There's a notch at the top of the shock itself where the TEMS actuator would usually fit. Use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust to your ride preference.

Shift solenoids for A340E?

Anyone had any experience with non-OEM Toyota shift solenoids? My lockup solenoid is shorted and I figured I might as well replace all 3 solenoids while I'm in there. The Toyota units are...

True value for a Supra depends greatly on exactly what kind of condition it's really in (as opposed to what condition it just looks like it's in), so I don't like to offer estimates. So I'd have to...

You can get various emblems, badges, and logo's for just about anything, and some people like to put them on their cars whether they're legit or not (Posers I think they used to be called).

No. The 2JZ wasn't introduced until the 1993 model year and in the MkIV Supra, same-same the 6-speed transmission (Getrag V160 I think). Someone swapped them in at some point from a donor MkIV.

I've seen the CPS wiring fail more often than the CPS itself. Having to re-do the wiring for it isn't an uncommon repair as it gets pretty crispy over the years from being that close to the turbo...

Shouldn't be a problem then. One thing to keep in mind is that when you swap out the exhaust you'll be losing the stock resonator. Droning is often a problem to one degree or another with...

What are the specs on that cat-back? It'll probably bolt on okay, but with a turbo you're better off running a larger diameter exhaust than is usual for a n/a. Most turbo people I know of run 3" if...

I know, but from my perspective every little bit is a gain, and as prone to overheating as these cars are I don't write any contributing factors off.

Do you have the fan shroud (if so, is it in good shape?) or the splash guard under the engine? Both make a difference to your temperatures when the car isn't moving.

That's your heater valve in the picture. I'm not sure about a GE, but in my GTE the top vacuum line goes to a vacuum pipe just behind and to the left of the main valve.

Lax laws or not, doing the right thing would be replacing the cat, not just removing it. A good quality cat would still allow for good exhaust flow.

A bad cat can definately cause problems. If it has to be replaced I'd recommend a hi-flow cat. Magnaflow has a good one that I'm running.

The other is a metal bracket with the vacuum tube on it mounted near the front driver side of the engine. There's actually a...
