    Targa Headroom?

    You would think that people smart enough to create such a wonderful vehicle (we won't go into the whole BHG thing... I heard that was the work of an understudy filling in) as the Supra would have considered this scenarios and planned a little better for it. I suppose you could put on the...

    need advice on suspension

    The KYB AGX shocks (for the MKIV Supra) are said to fit but you should double check the dampening rates to ensure they're compatible especially that they'll do ok with the roads in your area. Also keep in mine you'll have to adjust them manually. I've asked before, don't recall getting an...

    Targa Headroom?

    The only only time I really have trouble is when I try to drive while wearing my bear suit... of course at times like that I probably shouldn't be allowed to drive anyway.

    N/A Gas milage.

    The next motherF#$KER who mentions ANYTHING about engine's needing back pressure is going to get their entire exhaust shoved up their tailpipe!!!! will be friended by TOM and I'll say mean things about you in my BLOG! Do some reading you bunch of worthless followers... Before you do all go...

    Targa Headroom?

    Oddly tall? WTF? You 4'3" or something... guess you never got the notice about the height minimum for the Supra. Huge cars need huge drivers. ;)

    Targa Headroom?

    Don't forget you can raise and lower the seat a little. I'm 6' and I definitely have more room in hard top MKIII's. The targa's are fine for me but I too need to recline a little more. I do seem to be far more prone to hitting my head when getting in and out of targa MKIII's though... bugs the...

    N/A Gas milage.

    The only thing about that that surprises me is that the difference was apparently big enough for him to mention. A restricted exhaust requires the engine to work harder as it has to push the exhaust all the way. You can actually test to see if your exhaust is causing problems due to unwanted...

    exhaust assembly question

    Have you tried test fitting it. I'm pretty sure the stock gasket will work... I suppose it depends on whether the new part's diameter is 2.5" outside diameter or inside diameter though.

    Ox or Vf signal to tap for simulating 02?

    Gotcha. Correct, as stated, you need to supply the signal to OX. I've already mentioned my only concern with this plan of action... I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm suggesting you pay attention to how hot things get as a result and trying to point out the the ECU aims under heavier...

    Ox or Vf signal to tap for simulating 02?

    I don't see what ever it is that you're looking at that's causing confusion. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=48 The OX line Y's out from the ECU to the O2 sensor and to the diag box. That's it. EDIT: Do keep in mind that the ECU tries to maintain stoich...

    Ox or Vf signal to tap for simulating 02?

    You can't feed a signal to Vf. At least not that I know of. OX is the ECU's input from the stock O2 sensor. That's the one you need to supply a signal to. I've been thinking of doing the same thing actually.

    Proper Operating Temps?

    The CSI is ONLY on when cranking the engine... and even then it's dependant upon a couple other factors. Temp has nothing to do with how fast the engine is "firing", that would be dependent on engine speed (see: RPM). ;) The timing map (what you're really asking about... it's like I'm...

    power steering problem

    Well, I see that the car is an '89... I don't know if those without PPS had it or not, but the pre89 power steering racks have a power steering damper which is supposed to help dampen things like you're describing. It looks like a shock absorber (it IS actually) and IIRC it's mounted to the...

    code 64?

    I believe it's an automatic transmission code. Bad solenoid or something along those lines. I can't recall for sure and I'm at work right now... don't have all my references available.

    miata battery

    This is going to be the number one deal breaker for most people. I think most people on here don't have houses or at least garages and aren't fond of the idea of running an extension cord outside to a car with a popped hood over night. Thanks for pointing this out too. It's astounding how...

    Gauge Cluster Needles: Paint Question

    That is the way to go. The reason not to pain the top is entirely related to illumination. The only light available if you paint the top is that which leaks out from the sides or the bottom... not very effective. I the case of using translucent paint on the top it too dims the light as the light...

    I'm sure it is... if it wasn't he'd be bragging about how his MKIII was the lightest MKIII on it's feet and complaining about the flaming tailpipe. :evil2: Disclaimer: Absolutely no offense was intended in this post.
