    pulstar spark plugs

    actually, there is a good reason they don't use K&N airfilters... the oil used can mess up AFM's not to mention a normal paper element protects FAR better then anything else... Headers aren't cost effective, even so, they use a tubualr manifold on the corvettes that is VERY hard to improve...

    windy window

    It's a REALLY shitty job to do, it took hours to get mine "close enough" Not until I replaced the targa seals did it ever shut up as the seals will eventually stick in the position the window was in, move the window and it won't seal anymore...

    boostin??

    wrong side of the turbo to effect the whole boost pressure/flow issue... Did you do anything else? Check for leaks and reset your boost controller, it might have been bumped or something...

    valve cover leak

    do NOT overtighten though... it's 24 INCH lbs, not 24 FOOT lbs... That is the reason they used the screws instead of a normal bolt, so people wouldn't overtighten...

    Rant: Hit and run

    I feel yah... My Supra's got 2 new large dents in the one straight front fender I had, and my fiance's new(ish) neon has a nice large dent in the side (2 dents in one spot) all from assholes in parking lots. Not a good day when you walk out to go to lunch from work and have a huge dent in...

    My Geo Got Broken Into

    Sheesh... School books are EXPENSIVE and can be EASILY unloaded for cash, it's not a stupid move in any way. Used to happen a lot at my local college. The GPS unit was a bad move man, not gonna hold punches, take that damn thing with you! I have one and always remove it from the...

    OEM 7mgte exhaust manifold

    Do NOT gasket match the head, it's supposed to be a bit smaller to stop reversion from the blockage in the exhaust (the turbo). The manifold itself you can pretty much go to town on, but keep in mind cast iron is very hard and dirty... The nubs around where the studs are are pretty obvious...

    How the???

    Autozone carries the required tool to remove them (comes in a 3 pack of I think 12, 13, and 14mm) Might require an impact to remove though. There is a writeup on cygnus: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/head_coolant_leak.aspx

    Upgraded Ignition System?

    +1 Yes, the stock system is VERY durable compared to most systems. No points, no distributor caps to replace, nothing. The coils do crack with age (but come on, most cars have the ORIGINAL coils, not many cars can attest to that), and the wiring can go bad for the CPS, coils, and plugs...

    What is this plug??

    don't think that either as I don't think those are located on that part of the harness... I'm thinking Oil Level as well as I think I recall the plug for the sensor looking like that...

    hints/tips/tricks marlincrawler shifter bushing install?

    yeah, mine is well greased, but the shifter still sits a bit to the right... It looks like the top plate that holds everything together might be a bit worn... Also, yes, you SHOULD be able to downshift into first, but it's not supposed to be easy over a certain speed... Every toyota I've...

    windy window

    yeah, there is TONS of adjustment... In all honesty it seems like the aftermarket windows don't have quite the same dimensions, so getting them to fit right and seal is a royal pain...
