Battery was out because a friend needed to borrow it. Update!! Insurance said the car was a total right off (of course) and that there is no possibility of buying it back because of "environmental issues" They came and took the car today so when I got home from work it was gone...

Thanks for all the words guys ive been beating myself up quite a bit lately. I definitely appreciate the humor aspect. My fiance and I have been living here for 2.5 years now. We do not owe anyone any money, the exhaust is quiet as hell on the supra neither of us does any drugs/gambling/...

On Thursday night/ Friday morning at about 1am some asswipe decided it would be cool to destroy my car. The car erupted in an explosion that people 3-4 houses away felt in their homes let alone heard. The flames were as high as my second story windows. The car was on fire for less than 7...

OMG you guys are awesome!! Ive been trying to figure out where it was coming in and was going to get new gaskets for the wing even though it looked dry there out of desperation. Awesomeness.

Bought it. Play it every or everyother day online. Addicted. I haven't even started single player yet. Btw: PS3

I am assuming he drives a LHD supra? I only ask because in my RHD car the climate control thinger is known to have problems with some solder joints. I lost all my heat in my car 3 weeks ago with my VSV bypassed. After re-soldering some joints, my car has very warm heat. Just food for...

As an update my sensors were both fine, even with an oil coating. The problem in my car was wiring. That is most likely unlikely on another car but happened to be the case with mine. That is the ecu wiring that goes through the firewall. The worst spot was inside the car about 10...

Well for $250 I managed to pick up another supra. The main reason I bought it was because I blew my second rear end and this one just happened to have one, an LSD at that. The car had the motor rebuilt and with less than a few thousand km on it the bottom end went. They had someone remove the...

Ok so history first. -New toyota red coolant -Recent WP job -When I bought the car I *think* the VSV was bypassed. I am fairly certain. Anywho sometimes, like right now, the car refuses to blow warm air into the cabin for me. The coolant level is up, radiator and reservoir. Recently I...

Do you have a webcam? If so try and place it in view of the doorstep and do some recording. If your manifold goes missing you can playback the video and maybe get a look at the offender. Just an idea... I have a dog getting into my garbage and carport everynight and am going to be doing the...

kk, so you removed the screws and re soldered like the 16 pins or so? My JZA70 unit does weird things sometimes, I will have to try this.

***UPDATE*** LEAK FOUND!!! The frost plug in the water pump had a very small hole or "tear" in it allowing all of the coolant to evacuate quickly. Too bad I have to wait until wed. or thurs before I can get a new plug in town. But no new WP needed!

So in theory if a waterpump goes bad it should leak out the weep hole correct? Unless on the rare chance the housing cracks or something stupid like that. Mine definitely was NOT coming out of the weep hole so I am thinking that there might be a bad o-ring or gasket, but everything looks...

Ya the guys I talked to about the waterpump phoned me back today and said that the actual price was 895 ish + freight. So you are correct. I got the watrepump assy out but I cant seem to locate where the hell it was leaking from :( On the Tbelt, I have documentation from japan saying it was...

For a little update I talked to Mr. Lange whom informed me that he cannot order the part I need. But he did tell me to contact these guys. They game me an approximate price of $200 for a NEW toyota pump. + approximately $80 in air frieght. I just want to confirm what they are looking at is...
