Personally, i'm spending it in Guernsey with my gorgeous partner - got all my presents bar a load of chocolate for the grandparents and in-laws :) The one thing i'm dreading, is the inevitably dry, flavourless turkey that i'll be presented with and have to feign interest in :D

As subject says really - i've restarted the igniter project with Geoff, and if anyone has data regarding the dwell time in milliseconds, it'd be much appreciated!

http://www.spracingonline.com/store/Precision_CEA_Billet_87-92_MKIII_Supra_Direct_Bolt-On_Turbo/3143 Now that, looks like an interesting upgrade. Price is good, and precision, to my knowledge have a good reputation. Question is - in the images, it looks like the water feed bolts up to it as...

Okay....so...the basic gist is, should i give up on my Mk3 or not. Here's the build thread for it.: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?109708-1990-Toyota-Supra-Turbo-Buildup-Satans-Little-Helper... Also explains some of the background of the car, too. Now, it starts, runs and...

Okay - rundown of the situation is.... I sold one of my Supra's the other week, to someone for £700. Originally it was advertised for £750. I did them a favour since I knew them a bit, and knocked fifty off the price. Now, it was very clearly explained that the car had no MOT or Tax, and...

Been searching for a definitive answer to this, but...say the valve clearances are out of spec - either too tight, or too loose, what sort of symptoms & impact does this have? I'm guessing poor acceleration & throttle response as well as ticking noise?

Thought i should post a build thread on this, seeing as i tend to do more work on this, than on either of the Supras! This has become part of my 'collection' just before christmas, thanks to a friend of mine. It was abandoned by his ex-wifes brothers girlfriend, and she washed her hands of...

If so, now you can simulate it - thanks to Nukemap :D http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

Okay, i hate to admit it, but i've got almost zero experience with Linux. I tried it as an OS a while back, and it was unintuitive, complicated and frustrating. It was like trying to drink coffee wearing a blindfold and boxing gloves - it made NO sense and i got in a mess. So, unfortunately...

Screw buying a house - i want one of these: Bear in mind...this one is the BABY: http://graydesign.se/en/index.php/products/luxury-yachts/strand-craft-122 -- and yes, the 880hp twin turbo v12 custom supercar is part of the $24,000,000 asking price. The middle of the range...

This is going to sound horribly stupid but...how, and with what tools, are you supposed to adjust these? BR-45, Step 9, in the TSRM, is incredibly vague and gives very little details on how to accomplish this. The shoes have 1.5mm of material left on them, and look reasonably new. I just...

Has anyone got a schematic of the internals of the igniter, at all? I have yet another project in mind...

So, my Blue DD Auto is behaving strangely, transmission wise. Seems sluggish at light throttle, but will happily take off like a stabbed rat if i give it more throttle (not stomping, clean movement to the floor). It doesn't seem to slip as the engine speed increases with RPM's but at slow...

Was looking at this on eBay - how comprehensive is this, and would it be enough to do a proper enough, but basic job? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170536709461 And secondly, is it something that's doable in your garage with the right tools, as the manuals make it...

Mainly just for clarification, but....what size is the thread on the sender (1/8 BSP-28tpi(?)), and what size wrench is needed to get a firm grip on it? I'm looking at getting a 14mm crowsfoot for the ratchet i have, and i seem to remember a 14mm being mentioned as the size of the sender...

I can now confirm that Ford Zetec-E valve shims are 27.5mm in diameter, the same as stock 2JZ shims. Only the solid lifter variant uses shims. They cost considerably less, too. Zetec-E engines were found in European Market Ford Mondeo's, and possibly US Market Ford Contours (rebadged Mondeo)...

http://www.impalas.net/forums/showthread.php?t=686 This guy has turned something pulled out of a RAVINE into a stunning project car - and he's never welded before now! See? No Supra is beyond saving! :)

I just spotted these on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/120403938372 Handy, no? :) I wish someone had made these before i went and fitted Bosch clips to mine! >_<

I guess this thread is for clarification more than anything. Before the rebuild, the turbo would spool to 10psi (off the gauge) and pull like a train. The turbo itself hasn't been touched (aside from fresh gaskets, and the housing cleaned). Now, the turbo takes a few seconds to spool, and when...
