Depends on your elevation too. My numbers are a lot like yours, huntingcorn, and I'm around 6500' up in the mountains...

My apologies for posting 'bad' advice. How is what I suggested a bad idea? Not trying to be defensive or anything, but all that serves to do is mechanically hold open the throttle via a screw, same way your foot would if you press the throttle lightly. Works fine for me, and actually smoothed...

Very much agreeing with Mario on this. I bought my 89 because it had some cool parts and was a turbo 5speed. Paid WAY too much for it. What I should have done was buy my 88 back from my roommate (for about 1/3 of what I paid for the 89), and done the 1j swap that I ended up doing anyway. Instead...

No autox's within 100 miles of me, somebody else HAS to have this one... come on guys! ;)

Hmm... makes sense. My car never came with one when I bought it, nor did it have an under tray. The tray has been on my list of things to get at some point, think I might reinstall that seal too. I stand corrected. JJ, what are your thoughts on the Stout hood's ability to alleviate heat?

I'll be getting some of that automotive Goop this week and trying to seal up all the areas mentioned in this thread, testing them this weekend hopefully, if I get the time. I have a few ideas on where the water's getting in on mine, I'll post up any findings if anything interesting comes up. :)

If they weren't all the way over in Cali I'd be in for something like that... my car's pretty well setup for a well rounded car. :)

This is your throttle body area. See the big nut on the upper left of the throttle body, where it bolts to the manifold? See the little set screw just to the left of that? Turn that in until it pushes your throttle open just a bit. Should fix your problem with idling, your ISCV is likely bad. ;)

My hood likes to randomly pop itself up on occasion, due to how bumpy I80 is around here. The hood latch itself can be adjusted up a small bit. So can the rubber stoppers that your hood hits on the way down. Unfortunately mine are a bit screwed up and don't like to adjust any further down, so I...

Update on this? I think Andy (ARZ on here) should put his 240z in. It's Supra *powered*, and he's damn good at autox type stuff. ;)

Hey it's useful info, I'd be willing to bet there are more of us with leaking hatches than those whose hatches are watertight. Question though, while it seems like silicone will fix most of the issues, how likely is the car to leak from the actual hatch seal itself (the big rubber piece that...

My old 88 n/a hardtop auto, 4.30 lsd, 225/50/16 all seasons, would regularly see upwards of 28-30mpg on highways, about 20 or so in city. Slow as balls though... My 89 7mgte targa 5 speed, 3.73, 275/40/17 Nittos, would see around 25-30 on the highway, about 17-20 city. 57 trim ct26, Apexi...

Here's a start: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?125646-Spartan-living-or-quot-How-to-budget-for-a-Supra-project-quot Also, congrats on being another girl to pick up Supra keys, you girls make the world a better place haha! :)

Err... I didn't have e-fans and mechanical fan on the same car, was talking about two separate Supras here, sorry. :) IJ, mind my asking how you went about controlling your fans? I'm thinking that I have a fixed temperature relay with a bad range for our cars. It comes on at about 118C (only...

I discovered the 115C thing about the stock gauge a few months ago... I'm more or less in the same boat as Cyrus here, blown up enough 7m's to be paranoid about that temp gauge haha! It seems to reason that removing the rear seal where the hood meets the firewall is a good way to alleviate heat...

I bought the Monroe hatch struts, so far so good. My hood struts on the other hand seem to have been a dud or two...

You have your silencer in or not? I have yet to have it on the highway, so I'm not sure if it'll be needing a second resonator or not yet...

I'll give everyone else a chance too, but I do have quite a few of these. ;)

I believe this comes down to a fan issue man. I have a PWR radiator (about as big as you can squeeze into a Mk3), and even though it holds about 2x the coolant as a stock unit, if I'm sitting in traffic for too long, my car likes to try and get hot on me too. Turn on the fans though, and it...

Provided my last post isn't against any formal or informal rules of this thread, I present to you... 5: in the mountains.......... Am I gonna have to set my car on fire or is someone gonna post up other than me? ;)
