Brokaw, you're gonna be fine with that setup. Could even go with 255/35 up front if you wanted without issue. Could also go with 275/35 rear, you'd be right on the edge of needing to roll the fender though...

I can't say I've ever seen the A340 used in quite that fast of a car before. Besttrans on here is probably the guy to go to as far as automatics go. If I'm not mistaken I believe they've had one into the 11's on an A340, but don't quote me on that one. But hey, if it holds up, AWESOME. If not...

Hmm... did you pull the sensor located between the brake master cylinder and shock tower, or the one that most people put on the firewall? If it's the first one, I have no idea what would cause your rpms to drop, but if it's the latter, you likely pulled your MAP sensor. I believe you and I have...

I've seen them before, but not on a Supra... Kinda reminds me of that recycled rubber they use on playgrounds, all in chunks and glued together?

Don't like the Onthebeat hood Poodles? Granted, the only pictures I've seen of it were on rhdjapan's website, and a couple I managed to dig up off OTB's own site, but I can't get a good enough picture to really say whether I like it or not.

There's also a button to the side (I believe side, been a LONG time since I drove an auto Supra) of the shifter that allows you to switch between sport and economy modes. Suitcase, I will give you a warning from experience here... once you start modifying your Supra, you'll probably never stop...

Barkz, that 5th gear pull ability at highway speeds is by far one of my favorite aspects of a stock turbo setup on a Supra. It's great to just be lazy and let the load build up on that engine and boost away. :D

Ahh... I don't have a 7m, so I never venture into that part of the forum. I'm in agreement with you on this one, the day I see a 1000hp put through an A340 without it exploding is the day I see crocodiles fly. Then it won't matter cause we're all fucked, there's flying crocodiles on the loose! :)

I almost ALWAYS got better mileage with my 88 n/a in sport mode. Remember, these are heavy cars, and you gotta get a little torque out of the engine to get it going. I always found that a brisk pace of acceleration from a stop (as traffic allows) returned the best mileage. Being turbo though, I...

Is this another one of those "one of these things is false" games Joe? :biglaugh:

Most people making significant power through an auto usually just get a GM transmission. :) Although I would think they would have to have custom mounts made anyway, no? I can see where you might think he's using the A340E...

Alright guys, update time! First of all, I was completely mistaken about there being a nut on the back (block) side of the stock oil pressure sender. Well, there *is* a nut on the back, but it's tiny, way smaller than sender itself. I'm not sure what I was feeling when I was reaching in there...

Don't wait for the green, wait for the last yellow to let out the clutch and launch. ;) That said, seems about on par with what an n/a should do. I wonder if I couldn't tow an n/a behind me and get that sort of time though haha... anyway, shouldn't this be in the racing section?

Same problem here Suitcase, everybody thinks their car is the fastest thing in the world. Gonna be putting quite a bit into my car next year and thinking it would be funny to rice it out. Obscenely rice it out, and put in big bold letters "YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE" on the back window. But the...

Heh, my car did that for a bit. Your ISCV is likely shot/stuck, or improperly wired. Here's a test for ya: unplug your iscv and have someone start the car. As soon as you start it, plug it back in. If I remember correctly, this should return you to a normal idle... Been damn near a year now...

Hey guys, in the process of putting in an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. Have done a good bit of research, got the DM adapter line, and have moved the a/c compressor forward. Tried to remove the compressor but it's not gonna cooperate if I leave the radiator in so it's going back on once I get...

Punctuationwouldmakethisthreadaloteasiertounderstandandhopefullysomeonewouldbeabletoansweryourquestion. ;)

I still say better safe than replacing turbo coolant lines in the middle of a snowy winter. Like I said, anything that's rubber, it's likely 20 years old. Mileage is bad enough on rubber, but time is much worse...

Sorry to hear that man, military? Most of what you're gonna need to do has been covered above, but I might offer a caution... someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't seals dry up if they're not somewhat frequently exposed to fluids? I'd be wary of leaks myself. Then again I flew down to...

Is it just a CF skin where the top of the car would be on the standard metal targa panel? Or is the structure of the thing also made of CF? The stock one only weighs what, 25-30lbs tops? Only time I've ever had trouble with it is when the Wyoming wind is blowing like crazy, and I'm not all that...
