I've been working towards my Computer Engineering degree for about 6 years now, and it was really starting to feel like my life has been at a stand-still. That was, until last week. I just accepted a 16 month internship position as a product developer for an electronics company. So starting...

It's an 86 4x4, with the extremely rare factory turbocharged 22R. It's been outfitted with a stage 3 iron oxide weight reduction in the back: But the cab is in surprisingly good condition: The interior is also in really good condition. And the...

I took my Supra out camping this weekend. There's a long, winding dirt road to get to the camp site, probably 5km or so. I was taking it fairly aggressively, the car was in lower gears (usually 2nd, or 3rd, around 4k rpm), the whole time. About half way down the road, my power steering gave out...

The dump tube on my HKS 50mm wastegate fell off unexpectedly, as all four of the bolts loostened up and fell out on a 900km highway journey. Anyone know the thread sizes so I can order new ones?

Here's an odd question. Currently I have an R154 with a 4.3 rear-end, AND appropriate speedo gearing in the transmission for it. My only conclusion is that the revious owner blew up the 4.10 torsen, replaced it with a 4.30, and somehow found a speedo gear out of an old toyota truck or something...

It's driving me crazy. My A/C hasn't been working for some time now. Whenever I push the A/C or econ button, it turns on solid for a few seconds, (the A/C clutch does NOT engage), then it sits there flashing. I've been pouring over the wiring diagrams, as I'm fairly certain it's a wiring...

More like "Dual auto window switches!" This thread is in direct response to CRE who said I couldn't do it. I'll show you! :) I went to the junkyard today, and picked up a window switch assembly from a 1990 Celica, as well as the relay pack. I then went home, and poured over my TSRM (Yay, I...

Awesome movie. Go see now. Granted, I'm a big fan of the old cartoon, but we even had non-car people go, and enjoy this movie. Definitely worth the price of admission. I'm so pumped now! I want to go drive!

I haven't had any time to troubleshoot this, as I was on my way to work when it happend. The problem started last night I suppose, I was leaving my friend's house, and the car wouldn't idle properly. It kept stalling. On the drive home (about 2 miles) I noticed my wideband was reading...

The track's finally opening up for the season! Who's going to go watch me snap a rear-end?

I had a brand new, HKS SSQV (the new style) on my car ever since I singled the 1JZ, and ever since I had it, it surged like mad when I let off the gas. It ended up killing two turbochargers in short order. I tried various placements on my intake piping, from right beside the turbo, to right...

Best transmission fluid ever. I can't believe how much of a difference it made in my transmission. Best 40 bucks I ever spent. I can actually shift into reverse now, and don't miss 1-2 any more. Anyone not running Redline MT-90 in your transmission, just do it already.

After moving into the house some 5 years ago, one of the few things that I really haven't dealt with is the mess of cables in the work room. This originally serviced 8 cable outlets around the house, but has since been mostly upgraded to satellite. Here's the mess that was near the electrical...

I have a mint set of factory Recaros in my Supra right now, but I was thinking today, they would look bad-ass if I re-did them in leather to match the shadow gray dash pad. Should I leave them the way they are, or re-finish them in leather? Better yet, trade them to a local supra member...

I have this idea of putting a 2nd throttle in front of my turbo's intake, after seeing a SC'd M5 do it to eliminate surge with great results. I'm looking for something with a 4" OD, so I would assume around a 90mm ID, and preferrably just a round coupler on both sides. TPS is unnecessary...

After having two stainless braided rubber drain lines crack, and spew oil all over everything, I decided to fix it for good: The pictures are sideways. The gray part goes to the turbo, the black goes to the block Copper drain line FTW. Built it for like 5 bucks in parts. I don't...

So here's the crazy story. My buddy has a really good condition MKII that one day we decided it would be fun to put an extra 7M-GE he had lying around into it. We got the motor in, but never finished the wiring..... fast forward a few months, he buys another MKII from a local kid. The body's...

Anyone on here have some custom speaker enclosures built into your a-pillars? I've been toying with the idea of throwing a 7" sub in the doors, and mounting a 4" midrange, and tweeter in the pillars, and wanted to see some pictures.

First off, I HATE fixing my friend's cars. It's always due to neglect, something they could have easily fixed earlier, but now has blossomed into this big problem. Naturally they all come back to me for help, and it frustrates me. So, my friend asks me to find him a cool car, the thought...

Somehow both of my squirters broke in half, so I went to order some new ones. Jeff Lange convinced me to get some from an 01+ Camry (I believe) Anyways, they're awesome. They spray out in a big fan. No more stupid little jets that get clogged, and shoot in stupid places! That is all.
