    Changing the differential Gearing??????

    There has been alot of talk for months about the advantages to changing out the stock Supra tt gearing which is 3.93 I believe to the 4.08 or 4:10 higher gearing. I need a couple questions answered if possible: 1) Has anyone done that LSD gear change on a Soarer or SC400? Did it make a...

    Supra TT Big Brake Upgrade for SC400

    Thanks XIR, I too was saying that I changed out my stock OEM rotors to the same sized drilled and slotted rotors and noticed a good improvement in braking. That is why I bought these Supra rotors pre drilled and slotted. I am not trying to argue with anyone, but I know from my experienced the...

    Supra TT Big Brake Upgrade for SC400

    ChrisV - We cannot argue with the facts. Your point is well taken... However, I do have a problem with your one comment "This is a predictable response from people that don't know cars very much". This is in regards to comparing the quality of parts that come on very expensive factory made...

Call it stupid, call it unwise, call it what you want....A fancy car pulls up next to me that costs 5 times as much and wants to go, I am not just going to sit there and watch him take...

    How to Test Your Thermostat

    Question if you remove the thermostat will you make horse power gains.......(just kidding).:burnout: I agree the thremostat is an important item in the car and should not be removed. That is why every car that is sold from factory is equiped with one, they do serve a purpose. Now do any of...

    News: Ferrari vs. Mercebenz SLR

    I disagree 240 - depends when and where. Most people do not have access to a near by race track either. A quiet two lane straight with no lights and no traffic I don't see a problem with that.

    News: Ferrari vs. Mercebenz SLR

    I missed that but heard about it, that happened near my area...I think.. I am 5 blocks away from PCH, and that is a two lane fast track for these fancy sports cars. Many crashes occure on PCH. I stay clear too many cops... Lots of nice cars drive PCH it leads to Malibu where all the movie stars...

    Full dual vs Y and X setups

    Thanks doey, yeah I'm good with this exhaust guy, we go way back and he is a friend of mine. He did suggest maybe going larger with the very center single pipe, but I would need to alter the converter to do that...We will see....

    Easy way to increase power and torque at the wheels

    DAMIEN - You just answered two questions that have been on my mind all day...Thanks Bro.... So 4.083 is the next step up in the ratio that you would suggest? What did that change do to your speedo, top speed, are you reving high while riding the highways? Thanks again great info!!!!!!!!!!

    Making the car faster with out hp gains?

    Well you learn something new about these cars everyday.....The old Chevy's and Fords all have the heavy fly's so I assumed these IUZ's would be the same. Yes the wheel that spins when the starter motor is engaged that every auto tranny has....that is what I was thinking.. Peewee - I never get...

    Supra TT Big Brake Upgrade for SC400

    I can tell you this about the crossed and drilled rotors and that is that they are more prone to rust then the stock rotors... That is the only difference that I can see tell. I looked over my crossed and drilled rotors closely that I have been running on my car for a little over a year, and...

    Full dual vs Y and X setups

    Well the exhaust pro's and I looked over the exhaust system today completely and pretty much decided there is nothing more I can really do except remove the high flow cat and do the X. Any thoughts on how I can improve this exhaust flow without deleting the cat? Headers are going in shortly...
