I currently have Tein HA coilovers that the previous owner had installed. One of the shocks died on me recently and I'm debating what course of action to take. I'm currently leaning toward sending the shocks in to Tein to have them rebuilt, but the shop isn't thrilled about having to store my...

:aigo: So I was accelerating under boost and went over a bumpy section of road and suddenly my engine started making a loud knocking sound. I babied it the rest of the way to work (probably less than 100 yards away) and then checked under the hood. My short visual inspection revealed that the #6...

I was wondering if there should be threads in the chassis where the battery tie-down bolt is supposed to go (next to the driver's side headlight). I'm not sure if the bolt I have is original or not but it doesn't thread into the hole and instead is held in place but a couple nuts.

I'm installing a new water pump and was wondering if there are any tips I should follow. It appears that the previous water pump was installed with some type of rubbery sealant or something, but I see no mention of anything needed for sealing besides the gasket in the TSRM. Is there some sort...

When I took apart my dashboard there was a spring connected to the cross brace thing. Now I'm putting it back together and I'm not confident that I've found the right place to attach it to. I took pictures along the way, but none of them show the spring. I've attached a picture of where I...

Does anyone know the specs of the bolts (length, thread spacing, etc.) used to fasten the fan clutch to the water pump pulley? Also, I need to know the specs for the nuts used to attach the fan to the fan clutch. Thanks!

I am in the process of installing a new heater core (see this thread). I test flowed the new heater core with some water and it didn't leak. However, after putting it into the box I noticed a small crack (see attached pictures) where one of the pipes is connected (welded?) to the core. I...

Does anyone have a picture of the fan that goes in front of the condenser? The previous owner of my car replaced all the condenser fans and the radiator fan with aftermarket electric fans. I'm trying to go back to the stock fans but I'm not sure exactly how that condenser fan is mounted or...

Edit: I have got over this hurdle now, but found one last group of wires. See post #10. Edit 2: I figured out the last group of wires (see post #17). No more issues that I can see right now, though I'll probably run into something again after I get a bit further. Edit 3: Another question in...

Anyone know where I can get this part that the heater hoses go into? Part of mine broke off inside the hose so I'd rather get a new part than just clamp it back up and hope for the best. See third picture for location. Quite annoying to have a cloud of coolant steam coming out from under...

Lately I've been having trouble with overheating. I have a SPAL fan controller attached to dual Flex-a-Lite fans. The first fan is wired through the controller for variable speed. The second fan is operated by the controller via a relay, and only turns on when the "High" temperature is...

I saw one of these last week. They are really nice looking in person, pictures do not do the car justice. 0-60 mph: 4.8 sec 0-1/4 mile: 13.3 sec @ 105.2 mph

Can someone identify this hose for me (see attached image, it's the black one behind the red ones). I just had my A/C system fixed and it is leaking what looks like water now. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I ended up next to a silver RX-8 at a stop light. I could tell he was going to gun it because he was slowly creeping right before the light turned green. We both hit it at the same time. Through first gear we were nearly even, but then I pulled away in second. I had clearly won by the end of...

I saw a white 89+ Supra on Campbell Ave near Skyline Dr this morning. Looked very clean. I think it was about 10am.

Where should I go to get touch up paint for my Supra? I've got some small nicks and scratches. I'm most worried about rust, but it'd be nice to match the 3H8 paint as close as possible.

Recently my emergency brake light has usually been staying on when I put down the e-brake. I've tried raising and lowering it repeatedly with little to no success. However, it will sometimes go off after driving for a while. I figure something is sticking around the e-brake. I took off the...

I saw a 1991/1992 (guessing based on color-matched moldings) blue Supra with wheels and exhaust in Beaverton today. Asian-looking owner. I waved. :) Also saw a white 89+ on I-5 that was headed north.

I just got my oil report back from Blackstone Labs. Apparently my lead count is a bit high... I used the same oil in my oil change, should I wait till the next change to try a different oil? Anything else stand out here?

I saw a red 89+ Supra today in Corvallis around 11am. It was on Monroe crossing the 9th intersection. Custom wheels and exhaust, I didn't get a real close look, but it seemed pretty clean. Anyone here know/own that car?
