    I hope you don't mind, but I had to add that to my sig!

    Took my Supra out in the snow for the first time today

    God's a forgiving guy, I'm sure he's cool with it. Besides, it's better than doing donuts in the street...

    Hey. Need help decidein what to do :)

    For 300 hp, I'd say get a decent boost gauge, a drjonez manual boost controller, and turn the boost up a bit. Gut your cat, and make sure to get a BIC downpipe to go with your catback and intake. I'd also recommend putting ARP head studs in making sure they're torqued down properly to reduce...

    Hey. Need help decidein what to do :)

    I was chatting with a guy I met on the forums named Nick, but I can't remember his handle... anyway, he's planning on a 2jz swap and he found a complete engine for like $1500. Now, it's a much more intensive swap, and it's true it isn't cheap, but it's the end goal that's important. I'd...

    Took my Supra out in the snow for the first time today

    I live in upstate NY, just outside of Albany, and, as the title suggests, today was the first time I took her out in the snow. We haven't had much snow at all this year, so even as my daily driver, this was the first decent chance. There's a church about 3 blocks from my house with a nice...

    Hey. Need help decidein what to do :)

    I'd say spend a few grand and do a 7m-gte or 2jz-gte swap. It's a pain in the ass, but it's a common thing. Hell, you can probably find a few guys on here willing to help. Then do a good exhaust from the downpipe back, add a good intake, and you'll be on your way. That's not to say you'll be...

    Anyone Cammed?

    Make sure you give us an update and review when you get them in though... I'd love to get a good set of aftermarket cams but i don't have the time or money to test different options.

    Nm shifter update

    I haven't read this whole thread, so I've got a few stupid questions. Feel free to throw insults at me, I won't argue. Are they rebuilt shifters, or are they completely new? Also, will it be possible in any way to order one then ship the core after we've received it? I know it's not the...

    Using digital speedometers?

    Ok, I'm gonna break into this wonderful little argument with a simple question that will probably make you both cringe at my stupidity. From all this mumbo-jumbo that you guys are spitting out, which most of us (myself included) don't understand, am I to gather that my busted speedo cable...

    Cat Converter is Fubar'd

    If the exhaust/cat are under warrantee, I'd deffinately bring it to whoever you got it from and make them fix it. Otherwise, I'd actually cut the cat out of the exhaust and put a new one in it's place using v-bands or something. Upside: future work on the exhaust will be a piece of cake...

    What spoiler is this?

    Is it just me or does it look like that wing utilizes the two side pieces off a stock 3-piece? If that's the case, it could mean having to spend more money if you want to put it on an 87 or 88 because you'd have to buy a 3-piecer as well. I might be mistaken of course, but that's something you...

    Getting Rid of Used Cats

    I've heard this a few times, but nobody seems to know which "right people" I should be talking to. I don't even need to make $60 off of it, I was just hoping for something. Does anyone know who buys used cats?

    Getting Rid of Used Cats

    I've got the pre-cat from my 88 turbo that I'm looking to get rid of. I know there are a few guys out there that buy them for a few bucks to get the plat out of them. If any of you are reading this, please drop me a line. Also, I've got the cat from the same car... this one is a bit more...

    Best downpipe for under $200?

    Well, my stocker is literally falling apart, so I need to replace it, not just cut out the cat. Unfortunately, I haven't got the $$ to buy the BIC RDP I want, so that will have to wait. Right now, I was just hoping to get a basic DP that does away with the elbow. I was thinking of getting a...

    Best downpipe for under $200?

    So with xmas gone, I've suddenly found myself with a few bucks, and I'm badly in need of a downpipe. My stocker is falling apart/off, and I'd like to get a new one that eliminates the turbo elbow. The downside is that I've only got about $200 to work with. What is the best downpipe I can get...

    Old Cam Question

    The cams I ordered are stock spec, but I had my mechanic order them and they were shipped directly to him, so I haven't seen them myself. I can try to find the info on them if that would help. I know they cost between $150 and $200 each, but I'd have to poke around to get any more info.

    Old Cam Question

    The scoring really isn't that bad at all. A little steel wool and elbow grease and they should be fine. The only reason I'm not using them is I decided to put new cams in since I was strapping a new head on. I think they'd be great for someone doing a rebuild, but I just don't know the market...
