    So lately...

    I've had some really good luck and some really shitty luck. About 2 weeks ago, my company had their quarterly team meeting. So I went in the Supra, it was a nice sunny day. End of summer, it was cool, the weather was clear, the birds were out. At the end of the meeting, when I was leaving, I...

    Rust question on lock pin for the wheel bearing

    Okay so I bought some 5 spokes for my Supra a few months back. From my research, the original lug nuts for the sawblades are too long thus preventing the center caps from being put on. But this is a moot point since the guy who sold me the 5 spokes couldn't find the center caps and ended up...

    Rant: Forza

    Okay, so lately I've been playing Forza, trying to finish the game and everything. Right now I'm at level 40 driving a GT prepped Porsche GT3 RS in one of those championship races for the GT class. Anyhow, I noticed that whenever another race car bumps into me while speeding along at 150+...

    Rude people rant

    Okay, so recent research found that New Yorkers are actually nice people instead of the bossy, rude SOBs that everyone thinks they are. This leads me to ponder about how rude and ill-mannered people from a race are. I work a heavy customer service oriented job and have come across almost...

    Workplace uniform rant

    Okay, so the place I work at is handing out new uniforms, and from what the long time employees have said, its been a while since the uniforms were changed. Logic would dictate that an employee would get enough uniforms to work for a standard 5 day work week right? Wrong, these mofos are...

    Of tire pressures

    So I recently bought some 5 spokes to put on the Supra. The plan was to reuse the tires that were already on the sawblades cause they still had good tread left, but I decided to go all out and bought brand new tires as well. Thus began my journey to find the correct tire pressure for them...

    91-92 5spoke wheels and lugnuts

    Okay so I'm going to be picking up some 5 spoke wheels for the supra and will be getting rid of the sawblades (no offense to sawblade lovers!), and my question concerns the lugnuts. Will the lugnuts for the sawblades work for the 5 spokes too or will I have to purchase the lugnuts that come...

    Coolant temp connector

    Okay, so the other day I was doing maintenance on the supra - fixed 2 boost leaks - and I decided to take the car for a spin. On the freeway, the turbo boosted to 6 lbs easy so I was cool. Still driving along I look up at my stock gauges and I noticed that the coolant temp is showing any...

    Synthetic tranny fluid

    Any auto supras (na/turbo) out there running their trannys with nothing but synthetic tranny fluid? I know the argument is that the clutch packs need a certain amount of friction to operate, but was just curious as to approximately how many out there have ignored this and used all synthetic...

    Automatic Transmission question

    Okay I know that in 92 the transmission shift points were revised, but what I'd like to know is this: is the transmission controlled by the same ecu that controls everything else, or is it controlled by its own ecu? Or are the shift points revised by hardware on the transmission itself?

    Upgraded turbo and na intake cam questions

    Okay I searched but I couldn't find a definitive answer on this. If I go to an upgraded t04e ct26 60 trim and am still running on stock fuel and afm will the car lean out? If I throw in na intake cams with stock fuel and afm, will the car lean out also? If I do both mentioned above...

    Maintenance Service intervals?

    Okay so my Supra has approximately 42300 miles on the clock and as far as I can tell they are all original. My question is this: what are the maintenance service intervals for it? 30K miles? 60k miles? 90k miles?

    HorsePower Freaks Goliath

    Apexi Power Intake (Cleaning)

    Okay, so the UPS guy just dropped my intake off - looks sweet and I can't wait to get it on. But I have a question - how does one go about cleaning the intake when it gets dirty? The instructions came with the box, but go figure, I can't read Japanese.

    Stock radiator and high pressure radiator caps

    Okay, this is also on SF but they seem to be of no help so lets try it here. How much pressure can the stock radiator that is in the 7mgte hold before it blows a leak? I was considering the high-pressure (1.3 bar/18 lb) trd radiator cap to help keep the car cooler since summer is right around...
