    Rebuilding w58 cost?

    Ah yes, it would be very educational... but can you afford to have the car down that long? I thought the Supra was your only car?

    Smoke when ACIS valve opens?

    If it's blowing out old build up then it's probably not seeing sufficient mass and air velocity until that point. Although I wouldn't discount the possibility that you're running rich either... probably a combination of the two.

    Lug nut broke off the hub!!!

    I'm gonna go with "yes" here. I feel that in your hands a torque wrench holds many positive possibilities. ;) I presume you don't have the money to afford a wheel coming off while you're on the freeway then? Hell, just pick up a cheap one for right now, it may not be dead on but 70 or 78lbs is a...

    Lug nut broke off the hub!!!

    This whole thing reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend about two years ago... Me: Putting a lot of pressure on those lugs, aren't ya? Him: Yeah, I always make sure they're on well. Me: How do you know they're on well? Him: You tighten them until you hear the first "pop". Me...

    Rebuilding w58 cost?

    Okay, I think you've had enough time to clean up the engine bay... it's time for you to come over.

    Lug nut broke off the hub!!!

    He said put the new STUD (see bolt, lug, long metal thingy with threads on the OUTSIDE) in the freezer, not the lug nut.

    Smoke when ACIS valve opens?

    My car's running very rich and when it was being dyno'd there was so much black smoke that I almost freaked. My AFRs were between 11.3 and 11.7 after 3700RPM. Started going rich at about 3200.

    alarm choices

    Personally, I wouldn't use either. Are you willing to bet your car on it? I've known people who have had some real pieces of crap stolen.

    Question on SHOCK+SPRING combination

    I'm just curious if any sort of consensus had ever been reached. Personally, I've hear far more negative commentary about Tokico than KYB. I only brought up what Flubyux had to say because I read the KYB warranty which conflicts with what happened to him.

    Question on SHOCK+SPRING combination

    That sucks, I guess they didn't read their own warranty: "The warranty is void if the product is used on excessively lowered (over 1.5") vehicles or in an aftermarket coilover suspension system." At any rate, my poor ass is going to be installing a set tomorrow. Guess I'll see how they...

    Hello from Tenn.

    Welcome to the forum! This is definitely a great place. Sounds like a very fun build you've got there. How about some pics? Good luck with the MAFT Pro setup. I really love that system. Feel free to barrage me with any questions you may have... it's been kind of lonely. ;)

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Verify your info. I'm doubtful of its accuracy. My engine and transmission are, to the best of my knowledge, stock USDM.

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Okay, I've never heard that before. Where'd you get this info? I'm not the only person with an N/A who's swapped in a taller diff and had this issue. I could see it being a revision thing, but can't imagine any reason why they would use a different size gear in a different region. Seriously, I'd...

    Cool, well, if it works get me the part number. :D

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    FYI - R154 Speedo gears don't fit the W58. The gear itself has a smaller diameter.

    Clock pinout, can someone check something for me?

    I don't think it's labeled that way in the TSRM either, just numbered like in the TEWD. Thanks though. EDIT: Just in case anyone else needs this info in the future the pins on the board which the harness connects to are: C = Dome fuse (continuous power supply) D = Cig fuse (power the display...

    Clock pinout, can someone check something for me?

    I'm at work and I don't have a clock here to check this. I need to know which circuit the following pins on the back of the clock connect to (they're labeled on the PCB the wiring harness connects to inside the clock): G - I believe this is the Ground (pin 4 in the TEWD) L - Perhaps the...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Sounds like you've got a 4.1 torsen diff. It's not a USDM diff. Take it easy on the launches, they apparently like to break from hard driving.

    The day has FINALLY come...

    Well, if you just want to get something on there for now, try that salvage yard I told you about. The washer has a nozzle which mounts in the upper trim piece. ;)
