Guys, the fact that there are nice, reliable ones out there does not eliminate the fact that there are PITA ones. If you are lucky, you will certainly have a good experience. The same goes for winning the lottery, or winning big in Vegas, although the odds distribution had better be a lot more...

Maybe they only send the shitty ones to Canada? I've got 2 friends with C5s. One of them didn't make it a block from the dealership on the day he picked it up. It's been in and out of the shop ever since. He got so annoyed with the CEL being on all the time that he put a black sticker over...

Pretty tough to search for such things when you can't spell.

Wrong forum. The MKIII Supra Reference/Tech-Tips area is reserved for commonly asked questions that have already been answered, not a place to post new questions. Thread moved.

I'm going even larger than DIN. I haven't found a flip out that gives me at least 800x600 native for a PC VGA input.

wtf? I'll be glued to the news at 11, I guess...

A friend of mine went lambo on his DSM. The car became a fair weather car only, because it was utterly impossible to stop the leaks afterwards. Worse, under high G corners, the latches could pop open and let the door up. That was embarrassing.

The fact that your RPM doesn't drop to where it should after driving leads me to believe that you have a leak in your intake tract somewhere. I'd suggest building a boost leak tester and finding the leak(s).

Until they take care of the reliability problems, you cannot use a Corvette as a daily driver. Brand new, right off the lot, they still spend at least 50% of their life at the dealer, getting something fixed. And if you think this is the usual thing for a 'supercar', try buying a Porsche...

Allow me to introduce you to batch processing. http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=25272

No. What we are saying is that revving the engine, while producing more exhaust, still doesn't produce enough to spool squat, especially on a stock turbo. If you want to learn the physics behind it, I suggest you spend the $23 and get a copy of the bible...

Wait a minute... I thought yours WERE new? Or was this on the old ones?

JMD did that style, I did the other style. I don't know if he still has any, or if he's willing to cut more on demand, but it can't hurt to send him a PM.

Dude, your wastegate should not open without load on the engine. If it is, there's something odd going on.

Could also be a loose connection to the temp sensor sender...

Dammit, I have to get Samba / FTP / SOMETHING setup and working on my Linux box again. Here's the pics Duane shot on the way North again after the meet. http://idriders.com/Supras/centralia/

Nice! I've heard this idea thrown about a lot of times, but never seen it actually done.

lol - I don't have a solution, I'm just pointing out the problem! The best method I can think of to get rid of it would likely mean eliminating most of the head... certainly the cams would go. I'd move to a pneumatic air driven valve system, dropping the cams, buckets, shims, and...

So, someone writes you a bad check, do you go after your bank for it? Hell, do you even go after their bank? No, you go after the clown that wrote you the bad check.

How did you put enough pressure on it?
