Well, it only took a week for the old supra to sell. Hope they take good care of it. I still love the MK3 but I'm just tired of 'em after about 5 years. Still one of the best looking cars around though. I've seen a hundred of these threads and never paid much attention to 'em but for some...

Hey guys, I just got an AVC-R and installed it but for some reason I'm just getting boost cut every time. I've read that if you use the injector duty signal on the ECU for RPM this might cause boost overshoot. I mean, I'm talking setting the thing at 0.20 kgcm^2 (~3 psi) and regardless of...

This is why you don't drive under a transit bus...:cry: I got these at work... Happens all the time - people don't see the bus stopped and try to swerve around at the last second, or they think they're gonna swerve around but there's an oncoming car and nowhere for them to go.

My girlfriend was ready for a change and settled on this baby. The weather's too crappy to take new photos, but here's one from a few months back when the body work was done. The tape is for the new windshield while the sealant was drying. The previous owner spent about 2 years working on...

Hey guys, This is the last engine swap I'm going to do, and I'm being very thorough in fixing things I'd just let go before... So without further delay, does anybody have a specific list of differences between the grey/yellow body plugs? This car is my first 89+ and it has grey plugs...

Here's another one: Anyone know where to get hold of an extra plug for the hydrofan temp sensor, or what its output is so I could maybe find a comparable sensor and plug from another source? I had the hydrofan running great but the wire in the plug became brittle and broke off down inside...

So I got my second 1JZ installed last night and got everything hooked up, but I can't get the thing running right. It just cranks and cranks and cranks and never fires one time, then the next time it'll fire and stall out and keep that up for a while. Eventually it'll start right up and idle...

... but it has this big blue thing stuck to it. What do I do?

Hi guys, I live in an area where we don't deal with vehicle rust so I'm kind of at a loss here. I'm looking at a truck; it's a 1999 powerstroke originally from Michigan and priced $5K under bluebook. It's a great looking one owner truck meticulously clean inside and out. Unfortunately I...

Oh sweet jesus tell me this is a joke :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/car/278514314.html

I'm sorry it's on myspace, I really truly am. http://tinyurl.com/28pwkh This is the same local person who gained notoriety by using a sawzall on his rear hatch to fit skyline tails into his previous z32. :3d_frown: He has a lot of good things going, and a lot of not so good things going...

EDIT: Feb '08 - Most of these pics on the first page are gone now. I lost a hard drive in my server. There really are pics in the thread, just on the next page. Well, some of you may remember that I bought a super white 89 hardtop shell back in september or so. It was in great condition...

Hi guys, I've been looking at engines today and have gotten some good information and offers (thanks aaron), but I got a reply from one person who indicated that they had done a leakdown test with good results and a "manual compression test" with 100psi on all 6 cylinders. I'm assuming...

yeah, I'm in the right section. no heat, coolant geyser out of radiator, overheating. when the radiator cap's on, the overflow bottle's full and the radiator's empty. I burped the car for 45 minutes straight and the bubbles kept coming. I spent the last two weeks working on this...

I've got an ACT clutch; 6 puck unsprung. I think it's a little too harsh for my purposes. I'd like to keep my heavy duty pressure plate but replace it with an ACT stock disc. On their website it shows 518ft/lb for the 6 puck and 405 ft/lb for the stock disc. I'm currently right under...

I was reading a thread on SA today with some car commercials. We all know 'unpimp ze auto' blah blah, but there are others that are funnier (to me). Here's one to kick it off. The end is the best part, I literally laughed for 5 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGQf9dn0pDk

Thank god SM is back.:icon_bigg

So I'm going to be swapping my 1JZ from its current home in my 88 (originally turbo 5 speed) to my new shell which is an 89 N/A Auto. I will assume (and would appreciate confirmation) that: a) I will need to swap my 89+ turbo tach into the N/A cluster. b) The 89+ engine mounts will work fine...

So I found this on craigslist and drove all the way up to Kirkland to pick it up. Cliff Notes: '89 N/A Auto Hardtop, 139K, One owner, BHG, tried to fix themselves, gave up. Basically, this is about the nicest completely unmolested stock supra I've found. Even when it was sitting for the...

Just wanted to see if anyone's into playing music... I've been playing bass for about 5 years now and about a year back cwapface let me borrow his drum kit which I then had to give back so I went and got my own. I've been playing those quite a bit lately. Just tonight I found some pics I took...
