    My car got hit...

    Ahhh, then the art form is truely lost to age.... it's supposed to be done while facing your opponent. Unless the new thing is doing it backward. My friend's M3 got a real nasty hole in the read driver's side fender from an automatic security gate with a mind of it's own. The hole's about...

    So there's a supra for $500 and it runs..... Buy it?

    That's MY car!!!! WTF~!? Just kidding. Although, it's probably got a few parts I could use. Or, if you decide to keep it I've probably got a few parts you could use. Either way if you decide to get it let me know. I think you'd at least make your money...

    Got my new Lambo hinges today. They're huge!!

    Possibly try to find a car with similar clearances and see if there's a specific kit for that car that could be modified to work. Some kits are more compact than the universal kits. Look at the Celica G7 page down toward the bottom: http://www.lambodoors.co.uk/ I'm not saying that kit...

    Got my new Lambo hinges today. They're huge!!

    I don't think I've ever seen a kit in on anything but Japanese MKIII's. You might try contacting someone here: http://www.onthebeat.jp/ or this guy: http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ma70supra_tatu/24309805.html Ask if they know if anyone's got pictures of how those are mounted or if they can at...

    Parking brake cable connection?

    The TSRM doesn't cover the cable assembly.. at least I couldn't ever find it. This is the Parking Brake section: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BR&Page=39 Wish I could be of more help, but I've never had to deal with that part of it.

    Clock Issues

    That's better. ;) I'm pretty sure that with the guage fuse blown the clock should still light up, same goes for the dimmer. It just won't dim when the headlights are turned on. The taillight and the dome fuses are what I would look at first.

    Clock Issues

    The clock's pretty easy to test. There are only four wires running to it. One's a constant 12v, one is tied in to the ignition, one is connected to the taillight circuit (illumination, ie: when you turn your headlights on it's active) and a ground...

    installing different vpc chip

    Well, I don't know what type of package they use on their IC's but, it's going to matter. Depengind on which package the IC is there will be a "key" either at one end or on one corner of the chip, it's usually an indention or clipped corner in the IC's case. Make sure the key on the new chip is...

    Car dies!!!

    You replaced the ISC? Then you were going to replace the TPS? Did you actually test them or are you just haphazardly replacing suspect parts? If you haven't already, start here for the testing procedures.

    class project

    I could write a textbook based on my first year of MKIII ownership. :( With as much information as there is available here and in the wiki, along with the advanced specs for the time I suspect the only problem you'll have is keeping the essay short enough and avoiding the feeling that you're...

    GE to GTE block?

    There was a long thread about the squirters on SF. Some GTE's didnt come with them, I *think* it was the Turbo A's.... unless the whole thing was a massive joke. EDIT: I'd love to post a link, but SF's dead..... again. There were a couple regulars involved in the discussion, I just can't...

    class project

    ROFL!!! :evil2: (Serious... just for a second) Post it up here when you're done. It actually could make for interesting content. I'm stunned at how much is posted on wikipedia, *someone* has WAY too much free time. It kind of makes you wonder if *he* even owns one. No actual owner of...

    7m oil pump

    There's only one P/N for it in the EPC: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?Figure=1501&Page=1

    Hot start problems

    Could also be a bad FC switch in the AFM. EDIT: Actually, it could be a couple different components in the AFM.

    GE to GTE block?

    The oil filter location isn't different, it's in the same place. The turbo has a thermostat and oil cooler outlet mounted between the filter and the block. No, the oil squirters aren't required. IIRC, the Turbo A MKIIIs don't have them. I don't know about the other JDM 7M's.

    NA-T idea

    Add an A/F gauge. BTW - anyone looking for info on the MAFT Pro setup for the GE should look here: writeup: MAFT Pro install for 7M-GE The link posted further back was while I was working on getting the system up and running and there's a lot of mistakes. The mistakes are cleared up...

    GE to GTE block?

    Well, where the block is concerned the GE doesn't have oil squirters (as far as I know adding them would require a fair amount of custom work), has no bung for the oil return from the turbo and has only one port for one knock sensor (where the GTE uses two both in different locations than the...
