    Rice Or Not?

    Hell no, that color and that car look great. I'm not a fan of racing seats, but that certainly doesn't make it rice. I went back and forth many times on the clear turns myself. I ended up getting them and I think they look good, but I kept the stockers just in case... :) On a stickered out...

    New parts = New thread :) lots of pics!

    Heh, it is indeed (stock toyota modified to be adjustable), and the car has Reg's upgraded fuel maps, so I dont have to run any piggyback fuel control for 1.1bar, which is nice... Although she runs too rich under full boost, so I'm going to have to go with some piggyback or perhaps the maftpro...

    Lexus AFM, 550cc Lucas, Aero AFPR...

    awesome, good to know. Thanks. anyone have an opinion on the effect (numbers wise) getting my AF up from 10 to around 11.5 at WOT would have on my EGTs? I hoping being at 10-ish is around the area where you get higher EGT's in the rich direction, and so raising them will help get my EGT's...

    Lexus AFM, 550cc Lucas, Aero AFPR...

    the more fuel for lower temps thing is true, but only to a point, when you run too rich you actaully get higher EGT's so I'm wondering if this is part of my problem. Yes I need to check my base timing, its been a while. That could have something to do with it. As for the VSV and the FPR...

    Lexus AFM, 550cc Lucas, Aero AFPR...

    Good find there John. I have my FPR plumbed directly to one of the two vac connections on top of the Thottle Body (removed all the EGR stuff) and it seems to run fine. I am wondering how you guys get such low EGT's under boost.... I always seem to be approaching 1600 when I really get on...

    Don't want to butcher factory harness

    thats awesome! too bad the 89+ harness isn't one their "colored" ones that easily identifies wires needed, but otherwise great find. Would make MAFT-PRO install a "cinch" *brings me one step closer to going with it* This should be stickied somewhere, great find

    Is my Turbo smoking?

    I don't get any smoke, but my engine bay smells like burnt oil all the time. I think the turbo burns a little oil, as occasionally a very small whiff of oil smoke will rise up near the turbo. Doesn't seem to be very bad, but the car does smell like burnt oil a lot..... On another note, it...

    Weather forcasters better be wrong!

    Do I think rain is bad? No. Do I think rain during one of the biggest supra meets is bad? Yes.

    Weather forcasters better be wrong!

    Just checked forcast for houston this weekend...... looks like some rain is the order of the day, which sucks some serious asshole, as I refuse to take my car out in the rain. Add to that the BBQ is outside, the show and shine obviously is outside, and who wants to do a cruise route in the...

    hmm Doors unlock then quickly lock again with new alarm (self-installed)

    thats what the factory system does when you try and lock the doors when you have the key in the ignition... perhaos something to do with that?
