    WRITEUP: Gauge color change (With pics)

    Good write-up, although LED's will offer much better color. Anyone registered on Supraforums, search "climate control" and "gauge cluster" and you'll find a couple of huge long threads with many many photos of this and how it looks.

    Is my boost gauge is off by 3 psi?

    I pulled my cluster recently and noticed that my autometer boost guage reads around 3 psi with nothing connected to it. I don't see any adjustment or calibration. Is this thing off? Pic:

    Best way to install guage faces?

    The pre-89 needles are shaped in a way that makes this harder. I pryed my needles off with a flathead screwdriver.

    How much would it cost to legalize a car from CANADA?

    This fact alone makes me amazed that they are legal to drive at all in Canada.

    Yeah, we're building the body to fit these wheels that I bought used. Hopefully I'll never have to replace them!

    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    Sideskirts are finished, as well as lots of final body smoothing. I wonder how it'll handle with a 6" wider wheel base? Custom made emblem from the group buy I arranged!

    Wouldn't just going 2JZ be more practical and cheaper for this kind of HP goal?

    REMOVED CATS Your EXPERIENCE

    My car came with no cats, and since it is tuned to run rich, the smell is annoying. I reek like exhaust and gas if I've been driving hard, the fumes gets through the rear of the car somehow... I'm installing a Magnaflow high flow cat to make the car more pleasant for me and any female passengers ;)

    The Ultimate Bulb Lighting Thread:All You Ever Need to Know

    Great info, especially about the HIR's. Many vendors such as www.autolumination.com sell replacement flasher relays to solve the fast flashing problem, and eliminate the need for a load resistor. They also have some high-tech LED's that pack more LED's plus a 3-watt at the tip. I'm going to try...

    Can Supras Turn?

    At my local Auto-X last year, this one Miata with stock engine but full-on suspension and soft-compound tires killed every single other car in the field by about 2 seconds, including a couple of high-HP Mk4's, etc. He took me for a ride in it. Yeah, it didn't accelerate fast, but once he hit a...

    anyone make custom headlights (besides NSX retrofits)?

    No, they're not great for high beams. I'm thinking of adding some supplemental high beam lighting in the fog lamp area.

    anyone make custom headlights (besides NSX retrofits)?

    I used the Grand prix/Camaro bulbs in my retrofit, and was able to install HID bulbs into the housings. It's not as ideal as a proper projector, but it was much easier to install. I did a complete write-up here, you may find some helpful ideas: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18540

    I feel the first photo looks allright. Although another alternative to making your car look more modern is to retrofit LED's like I did:

    How to fill/flatten side mouldings?

    The pre-89 mouldings are not totally flat, they have a stepped edge.

    How to fill/flatten side mouldings?

    I'm planning to remove the strip and fill the slots on my 89+ side mouldings, like in the pic below. What's the best flexible and sandable material to use? Since the stock plastic probably won't sand very well, would the material have to be laid overlapping the upper flat part of the...

    Supercharger on a 7M

    Imagine a massive useable powerband from 2000-7000 rpm :) I assume you could route both through the same intercooler?

    Supercharger on a 7M

    IJ: Any aftermarket switching systems for running a system like that? Seems like a more logical approach.

    Has anyone ever wired in a low oil sensor?

    Imagine how many engines would have been saved had this been an OEM feature.
