    SUPRA PARTS?

    I also need new LCA's and have used the daizen poly bushings in the past but i would like to use rubber this time. Where are people getting the supra LCA's, are they just taking it up the ass at the dealer or is there a supra aftermarket parts site somewhere? Thanks -Jake

    car runs bad cold, but seems fine when warmed up

    Thanks for the fast reply! yes i have reset the ecu and the codes both come up immediatly. i have swapped the TPS with a known good sensor from my other car with no difference. so unless its in the harness id say the DTC 41 is only a symptom and not the true problem. Thanks again! -Jake

    rear gear drive ratios?

    Stock Ls400 has 225/55-16 wheels which are ~25.7 inches in diameter depending on manufacturer. Stock OPEN differential on an Ls400 is 3.912, however this nets an unobtainable maximum speed with the stock 250hp. I swaped in a supra TT 4.272 LSD and my top speed only droped from 149 to 145...

    hello, My 12 disc cd changer died some time ago and has been removed from the car, I was thinking that I could use the output lines from the cd changer to the head unit to plug in my ipod as a kind of aux input to the factory headunit.
