    USB panel mount

    Anyone installed permanently a USB connector in the dashboard. I have a AVIC-7100NEX that only has rear USB connectors, and I need to install the jack somewhere. Something like this might work, although it seems kind of big.

    Philips Tier 1 LED Backup Lights

    Anyone who has replaced any Supra bulbs with LEDs knows how crappy the aftermarket LED bulb market is. I'd say at least half of the bulbs on Ebay are outright junk that won't last a day of use. Well, that's all changed because a tier 1 supplier (Philips) has released a line of LED bulbs that...

    EGR Troubleshooting

    Had a driveability issue that would cause the car to misfire at light loads. For example, revving to 1800-200 rpm would result in a bad misfire. Cruising at light throttle would result in a jerky feel although it was hard to actually hear the misfire, and throttle response off idle was poor. On...

    Is that what I think it is?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqYZG58kRHs Look at 0:25 seconds in to the start of this 1992 Top Gear Intro. Location of bolts, shape, etc., everything looks like a match to me. Actually, there's maybe three separate shots, front at the start, then the light, then the tail at the end.

    power sag at 3200 rpm

    7MGTE with CT26 running at 11psi. Stock fuel system, 75mm exhaust, cartech intercooler. I feel (and datalog) a sag in power that start at 3200 rpm and last until 3600 rpm. It is subtle, not a collapse, but just doesn't make as much power. After 3600 rpm power stays solid to redline. It...

    Blitz SBC i-Color install (w photos)

    Took me ages to install this thing, but I finally finished a few weeks ago. The iColor has alot of nice features like plots of boost vs rpm and so on, but the user interface is poor, a lot of the text is too small to read when driving, and it takes some learning to navigate around. As a boost...

    Anyone tried to fit the 2JZ water-oil cooler on a 7M block in place of the stock oil cooler bypass adapter.

    Transgo Shift Kits

    Anyone have any experience with these shift kits from Transgo. The Jeep guys seem happy. I don't really see the need for a 1st gear lock (seems like a Jeep thing), but otherwise they seem reputable...

    Diamond Audio D364.5 Install

    Using the Kevin M pods I recently installed Diamond Audio D3 6.5" components in the front doors. Mostly straight forward except I chose to mount the tweeters in the door panel since they are blocked by my 90 grilles if mounted co axially on the woofer. Also, the ridiculously large crossover was...

    aftermarket tie rods

    Had the original tie rods for 19 years, but replaced them because my alignment guy compained they had rusty threads and were hard to adjust. I bought some Raybestos/Spicer aftermarket tie rods that were about 1/3 the price of Toyota tie rods. Should have known better... First off, unlike the...

    Puzzling alternator issue

    This morning was cold for So Cal (4C) and the Supra had been sitting all weekend in the rain and wind. I started the car normally except that I happened to have the datalogger hooked up because I had added some new code I wrote over the weekend that I wanted to test. After a normal start, I...

    Build Sheet, or a KanBan

    This was posted on the supras.com email list by Hines. Never seen anything like it myself. According to one person on the list, it is a Build Sheet, or a KanBan.It follows the car all through the build process to make sure it gets the equipment specified.

    low-cost brake bling

    If you're going to post that rotor slots and holes do nothing for braking, make the rotor more susceptible to warping and cracking, then just stop. That is all true, but it is also true that they look pretty and that's the point of this thread. Also, this is no substitute for a BBK so I don't...
