So, I painted my 3.73 diff (3 light coats of POR-15 followed by 2 light/1 med coat of Gloss black engine enamel). I researched as much as I could prior and could find nothing saying "not" to paint the aluminum cover (heat dissipation issue), so I painted it. The car is highway/city (not...

So, my head has suffered from a bit of detonation and was pushing exhaust into the intake side of the headgasket on 5/6. All this after a massive amount of time and money to ensure this doesn't happen and a locked up R154 under boost that kind of ensured it did happen... I am considering my...

Can anyone tell me (from the photos) if this is a '92 JDM 7MGTE block? I am building a second 7M to have as a standby (because... well... because its a 7M). So far, a lot of what the engine is supposed to have doesn't seem right. Like the heli coiled exhaust manifold studs... they don't look...

I am putting KW Sway bars on my 88 Supra. Odd thing... the shop found them for me, but the web doesn't show they exist. Looking for a spec sheet for comparison and will know how they perform (more or less) on Tuesday. Anyone else have these or heard of them? - Fronts (compared to stock) -...

I have to fix my suspension for an alignment. From what I am finding a lot of parts are obsolete. Any recommendations on what to get for these parts? (as in, aftermarket pieces or do I need to recondition what I have?) 2.0 x TOYOTA 48730-14010 ARM ASSY, REAR SUSPENSION, NO.2 (Lower Control Arm)...

So I have a little leak from the lip of my PS steering reservoir. Not a major one, but enough that I would like to replace it. However.. They dont exist. Any substitutes? I know Beech makes one but I don't want an lines... Just a nice plug in replacement without much modifications. Thoughts?

I have to replace my rear and front lower control arms so I can get a wheel alignment. Figuring this is the time to do sway bars. So far I have looked at: Godspeed swaybars - (from reading below... these are not considered any longer.. lol) Tanabe -...

Okay, next part of the car to attack... Steering.. I took my car in for a wheel alignment because I can't go above 180 kph without some shake-rattle-and roll... But they can't do one. My lower ball joints were replaced 4 years back and I have HSD coilovers on it now (lowered about 1.5"). I...

Okay.. First... where the engine is at (some of you will know this) Rebuilt 7MGTE Shortblock with Wiseco Pistons, polished rods and crank Rebuilt Head (no porting, stock cams) 1.2 Cometic MLS Headgasket with ARP Studs 1000 cc ID Injectors HKS EVC-S Boost Controller HKS Fcon Vpro 3.3 Stand...

Not sure if this is correct area because its boost related (thinking as an afterthought... ) So, background (for those that don't know), my car is in the shop and getting tuned/upgraded since June last year. The car has a HKS Fcon Vpro 3.3 (7M chipped) and the boost controller is a HKS EVC-S...

Wondering if anyone has an idea on a proper selling price for the SP6267 0.84 turbo I bought from the classifieds last year. It has too much side play and the seals leak oil, so it needs a rebuild. I bought a SP6262 0.68 turbo to replace it, but have no idea what I should ask (fairly) as a...

I posted in the wrong area, reposting in this area. I have 1000 cc ID injecotrs, 7MGTE, rebuilt head (no cam/porting), HKS long runner manifold, 3" exhaust, SP 6265 turbo, 44mm Tial Wastegate with 10 lb. spring. This is the initial dyno, wondering what would cause this. Initially...

I am attaching photos of the Spec 2+ Clutch I have for my car. (less than 5000 km on it) Just wondering what your guys thoughts are on this clutch. I found it seemed to hold very well, however I had a shudder when starting and when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st. There is an odd...

Wondering if I need to upgrade my fuel rail.. and if so.. do they exist? (I know Albert started a group buy on one, but I don't know if that will be built...) 7MGTE 1000 cc ID injectors SP6265 Turbo 3" exhaust Stock head and intake Denso MKIV fuel pump AEM AFPR (Drift motion kit)...

Wondering if anyone knows if there is a place to get a patch cable that will go from a 1988 7MGTE Harness to a 1990 7MGTE Manual ECU. Or will I have to change the whole harness? Its the plugs that cause the issue because the 88 is the yellow plug and the 90 ecu is the grey plug (I think I...

The sensor /switch on my JDM 7mgte sits on topof the coolant thermostat housing right beside the head. It broke while doing some cam gear work so if I plug it in the car won't start. Unplug it and the car starts and runs fine. This is like 265.00 for the replacement sensor so I am wondering...

http://www.jackstransmissions.com/collections/supra-v160-rebuild-options was going to send to Driftmotion for a rebuild, but this looks just as good and I would deal directly with the rebuilder. Anyone heard or had dealings with them? They look good.

Just wondering if anyone has removed the power seat base. Wondering how the reclining handle comes off. I have the seat out of the car (unplugged) and am trying to take the side cover off. I know the knob for the seat adjustment (reclining) that you turn with your hand has a snap ring (although...

Its another.. Getting the SP6265 installed (on the HKS Longrunner manifold) and run into a couple of issues. As you can see by the photo, the charcoal canister had to be removed. Anyone know of a smaller one that would work in its place? Also, my oil dipstick wont be able to go in...

Well, got the engine swap done on my 87 Supra just to have the alternator fail. Replaced that and everything seems good. However, now when I was driving it (first time on the road with it in 2 years and I bought it dead... so no idea about any maintenance on this car) it began making an odd...
