Warning – Don’t Ignore The Check Engine Light On Your Dashboard

You’re stopped at a red light and you glance over. A balding, tubby guy that can’t be older than thirty-five is driving a 1996 Chevy pickup with various dangerous-looking metal objects. Is there some secret? Why is he wasting his Saturday picking up trash?

If you see a problem you might ask him if he has got an estimate on fixing it. Check for broken or badly scratched glass. Check for missing trim or dents.

Reprogrammed ECUs for the Supra TT are VERY $$$. They are in the $1200 range. And they have not been proven to provide a significant increase in performance or safety on BPU(TM) level cars. Their merit shows itself on cars with upgraded Turbo(s). Just be sure you buy your ECU, or have it reprogrammed by a reputable shop that knows what they are doing. And have it tailored to your particular car (Driving habits, and Mods). And I would also recommend taking a look at the AEM Programmable system.

Drivability is not adversely affected. Interior noise level depends on the exhaust system you choose. Some will make it far louder; some will actually make it quieter. But most are just a little bit louder than stock. But the added dBs are also combined with a MUCH sweeter exhaust note, so it’s definitely worth it. And the interior of the Supra is pretty quiet anyway, so on the highway, it will be VERY livable. As far as low-end power goes, the down-pipe will greatly decrease Turbo Lag. So low-end power and response is much improved over stock.

Curtain airbags. This comes out from above the door frames generally from front passengers to rear passengers. They protect occupant heads in the event of a side impact.

So the term cat-back refers to all parts of the exhaust system between the outlet of the catalytic converter recyclers or cat and the outside air. This usually means a series of pipes, one or more mufflers, and perhaps exhaust tips.

If the timing of the bursts of the group of cars from each road could be coordinated, with the signals in the area cars would not need to slow down and each burst of group of cars would be able to pass without slowing down or risking a mishap.

Consider your vehicle an investment. You’ll need to replace parts as they fail. The key is to stay on top of regular maintenance items (i.e. check fluid levels, change the oil, replace filters, etc.) and have problems fixed quickly. By doing so, you’ll prevent small problems from turning into large repair bills.
