Here are some more information for Toyota Supra Cylinder:

With the price of fuel soaring every minute of the day, the thought of turning to alternative modes of transport seems more appealing to motorists worldwide. Are we seeing the resurgence of peddle power once more? Is the motorcycle industry going to benefit from the war on fuel prices? How about grandma, is she going to have to trade her trusty old ford for a sleek 250cc Yamaha?

Funny as it may seem, it is certainly becoming a viable option. However before you go rushing out to trade the family wagon for a nifty fifty, let me tell you that there are ways to reduce your vehicle’s fuel consumption without changing a thing, except the way you drive.

While we all wish that our fuel would go a lot further than it does at the moment, we fail to see what we as drivers can do to get the most out of a tank of gas.

Tune Up

The health of the vehicle needs to be considered and addressed in order to make a difference to fuel consumption.

The first thing to do is get your vehicle tuned so it is operating at the optimum performance level.

A 6 cylinder vehicle that is running on 4 cylinders will have you digging deeper into your pocket than you really need to. It is worth the time and money to get your vehicle serviced at your local center or garage. It will save you $$$ in the end.

The next thing to check is your tires. Check the tire pressure. A vehicle that is running on under inflated tires will have your engine working harder than it needs to and feeding the monster becomes more expensive. An engine that is under strain or under load will use a lot more fuel, so tire optimization is crucial.

Check out the pre start up checks section at [http://www.driving-defensive.com/Prestartupchecks.html] there is also some good information here. [http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/testing/ncap/Tires/pages/TPandLoadingMaint.htm]

Look at the tread on your tires as well. Are they wearing evenly from the inside out?

(The websites above will give you more information about this.)

Now, with your engine primed and running smoothly, and your tires in good shape, our next step is to take a look at the driver and how we can improve fuel consumption by changing the way we drive.

There are many things that drivers do which cause them to use more fuel than necessary. Below are just a few of the most likely examples of how drivers waste fuel needlessly.

1. When you take off from a stationary position. Do you press the accelerator flat to the floor?

2. When you are sitting at a set of traffic lights, do you have a habit of revving the engine?

Just check yourself the next time you are at a set of traffic lights. It could be something that you do subconsciously.

3. When traveling on the freeway, are you the type of driver that zips in and out of traffic, speeds up to the vehicle in front and then slams on the brakes?

4. Do you brake heavily into a corner and then accelerate out?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are using more fuel than you need to.

All of the examples above can be put into one category.

Speed Control.

You will get the most economy out of any vehicle when you are able to maintain even power. Otherwise known as constant velocity. See the section on cornering at [http://www.driving-defensive.com/cornering.html] and on to the lateral weight transfer section.

To rectify the problem in our first example about taking off.

Imagine that you have an egg under you accelerator when you take off. Your goal is not to break the egg. So instead of pressing the pedal straight to the floor as you take off, push the peddle gently down until you build up speed. Your take off will be smoother, and you will save more fuel.

Revving the engine while waiting at the traffic lights.

This habit is costing you precious fuel every time you are at a set of traffic lights. Like I said, you may be doing this subconsciously. Ask one of your passengers to watch you over the next couple of days and see if they notice this habit in your driving.

People who drive erratically will ultimately use more fuel than one who maintains a constant speed while driving. The answer to this is again constant velocity. Maintain an even overall speed. Try not to accelerate quickly and then stop.

Cornering.

Defensive cornering is a technique which combines speed control, lateral weight transfers and longitudinal weight transfers.

The section [http://www.driving-defensive.com/cornering.html] explains it clearly and is worth reading.

In conclusion the ultimate way to reduce fuel consumption on your vehicle is to have it well maintained and to identify what characteristics of your driving are costing you more money at the pumps.

Happy motoring.

Toyota Supra Mark II

The Toyota Supra Mark II was the eventual successor to the first generation of the Supra, and this second generation ran from 1982-1986 with a host of improvements and modifications than its predecessor, but also went through a lot of changes over its four year run as well. The Mark II was assembled in Japan, and this was another model that had the direct link with the Toyota 2000GT, especially with its engine. The sportscar was also known as Celica XX or Celica Supra MK II in some parts of the world, and it was based on a MA6x platform.

The fastback car has a 2+2 design with differences in the front look of the car, as well as the introduction of the retractable headlamps, and there was also an increase in wheelbase and length to accommodate its larger engine. The overall dimension of the car includes a wheelbase of 2613.7mm, a length of 4660.9mm, a width of 1719.6mm, a height of 1320.8mm, and a curb weight of 3000lbs. The Supra was also distinguishable in some places by the use of the performance class (P-type) or the luxury class (L-type), where mechanically they were the same but aesthetics, technology, and size differed over the years. The first year of production saw the Supra with the 2.8 litre (2759cc) 12 valve with 2 valves per cylinder DOHC 5M-GE engine that outputted 145bhp (108kW) of horsepower and 210Nm (155ft-lb) of torque.

The compression ratio measured 8.8:1 and had a vacuum advanced distributor, resulting in 0-60mph in 9.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 17.2 seconds. The Supra also featured four wheel independent suspension with MacPherson struts at the front and semi-trailing arm suspension with stabilizer bar and coil springs at the rear. The transmission was W58 five speed manual or A43DL four speed automatic with overdrive gear and locking torque converter, and the brakes consisted of four wheel disc brakes.

For the second year of production the only changes were in the horsepower to 150bhp (112kW) and the torque to 216Nm (159ft-lbs), as the increase came from the altered gear ratios and the new transmission of A43DE four speed. The new transmission was the first to feature "Electronically Controlled Transmission" ECT, allowing the driver to choose between "power" and "Normal" driving modes by the touch of a button. The third year saw quite a lot of changes for the five speed transmission Supra MK II as performance increased yet again to 160bhp (119kW) and a torque of 221Nm (163ft-lb), through redesigning the intake manifold with "D" shaped intake runners and increasing the compression to 9.2:1.
The exterior got wrap around turn signals, and the interior aesthetics were changed to a new look.

The last two years saw the Supra being altered greatly again, as both manual and automatic cars got a performance increase of 161bhp (120kW) with a torque of 229Nm (169ft-lb), as the engine got a redesigned throttle position sensor (TPS), a knock sensor, and an EGR system. The increase in power results in a 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds, and the quarter mile in 16.1 seconds at a top speed of 85mph (137km/h). The other changes occurred to the overall looks and interior amenities of the car.

The second generation of an iconic car was very successful in the US as it won awards for "Import Car of the Year by Motor Trend", and made "Car and Driver" magazine's "Top Ten Best List" for both 1983 and 1984.

how to fix a misfire?

i have an 89 toyota supra non turbo wit a 7m-ge engine. the engine has a misfire on 1 cylinder but im not sure what caused it, how to fix it, or how much that'll cost. the check engine light does come on when it misfires. any info on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

If you have a Autozone near you they will check it for free and tell you which cylinder is misfiring. Since this is probably a 4 banger it shouldn't be hard to find which one. Its ether fuel or no spark so you just have to use process of illumination. A spark plug is bad or the wire or distributor. if you have fuel injectors it could be an injector.

2001 Honda Accord EX-V6 from North America - Comments
Hello everyone, I wish even though it's too late now that I had seen these comments before I bought my 2001 V6 coupe. I swear I just saw the car and basically fell in love and the price wasn't that bad and they told me it was OK with the tranny coz they had replaced it at 150,000 kms.

Thanks for visiting!
