So, a little back story... I've always had the intention of going standalone after my motor rebuild a decade ago, and initially I was going to go with the MS3, but then about a year ago I started hearing about the ECU Masters setup. When I posed a question in the local Supra FB group (mostly...

Has anyone ever measured (whether Toyota, or some industrious individual) the actual flow of the coolant system? This is one of the things I plan to do in the process of troubleshooting my cooling issues, and it'd be nice to have a baseline to reference, if it exists. Thanks!

I see the site has finally been restored -- AWESOME! I've missed this place, and the resources for working on my turd...lol. Latest and greatest with mine is, it's still sitting in my garage...although I'm getting the urge more and more to finally figure out her issues (same ones I had 11...

It's been a while, but figured I'd stop by and say 'hi'. I still have the car, but she's been sitting for the last 3yrs since I got fed up with the problems after the rebuild....lol. One of these days I'll get back to it and figure it out. Anyway, like I said - just stopping in to say 'hi'...

Picked up a 3-tier Craftsman toolbox tonight for $200. A few scuffs in the paint, but structurally is in great shape. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty happy about it!

Backstory: A few years ago, while my car was on jackstands at my Uncle's, wasps made a hive inside my driver's side mirror. I ended up killing 'em all off with some wasp spray and soaked the shit out of the hive with it by spraying most of the can inside. Since then, i've wanted to find a way...

Hey guys, finally got the car started yesterday, but ran into some issues that I'm still trying to puzzle out. I guess I'll go by bullet-points to keep things organized. - Not registering any vacuum signal on vac/boost gauge, and AFPR pressure doesn't change when disconnecting vac line -...

Hey guys, need a bit of help here -- I finally wrapped things up with the car (aside from putting coolant in), and hooked the ECU back up tonight. When I hooked the battery up and turned the key on, the CEL stays lit; I jumpered E1 and TE1 and it's just flashing constantly, so I'm guessing...

So I discovered yesterday that I have a bit of an issue -- with my FFIM and the linkage on the inside (as well as the wiring harness), I have no room to reinstall the hose that runs from the Driver's Side VC to the side of the block. My question is, can I use a different hose that size instead...

Hey guys, still inching toward the finish on my rebuild, and was wondering if someone could help me out. The pic below shows a bundle of wires on a ring terminal; my problem is, after almost 4yrs of the car being down, I don't remember where they bolt to. Judging by how they've formed, I'm...

To those that have degreed their cams in, I'd love to hear your inputs/advice. The embedded video describes and shows the issue I'm having, and I'm in some serious need of help here. I've watched the 'Super-Trick' video and searched/asked on here before, but there's really no good visual...

Now that my portion of my college senior project is *knocks on wood* done, I thought I'd finally share some photos. The entire project is a car whose primary function is to drive and navigate autonomously using sensors, with a manual override option. My section was the base chassis, and I fabbed...

Hey guys, finally getting some more work done on the car, and the current task is valve lash. Did my initial clearance checks yesterday, calculated the new shims from the spreadsheet and got the proper sizes installed today. On my post-swap clearance check today, most numbers are right in the...

I've been thinking of replacing the fuel pump in the Supra while it's down, and I'm most likely going to drop the tank to drain the gas anyway...figured while I was in there, and since I don't know if it was done with the previous owner and their half-assed upgrades/repairs to the car...

This may seem like a 'Here's yer sign' moment, but is it possible to get dried liquid laundry detergent out of the seat cushion foam? I had a bottle of liquid tide in the car sitting on the driver's seat, and somehow the bottle got punctured and the detergent soaked into the seat cushion...

It's amazing what the proper tools will do for a job. I finally started working on the Supra again, and decided that the best way to route my IC piping is to relocate the battery and go through the fender where the battery tray would normally go. Enter Harbor Freight -- Figured I'd buy their...

My friends are on tour in the SouthWest, and I'd appreciate it if you could make it down to support them. They're a great bunch of guys and have some pretty good music. They're called 'Planning Space', http://www.myspace.com/planningspace San Diego Area: Dream Street Live, event starts @...

Hey guys, So I've got a bit of a predicament -- I was trying to mock up my intercooler piping for how I was going to route it, and discovered something in the process. With my radiator in and the A/C pump mounted, there's nowhere to run the pipe from the intercooler outlet into the Throttle...

Hey guys, I need a HUGE favor from anyone in the Denver/Longmont area. The place I've been staying since I moved at the end of February hasn't allowed me to have Roxy, my dog, so she's been staying with my sister's boyfriend and his family. The original deal was supposed to be for 2 months...

Ok, so I'm looking to degree my cams tomorrow after not being able to last weekend, and I'm having a bit of an issue. I know I have to mount the fixture and gauge so that the tip of the gauge rests on the bucket face, but I'm not exactly sure how this is accomplished with the cam lobe taking up...
