Wow i missed this thread, crisp, welcome to pt.net. You seem to be on the right track and have great advice from the members so far! Very nice stable you have also. I would love to see some video's of the supra.
I know that there are many tech questions you have, and none better than the members here to answer those. I appreciate the well spoken post, and look forward to watching you get bit by the mod bug!
Welcome again!

Welcome again!
Thank you! This site is already proving to be a GREAT resource! I'll see if I have a quick vid of the supra... I think there are a couple somewhere, but they are BEFORE my BIGGER turbo setup and some additional mods, but it's still pretty fast back then!
Also have a run thru the gears on YouTube from my RG500 Gamma two-stroker... someone might enjoy that rush here, too!
Ahhh, yes! And a short clip of me JUST AFTER I put the fresh built head from Australia back on the supra and FIRED it for the first time one March night this past spring! Let's see if I have those handy... (...crisp wanders off into cyberspace for a few minutes...)

Very nice man! Congrats on some very nice rides! I too ride bikes but unlike you I like to be a little on the slower side of things, Trevert1 and i have the same interest when it comes to motorcycles. Here is a picture of my 2006 Street glide

I love ALL machines! ...whatever the make, etc... BIKES especially!
Are you a Fireman by any chance?
That's got to be a customer color, no? Looks great! (I can't carry a spare bottled water on my ride! DOH!!!)

OKAY!
BBP "Traditional Tune" on the way!
Looks like the lead-time is a bit longer than I feel like waiting for the scan n tune (...a bit eager are we, crispy boy???) and I don't believe my very minor mods (intake/exhaust) really necessitate a scan and tune yet anyway. I'll reconsider an upgrade on tune again when/if I do cams and LT's, etc...
Can't WAIT! (Should be here early/mid next week!)
SO then... what are my best SUSPENSION options? (How about even just a set of Bilsteins or something?)
...still my first 10 days with the truck! This is fun!

Its the brightest red you can get....what can i say i do like red. It was black but it just blended in with everyone else so i had to change it up!

TODAY!
BEFORE...
...AFTER!
Well... I took an hour to swap out my plugs with a fresh set of AC Delco Iridium @.060" gap as prescribed in the user manual. Hope that was appropriate!
...also grabbed a can of Engine Bright to get some of that GRIME off the motor! A quick rinse (with plastic bag over the K&N, of course!) and a few wet-wipes on the cover and surrounding components and hoses... and considering I didn't do any real detailing, it looks GREAT compared to before! (I'll have to take a better look when it's not so DARK!) Lost my daylight pretty quick since I didn't even START the plug-swap until 4:30pm or so today...
Hope the tuned PCM comes by Tuesday!
...hmmm... what ELSE should I do to "tune it up" a bit?
