6 1/2 years in the Supra, 12 in Toyotas. Cars I've owned: 96-98 - 88 Hyundai Excel GLS (hand me down from my dad) 98-99 - 85 Celica GTS (22RE, didn't know much about cars back then and let it overheat 1 too many times, chassis went to a guy in Wisconsin that rolled one after a fresh engine...

I'm running the Comp Cams springs with the stock valves. Just cleaned them up really well before throwing them back in with some new seals. Overall it feels much better over 5k than it used to. Nice and smooth all the way to redline. 975-12 is the part number. You need 2 boxes. They're for...

704-1076 : get 4 IIRC they were ~$1 each. Finally did mine when I did the BHG job not too long ago. It's MUCH easier to change plugs (no need for the 3k pipe to come off w/a swivel) and looks sooo good.

Seriously though, without knowing the person and what they've done to the Supra already it's hard to say. For example, they may be an HKS fanboy and we tell you to get an Apexi part, or maybe they just replaced the brake lines but we tell you to get brake lines... Toyota goodies are always...

<- 1 DD 7MGTE powered MKIII and a wife. She used to get upset about it until I showed her the real 'keep the Supra' vs 'buy a new sports car' costs (figuring MKIII vs 350z/IS250/RX8...). There were some real good fights about how I needed to sell the Supra and stop trying to daily a 'project...

OT but how did you fix this??? I think I'm having the same thing because when it's cold I have a squeal that's speed related. Sounds like the front passenger bearing but I have already replaced it once (along with the hub) trying to fix it and the sound is exactly the same. Only happens on...

To get back and forth while wearing the above shirt (MSRP $99.99 so the shirt and this would fall into your budget, everyone knows 2 gifts is better than 1):

Yes it will. I had one from a short shift kit that I got for my 95 Celica (rip) and it fits very well in the Supra interior. Very comfy. It's the only shift knob I've used in the last 10 years. ;)

I've got a reader board (SOLD) that I never even bought the components for sitting at the house. PM me if you want it and we can work something out (I'll let it go for the cost of shipping, still new in the packaging 3p sent it in). Great work btw. It looks like the boards will be ready by...

Free software FTW!!! On OSX: exPod : link On Windows: iRip : link Can't tell you how many times I've had to do this for friends/family. I haven't used iRip yet as I run OSX but Little App Factory makes decent apps for the Mac so it should work fine. Just used iRip and it worked fine in XP on...

That sounds like valve stem seals. Turbo seals would be either constant or mainly during deceleration. Of course mine started that way and ended up getting worse after a few months... BHG FTL.

Tired wastegate spring + restrictive factory 'elbow' coming off the turbo. Factory spec is: Manual = 5.5 - 7.5 psi Auto = 4.8 - 6 psi And don't rely on the factory gauge. About the only thing it's good for is telling whether or not there is turbo pressure. It's not very accurate and very...

Oh how I miss the snow. Though I wouldn't even try driving the Supra in it (or anything rwd for that matter). Nice pics.

There are a couple of ways. HKS VPC (Vein Pressure Converter) : one of the earliest 'AFM delete' mods MAFT-Pro : newer piggyback tuning device capable of using a GM MAP sensor in place of the AFM Standalone (MegaSquirt, AEM...) : Fully tunable you can use whatever sensors the system is capable of.

+1 Without those swivels you'd need an act of god to get the oil pipe bolts off/on.

The XPS 200 series uses 'slim' drives so those are a no go. DDR2 400 or 533 memory, so you'd want to upgrade that anyways. Pentium 4 or Pentium/Celeron D, definitely time for an upgrade. Overall if you're looking to upgrade anyways you may as well sell the XPS to someone or use it as a 2nd...

+1 on the Fram being junk but -1 on the 'lifetime' filters. Every Toyota filter I've seen needs to be changed somewhere around 150k. Get a Toyota/Denso filter. And no, there isn't an easy way to swap it. You will drip fuel so have some rags handy.

Clogged filter or shot fuel pump. If all that happened between running decently and running rough/stalling is that you ran it past E then you probably picked some sediment off the bottom of the tank. Toyota fuel filters are 'supposed' to last forever but realistically it's more like 100-150k.
