silicone. Not sure what its made of.

    7MGTE hoses

    I dont think silicone had even been considered for automotive hose use back when the supra was built, so... Does anyone know if any oem manufactures build their cars using stock silicone hoses yet?

    cam gear wobble, fearing the worst.

    Since taking a valve cover off only takes about ten minutes, why not do it, and let us know what you find. Ps- not sure why your turbo would be glowing red hot either...

    Best Boost Controller?

    If you replace the downpipe as well as getting a good intake filter, you wont need the boost controller. You will go from~6psi to 10psi just from reducing the restrictions. The only other 'mod' i might recommend, is to add a couple of washers behind each of the bolts that attach your wastegate...

    alignment shop f**ked up my alignment.

    I don't see how your bolts could be rusted if you just had them off while replacing all the bushings?

    Where to find a 1987 white OEM right side mirror.

    Maybe you should post in the "parts wanted" section. Otherwise, you can probably find one on Ebay.

    So this is hard for me, but what do you guys think

    Although not as roomy, the tranny HAS to be better than the 4L30E in my Trooper.

    So this is hard for me, but what do you guys think

    If you're not hurting for money, just buy a roomy daily driver. You can get a bulletproof jeep cherokee for like $1500.

    Today, I went to the local Caffeine&Octane show around 8am, just to drool over a couple hundred cars. When I got home with a slight bit more motivation, I decided to hammer out the two cuts in my passenger floorboard. Before: After: Good enough to allow me to weld it back...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Oil bolt? The bolt that attatches to the turbo goes straight into the iron of the center cartridge. I don't see any chance of stressing anything here. Besides, I only plan to place mild tension on this assembly, as it's only purpose is to reduce the workload of the exhaust manifold studs.

    Today I received my 4" 30 degree intake pipe. So I cut it: And I test-fit it with the AEM dryflow filter: Thankfully, the 30dgree angle is perfect for the space I have. Next, I have to get the fab shop to tig in the power steering idle-up nipple to the underside. Then...
