    2nd gear grinding

    If you had a clutch release problem, you would have a problem in all gears, and it would be difficult to get into 1st. Do you have a problem hitting first from a stop? That being said, 1-2 is the hardest shift, as it has the biggest speed gap. You could need a fluid change, but like the...

    Constantly have air in my cooling system

    So you pumped the cooling system to 90 psi, or the leak tester? You know what else is fascinating? The area that seems to give the most fits, stock control, has the fewest questions in the SME section.

    Switching to GM TH400

    Try using the brakes to stop the car instead of reverse.

    Charcoal Canister?

    If the gas is cold enough, it might not light in the pail either. As he said, vapors burn, not liquids. Just throw your parts in a pile and label it, things "Toyota engineers are dumber than me".

    87 Factory alarm

    The theft ECU completes the circuit to crank the engine. Get the EWD and you will see where you need the short.

    Isn't it? Spoken just like a lube rack employee.

    Not a good choice for an exhaust though.

    And you stopped the fluid from running out how? By magic?

    Why is the 2jzgte so much better?

    http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4338552&postcount=109 I guess you shouldn't penalize an entire forum for idiocy, but this is just plain dumb. He doesn't know what a flow bench is testing, yet will comment on it it justify his decision.

    Exhaust size?

    A comment here is needed. I remember way back when on the Supra when the first testing was done for the aftermarket. The full catless competition exhaust was only worth 5 rwhp over the cat version. And it was a larger pipe too. That part will matter more as the HP levels rise, but the Toyota...

    Why is the 2jzgte so much better?

    I guess that means a 97 Camry head is super sick, because it lays a beat down on the 2JZ. I have seen those JZ numbers relatively consistent. Somebody posted 220 intake peak on the 2JZ once. There are a few factors including the bench test and the tester for the final number. But the Camry...

    Mikes Turbo INC.

    Yeah, I have read the ebay add. Now if he sold a that with a CT26 exhaust flange, but nothing else Ct26, that would be ok. Oh wait, you an already get something like that. But not for $600.

    You don't really change that fluid in your drive way. In a shop, the container that pumps fluid has a long nozzle with a bend for reaching into a diff. You will need to pick up some sort of hand pump with a nozzle that can reach the hole. Check auto parts stores for a kit.
