one more thing you car looks sweet with the new wheels. you do have mk4 wheels right ?
What is everybody running as far as wheels?
I have my mustang wheels and 225-50-16 Fuzion ZRI's on the N/A and TT mk4 wheels with 245-45 & 275-40 Bridgestone RE760's on the turbo. POST UP YOUR WHEELS~:biglaugh:

Maybe i should pressurize the system and find out where my leaks are......In any case I hope to have this crap resolved by the time the weekend is over. Yeah I have the MKIV TT wheels on it with 245/40/17 front and 275/45/17 rear. Its a great feeling to break them loose going into third isn't it?:evil2: Matt and I have done that on more than one occasion when we were tuning it. I want to Dyno it so maybe sometime when it gets cold i will have to get around to it.

hey man you need more skin on them bones j/k hehe ,
so i'll be taking my 240 out of storage soon, it likes cold weather :evil2::evil2:
Matt, I need to try out that driveshaft from your n/a. Mine is done. I don't think that there is any rubber left on the support bearing in my car. also wanted to get that LF fender too.
Looks like the damn coolant hose going to the IAC split. I need to change out my LF inner tie rod and LF brake caliper and hose.

Im pretty sure I have the caliper you need.....come pick it up @ no charge :icon_bigg Well I pressurized the coolant system today and i had two leaky hoses.....one going to the heater core and one coming back to the water housing from the turbo. This would explain the gargling sound in the heater core and the need for the motor to suck in some coolant. :biglaugh: I ran it pretty hard today and it seemed fine so its all good. On another note, i think i will strat running coolant through my IAC because I am told that it is one of the causes behind my 1100rpm idle :aigo:

sent a PM jaymar.
SMOKING PROBLEM:
would anyone know why my car only smokes when i come off the ramp on the highway. i let off the gas and press the brake, the car starts to have that back fire popping niose, then after that it smokes really bad and only smokes for a day or 2 and dries up. it seems like something is happening in that transition to make water or oil get into the system annd burns up after time. so now i've been slowing down to where my exhaust wont pop. or i guess back fire.

That's definately not water getting into the exhaust system.......happened to me all the time before I rebuilt the motor....your turbo is shot and your rings have probably seen better days. I would just watch the oil level of the car and keep adding oil until you can upgrade the turbo....Correct me if I am wrong guys but it backfires because you have too much fuel at a certain RPM......also it is smoking when you let off the throttle because you no longer have backpressure occupying those turbo seals. My car still puffs a bit here and there but I know that its the turbo. My guess is that you rings are on their way out, which would explain the bad smoke.
Just when you think you are about done.....the Supra insists that you drop some more loot in to it.....Its a vicious cycle!

Nah man i don't need it bad....i will have to make a trip to good old Argyle Forest and see that BEAST in person....I will give oscar a shout tonight, when are you coming back?
Drerok,
I'm gonna have to agree, I don't think the issue is water. Burning oil when coming off the highway I again agree it is more than likely turbo seals not maintaining pressure. As far as the back-firing, does the car hesitate when you're driving through town? You may be looking at plugs that are not burning the fuel in the chamber, moving past the turbo at +/- 2500 degree's may be causing the back-fire. May also concider why there is fuel loading up. I'd start with the plugs, wires, easy fix (also routine maintanence) then I would look at the pressure regulater. If it's loading up and back-firing it's gonna be fuel that isn't burning you just have to find out where and why. Good luck, Antz
