    Contemplating a 7m swap into my e30 Bmw.

    I figure the tune would be the big thing. Timing matched to suit piss-water US gas quality? But picking up another 46 and 81 extra HP on just timing seems unrealistic. Increased revs and compression would be my best guess, perhaps one less catalytic converter...

    Help! Radio, Lumbar, Blower Motor, Power mirrors and windows do not work!

    If you don't have the hazards plugged in, a few things won't work. There is also a plug (two?) under the center console that needs plugged in...

    Color Poll

    Well if you're looking for attention, and to be a bit different, yellow is one of the few colors that Supras weren't made in from the factory. Maybe a Mountain Dew yellow would be interesting, kinda like a green-yellow?

    OEM Panel filter models

    Hmm, how much smaller is it? I know mine have always had a little wiggle room, but it should more or less fit. Too snug and it'd be hard to get in/out, I would suspect, hence the wiggle room. If it's obviously WAY too small, you might have gotten the wrong item...

    What I've been doing WITH PICTURES!

    Congrats on the house man, sounds about what I've been up to lately myself. Should be closing this week actually... Anyway, keep the shiny side up and watch out for gravel on that Yamaha! :)

    I would like to sale this <whatever>.

    Paging Zerocool to this thread... :rofl: Just kidding bud, you've gotten a lot better over the years. :)

    Happy Birthday to my Bud, INDYMK3

    Happy birthday man, hope it's boost filled. :)

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    This is true, I know 'snowblinded' has couple different meanings, but talking about *actual* snow and the glare it produces on a sunny day, I am VERY grateful to have tinted windows. Unfortunately, like many things, tint is a double edged sword, because at night, it is kinda hard to see out of...

    Cars you'd one day like to mod...

    This friend was down in AZ, but yes, we love our turbos here in Wyoming. Air is too thin to really make much power without boost unfortunately. Nice looking car you have there, I sure as hell wouldn't expect something that looks like that to have any sort of balls, although I know there are...

    Allright guys this thread is going to be for all you who love to argue

    Chewie's been in at least 4-5 movies (more if you wanna count the SW "specials", which were just that, for lack of a better term), while Bigfoot has been in a couple of blurry pictures. Now if Bigfoot gets the jump on Chewie with his obviously superior ninja skills, then he's got a good chance...

    Color Poll

    That might not look too bad actually. I posted up a few pics of my car in another paint related thread recently, if you wanted to see what a dark blue/purple looks like.

    3 gauge pod issues

    Perhaps they've been modified from Lotek over the years to fit better? I believe all I needed to do to mine was run the Dremel through the pods themselves to get the gauges to fit inside.

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    Plus one to that! Always throws me off... Just picked up a Casio G'Zone Brigade, should be required equipment for any Supra owner. It's a bit quirky, but worth looking into, it's built like a tank! That, and when you read a review of a guy who drops it in an oil drain pan (full, of course)...

    xact dyno

    I can't vouch for Xact, you might post up on the AZ forum (in my sig, I believe you're a member over there?). We did a dyno day at Mynes Tuning in Mesa a few years back, had a good experience with them.

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    Kinda what I've always figured. Nobody around here has anything along those lines that I am aware of, radar tech is a bit old school around here. Weird as this sounds, tint is a requirement when you're at 6500' elevation too. Not only is direct sunlight on the skin warmer (while ambient temps...

    You know you might be a Supra owner when you get a bloody nose, laugh, and think to yourself, "great, now *I've* went and blown a head gasket..." :rofl:

    Flare size for 315 width tires?

    Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "bare". Doubt the subframes weigh that much without their components attached to them though...

    Shutting a bully down. Repost?

    That bitch got away with that? I remember reading about that... sad to hear. These are the sorts of people who shouldn't be breeding if they can't learn to grow the fuck up. :(

    Cars you'd one day like to mod...

    ^ Thought we'd lost you... Buddy of mine had a similar plan for an SC400, twin turbo, stroked to ~5.2L, but in a sneaky way. Called it his AMG Killer until some dumb teenage girl rear ended him while texting. :nono:

    Moving past stock 1jz

    I figure once you throw some wide tires out back, you're looking at a decent amount of parasitic loss due to the additional unsprung weight of 2.5" of extra wheel width, 2" more tire width, and an extra 1" of wheel height... 20% seems fair for an older RWD to me, but I'm certainly not an...
