    Replaced Starter, now car dies while driving?

    Good thing you did it yourself. Because you would be blaming the mechanic right now. Are you sure all you did was change the starter? Idle speed control isn't something that usually dies, but it does happen. The motor(ISC) can get stuck with its old age and contamination. When they say...

    block crack in water jacket

    Clear pic? It might not be any good if you are close to the bore. It might be fixable too.

    Parking + Fog lights turn on when e-brake off

    Canadian Supra, or US? Those of us in the US have a slightly different wiring layout. Refrence the factory EWD for your schematic so you can wire it correct.

    ford 8.8 diff

    You mean the stock Traction Lok unit gave up, not the gear. It takes more shock load than a 302 engine and 4.56's to break a gear set. Assuming you don't have a factory defect in the casting process with heating or something.

    different injector

    The original injectors were low impedance I think. I will look in the repair manual for you.

    more torque

    When he shows you his talil lights, so what. :nono: You have to go through 3000 RPM before you get to 7000 RPM. It most certainly is based on the engine itself, and how large it is. The overall setup will affect how it will run. For example, a manifold with a large plenum and short runners...

    ford 8.8 diff

    What doesn't make sense? An IRS is a very good handling suspsension. By its design, it tries to fight squat and other forces. It make for a very balanced car. But that doesn't help you launch at all, it fights it. I can see it for drag purposes.

    Supra wins on "Pinks" reminder Show time-

    Perhaps some of you will build what is fast, instead of what you think is better. Now that you can see it for yourself.

    ford 8.8 diff

    If the stock gear diameter is 8.0 inches, and the Ford is 8.8, how will you mount that in the IRS? Fabricate a Ford IRS?

    "One week from today" 1jz Project.

    I don't see any corrosion/rust in the engine compartment. That should make for a nice final project.

    How much are those porterfield pads?

    regular or Synthetic oil?

    So you think synthetic will cause holes to form in the seals? How interesting. All jokes aside, there was a time when the additive pack in the synthetic didn't like conventionals and seals, and it caused a problem. Or something like that. Don't worry about it now. You can probably find the...

    Bedding in new brake pads. (Raining outside)

    Metallic pads often squeak on Toyota rotors, anti shim and squeal kits installed.

    I bought the OEM Brembo's. At least I have read that.

    Too much torque?

    The size of the crank? In what way? Bigger main journals mean more drag and less torque. You mean a longer stroke? A longer stroke increases displacement. :nono: .. No it isn't, horsepower is. Torque is force in a rotating manner. You can have all the force in the world and no work. And...
