    Randomly stalls at idle and at drive

    Initially it would die for no reason once every month or so. Now it's every 10 min. First the check engine check light would turn on then the engine dies. It doesn't matter if it's in idle or neutral. The engine code is 14 and ECT code is 61 (which is probably unrelated). Voltage is good, new...

    Coolant leak by passenger foglight

    There's a fat puddle of coolant below my passenger's side foglight. What can be leaking around there? It's not the radiator, lower radiator hose, thermostat housing, two coolant hoses to turbo. What else am I missing? I think I felt some coolant where the cps meets the head, but I'm not sure if...

    Smoking from the top of the valve covers

    I have smoking from the top of the valve covers, near the top half where it meets the windshield after 10 minutes of driving. I'm guessing oil leak of some sort because I don't smell anything sweet. When I run it, I don't see anything flying around or squirting. It looks like it's concentrated...

    Supra in Wangan Midnight ep 7

    This looks like a badly drawn Supra, but still a Supra from Wangan Midnight ep 7: At about the 3 min mark when he has his flashback for a few seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVs3eJVcges&feature=channel_page

    Supra in old school option video

    Towards the 6 min mark, it's the last car in the team drift, which if you know your politics, is either reserved for the camera car or the weak sauce car which is going to wipe out and take everyone out. 89+ body trim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOXPC5OOaeI

    issues after changing out spark plugs and valve cover gasket

    I just changed the spark plugs and valve cover gaskets because my previous spark plugs were soaked in oil. There is only smoke after changing the spark plugs and valve covers. After changing them I started the car, but it took a while for the engine to catch, like a hiccup you can feel...

    Has anyone installed a backup camera in a Supra?

    Not sure if this even belongs in this section of the forums. Has anyone installed a backup camera in a Supra? I'm guessing it's just one wire to reverse wire, one to power, one to ground. Or is it just pretty useless to have one in a Supra?

    Do I have to change my oil after I clean my throttle body? I totally forgot. Or is it just a precaution to just change it?

    What is there to do in Reno?

    I'm going to be in Reno, NV for a weekend next month, what is there to do during the day? I'm guessing the Classic Car Museum and Planetarium. Anything else?

    Can anyone explain a racist joke to me?

    I just heard it but it makes no sense to me. "Mexicans, they'll work today but they won't work tomorrow" What does it mean, that they're lazy on some days but not others or is it just a bad joke?

    How to reinstall headrests?

    I just got the Katzkins kit, but when I removed the headrest and tried installing the new cover, I don't have enough room to zip it all the way up. I zip it up about an inch and then there's not enough slack to finish it. Any tricks on how this is to be accomplished? I tried leaving it out in...

    What does this wire near oil dipstick do?

    What does this wire near oil dipstick do? It's a black wire that goes into the black cylinder when you look over from the passenger side of the car, to the left of the oil dipstick. Is it safe to drive around with it like this?

    Boost gauge stopped working

    The stock Toyota boost gauge is still there. When the car is started, the boost gauge stays at 0 and doesn't drop back to negative 1 until the car is shut down. The turbo still kicks in and I hear it spool, but the gauge doesn't go above or below 0 either. So is it just a bad gauge? Boost leak?

    Can I wear a pinstripe jacket with dark black pants?

    I have a black pinstripe jacket but I have lost the pinstripe pants that go along with it. I do have some black pants that are almost the same color. The pinstripes on the jacket are light white colored and spaced apart, you can barely see them upclose, but I'm still afraid that they might...

    Need coil pack harness wiring help

    I need the colors of the wires of the coil pack harness plug from both the coil pack's side and the engine's side. I was hardwiring them up because one was loose and now when the engine's started, there's a miss at idle. Just want to double check I didn't cross any wires. Thanks
