Just a life update for those who know me or those who don't and just like reading about other people. I'm not getting rid of my 87, just putting her in long term storage to restore at a later date. It's been a long strange trip with the Supra and I've enjoyed every minute of boosting down...

Anyone have any ideas on why my clutch pedal would engage near the floor like a dead master but pop up (hard) after raising my foot up? It stays near the floor for a 1/2 second or so and then comes up and hits the bottom of my foot with a fair amount of force. I haven't had a chance to look at...

Exactly as stated. I swapped the cable about 2 years ago or so. Upper and lower from DM. R154, turbo cluster, 231k. I was driving at ~40 or so and looked down again and it said 0. I got under the car last night and externally everything looks fine but I don't have time to pull it apart for...

One of my oil cooler hoses burst spraying almost a quart of oil all over the bottom of the PS pump and thereabouts. 1) Will it do any harm to loop the oil cooler line from the filter housing straight to the pan while I acquire parts? I figure on basically staying out of boost until the setup...

I recently replaced my heater core. When I have the heater control (89+ control, 87 car) set at anything other than 85 I get cool air. Set it to 85 and it's HOT. I would imagine that this is caused by the blend door not opening. Did I miss a plug somewhere that allows it to open the door...

Starting this morning my 7MGTE is stumbling then dying at warm idle. AC on it will idle at ~900 and warm up it will idle at 750-850 or so. It only dies once it fully warms up with the AC off. I cleaned the ISCV on my lunch hour and it's still showing the same symptoms. ISCV clicks 4...

Any opinions on Duralast/Bosche/NAPA reman starters? Long story short my Toyota reman starter is going out after only 4 years. :1zhelp: (and yes I know for sure it's the starter and not CPS wiring, relays...) Since the Toyota one dropped dead so quickly I figured an aftermarket can't be...

So how is everyone celebrating tonight? I'm chillin with some RSV Platinum. Great Russian vodka to start the year off right. Already had my B-52 and working on a screwdriver before I start drnk txting with some shots. ;)

After losing almost 2 gallons of coolant in just over a month I've decided it's time to tear into the engine. Over 95% of the coolant hoses have already been replaced in the last 2-3 years. Radiator was replaced ~3 months ago with a Mishimoto. (no fan blade contact per the recent threads) Random...

So who's playing? I'm headed out to pick up my copy during my lunch break. I still can't believe it took them 12 years to come out with this.

Has anyone else had an Optima red top 'blow up' on them? The battery was ~4 years old (1.5 in TN and 2.5 in FL). Ran around all over CFL Saturday afternoon without a problem (with A/C on so the bay was a little hotter). Get home and have to restart the car less than a minute after turning...

About 4 months ago, one of the plastic tubes on my heater bypass valve cracked (No clue how, just coming home from the Publix and started steaming when I hit my street). Since then I've just removed it and routed the hose from the back of the head directly to the heater core. Now that it's...

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this company. The only thing I know about them is that they were around in the late 80's and made auto electronics. I found one of their products strapped to my ECU while rewiring knock sensors over the weekend. Niether of the 2 previous owners I've...

Like the title says, it's time to get the driftmotion exhaust stud kit and I'd just like some suggestions on anything else to do/check while I'm in there. I'd been having to tighten one of the studs every few days, and it finally decided to strip completely. From the looks of it, the PO had...

I typically don't ask for help, but I'm lost on this one. My passenger front wheel bearing and hub were replaced with Toyota parts about 10k ago due to a squeaking noise(think bird chirping) and the rotor not wanting to 'set'(the rotor would always be loose when taking the wheel off). I...

I've been off the board for a while, but I'm finally in Orlando. The Supra ran great all the way down and got 26 MPG even with all my stuff(I barely had room to sit). Hopefully I'll be online more now and should be making it out to some meets(UCF isn't too far from where I'm at). I still have...

I'm curious to hear what people think of different BOVs as my stock one is shot. I'm aiming for 350-400 hp when I'm done, but don't want to buy one that's fine for stock now and end up having to get another one later on. I'd like to keep it under $150, but any suggestions are welcome. I know...

Well, at least I'll be in the same Region. It looks like I'll be moving back in with my parents around the first week of January. I'm more than likely getting laid off and the job market here sucks(many plant closings and lay offs from big companies have flooded the job market with...

I'm getting a strange rattle when I let off the throttle from boosting. It sounds like a bunch of plastic banging together on the turbo side of the engine. It just started last night, and I'm at work now, or I'd just tear into it. First thing I'm checking is the IC hoses(the one from...
