    Picture of the Day!

    Got out to a park in Ann Arbor, MI over the weekend. It's the first time I've busted out the DSLR in a long time.

    The bugs are coming...

    Doesn't have to be the coast. I was in high school in Kansas City in 96. I'll never forget it. Quite the experience being dive bombed by them falling off of trees while walking home from school every day for a few weeks.

    Get ready for MI2K13 !!

    If it's a contest I'll throw the silencer in the exhaust and turn the EBC down to factory boost. ;) You should bring it up anyways though. As it stands I have more work to do before June. The drivers side door latch broke over the weekend. I've known the latch area on the door itself was...

    Get ready for MI2K13 !!

    For those who aren't on SM I finally got her back together and have been driving her to work all week. I ended up scrapping the stock oil cooler setup and am running on an NA stud w/o cooler until I swap in a couple years. Not going for massive power and not concerned about blowing up the 7M...

    Your other car

    Currently have a '12 Malibu LS as a DD and I drive the Supra every chance I get. The Malibu is a fleet car from work so I can't complain too much. If I had a choice in my DD it would likely be a Lexus LS430 or an IS300 Sport wagon.

    New From Orlando. FL

    Damn good find for $500. I normally don't visit the intro forum but I saw Orlando and had to check it out. I don't live there anymore but be sure to check out the monthly (used to be twice a month) Supra/Lexus meet on the East side. It's only posted on SF...

    Greddy PRofect-B install question.

    If it's already l->r UdUd (actuator w/out overboost) have you tried UddU (external wg w/out overboost)? If you get nothing both ways either something is broken or not hooked up properly.

    Greddy PRofect-B install question.

    For vacuum you need both 'intake -> control motor -> wastegate' and 'intake -> controller unit' hooked up. For electrical you need power, ground, and controller to motor hooked. It sounds like you have that much at least so it's likely in the dip switches. Try actuator style w/out overboost...

    Looking for plug wire suggestions for 1989 MkIII Turbo.

    They're even cheaper than that at RockAuto. NGK or Bosch will do just fine.

    Please help!Targa seals for sale in Europe?

    DM is a long long way from Europe. Any Toyota dealer should be able to source a set but you may want to compare prices vs what it would cost to ship from the US.

    Get ready for MI2K13 !!

    Since this year is dedicated to the wedding 2014 will be paint, body, and interior getting things ready. Fall 2014 will probably be spent trying to blow the 7M up once and for all.

    Get ready for MI2K13 !!

    Depending on how things go over the next couple weekends I might be in the sedan. Even if the Supra's running I'll just be spectating the dyno. If I had to guess based on mods/age of block I should be around 270-280 to the wheels. I took the Supra out last weekend and she had some nasty...

    Speedo not working

    One end of the cable is on the passenger side of the transmission near where the cat sits. It's the only cable in that area. It should go from the trans, into the bay near the downpipe, and behind the head into the firewall. If everything looks good there the other end is in the back of the...

    Speedo not working

    Most likely either not plugged in (VERY easy to check), the driven gear is bad/stripped, or the cable snapped internally. The speedo itself is rarely the issue. Not saying it can't happen but 95 out of 100 stop working because of the cable and 4 of the 5 left are the driven gear.

    Preventative maintenance, need some pointers.

    Check for play in tie rods and wheel bearings. You already mentioned the big items. If it gets you around town without any trouble you should be ok on the highway. Occasionally odd overheating issues that don't surface in to/from work/school/mall can pop up after 45 minutes on the highway but...

    Preventative maintenance, need some pointers.

    If you're replacing the slave replace the master at the same time. Belts and hoses are definitely the main things to check. Look for oil in the valley and replace the valve cover gaskets if needed. For a 10 hour drive a fresh alignment may be in order as well.

    40 + 40 * 0 + 1 = ?

    Basic math class. It's already been stated several times. According to 'proper' order of operations you get 41. If you just go left to right ignoring math standards you get 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemdas#Mnemonics

    Help cure cancer for free, join the Supra’s Folding Team!

    Looks like we can blame Sony: http://www.playstation.com/life/en/index.html I finally started folding again. I kept getting random glitches and lockups and it ended up being my 8GB of GSkill Sniper so I swapped it out a few weeks ago for 16GB of Corsair Vengeance. SSD + Z77 + 3570k + 16GB =...
