  1. if by auto lock you mean open the lock with the remote, and if the door doesnt get opened it locks by it self with a delay then i believe so.
  2. if not you and buy the needles off ebay for a $100 and you can pick a color, they make white blue and green.( i wish they made red) you can email them and ask if they will make red
  3. UCF: its an auto but i think im going to convert because im hoping to get my motor and trans in a couple of weeks from japan. of course the conversion will take more time than that because i have to buy all of the other stuff..... anyone have a crashed 5spd? want to sell me the interior and clutch master parts? so untill i have everything i will just drive an auto.
  4. ok ok i cant hold the secret any longer. my brothers friend has a 93 300 with i think under 60k miles that i will be picking up at the end of next month when they leave for the summer because they are going to buy the new hybrid RX oh did i say for about $7000 cool huh? :D
  5. i once read that a supra ecu de tunes it self when the engine ecu sences a knock it takes away about 30hp or something. the cure to this is to disconnect the ecu or the fuse. i think the same thing is happeneing and that this knock stuff in the ecu is in all or many toyota ecu's and is killing horsepower. you guys fillin your cars up with high octane? well maybe your gas station is lying to you
  6. when that happened to me it was a fuse it went to lexus and i got charged $80 for diagnostics and $2.50 for parts( a fuse)
  7. yup thats that grouwly 2jz
  8. search me? any one called? just kidding. if your changing diffs or taking them out change the mounts to some stiffer ones. they make aluminum mounting bushings for supras...should fit.
  9. was your saturn a two door with a v8? may be a two door but a i4 at that point the insurance will be higher. yea most parts arent cheap but the shocks from the factory are cheap they are like 65 bucks. hell the trunk struts cost more how is that?
  10. a car with a 455 V8 might have 230 hp but it must have a lot of torque. many cars are faster at low end and not as fast in the high. like ferraris the 360 modena that has a V8 has a faster quartermile than the v12 550 maranello but from there the v12 will kill the v8 meaning our cars may be slow in the begining than some 4 cyliner but after that first gear or two say bye bye to the 4 cylinder
  11. you mean that toyota had to rewire a new harness? they dont have those just lying around in the factory? WOW! haw much did that cost?
  12. found the new tein shocks they are called "Super Street" and they are on the cheaper side too. but i dont know if they make for this car yet
  13. well if you can get it for 4500 then thats a steal so go for it
  14. with that many miles it probably already went out and has been changed bit if not then well be ready for a aching back and hands
  15. yea not many cars have a 150mph speedo. just start the race from 60mph :P
  16. TEIN just released a new shock thats like the FLEX that can use the EDFC i forgot what it was called but it was aimed more towards comfort so i guess you could call it sporty
  17. yea over here it would be impossible. but i hope to get one this spring break when i go up to japan. for about that price ( i have a junkyard connection)
  18. if you could get one to me for about 15-2000 bucks i would be very interested
  19. the SC's main problems you have to look out for are suspension pieces. the lower arms can be big bucks running you a tad under a grand in parts just for the lower suspension arm because the bushings and ball joints go out. otherwise i found not too much goes wrong, you should look for a nice SC#00 (3 or 4) thats been owned and baybied by an older owner. (because usually they dont do what us guys love to do) also look at the gauge cluster and you might find burned out needles that are fixable but still on the pricey side. and of course when looking for a car accedents in the history are not good and make sure the transmission is smooth. and after 100k miles or so you might want to consider changing motor mounts and trans mounts, along with other rubber suspension pieces.
  20. yea inner tie rods can make a world of difference
  21. they were painted purple?
  22. they still use the 1jz in japan so well you just need to find companies that make mods for it in japan.
  23. 93LS: when the car jsut came out there werent sheep skins that fit so it was a custom bit and some innocent sheep were sacrificed for my comfort the first set was a good $2500 but hey they lasted 12 years or so and well it was the thickest sheep fur out there, the new ones were only $400 but i only changed the fronts. and its not as thick but its decent
