94 tails install was easy...took about 45 mins....banging out the middle part was the hardest part..i could bear to do it so my buddy did it for me..make sure u use a rubber mallet and don't bang it too much....i used the same 91 wiring harness...only had to splice the reverse lites wires to extend them so that the new reverse lites would fit....they make the car have a total different look...i hated my 91 tails....

Ya.... some have said you can just yank the hell out of it... and it pops out. But most say some vicious banging is needed. Enough talk... I should just do it.

Looks like mine . I should really get that fixed. Once my 3sgte is paid off... I'll go get them.

u can check on ebay for a "pivot" controller to give u the look...but not really good for everyday driving unless u do the full conversion n get a set of driving lights....there are some kits avail but IMO...i wouldn't use them...u won't be able to see at nite....although our pop up lites are the one think i dislike...i'm happy with an H4 conversion kit with some catz bulbs for improved night vision...

I have a 91 NA with the Burien Toyota turbo kit. If your engine is in good enough condition, the kit should be good for 5-7psi. With that much boost you'll be running just ahead of the the stock turbo MR2. I made the mistake of putting the kit on a worn engine, but I'm getting it rebuilt to hold 20psi. The stock fuel system with the 360cc Supra injectors will support up to 14psi, although the stock internals give out at about 10. You'll need a turbo MR2 fuel pump, even bigger injectors, and a stand alone to kick it up to 18-20psi. It's a lot of money, but I think its worth it. here's their link, check out the 300+hp test car. www.poweredbytoyota.com

I thought about a swap, but I like the torqueyness of my 5SFE, the kit will kick out 145hp and about 160ft-lbs at the wheels at 5psi. I can't even imagine the torque at 14-20psi, but I'm guessing definitely above 300ft-lbs. Boost kicks in at 2500rpm with no lag. I know it has less potential than the 3SGTE, but if I can hit low 13's high 12's, I'll be more than satisfied. would you do a US spec or JSPEC swap?
