    Looking for a Vancouver Machine Shop

    Hey All, It's been a few years but it's time to pull the motor and get it rebuilt. I'm looking for a shop in the Vancouver area that has experience with 7Ms and will tear down/build up my engine with all forged internals. Any recommendations? Thanks, -Chris

    Canadian Turbo Rebuild Shops

    Hey Guys, I'm looking for a Canadian shop to rebuild my turbo. The last turbo I got done was from Driftmotion - and was great. But between all the shipping costs/fees/exchange rate, it gets a bit pricey. Is there anything in Victoria/Vancouver that does good work? Potentially a honed out and...

    what I drive when the supra's down

    Just picked up this gem off of some crazy supra nut. You guys might know 'em ;) The " aby supra" as it is known as, had a dead cylinder. It sorta ran, but overheat like a mofo. The breaks were non functional after rusting out from sitting so long but would that stop me? NO! Nursed this beast...

    SAFC and knock

    Hello all, Recently I've been playing around with my SAFC and came across the knock set function under settings. First off, does anybody know what these value's units are? I'm guessing knock/min as the motor is in rotations/min. But I'd just like to be sure. Also, what is an acceptable #...

    Thought it was BHG...

    Well I was almost convinced that I had a BHG these past 2 weeks. I kept 'consuming' coolant, my overflow bottle was always going empty on me and it would overflow when shut off at night. Also, I had the beloved waterfall sound behind the dash board *every* time I started the car. Oh yes, I tried...

    Finally lowered my supra

    Well, after my coilover whoas, I finally get something together that works and looks half decent. Pair of Tein HA rears and Tokico blues/Intrax fronts. The fronts are temporary until I can find a pair of Tein fronts, or just bite the bullet and buy a new set. We'll see! Thankfully the springs...

    Did I get sent a W58 clutch disk?

    Hi Supramania, I went to go put on my clutch yesterday and the disk doesn't fit the fidanza flywheel. It has too much depth (on both sides) and doesn't fit. This disk does however fit the stock flywheel just fine. So, either A)I've got the wrong flywheel or B)wrong disk. Nashman assures me...

    TobyCat's winter buildup

    Well, only a month left of class before December holidays and that's when I get some free time to work on the supra for a bit. I don't have any crazy goals to accomplish before next spring, just to beat my last dyno (309hp/308tq) and to fix some things. So here we go! Currently, I have...

    what to look for in used turbos

    Hey everybody, I'm looking at getting a new turbo for my car, as the one I have is starting to smoke a bit. There is a guy localy selling a 57 trim used CT for 400cdn (about 350US). I've done a fair bit of searching and reading on the forums, and from what I gather the only way to gauge a...
