Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Well for starters you need a new cluster. You can actually get one of these from this website for your 240. 100% serious.

*sigh* why does the MKII Supra have to be so slow, and the MKIII Supra BHGs? :( I want a Toyota sports car that is somewhat practical that will be decently fast. it makes me sad. MR2s are great, but I've decided I need more room.

 

When Fuzzy says he wants something different than MR2

i have a plan for the "Lolvo 420" loads of meme stickers/mildly offensive jokes, lowered suspension, stripped interior, 4 bucket seats, haterpipe (with tractor style flapper valve) and some nice wide gunnmetal gray metallic steelies. (i will also hopefully add a limited slip diff and some minor engine mods)

@Real_PhillBert Ever change a spark plug wire that goes behind the engine on your Mustang? -_-

 

None of my spark plug wires go behind the engine... Two coil packs are mounted to the front timing cover, then the spark plug wires go to their prospective cylinders. 

 

EDIT:

 

Not my pic but this shows the spark plug wire layout very well. Poorly managed, but well shown :P

Lucky you, this is how they're routed on the V6, between the valves & intake and firewall.

6.5' iirc. That'd be the most popular as far as I'm aware.

The standard lengths are 6“ or 8" if you've got a short bed or long bed on full size trucks if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think Chevy and Dodge have had 6' specific beds for a while?

Chevy has 6', 6'6", and 8'1" boxes. Most common one I've seen around here is the 6'6" though since there's a ton of work trucks.

Uhh.. yeah, use a trailer. :P

 

How the hell you gonna load it? What you could do is walk to uhaul and rent a truck and trailer from them.

Ramps exist..?

simple, do a wheelie and get the front wheels on the back of the truck, then engage 4wd and pull yourself up.

This is true, but you're loading a car into a truck bed, when the car is loaded, are the ramps and car going to fit with the car? I know its a Crosley but still.

Stick em in the back seat. :D

 

Depends on the vehicle, if it's not too low you can shove some ramps underneath the vehicle because they're really slim.

I was joking :P anyways I couldn't fit it on a normal trailer I would have to use ones without gap in the middle (not sure what those are called)

Would it be easier to swap a 2jz into a MKII Supra, or turbo it?

So, according to people that attended Slay Ride, Orion's Lexus has gone to twin turbos, and Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuereck hooned it. Can't wait until some footage of it comes out.
