    Owner of a supra gets caught racing and gets car impounded.

    I'm a firm believer in "Acceleration is not a crime" :) fair enough if you're lighting up the tyres upon take off that's suspicious... But the law is always bent in their favour.. what can you do I guess... Oh and about impounding cars etc... the police have recently gotten very strict here...

    Aero Top Leak Point (Help me seal it!)

    Hi Guys, I have two leak points on my aero in the top right and top left corners (in the perspective that you are in the drivers seat) and I took a look from oustide and I can see why it's coming through as theres a little 3mm diameter dip or so.. where water piles up. What can I do...

    60-1 reliability issues?

    Supracentral you are my God :) Given me the reason I needed to install the an intercooler i've had when I got the car that's twice the thickness of the stock IC and a lot heavier. I thought that the weight was a negative but you're post makes total sense. Now to pressure testing that cooler and...

    egr block off helps cyl #6?

    Hi Guys, Was just watching a Turbo-A clip on youtube and after reading some of the comments and I had poked around here and there about EGR Block off plates and this post got me thinking whether blocking it will help with cyl6 cooling? since recirculating the exhaust gasses = hot temps? or does...

    Thermostat Location and replacement.

    Do thermostats in those from the USA die that easy due to excessive weather temperature differences? Coldest here in sydney is probably 15* and warmest 35* in summer, so if they are prone to fail more often due to massive temperature differences and the fact it hits negatives often in north...

    Does daddy ever let you drive it by yourself?

    HAha that must be a classic... acceptable once or twice but if you get it often enough it would frustrate you I assume. :) Sad story about that M5 driver, but then again if they were watching too much Top Gear they don't realise that they are trained professionals performing what they do in a...

    Thermostat Location and replacement.

    Why ever year? Are they that prone to fail? is it only a MK3 thing that they can't get right after 20 years or just a general car problem for any car owner with thermostats getting shot?.... I dont think mine's ever been replaced... so It i think is due for one, i'm just curious as to why you'd...

    Thermostat Location and replacement.

    Don't want to hi-jack this thread but I'm curious to replace mine, could T-Stats even if mine seems to be working, somehow have a malfunction where it doesn't open completely?? If that's the case and these don't cost much is it then worth it for me to just replace it? I say this as I think my...

    Dead/Dieing battery or Wiring issue?

    Thanks Tek for that write-up! I think too that it is a common problem because thinking back now to the times is happened, it's like you turn the key to start the car, and then nothing nothing 3-4seconds later it starts up. That made me think its some wiring issue, and the funny thing though is...

    Dead/Dieing battery or Wiring issue?

    Thanks guys for the replies, I have it booked in with my auto electrician on friday and i'll see how he goes with fixing it he thinks at the moment that it's the solenoid... but funny thing when I left from work took about 9th 10th key to get it to start, and then went to the auto elec it...

    Dead/Dieing battery or Wiring issue?

    Hi All, I recently hard wired my CPS, and that's all good whenever the car cranks it starts instantly so thats all fine and dandy. Only thing I have is just noticed today and it's probably happened to me a few times in the last year or so, you turn the key, you hear a click, but no crank... or...

    Thinking about buying a JVT Racing Radiator off ebay? Read here!

    It doesn't look to me like you have a lot of strain on your motor as far as cooling capacity goes as the setup looks pretty stock, what prompted you to upgrade your radiator?

    Weird symptoms and car won't start. What's your take?

    Like said in here, the CPS was what caused my hell with starting yet it was something so simple after i've now hard wired the wires by bypassing the plug. Check my thread here to see how mine looked, if yours look slightly pulled or twisted then that needs to get fixed.

    CPS Plug Re-Wiring Help

    I think it is pretty self evident how bad two of the wires had been basically snapped and unplugged almost... missing a lot of what's needed I guess to get a proper current across. Surprisingly the wiring on the CPS side has a new-ish feel where its not as stiff etc... A being the side going...
