    Supra enthusiast or just gay?

    Heh... don't worry about the hood. I've crawled around on mine for one reason or another, and it it can hold up my portly 200 lbs without any dents, I think it can hold her 100 lb soaking wet in cement overshoes frame. :D

    New wheels and painted trim

    Wow - all you need is some lettering in a dark grey that says "No step" & "Caution, air intake" and it'll look like a military stealth setup. :)

    looks like i got just got banned for the first time!

    Is it just me, or does that chicken look like it's sucking it's thumb to everyone? :D A quick note on Siman - he's taken a fair bit of heat because we think he's worth keeping. There are people who don't take any heat - because they just get instantly banned in a rather permanent fashion...

    SupraMania.com stickers! Who's in?

    Unsatisfying Update. :( Hate to admit it folks, but I don't know what is going on. A member here was going to cut the stickers for us and forward them to me - last I heard from him was 3 weeks ago on 5/12/2005, and now he isn't replying (or reading) my PMs. My thought is to give him some...

    Suprastore

    Suprastore has had a bad reputation for a long time. I haven't heard much one way or the other for the last couple years, so they could easily have improved since.

    Wow, this site has really taken off!

    Heh... I think the congratulations belong with the members. They are the ones causing the growth - either indirectly, by contributing knowledge that attracts more people, or directly, by recruiting people they meet. The mod team tries to be reasonable, and the admin team tries to set things...

    clutch bearing confushion

    You should only have two bearings. The TO is the same as the release bearing.

    DDP vs 3' Dp and bigger elbow

    All you need to do is not rip around town at wide open throttle all the time and it's very quiet. Methinks your bro has a problem with the old lead foot disease, no? ;)

    ok my new toys in one thread lol

    Nice gear! I was hesitant about clear lenses on the yellow car, but you've made a convert out of me. Those look WAY better than stock on there - the stock ones seem to vanish into the shadow, these stand out nicely.

    oil in hardpipes??? and intake??

    More than likely PCV. Mine does the same. When checking the fog lights, the very first thing to check is the fuse. The second thing to check is the bulbs... I've had problems keeping bulbs alive in there.

    DDP vs 3' Dp and bigger elbow

    IIRC, the car was stock otherwise. If there were mods, it was very minor - cat back exhaust, perhaps. No boost controller, I remember that for sure.

    DDP vs 3' Dp and bigger elbow

    I went from a 3inch elbow and DP to the DDP with integrated elbow. I haven't been dynoing the results, but there was definitely more power there. Randy has dyno sheets that show a 29 rwhp increase when moving from a regular 3" DP to the 3" DDP. Dynos were done on the same car, same day...

    Fuel cut ???

    Most likely this is a boost leak. Check all your couplers, vacuum lines, everything that could be leaking boost...

    fuel cut on 1 2 shift.

    I had the same issue until I switched to a MAFT.

    Unfortunately, modding is a job where you will be lumped together. Members don't complain about a few bad mods, they complain about a bad mod team. :(

    general 7mgte performance build up questions

    IMO, if it's a MHG (and it doesn't have a rivet on the sealing surface like some cometics had) it's as good as any other MHG. Stock toyota timing belt is fine. So is an aftermarket, for that matter. If you manage to buy an engine harness for a reasonable price, let me know. I want one...

    NA Pistons in a Turbo

    I agree with Joe. You gain low end torque, and spool is faster. You lose potential top end... so you're never going to build a 900rwhp monster with NA pistons unless you mount a head spacer to drop your compression again. John Lunsford is absolutely running high compression pistons, see...

    more idle/rev problems... im stumped..

    Well, this is the obvious bits, because it's been well documented for a long time... :)

    Yes... broken turbo = excuse to buy some shiny bits. :)

    Do you wear flannel!?

    Flannel is good. The ladies can wear flannel nighties on satin sheets - or satin nighties on flannel sheets, for that matter, without ending up on the floor beside the bed a few hours after they go to sleep. There are few things nicer than a warm lady in a flannel babydoll in front of a...
