I'm not sure if I should be butthurt or not... sarcasm meter is ambivalent... Oh well - I hate you all too.

I want to be clear from the start - I don't expect a diagnosis, I want to have some fun. I'm working 2000 miles from home, and I'm going to pull codes when I get home to see what's up. I put the car away this past weekend, having driven it twice this year - once to get the emissions test...

Who are you and what have you done with JJ? :) I agree though - it's a nice change from RTFM, acid, bile, and drivel.

the smartass tps report thing is a quote from the movie office space.

I have to say it - have you got the memo about the TPS report? Only we're putting these new cover sheets on. I'll make sure you get a copy of the memo.

Okay, so my wife insists every car should have a name and my supra's is Rupert... <shrug> This is my baby, the day after coming back from paint. Two days after I flew across the country to work - I don't get to see her for two weeks :cry: The plan: 1. Suspension upgrade (it was...

Every rubber hose is probably rotted, the head gasket will blow right quick :) I can't imagine that the struts haven't leaked; the tires likely have flat spots. And that's just of the top of my head. I wonder if it's the factory oil still in it? Or coolant? ugh. I'll bet there's some...

Warranty starts from sale date - never sold, warranty hasn't started yet.

there's an 89 turbo manual for sale at a toyota dealer in toronto that still comes with factory waranty for 50k$

Awesome, thanks!

I have a strut mount that I couldn't torque down properly because the little flat spot rounded while I was torquing (pretty sure that was my fault) and couldn't figure out the rattle for a long time. Check the top nut on your struts, just to be sure. Mine doesn't rattle all the time, but when...

I don't suppose that file could be posted somewhere for posterity? I'll be looking next year or so, it would be nice to have.

Are you sure it's the hatch? Could be the strut mounts wearing out as well.

Will be paying cash for a new (to me) vehicle. Have a Pontiac Pursuit right now as a DD, waiting on parts for the ignition cylinder recall. Will be looking at a subaru outback/forester/crosstrek as a dd/family car before I buy a new toy - will be paying at least 50% cash for that too. The new...
