    Grinding noise at 2500 RPM...

    This could be it. Try bumping your exhaust to see if it rattles against something.

    Does anyone use any engine oil additives?

    The website says nothing of seal conditioning. It looks like it'll just make your oil super thick. x87Supra, I saw on eBay a product called Seal lube. It seemed to be a seal conditioner that had good feedback; stopped a lot of oil leaks according to his eBay customers. Didn't work on my Mk2...

    How to remove a MKIII front axle hub??

    I'm somewhat sure it's a maze of press-out parts. I tried to do a wheel bearing but it was hopeless without a bunch of SST's.

    EGT readings....

    Mine seems to hang around 1400 as well. It's been like that since I bought the car. It's been dyno tuned to about 11 a/f through the range. Base timing is 10. Not sure where the probe is.

    any thoughts on this turbo?

    57 CT is a nice unit. Mine spools fast and pulls really hard. Hit 393 @ 17psi on supporting fuel mods.

    S2 Body kit...

    I ordered rear Kaze blister fenders. I forgot about the narrow body issue. I guess I'll be modifying them to fit to accomodate the extra 2+ inches I need. I looks like they worked out well on Acroth's car. You can see in the mock-up stage that the rear finders aren't fitting well. It looks like...

    Are you going through MVP? Hopefully it won't take 4 months like it has for Supraofdoom

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    Just for your guys' interest they also just released a product that allows you to wash your car without water, while polishing and adding a high-tech protective coat(guarateend not to scratch too). The paint can be super dirty and using this stuff will not scratch it. Perfect for car shows...

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    The Tire Safety Solution is listed on the order page with some videos about the install. Takes about 15 minutes to install. At the office they have a demo tire on a display rack that has been punctured about 100 times with a poker. There's also a video of a cop shooting the tire on a cop cruiser...

    How Far Have You Traveled For Parts?

    I drove 3 hours as well to buy sidewayzsupra's hood. To get the rare stuff you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Are those Work Equip wheels? They look a lot like mine. That rear has gotta be a 9" lip!

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    The Tercel was gonna get crushed by a monster truck the next day (at a grand opening for pat's shop), so we kept beating on it full throttle to see how long it would last and yes it did eventually seize. I'm pretty sure it's because of all the flame burning off the layer of oils on the...

    To tint, or not to tint, that is the question

    The absolute best tinting combo in my opionion is this: rear tails tinted slightly darker than JDM, evening out that damn mismatched middle lens. I'm gonna mask the clear turn lines for contrast. For window tint: 50% front 2 windows, 30% rear 3. It's plenty dark from the outside but plenty...

    What kind of oil?

    An interesting test on this website showed how Lucas oil can cause major foaming problems in oils: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm

    Good tire choice...

    I was going to choose the Kumhos as well until I heard they squeal on hard cornering more than the Falkens do. Don't know for sure but that's what I've heard. I like the idea of ripping through corners hard without attracting unwanted attention.

    Does anyone use any engine oil additives?

    Is this stuff a seal conditioner, or just really thick oil? I've got a leak in my Mk2

    Does anyone use any engine oil additives?

    In my experience, well over 95% of additives are pretty useless. We do an internet TV show and have tested all the popular name brands, which failed or extreme wear test. See the thread in the link posted by starscream, to hear some feedback from Supra owners using additives.
