    My New Custom 800hp Wide Body Supra

    Is that a wastegate pipe popping out of the hood, or what?

    Messing around with my car again.

    I am planning to go ms3pro down the road, too. It'd be sweet to have sequential spark and ignition, no worries about screwing up ignition timing by trimming fuel like with piggy backs... I was even thinking about doing a hybrid MAF-MAP setup that uses MAF below a certain load and MAP above it...

    Messing around with my car again.

    Yeah, you could use a tablet to show a graphical tach, boost gauge, injector duty, things like that. It seems weird to use a tablet for that, basically a whole computer, but then when you think about the pricing, and that a purpose-built digital gauge display would probably cost 10x as much to...

    I miss the good old days

    Keep partisan political crap out of car threads, maybe? I don't know if you know this, but... both of our two shitty parties have an awful track record of bringing people who are too stupid to be voting out to the polls, usually with divisive social issues. Then when either side gets in to...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    I love the round quad setup. Sorry to go OT but what made you decide to switch back, rodel? Not for aesthetics, I'd think?

    A JZA70 style compressor hotside merge pipe came in the mail from another member here. Instead of turning 90* to the left toward the passenger fender like the Chaser pipe that I have, it bends forward and downward. I picked it up because it will result in fewer bends in my IC piping. There will...

    heim joints?

    nice tip, IJ... thanks. I'll be getting some fancy suspension parts soon and good to know they make these. I got a bunch of results searching for "seals-it RERS" on ebay and elsewhere. I'm guessing RERS is Rod End Rubber Seal or something? http://www.mooreparts.com/9769-FK-RERS4/

    Sold the Supra yesterday.

    what kind of power mods are you planning for the house? ;)

    Orange Poly Steering bushes

    I just bought a front and rear set from you but didn't get any steering bushings... I'm thinking now I should get a pair while they're available. It sounds like you have some unclaimed, so count me in! I'll send a PM.

    I miss the good old days

    I'm turning 30 in a few days, only recently reached the point of starting up the latest iteration of my project. Before a few weeks ago, I hadn't had a running supra since I ripped apart my black 89 non-turbo in ~2004, except for the few days I owned this one before pulling the motor out. I...

    Supra + Faye = Love. My first build thread. (beware, picture heavy...)

    You're looking at the right one, but the difference between that stock piece and the arizonaperformance one is subtle -- on the pump side the OEM piece uses a banjo bolt instead of the 90 degree fitting.

    Miekedmr's build thread

    I've got a fair amount of fabrication to do (brackets galore, making hoses, and welding up the actual IC piping) before I can share installed pictures. Next time I get a weekend to go work on it I should be able to get some progress pictures at least. Thanks for the encouragement. :) One...

    Miekedmr's build thread

    Updates: I picked up a whole bunch of hoses, fittings, and some heat exchangers, to continue the trend towards possibly the most absurd, overkill water-to-air setup to ever grace a supra. This water to air setup will include two stages of cooling, now. On the way from the intercooler cores...

    The diamond in the rough. 1991 blue metallic turbo targa restoration

    Oh, I see. I had forgotten/am a little surprised to rediscover anyone bothers making a worse-than-oem quality composite gasket. it seems pretty sadistic given all the issues with the factory installed ones...

    Are you saying that because he didn't get the head and block machine-resurfaced? It'd be helpful to explain your reasoning.

    Jeez, twin disc are expensives !

    I can say the pedal feel/stiffness and engagement on the Spec twin I got is really very nice. It's easy to push, relatively smooth. There were some issues with the earlier ones from them, before they started including a replacement slave cylinder in the kit. I haven't had a chance to beat...

    Norwegian rustbucket: 7MGE -> 7MGTE Matt Black

    Nice job. It looks a little weird to me, being so used to the normal. Have you thought about putting sideskirts on? I think they might compliment the smooth doors nicely.

    So I have to admit.. my wild auxiliary-motor-driven-supercharger pipe dream is likely to stay a pipe dream... for at least 5 more years. and if I do take a stab at building something like that it might not even go on the supra. Current TO-DO list: - Make oil plumbing and wiring...
