    I have the last one in the world!

    A new, in-the-bag, 1988 Supra turbo MT engine harness... okay, okay...I know it's not the last one- hell, probably a dozen guys right here on the forum have a new one squirreled away on their parts shelves. But it just makes me happier telling myself it's the last one. I didn't...

    Stumped with weird electrical issue, gauge lights and climate control lights.

    What he said. Bad dimmer = no dash/ climate control lights. I believe you can test the theory by bypassin the dimmer control.

    DM's knock off BOV's

    I have a Tial kockoff that I bought like 6 years ago. Never ever had a problem with it, and it sounds great. I'm not saying it's as good as Tial at all, I'm just saying I've had complete success with the "wannabe". :)

    Fall supra meet.

    painted intercooler

    Well, that paint was a heat protection material, as well as radar-absorbing. Didn't really have anything to do with the color. Regardless- still the coolest plane ever made, thermally and philosophically speaking.

    Failed Smog Please help!

    If you're that close, I'd consider just cleaning or replacing spark plugs- that might do it. Also, check your egr vavle as per the tsrm- they get clogged up after a while. Not sure if switching to 87 will help, though it does burn faster.

    Idle issue on fresh rebuild

    Are the cams timed properly? I recently put a motor together, and after I was positive that both cams were dead perfect, I took the cam cover off and found the intake off by a tooth.

    What could it be?

    Does it stumble and go rich if you rev it, but don't pop open the bov, or is it just after the bov vents? If you vent a bov to the atmosphere, the metered air going into the engine(x) immediately after, was measured with that vented air(Y). So the ecu supplied fuel for X+Y, when it's really only...

    Name that suspension member!!!

    Yeah, maybe my sphericals helped cause the tire wear. I already replaced all of the bushings on one side, except for the spherical, and the trailing arm bushing in the hub itself. Gonna have to work on those. My 12 ton press did a pretty good job.

    Name that suspension member!!!

    As for my camber bolts- they all turn freely. For some reason, the inner edge of my two almost-new rear tires is TOAST. I had a 4-wheel alignment done right after my new wheels/ tires were installed last year, and i've literally eaten through some of the steel belt. Only on the inside 1st inch...
