    FS: URD MAF Calibrator

    Hey guys, I have for sale a URD MAF Calibrator. It was only installed in my truck for about 1 month, and then taken out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, save for the wires being clipped slightly shorter than before, but that's nothing that can't be fixed easily. Besides, there is...

    APR X-1 For Sale

    I've got an x-1 unit I got from a fellow member on this site, T0LLPHR33. I'm letting it go because I learned from G that the X-1 is not compatible with the 03-04 1GR motors, which mine is an 03. Rather than experiment to see if I can make it work and risk frying the unit, I'm just gonna pass it...

    Anyone ever try "Chinese Water Torture" on their engines?

    I stumbled across this: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=35053 while looking for ways to clean the upper cylinders of gunk. I actually gave this a try, more on that in a bit. Apparently, this is supposed to be an old mechanic's trick of "steam cleaning" the cylinder walls and...

    Just installed URD MAF CAL

    Just got the MAF CAL all wired up and gave my truck a test drive... I'm pretty impressed with the results. I hit an empty back road, dropped it into 1st from 20~, and gunned it. The throwback was much more than it used to be. All my WOT pulls were somewhat noticeably harder than before...

    Torque App - Scangauge/Ultragauge Alternative

    For you guys with Android phones/tablets, I've been using the Torque OBDII App (http://www.appbrain.com/app/torque-pro-%28obd2-car%29/org.prowl.torque) with a generic Amazon.com OBD to Bluetooth adapter for a while now, and I have to say - I find it to be incredible, if not better, than the...

    HID's Failing to Ignite?

    I'm having an issue with my HID's. Recently, my LO beam HID's are failing to ignite when I flick the light stalk from the running light to the on position. However, my fog HID's are igniting immediately when I turn on the fog lights via the switch. It takes a few repeated flicks of the lo beam...

    URD Maf Cal - Basic Tune and Setup

    I picked up a used Maf Cal about a week ago, and I was wondering if there were basic tunes for it laying around somewhere, or even just a base tune. Anyone know about that? Also, might it be possible to just self tune it yourself from scratch?

    Places to get color-matched paint mixed?

    Anyone know some places to go get paint color match and mixed? I've heard O'Reily's, but the closest one is 5 hours away. Corporate stores or local will work. ^^

    Wanted: APR X-1

    I know it's a damn long shot, but if anyone has one that they just can't bear to hold on to, I'd like to buy that off your hands. :)

    Missing Product From Store

    http://store.xr-underground.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=17 I was trying to buy the larger XRU url sticker, and saw that you can't choose RR as a color. Forgive me if it's being worked on, or if it's out of stock or something. :top:

    APR Y-Pipe Exhaust sound?

    Does anyone have a sound clip of the y-pipe in action? I've heard so many good things about it, but never heard a sound clip. It might help justify the purchase price, heh.

    2012 Tacoma - Leaked Promo and Shots

    Hey guys, Not sure if anyone else already posted this, but I found this just now. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/17/2012-toyota-tacoma-leaked-in-promo-footage/ Looks like the Tacoma is borrowing from the 4Runner's more sharper edges in the front.

    California highway 152 - Red XR

    I'm on vacation from FL, and while driving from San Jose to LA on Highway 152 (twisty mountain road, at least compared to my driving experience in FL), I saw a red X Runner with what was one or two big black stripes over the body. I vaguely remember someone by that description in this forum...

    EBC Rotors/Pads - Brake Squeal?

    I've got a set of the EBC Slotted/Dimpled Rotors installed on my rear brakes about 8k miles ago, as well as Greenstuff pads to match. Recently, I've been hearing some squeaks while driving, with a few squeaks every wheel revolution. I properly bedded them in, I greased all contact points...

    Boring out Throttle Body...

    Anyone bored out their own throttle bodies, or even found another larger one to replace ours with? I remember reading about someone putting a larger throttle body from another toyota v8, and that it bolted up and plugged in no issues. As for the boring, I know other car forums have had people...

    Headers: Long Tubes vs. Short Tubes?

    Anyone know the actual, dyno proven differences between the shorties and the long tubes from DT? Looking into getting headers for my truck, either long tubes, or short tubes with the rear two cats cut out.

    Auto tranny question, maybe someone knows.

    I've got a 4-spd auto 4Runner, so bear with me. :) Sometimes during a launch, the tranny will stall at 2k or so for a couple seconds, and then the truck will finally get the power and start getting up to speed. Does anyone familiar with auto transmissions and torque converters know why that...

    New Member...not an X-Runner, but close enough ;)

    Hello everyone, Been a long time lurker on these forums, and I've decided to finally start up my official my ride thread. I love all the information on the site, and even though it's no X-Runner, it's all the same, except with a 4. ;) Performance-wise, I have a K&N Intake, custom cat-back...
