    Would you reupholster this?

    Leather is teh suck. Cloth is FTW. I'm re-uphostering mine in cloth. The new microfiber stuff is amazing.

    Post LED clusters and climate controls.

    No, it cannot. The digidash lighting isn't done with bulbs. Except for a very few bits, anyway, like the turn signals.

    Anyone ever used Engine restore?

    A buddy of mine used it in his 77 corolla as well, with similar results in his compression. The engine was well on it's way out, and only lasted a couple more months. We pulled it out and tore it down after. OMG. What a MESS. Getting that crap off everything was a huge pain in the ass...

    Budget upgrades with a Canadian twist...

    Here is a link for you - several vendors actually carry this unit, but HPF is the only place I could find it online. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/Turbonetics/Turbos/Turbo_Kits This used to be under $1000, I see the price has gone up a bit. This is the unit that I...

    Mystery coolant leak **PICS** (formerly Hole Corroded in Head)

    x2. I've had this exact problem. I lost the head gasket seal between the water jacket and the EXTERIOR of the head. At operating temp, it would leak a bit. Leakdown test passed, block test passed, compression was fine. Eventually the task of adding a bit more coolant every 2000 miles got...

    I'm considering a MAFT Pro

    Do it. It does everything Doward mentioned, plus you can get rid of the ancient AFM sensor for air monitoring, plug a wideband into it and let it auto tune your WOT, AND you can tune it with a computer. And load and save different configurations from the computer. I love mine. And I...

    Best color for a black 91 spoke wheels?

    Everything looks better with silver or chrome wheels. Except burly mountain bikes, which look better with black wheels.

    7mgte new headgasket no start

    How did you check for fuel? How did you check for spark? How did you align the crank and the camshafts? How did you align the Cam Position Sensor?

    Upgrade my CT26 or switch to a T3 or T4?

    Mine wasn't. IMO, anything over the 57 trim wheel puts too much stress on the CHRA, leading to failure.

    Budget upgrades with a Canadian twist...

    He's talking about 350 with a CT or 450 with a Boss. I'd suggest looking into a Turbonetics like mine - still direct bolt on, but the cost is considerably lower. JTamulis on here carries those. I'd pass on the techtom idea, for that kind of money you can buy a MAFT Pro, and all of it's...

    Upgrade my CT26 or switch to a T3 or T4?

    Upgrade the CT. If you're on a budget, it's the absolute best bang for your buck. The T3 or T4 will require a new downpipe and oil fittings, the pair of those will increase the cost substantially.

    What's a good setup I can have without having to add an amp?

    You can get 5 1/4 inch speakers in both front and rear location without the fancy speaker pods. I have them in mine... :) No cutting, either.

    'Hearty Eater' Says Buffet Banned Him

    We've got a breakfast place up here like that. All the waiters act like they are gay, they make fun of you, make you get your own coffee, etc. And they act like they are doing you a favor, too: "You want coffee? Haven't you been here before? It's right over there, get it yourself. I don't...

    'Hearty Eater' Says Buffet Banned Him

    LOL - I've been kicked out for eating too much. Well, our whole party got kicked out because my buddy was still eating. It was one of those steak and all you can eat prawns deals. My buddy, who's a big guy, 6'1" and about 3 bills, was just over 200 prawns and he started to get loud...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    My IAT is in the same place, this after I put it in between the valve covers initially, which turned out to suffer from heat soak bigtime. This spot is awesome. I figure if the air going in picks up some heat going by the turbo it'll expand a bit, meaning less air goes in than I expect, less...

    Really cool cop, What the wierdiest once in a lifetime story you guys have?

    Most of my stories really aren't repeatable - kind of the what happens in Vegas thing, except without the Vegas. ;) However, there are a couple... tie a rope to the rear bumper on the lifted Hilux, then string tin cans every foot or so. It dangles on the road, whips back and forth like a...
