    Drift in my MK3

    Went to my first drift event, took my Supra and my Gopro. Most fun I've had behind the wheel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFkAX1-v4Dk

    Have a question on a HKS BOV???????

    Yes. Your car will run rich under high vacuum conditions and might be prone to stalling by running a vent to atmosphere bov.

    Upgrades for stock rebuild

    Shim the oil pump 5mm. I saw about 90 psi max oil pressure while cold with the oil pump relief shimmed 5mm, which is still in the safe range. This is without the factory oil cooler relief.

    Expensive Valve shims!

    Try your local machine shops, one around here was willing to trade my old shims straight across for any size I needed. You can also order them here: http://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/valve-clearance-discs-25mm.html

    Afr 9.5

    Looks like a pretty good match. FYI they sell a full set of silicone replacement intercooler hoses on ebay for around $90 iirc.

    I believe the 87 is a dealer-installed sunroof. My 87 has one too.

    Factory Oil System

    The stock oiling system isn't as horrifying as people would lead you to believe. The system is very susceptible to oil starvation when run low on oil. The majority of 7M bottom end failures are caused by oil starvation, antifreeze contamination, or both.

    Factory Oil System

    I've pushed mine extremely hard on the stock oiling system without issues. I am in the process of installing a large plate oil cooler on the factory cooler circuit though. I always keep the engine slightly overfilled as to never let it get below the full mark, ever. Many on the forums will...

    7MGTE lost spark only on cylinder #1

    There is no external damage to the coil packs, and the plug boots fit fine. I borrowed a set from a friend's Supra and it fixed it. Should I try a used set from ebay or order new? Edit: ordered is300 coils.

    7MGTE lost spark only on cylinder #1

    The plug wires are new-ish and I can switch the 1 and 6 wires at the coil pack and then I have no spark on number 6. I can't see what else it could be, since 1 and 6 fire together as a wasted spark system...

    7MGTE lost spark only on cylinder #1

I stopped to investigate and #1 has zero spark from the coilpack. Number 6 still has spark, so does that mean that the coil pack has to be bad and it's not...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    My valve covers, 3000 pipe, and turbo shield were sprayed black and I decided to repaint them similar to factory. Love the way it turned out.
