    minor engine knock, any ideas???

    Potentionally, this is what happens when someobody drops in new crank and rod bearings on a damged crank. It is quiet for a while, then gets noisy again. I havent seen your car yet, so keep in mind that it could be something else knocking.

    G-Tec 0-60 times?

    Even if itsn't calibrated dead nuts new, the consitiency is good for checking mods and backyard tuning.

    fuel ????

    I heard if you put in a neon light in the dash, that is another 40 hp. FYI for everybody, the ECT button changes the shift schedule, nothing more. Since the TPS and not a TV cable is used for shift timing, (cable is to raise pressure) the ECT button will delay upshift and provide a downshift...

    K&N FIPK and making the AFM dirty?

    Not on the wiring, ours is not a hot wire MAF. But yes over oiling can make for bad signals. Hence, the reason K&N says not to do it.

    Drifters Unite!

    No replacement for displacement. And a V8 vs inline and however many cylinders you have do not affect "top end".

    Tail Circuit. blowing fuses.

    ??? From TSRM online EWD http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/Wiring/pages/Page_062.html Good to hear you found it. Blowing fuses is usually a direct ground, which is what a bare wire will give you when it contacts ground.

    87-89 vs 89 up R154

    And I was filling in the gap of your memory where you thought there was two transmission driveshafts.

    How much boost on stock gasket.

    Something has to give. Do you want to lose the headgasket at 500 hp, or the shortblock?

    87-89 vs 89 up R154

    Did you really search that hard? The W58 from the 7MGE and the R154 for the 7MGTE are not the same length. So if you change transmissions, you need to change driveshafts.

    Are electric fans worth it?

    Misstated information is not the same as an opinion. An opinion would be that blue is a nice color. A fact would be that you need a large electric motor to run as fast as the fan clutch will.

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    Those pictures are obviously of Iraqi's after the fall of the nazi like Batthist regime. Nazi like in the socialist system they ran. The overwhelming majority of Iraqi's are pleased with us. The overwhelming majority are probably ready for us to go though too. The overwhelming majority of...

    My fellow americans... (Warning: US Politics)

    I call it moral decay. Things like cranking out babies when people can't pay rent now. And then pilfering the taxpayers to pick up the slack. Of course, people are an asset, but some(many) need to be far more responsible. edit: Or the Constitution party.

    Do your own oil changes!

    If anybody can put on the filter as tight as Toyota says by hand, I would like to see it. If you wipe the mating surface, put NEW oil in the seal and install it according to specs, you will need a filter wrench to take it off. edit: I remember those stupid billboards with a female saying...

    JDM vs US engine

    I won't comment on Rabid Chimp, as I don't know who does the rebuild or what their education/skill level is. But JDM isn't really saying anything. All Supras are built in Japan, including their engines. Cars destined for different countries sometimes have different emission requirements. US cars...

    I'm retarded or something

    Do you have an electrical wiring diagram? If not, here is the fog lights. The control side of the relay is powered from the headlights. The headlights have to be on to activate the fog lamp relay. The switch provides the ground path. To wire without the headlights you simply provide just about...
