    7m running RICH

    Hey all, so I finally got my car running again after a rebuild and NA-T swap. The car is now running crazy rich. At first the idle was really high (probably 2500) but it would stay running and it was throwing Code 51 (throttle position sensor). After calibrating the TPS, Code 51 went away...

    Inner tie rod frustration ?!?!?!?!

    So I am in the process of redoing the suspension on the supra (new shocks, springs, lower ball joints and front upper arms) and wanted to replace the tie rod ends at the same time. But the supra gods had other plans... Not with a torch, not with a air chisel and not even with two 18" pipe...

    R154 & W58 Top speed charts

    Got bored today so, I did up a chart showing the theoretical top speed in each gear for both R154 and W58 trans with all available gearing. Might be useful to calculate the most useful gearing for your power band or cruise speed with different gears. The points on 2nd-5th gear show the RPM...

    Wanted: pic of 89 steering wheel electrical connection

    I picked up a 89 non-airbag steering wheel to put into my 87 but the plug was removed.. So now I have 4 loose wires and I'm not sure what order they go in. I can't wait to get rid of the pre-89 steering wheel, so I'm hoping someone can help me out by providing a picture of the plug.

    what are 87' tail lights made of?

    This is going to be random but does anyone know what type of plastic 87' tail lights are made out of? acrylic, polyethylene or something? I have a old set that are a little foggy and if they are the right material I was going to see about re-finishing them at work.

    New motor will not idle

    I just had the motor re-built less than a week ago. When ever I push in the clutch between 2500-3000rpm (this is the highest I let it go at this point) and let the rpms drop the car stalls. This is annoying but I can drive around it. Today, after work the car would not idle at all. Every...

It has been a trying time with this supra and I am sure I have put in more money than it's worth but it is a fun car. Well, it...
