Am particularly interested in the GM 4L60. Has anyone had any experience installing this into the MKIII body. I have...

    Here I go again..

    Seven years after I purchased my first Supra and started updating and rebuilding it, I am starting over on another Supra. The short story on the old car is that I screwed it up.

    I have the heat sheilding intake gasket that Driftmotion sells. I am doubting it's ability to seal, especially the water port below the intake runner at cylinder #2. I like the theory of the gasket and would like to make it work. However, I can only think of 2 ways to ensure it seals and both...

    WB O2 location?

    I just purchased a WB O2 sensor and am wondering where to mount it. I have read many threads here and elsewhere. Everyone seems to place it from next to the factory NB O2 sensor up to 3' away from the turbo on many applications. What is the best placement for this sensor and why?

    Do targa tops really seal?

    Really? I swear it seems like a myth I am chasing trying to get my top to not leak water. Mine leaks water through the front trim between the front of the targa and windsheild and through the dome lamp assembly. New seal, 2 different seal rail, different attachment hardware, RTV and glass...

    Pic request

    Oil cooler opinions

    Right now I have a RX7 oil cooler with thermostat that I was planning on installing with my turbo engine. However, the more I look at the Perma-Cool kit with thermostat the more appealing it looks. Just wondering what others would do in my situation and why?

    Trade or not

    I have been offered a trade on a Supra and for now it is sort of tempting but then again not. Give some opinions and input that I may not be looking at. I have a 87 automatic N/A and targa top. The body on mine I rate as fair becasue it needs the front nose brace and paint. No rust anywhere...
