    Supra wins on "Pinks" reminder Show time-

    My program didn't say it was on until midnight, not 8 PM, or whatever your local time is.

    Code 12, revisited

    It doesn't cause a high idle, but it can cause a stall or no start. I would look at the wiring and connections of the pick up before thinking the pickup itself doesn't work.

    Best trim size for Upgraded CT26 on 7M w/o changing fuel system

    If you are going to play that game, be sure to keep all the old equipment. If you run a CT26 flanged turbo, it wouldn't hurt to keep the stock downpipe either. The cat is expensive.

    SAFC II Tuning Basic

    Closed loop, regardless of any system is when it is responding to its own control. So for us, the ECU is reading the oxygen sensor and adjusting fuel with it. Open loop is not.

    7mgte head vs 7mge head

    Probably because so many people bought a GE intake cam off ebay. They are different as noted. Not by much, but enough to matter.

    Air bag light

    Of course it is cause for concern. Otherwise Toyota would not have installed the warning light. Typical problem is an open circuit. If you look in the book, Toyota calls it a "squib". Don't ask me where that name comes from. What I often found is things like Coke or Pepsi had been spilled on...

    Thoughts on your auto to 5 speed swap?

    You should have just bought a 5 speed car.

    wat does this mean

    That raises main line pressure based on throttle position. No need for high pressure when you are at part throttle heading to the grocery store. When you stomp on it, the pressure goes up anyway.

    Anybody know the inside diamter of the 96" hose in the perma cool kit 10695?

    anyone instrested in Titan 7mgte pistons

    Even I would consider spending some coin on that if it raised compression. The stocker has a deep dish and valve relifs cast into it. That looks like it has a partial dome.

    Don't lock that cable in place though.

    anyone instrested in Titan 7mgte pistons

    Unless that is an optical illusion, I am not seeing that. Have you seen a stock piston? I assume you had.

    automatic transmission question

    That is assuming stock applications. Great point and advice though. Get a real cooler. Even the things Uhaul sells is better than plumbing it through the radiator.

    anyone instrested in Titan 7mgte pistons

    That is quite the dome. What is the CR with stock 7M combustion chamber?

    Best trim size for Upgraded CT26 on 7M w/o changing fuel system

    The aftermarket cats don't work to well from what I have seen. Some cars are richer by design than others, and a universal TWC is made for the masses. I have seen a few failures over the years with them.

    oil pressure

    20 psi at idle is perfect acceptable. You may or may not be low, or have lost volume. The only way to know for sure is to check with a mechanical guage.

    I hate valve shims

    You don't even need the cam pliers. A small nail pulling like prybar works. Put it on the edge, roll the bar so the spring depresses, and put in the toll that holds it down. Then slip in the magnet. Look at the other shims. You can do more than one at a time. You have to be off the lobe.

    EBAY Rear Brake rotors, anyone bought these?

    It isn't. The trade off is not there for stopping. What a bunch of unadulteraed BS.

    +Original Supra reviews

    Take note of SC's edit. He lined them up like in the mag. The comments are mine. They do when they are taken care of and not riced out.

    differential ratio's

    3 or 5 in the axle code indicates LSD. Yes, 3 and 5 are different ratio's.
