I have an interesting question about the climate control system. My Supra's system was working quite well (heating, cooling, A/C, etc.) until just recently. I noticed that in order to get warm air out of the vents, I had to turn it up all the way to 85 when in MANUAL mode. Anything below that...

First of all, the car is a 1989 Turbo model and I was replacing all the rotors/pads today since it was time and ran into some trouble. Two of the rods on the rear that go through springs in order to hold the parking brake pads into place underneath the rear rotors stretched beyond...

We walked out to the garage to get the dog food for the morning ritual and attached is what happened: Quote: "Your car all dirty...I wash it." Somehow "dirty" got 3 syllables and "wash" had two... :icon_bigg

So I want to replace the O-ring on the CPS and the Toyota dealer can get the O-ring, but not the dowel and gear. They say the dowel and gear are listed as "non reusable parts" (which the TSRM says, too), but are no longer available. So the question is has anybody replaced this O-ring and...

Well, it's been a rather hard year for my family. First of all, I know other people have lost more than what I have, and I feel for them as well. Before my wife and I were able to have our own children, we had dogs. Three of them, in fact. Turns out a Jeep Cherokee isn't as big as we thought...

Well, I let backing up my files go a little too far and my old HP desktop took a giant dump on me. I had to get a new hard drive installed, but the old hard drive has a bunch of pictures of one of our sons when he was 1.5 to about 3. It was before we started doing online backups and the...

After installing and removing many extra aftermarket components, I'm tired of adding little wires here and there and trying to remind myself which one is powering which component. I haven't really seen much discussion on what people do to add extra circuits in their cars for things like...

Greetings! We just bought a new house and looking to redo some of the basement that the previous owners tried to finish. Do some of you out there who might have done this before have suggestions about books to read on the topic? Possibilities we are considering are just having a play...

I seem to make about a dime sized spot of transmission fluid when I leave the car overnight. It's a stock R154 on a 1989. It has a one-piece Al driveshaft and it pools directly under what appears to be the intermediate plate. Is this common, or is it more likely coming from the back of the...

First of all, the car is an 89 Turbo w/ ABS. I replaced the master cylinder last week with one from O'Reilly Auto Parts and after bleeding the cylinder, or at least I think I did, I hooked up the brake lines to bleed the rest of the system. The problem is some is pissing out of the line...

As the title suggests, how much pull does a winch need to get the Supra onto a car trailer? I've seen numerous electric winches but recently saw a 1500 lb hand crank winch and wondered if this would be sufficient to pull the car onto a trailer safely. Tried a search for "trailer winch" and...

Does anyone remember the member who had a custom aluminum fan shroud on their Supra? I remember seeing it on here, but can't locate the pics of the install or how he designed it... Tried searching, but didn't find him...:1zhelp:

As the title asks, does anyone have a 6.0 Ford Powerstroke diesel? My Chevy Suburban is a 2003 and is really starting to piss me off with the little crap that keeps going wrong. I have been thinking of getting either an F-250 or Excursion with the 6.0. Just looking to see if anyone has...

Okay, I have been looking into a turbo diesel truck for several months now and while test driving a Powerstroke Ford with the 6.0, I noticed something interesting. At freeway speeds, it seems to be at about 8-10 psi all the time. Is this a bad thing for the overall life of the turbo? The...

Does anyone have any info on these such as part numbers and where to get them? My local parts stores look at me funny when I say the word "Supra" much less mention the high flow thermostat...

Good evening to all, I just bought a used HP Pavilion N3370 notebook computer and I'm having trouble with the computer randomly "locking up." It appears to be pretty random in nature and if you turn it off and reboot, it usually works fine for a while before it does it again. The previous...

Hey guys/gals, Another question for you: lately when I signal turns at night with the lights on and with the left blinker only, I'll hear a quick buzz and the lights (including headlights) will turn off for a quick second. They immediately come back on, but it's just kinda weird. I'm...

Well, folks, I finally had a chance to run the car on the dyno after installing the SP61GT. Max power was 399.XX and torque was 398.XX on 15 psi. I tried turning on the power to my Profec B, but could only push it to 16 psi and it didn't really make more power. I also didn't hit the HI button...

Hello fellow board members, Does anyone have any info on what the outputs of the various sensors are for the Autometer EGT Type K thermocouple probes? I want to datalog the output, but don't know to use the red or yellow wire or what the range is in Volts to tell my PLX what is going on...

Hey folks, Here is my situation. I swapped my old motor out for a JDM one a few years back and I have been looking at some of my sensors and it seems like some of them are different from my original setup. Since the harness that came with the motor was in better shape than mine, I went...
