    What do you think of this supra?

    +1 But you didn't mention those AWFUL looking doors. Can you say Lamarossa? The girl is not too bad though.

    What Color Should I Paint My Supra?

    Black is Sex when it's new - Sucks when it's old If you go Black, take especially good care of it I'd vote Charcoal Grey too if I could. I would say, that unless you disassemble the car for paint, a color change is not a great idea. You can have the door jams painted, but if you look through...

    ITS A ALIVE!! thanks everyone!

    Check your codes again. That BOV pipe vents back into the system post AFM, so I would assume it is accounted for. Not to mention you are probably sucking in quite a bit of unmetered air through the hole, if you don't have it blocked off. Block that off, and try again.

    CT26 specific turbo blanket?

    I wouldn't trust a turbo blanket that still depended on the stock heat shield. :ttiwwp: I would love to see some pictures, with the mfg mentioned

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    Mike, I think that picture would have been better for Dave's ancient thread than Jake's. Jake, sorry for reviving the dead. I was just dropping hints that my car was now running pretty good. I need to drive it over soon to help you out.

    How much should i ask for my car?

    I would say part it out. You may do better that way with those mods. Please, please don't do a crap repair, and pawn it off on some unsuspecting person. If you fix the gasket, do it right! go with a metal, and prep BOTH surfaces before slapping the head back on with ARP studs. You may also want...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I'm not calling it bad yet Jay. The car runs 300% better with a good set of coils, but it is not yet perfect. It still breaks up a bit when I get into boost, so I do need a tune. And remember, so far, I'm just using the stock boost gauge. Noah, I will get the wideband figured out next for...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Noah, I've tried playing with the NEO with it, and it makes no difference. I need to probably chase some wiring on it again to verify everything is correct. This weekend, I have been a home body, and haven't touched the car. I have stitches in my hand from a pretty wicked cut. I wanted to work...

    Supra Shirt, (SM approved)

    Got mine yesterday as well. High quality work, on the best quality "T" I have received yet. I'll definitely buy again.

    Checking out a 220k turbo

    There are a lot of missing variables here. Answer the earlier questions, and a few more. What condition is the car in otherwise? Is it trashed or well maintained? How bad is the leak? What is the asking price? Are you willing to work on this and many other problems, or will you be paying to have...

    That's Cool! I figured we were a couple weeks away.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I got the power and ground figured out. The power is on the cig lighter power, and ground is connected to a bolt in the steering column, where there is a good clean solid metal. It still acts pretty similar, but sometimes runs through the whole start up, and occasionally will give a few readings...

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    There was a message in my thread Chris. You're just in the wrong build for the progress. This thread will never get there:evil2:

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    If you ever make it over here to the mainland, and come to the south to visit Jake or Jay as promised.......I will bring my cat Chloe, and we should be able to get a live recreation.:naughty::biglaugh::aigo::evil2::icon_bigg You are in my head Noah! But, first things first. My wideband...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I'm guessing that was the problem with the set Dave sent. They looked brand new just about.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I can't concentrate on anything today I'm so excited. I just went to lunch, and so far, I'm still not getting anything more than stock boost........but just once, it hit so hard, I could tell it wanted more. It felt SOOOOOO good.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Hints were posted in a couple of other well known builds. We have a winner!!!! The set of coils I got from Dave, had one bad coil, so they didn't immediately do the trick. But, with my 1 good coil and Dave's 2 good coils, I brought the car to life last night. It wasn't until this morning...

    Olympics thread

    Phelps has Gills! I felt bad for the American Gymnast that fell on 2 straight events. That flip onto the balance beam that she fell on is INSANE when she does it right like she did in the Prelims. I felt bad again last night for the Chinese guy who was the favorite, as he had a very nasty...
