Help!!! please.
 

There is a drag event in a couple days and i need to know what i can do to my car to lighten, and make more preformance out of my car. its a stock 1987 toyota supra, non turbo. I have syntheic oil, and octate boost, as well as premium gas. If there is timing adjustments and things i would like to know. Thanks

stock N/A to a drag race...not trying to kill your buzz man but i wouldnt even race...but to lightin up get rid of ur spare tire, ur back seats, all ur interior besides the driver seat, carbon fiber hood, lighten windows, dats it i can think of unless u got money for carbon fiber fenders and carbon fiber doors..but i still think you would run wha 14sec say so...Hack will get in on it and tell u

AC delete. Light weight fly wheel.
Take gas cans and run a low tank.

Removing the interior isn't going to do anything significant for you since it's all foam and fiber. The only interior component that can save weight is the drivers seat because it has like 6 motors in it. If you advance your timing +15 degrees you can get a little more torque for the loss of horsepower. Practice your launches ,get off the line with as many RPM as you can without spinning the rear tires. If you cant get your AC compressor off in time ,at least make sure the belt isn't on. Like the other fellers said ,take out the spare and run a low tank to save weight. Make sure you're generaly in tune. Clean filters ,good plugs and wires.

Down the road carbon fiber body panels would do you good since ours are pretty weighty ,but you'd be happier in the long run to invest that money into a turbo motor. Not a whole lot you can do in a few days without deep pockets. Best of luck at your event ,make sure you let us know how you did. From the few track slips I have seen the N/A mkiii seems to turn in high times ,but I think a good driver with a well preped car could turn mid to high 14's

Yeah this doesnt happen very often in our town, this is only my second time on the drag and I'm just really trying to have fun with it. I will keep everyone informed on how it goes.

I pulled my back seat out.

It weighed nothing. But it compensated for the added weight of the rear strut tower rod. I'll trade weight for weight on a plausible upgrade.

The thing with the strut tower rods is that they are only supposed to reduce the body sway. Not delete it. I'll be mounting my front strut rod after I have the new shocks and springs installed. The tems components are a bit in the way.

I will probably dremel slots in the base of the strut rod to compensate.
Sorry for changing the subject.

Window problem..
 

anyone know how to roll up the passenger side window manually?? the motor is out and can't figure it out.

Nope.

But you may pull the door panel and smack it with the head of a screw driver and COAX your window up.

Run the lowest octane that you can without knocking. On an N/A at sea level it's probably going to be 87 or 89. Do NOT add octane booster. Higher octane does not and never did mean the fuel has a higher energy potential, most of the time it's actually less.
