You might have kinked the cable, and now it's got too much friction.

My first ride in a turbo was a black 87 targa 5 speed, and I was shopping for my first Supra. I gave it some throttle, and thought, " hmm. That's nice I guess". I think the car was only making like 3 psi, so it was nothing impressive, so I figured if that's as fast as the turbos are, I'll just...

Was gonna say the same thing. Almost every set of ex. valves I've seen had hard white carbon(?) buildup. I found it WAY too tiring to try to grind it off, so I just got new ex. valves.

I've never opened or closed my doors by the glass, and hardly ever is there someone in the passenger seat, yet they're both worn equally. Gotta inspect it more thoroughly though, to see where things are going wrong. Edit- Just had a thought- if the windows themselves are pressing against the...

You know- I made adjustments to both of mine, and I also replaced the felt guides with new dealer parts, but still have way too much in/out play to mine. I gave up.

I got your 'white' package....right here. Sorry- the title made me think of SNL. :biglaugh: Nice car BTW

OK, I just woke up, and already I've learned something new! That means I can be dumb for the rest of the day...:biglaugh: I didn't know that the Lexus karman sensor was plug and play to the Supra harness, I guess because I always heard of people putting the Lexus MAF body in, but always...

Is it just me, or does that look like a pre-89 nose? It's hard to tell, but they look like the earlier(longer) style of turn signals. I dunno. Looks like it's 89 everything else.

Well, this may sound dumb, but just check to see if any grounds of the harness are not secure. The deal with your boost gauge- that's obviously an electrical problem, like a bad ground.

Damn- I paid $16 at my dealership.

Any you? Lexus electronics in a stock Supra MAF??? I'm confused here. I thought you're supposed to use 7M electronics(so the ECU can cope) with the larger flowing MAF body from the Lexus??? If this is the case, I think I can see why you're both having problems. Someone help me understand!!

I thought the idea was to use STOCK electronics in a Lexus MAF??

Oh my...and yes, an 84mm headgasket would be fine, and like was said already, don't look for a thinner head gasket. Sounds like you want about a 1.4 or 1.5mm headgasket, if very little material was removed.

Wow. Everyone's already said it here, but that is awesome. I would also like to see some sunlight photos of it, especially once it has its mouldings on. At that point, I think the car is going to be Amazing. Go park it in the middle of a Ferrari meet, and see where everyone gravitates to...

At the start of next month, I'll be over on the lawrenceville/ Winder side of town as well, as I'm moving there. So keep this thread posted about any future meet, as I'll be happy to drive my ugly-ass work-in-progress over. :naughty:

LOL! I was wondering when someone would chime in about this "IT'S ALIVE!....ALIVE!!!!" :yelrotflm

Looks good. I personally didn't like the PBR ultimates, though. They made way more dust than any other pad i've used, and squealed all the time up front. I went back to metal masters.

Looks awesome. So where is the IC going to go? It doesn't look like theres room between the headlights, is there? I assume it's going below the bumper. Please tell me you're going to paint it black so it's nearly un-noticeable. :evil2: PS- The exhaust piping- I don't remember if you...

So did you ever get oil pressure to read?? PS- I wouldn't automatically assume that 51 is for AC. Check that the plug going to the TPS is secure.

I liked that vid- I did get a bit dizzy with the fast pic changes, but it was still well made. I was pissed when you took it down- I reloaded my video card drivers so I could see the video(it was in negative colors for some reason), and when I got it back up and running- the vid was gone...
