    New tires, pics inside

    They've got more balls than I do. And I've done some pretty crazy shit behind the wheel now and then. I've managed to break them loose once, on a left hand turn at full boost. They started to squeal, and then very politely started to spin and slide sideways just a bit. Pulling back on the...

    Anyone heard of UGP Racing solid billet aluminum motor mounts?

    And for some counterpoint... I use solid engine mounts and I absolutely love them. They transfer enough vibration to the cabin to let you know you're not driving a luxury cruiser, but a performance car. The points listed in the eBay add are valid, any high power car will tear through the...

    Wanna tron?

    How can you NOT look? It's like watching a train wreck - you know it's going to scar you for life, but you just CAN'T TURN AWAY.

    Need help diagnosing a vacuum leak: intake side has a loud squeal...

    EGRless doesn't really mean much - you still have all the same gaskets that are subject to leaking. The only difference is that you are checking block off plates instead of EGR components.

    Length of engine mount bolts

    There are several sizes, it depends on which side and what bolts... Worse, it might also depend on whether you still have all the original engine braces.

    XFX or EVGA?

    I've only owned EVGA, and I've had mixed luck with them. My first one was DOA, and was a serious PITA to get warranty coverage because I live in Canada. My second one (not the warranty replacement, a new card entirely) has been 100% reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again if I lived...

    7m tops out at 95km/h ??

    Well, you can't have it in 4W low, because you'd never make it that fast. Where did you plug in the speedo? In the tranny that came with the truck, or are you using one from a Supra? Are you checking speed against your speedo, or with a buddy in another car with a known correct speedo? Do...

    Newish tires, problem all of a sudden

    Another +1 for Falken. The ones I am running now stick like glue. And the guys are right, take it back and complain, chances are they'll replace it for free.

    Actually, toss the copper washers and buy new ones from Toyota.

    does anyone have 6.5" JL's mounted

    Silk dome tweets for the win. Solid tweets are far too harsh. I'm running the JL gear, I like them a lot - they survive a lot longer than the other sets I've tried. I've blown up a lot of stereo gear over the years...

    Give 'er a go... it'll drop a decent amount with the vacuum hose on, too.

    FPR test questions

    That seems awfully high to me... my adjustment range started much lower than that. I assume if you tighten the screw, the FP increases above 50?
