My fiance was involved in an accident on NYE on her way to meet me at the video store. We were going to stay in so we wouldn't have to deal with the crazy drivers on the roads. So much for that idea. What really burned me up was I was waiting in the video store for 45 minutes for her to get...

I've been running the most janky memory configuration for about 6 months now and I've had enough. 1 x 512mb PC2700 and 1 x 256 PC2100 DDR'd. The memory sticks are about the same age but aren't playing together nicely. I had to loosen the memory timings for the system to be stable - SPD timing...

A couple years ago I lost my engine under cover on the highway, and ever since I've been thinking of a way to make a better than stock replacement. I've started on a replacement made out of 1/8" sheet aluminum that connects to the front bumper cover using the same bolt pattern as the front lip...

Always be prepared for something in your setup to melt, break or otherwise fail... Before I get blasted for using a Mini inline fuse, it's what came with the fan. And trust me, the second I saw how inadequate it was, I went out and got a standard size inline fuse holder. When I...

Ok, so here's the deal. I'm an eBay junkie, afflicted by the desire to buy and sell things as often as possible. Anyways, Sunday I put up for sale an IBM laptop with the option to buy it now. So Monday at school I check my auctions and the laptop has sold! However, the buyer is a @#$!ing...

I'm getting ready to sell my car and I want to make sure that I have as many descriptive pics up as possible. I know how frustrating it can be using the internet as a tool to car shop, as I have seen cars that look great on the computer but then look like ass in person (NOT any of your Supras...

I am an idiot. Somehow, some way, I managed to lock the keys inside the car--while it was still running. My only (sad) excuse was that I had a bundle of stuff I was pulling from the car as I got out, and I thought I had them, and figured it was just my turbo timer. But when the car didn't...

I've had this issue for the longest time: The first click on the light switch (which I presume is the parking light setting) does nothing. I have to click it one more click to get the exterior lighting to come on, and I get gauge illumination along with it. What's the best way to...

Reading Alex's thread spurred me to post this. I've been curious to find out if anyone's done any A/C system mods--more than just repairs or refrigerant conversions. More specifically, I'm interested in finding out about more efficient compressors; I get the feeling the stock compressor...

I'm not sure what to make of this, but earlier today I was troubleshooting an electrical issue with one of my GReddy gauges--apparently I have a small amount of voltage leakage (0.02-0.05 V) between ground and my ACC and IGN circuits. Anyways, got that pretty much figured out (I think--got...

I've been thinking of ways to design a cold air intake setup for my car for awhile now, but am not sure how to properly set it up. I was searching through the 'mania looking for info on cold air intakes for our car, and came across this thread by Heckler where he discusses the differences in...

I've read many threads lately regarding low oil pressure and have seen a bunch more on rod knock, and am wondering what the prerequisites are for oil pump replacement. It should go without saying that it's cheap insurance to replace the oil pump on a built motor, but how about on a bpu? My...

About a year ago, I removed the stock underhood pressed-fabric heat shield material--it was looking pretty ragged on a few edges and the clips were rusty, so I figured why not... About 3 months ago, I started to notice severe oxidizing on the hood, and about a month later on the targa top...

Those of you with Nextel radios, I would like to address a concern of mine: Is it safe to put the radio/phone in the glove box so close to the ecu? I remember reading in the owner's manual that Toyota does not recommend putting a CB radio in the glove box due to possible interference with...

I was heading down I-275 S yesterday near Hillsborough Ave maybe at about 3:00 pm when I passed a really nice white MKIII with a CF hood. Appeared to have 17" MKIV wheels painted white--either that or white 16" 5-spokes from the MKIII or MKIV, not easy for me to be 100% sure at 70 mph. Was a...

I was wondering if the brake booster/master cyl heat shield from the RHD Supra would mount up in the LHD models. Those of us with oil catch cans mounted in the charcoal canister location could then retain the shorter oil lines and also improve functionality by having a cooler temp catch can...

Was wondering if anyone's had any luck getting new strut caps from the dealership? I went to the local parts counter and they only sell the entire shock mount, which obviously I don't need. I checked on partznet, and the rubber cap wasn't available there either. I haven't called the local...

I'm thinking about replacing my worn out leather with cloth, and I want something really abrasion resistant. I'm going to have to have a shop repair some of the foam on my passenger's seat anyways, so I'll probably turn the whole job over to a professional. Maybe I'm going a little over the...

Anyone got any pics of their PS reservoir relocation? I'd like to find a good reservoir about the same size as the stocker that has more flexible mounting options (i.e. doesn't have half an akwardly shaped bracket attached to it already, like the stocker) and that doesn't have a 15 year old...

Can anyone recommend any upholstery shops in central Florida? Gainesville, Tampa, Orlando...anywhere near these cities. I'd love to get my seats redone, or at least do some damage control...my passenger front seat has succumbed to sun damage, and the foam is coming out like crazy. Plus the...
