Yea I think they do..autometer has a bunch of different styles..I personal like simple like just the black with added color..Im not into all the fancy ones..I think it looks much more professional when its left simple.

Here is a link to the products for the sport comp..they do have sport comp II but I am not sure the difference. They are the Pyrometers at the bottom
http://autometer.com/cat_gaugelist.aspx?si...id=1&szid=2

I guess one goes a little higher then the other..one gauge goes to 14 or 15 and the other to 9.

I also not sure the prices but I can look.

oo actually they have 3 different ones.


here is a sport comp II for sale on ebay... I dont really know the difference in the numbers for these gauges.

The following is just updating and consolidating the discussions of the interior and engine bay work I've done most recently and added to those multimedia threads. I just want to keep this progress thread as complete as possible so that I can look back later [And more than likely shake my head and sigh at the amount of time/money I've spent total rolleyes.gif ]

>Finished my interior restoration project Friday night before the Supra meet [Finally]:

What do you guys think? it's not as multicolored as it looks - the camera just lends that look for some reason. The reds all match quite well actually.
-SS-III Seats
-Toyota Hyper Sports Mats
-TRD SS
-Black carpet
-Dealer Option Armrest
etc

Just FYI for future carpet swappers - the coupe carpets are indeed about 4-6"s shorter than the hatch carpets so if you change out make sure you get one from your exact model. Both mine and D-Man's are now slightly longer or shorter than they should be but I've got a good plan on how to fix mine and his is just tucked into the back seats a little more than normal.

SUCCESS!! I wanna see it! but it already looks 1000 times better. Oh and bTW, my (your) carpet still isn't fitting in the door jam right. It's really pissing me off. mad.gif

But i'm glad to have made that trade, we just gotta do something about that headliner,and you'll be good to go! biggrin.gif

Great job there man, great job! thumbsup.gif

oh yeah, i've seen the interior of the interior laugh.gif Seriously, you'd be surprised the things we found when we traded carpets. I had enough money to go and buy booze when it was done and over with biggrin.gif And even better, We've discovered that vert and hatch have different sized carpets kindasad.gif

half the credit? Dude, do you know what that carpet has been thru? The dude i bought it from NEVER put the top up; including minor rain showers. not to mention all the sh!t he's spilled in it, and oh my good ness. That's why i said to pressure wash it and then shampoo the damn thing. Fcuk cleaning that nasty carpet by hand. Why do you think i never cared if sh!t was on that carpet? Dude, I've yet to have a sinlge item on the floor sense the swap. laugh.gif

Lisa deserves ALOT for cleaning that nasty thing. I wouldn't even do it tongue.gif

That would be a 3s-gte and no it isn't blown. It's running just fine and dandy. The middle strut is the strut that does not contact the firewall, and it's BRIGHT red. You cant miss it. It's also hand made. In person it looks perfect too!!

Blown = turbo'd

I thought all strut bars were connected at three points.

Blown = SC'd or the engine is wasted - take your pick. If you'd like to find out what's what on there I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Follow the hot pipe up over the exhaust header and you will see the Turbo.

Not all STB's are connected at three points. Also not all 3 points are stiff enough side to side [Stock for example]. I don't like to have to take the STB off just to change the spark plugs and other maintenance so for my last 4 Celicas I've been making an extra bar that goes from strut to strut to take up the slack. Use quality material and a good tight fit and it'll be better than most things on the market.

I don't even have a print out for the highest 2 runs but they and others plus help finding the leak on the dyno we're all free - so I'm not complaining. The official number will have to be 217WHP/244tQ - that's what I have documented.
I have charts I promise I'll post monday morning when I get to my scanners. Sorry but I'm in the sticks right now and I'm lucky to be on the inernet LOL. My phone doesn't even work out here.

Remember that these are @ 14PSI on Mustang Dyno - nearly sea level.
I did have a couple better runs after we let her cool and actually setup the fans but these numbers are documented so they will be the official ones [for now]. Analysis from the pros would be well appreciated.

your AFR's look great.
i would think you would be making more power with AFR's being that good for a 3sgte.
you've got a slight restriction with the cat-back being a smaller diameter piping i think.
granted that's not going to make crap tons of hp but it would do something & help with flow.

just curious - what diameter is your IC piping?
do you have your BOV vented to the atmosphere or recirc'd?
do you have adjustable cam gears?

the numbers are decent for being a stock CT26 smile.gif
