    Rebuild vs. Re-ring vs. Replace with used engine?

    FYI -EGR Passage way blockage

    I had an EGR trouble code, the EGR system appeared to be blocked and after doing some digging found a plate on top of the intake that revealed part of the EGR passageway that was blocked with carbon deposits. Easy fix but could find no info in the shop manual or on this site that mentioned it...

    1990 Door Speaker repair or replace

    1990 Supra, the foam on the door speakers is deteriorated, is it worth repairing? (if so how?) or where can I get a set of replacements that are relatively cheap, easy to install and work?
