Oh, and also, the knocking sound only really happens between 1000-2000rpm. After 2000, even if it is still cold, it smooths out too much to hear.

Unfortunately, I still don't have a functioning oil pressure gauge. It is definitely on my list of priorities though. For what it's worth, as of October, it had all new gaskets, and pretty sure it doesn't burn any oil. Could you perhaps elaborate on what you mean about it revving high from...

Bit of an update: I'm really starting to lean toward exhaust leak where the down pipe meets the test pipe. Damn cheap ass ebay y-pipes have some real fitment issues... Gonna see if I can't tighten that up better somehow, or find a culprit elsewhere, I'm off Thursday, so I'll get to it then...

Hmm, maybe I'll go strip the shit out of all the Camrys out at the junkyard here. Oddly enough, it seems that Camrys are about the only Toyotas in yards around here. NO Corollas, NO pickups, NO Supras, and like ONE 2nd gen Celica. Thanks for the suggestions guys, if I ever come across a better...

So, just finished up reading all 28 pages up to this point, and I'm in the same boat as everyone else so far. I like it man. Kinda makes me wanna go rip the LS1 out of the SS and toss it in the Mk2...

Hey guys, looking to get a handful (like 50, never hurts to have extras) of the various interior trim screws in our cars. From what I can tell with my years of supplying hardware to Home Depot, the majority of what I've seen is a #8x5/8-3/4 sheet metal screw. However, the head on the Supra...

Issue: Hearing a slight knocking sound at low rpm, initially on cold startup, goes away when warm or has been warm. Details: 89 Supra, 1jz, BC 264 cams, solid chromoly mounts, oil always kept ~1qt over 'full' on dipstick. Thoughts: My first thought was of course, "oh shit, rod knock."...

I know the offsets and all that fun stuff. Gonna probably stick a 10-15mm spacer on the front, keep 275/40. As for the back, going to be running an ~8mm spacer, with 315/35's on them. I :love: turning, I'm not a drifter, don't care about mpg, so all in all, I like the plan so far. Not worried...

I don't even know what to say about this man... Kinda reminds me of the truck my dad used to drive when I was a youngin'. The same truck he ran over my Tonka truck with... real truck won, in case you were wondering. ;) Overall, I really like the idea. Considering it's a parts fetching truck, I...

You know, I usually do alright on my own, but you guys seem to swear by it. Why not, I'll enter, give it a shot if I get one. :) Rather charitable of you guys...

Hey, you know what they say about Wyoming... "Where the men are men, the women are men, and the sheep... are scared.":nono: I know what you mean about the GE's IJ, my Mk2 (6m, w58, and I think a 4:10) on 225/50/16's will only hit like 105mph tops. N/a, low-mid range engine + high elevation =...

If you guys are gonna make it to the Rock Springs area, lemme know. If it's on a weekend, there's a pretty good chance I'd buy you guys dinner or something. If it didn't snow here, I wouldn't mind the place nearly as much, that's my biggest gripe really... You ever go to Arizona man? Try ~120F...

Why were you running drag radials on the front of a Supra? Do you just not like turning very much? :icon_conf Tires don't rub the fenders, the wheels do rub the control arms (or something on the inside) if you try to do u-turns too sharply, but that's easily avoided. Only mod to the car...

Was just referencing the previous post so it didn't seem completely out of the blue for those not following along closely. ;)

I love a state that doesn't even require a cat... They really don't give a shit here in WY. As long as it has turn signals, head and tail lights, and windshield WIPERS (don't need a windshield, but you damn well better have wipers...), you're good to go. And with that, I'm off to work. :)

I have 17x9.5 +50 all around, with 275/40's on them, they don't rub at all. Stick that 20mm further toward the outside of the car... you're gonna be fine. Should look pretty good too, at least in the back. Not sure about the front, they *might* stick out a bit.

My 88 n/a was so quiet that I caught myself accidentally doing 120-130 through a large portion of Utah at night... Wondered how I had crossed the whole damn state in 5 hours haha! And 140.3 huh, IJ? Not too shabby, I only let off since the tires are only rated to ~130. If I had my summer tires...

Power steering? Really? If you're not running 275 or wider tires up front, and you're not a little girl, I would think you'd be ok... I used my 88 as a daily driver for a LONG time without PS... Actually came to appreciate the feedback more than the ease of steering.

You can EAT those things there? Sweet! Good post, even if it is like a year or so old now, glad I saw it. :)

Ahhh... gotta love the sound of a carburetor. I always loved the sound of an engine drowning itself in fuel. :p Kinda makes me wonder if anyone has bothered to carb a JZ...
