    single sub setups

    What's wrong with mounting the tweeters in the doors? I've got inverted dome-ferite cooled tweeters, in my doors (up towards the top of the inner door panel acrooss from the exterior mirror) midranges mounted in the dooor panel where the stock speakers were powered by a 1000 watt amp and 1 10"...

    oil smoke after 5mins of starting at random times

    I'm just curious (and by the way I sincerely hope the problem never returns) have you done a compression test cylinder by cylinder? Cause it sounds like a problem I had a couple of years ago...i.e. only smokes intermitantly and then mysteriously disappears and the reappears and then...

    OIL Pressure Questions

    shaef is right in that "there's plenty wrong with the oiling system" ...but to be fair to the 7m motor I really think he should have added that whatever design shortcommings the 7m oil system has would only affect a very high reving (alot more than stock redline) very modified engine. From my...

    custom shifter for auto trans

    Does anyone know of a custom shifter made for a Mkiii w/ automatic transmission? The stock unit looks like it came out of my moms stationwagon. Not so much a performance issue as much as an asthetic issue. Has anyone ever tried to adapt a B&M auto shifter? They have a short auto shifter that...

    OIL Pressure Questions

    To address the original issue of oil pressure...while it is true the supra 7m motors do not produce a ton of oil pressure they do however produce a lot of volume. In other words low pressure, but pump alot of oil. I've never seen one have an oil delivery issue with a good working stock oil pump...

    POOR MAN'S electric fans?

    I'm using a dual fan setup from a subaru. They're low profile (thin), quiet, reliable and pull a ton of air. I've got one set thermostatically and the other on a toggle switch. Frankly, they seem to be of higher quality than any of the aftermarket electric fans I've seen. Cost me $40.00 and they...

    Radiator question

I have found you can buy a replacement radiator that drops right it but isnt plastic (composite) for around $200-$250 dollars all day long that works better and is more durable then that stock pos. BE WARNED!!! I patched my last broken...

    Atf Gushing Out Of Auto Trans But From Where?

    :icon_conf :icon_conf UPDATE: I drove the car after putting in the previously mentioned 3 quarts of ATF and it drives fine.....no leaks, like nothing ever happened. I've been around the block enough to know that this is not the end of the problem, but as of this moment you'd never know...

    Atf Gushing Out Of Auto Trans But From Where?

    MORE INFO: I put 3 quarts of ATF in the tranny just now and started it up to see what would happen. To my surprise nothing leaked out...incredible when you consider fluid was gushing out seemingly under pressure last night. It even went into gear! Granted its still so low on ATF that the level...

    Atf Gushing Out Of Auto Trans But From Where?

    It's not coming out of the lines to the radiator. and its not wet above the top of the transmission. I got under it after I flatbeded ot home and still couldnt see where it was coming from. The only thing I can guess based on the mess the atf left behind is that it may be from the pan gasket but...

    Atf Gushing Out Of Auto Trans But From Where?

    :1zhelp: I just finished doing the top end of my 87 N/A supra and while on its maiden voyage to my girlfriends I got off the freeway and the auto trans didnt want to engage. I pulled into a gas station and realized my transmission was gushing ATF (sounded like a radiator leak). I got under the...
