I'm thinking of swapping to a 1jze, and it's gotta be automatic trans, (because I live in Los Angeles and traffic is nasty, so a 5spd won't work for me) but my dilemma is: How well will this work for a daily driver? Being that the 1jze is only 2.5 litres, and from what I understand...

I'm going to switch to nitrogen to inflate my tires. Is anyone doing this? What do you think...notice any improvements? NASCAR uses nitrogen. In fact most race teams have been doing it for years. There are tons of benefits...less oxidation of the tire itself, less heat and...

And that's not even counting the weight of these boat anchors! They are just F'n uncomfortable. I had them completly redone, figuring that would help, but they still suck. I keep adjusting the height and the incline and the lumbar...but I cannot get comfortable in them. I'm normal size...

I was reading another thread which brought up the subject of degree-ing in your cams and it got me thinking about : A. What is the factory setting on cam timing (intake and exhaust)? B. What are optimal settings (vs. stock)? C. Does anyone who has degreed in their cams remember how much...

I'd sure appreciate it if someone knows how long, or could measure their dipstick and tell me the length of the damn thing. I busted mine accidentally (where it's pop rivited to the little grab handle) last night, and set it on the curb in front of my house. I forgot to take it into the...

Has anybody wired accessory switches onto an aftermarket steeringwheel? (brittania in this case, but I think it would apply to any aftermarket wheel) I have a momentary switch mounted on the steering wheel that I like, but right now I'm using an external coil wound wire (similar to what you...

You know how everybody says, "well, it's a 20 year old car, it's gonna rattle and clunk etc...you just have to get use to it". I cannot get use to it! I have spent the last three years trying to get rid of every rattle, squeek, clunk, wind noise (not easy with a sunroof) and I think I'm...

I saw them on ebay a while back. Were these factory? What years? Also, what is the purpose?

Does anybody out there know if "lazy" seat belt retractors can be fixed? My seatbelts don't want to retract on their own and you have to kinda feed them back into the retractor thingy. I don't want racing harnesses so I have to find a way to fix the spring loaded retractors or buy new ones...

Yeah I know, cause they suck...beat you to it. But seriously, I'm not an expert on shock rebuilding. I have heard over and over that the tems cannot be rebuilt or revalved or anything. Could someone explain to me why? My koni's are shaking my teeth loose. I miss the adjustability of...

]Just like the title suggests I have some headlight anomalies. Here's the problem. When I turn my headlights on, I get all appropriate exterior lights, except my low-beam headlights. When I switch to hi-beams they work fine. I checked fuses and relays...all OK. As a last resort...

I have a speed sensitive vibration at around 60mph, it doesn't matter if your coasting, accelerating, in neutral, or in gear. It's a vibration you can feel through the bottom of the seat and it's bad enough to make the rear view mirror totally blurry. Any other speed and the car is totally...

I just replaced my upper control arm ball joint dust cover and am goin to do the same on the other side of the car. Problem is that it took me forever to get the little springy clip that holds the top of the dust cover on to the ball joint on. I know it sounds stupid, but this thing is hard...

Put your flame-throwers away...I'm just curious. I've heard of this swap talked about in theory, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any existing examples or writeups regarding an MA70-1UZ-FE hybrid? In particular I'd like to know how straightforward the swap would be and how much...

I haven't written for a while (mostly lurk as of late), unfortunately my time has all been invested in staying alive lately. I had something come up and wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar. I replaced my starter with a Bosch brand rebuild from Pep Boys... (I know what you're...

My good downpipe cracked, and while I get it repaired I'm forced to use my stock downpipe. Problem is the heatshield is a nasty rattling piece of crap. I can't stand the deafening rattle the tin heatshield makes. Can I tear the crappy heatshield off it and run without it, or will this...

I'm getting ready to re-upholster my seats in leather and I saw a guys icon in this club that had his seats done in leather. I believe it was gray with red inserts. Again it looked to be all leather and he has a picture of it on his screen icon. Anyone have any pictures of a nice (and...

Has anyone here ever replaced their LSD clutch plates? Is it possible for the average guy to do it? Any threads on this? (I couldn't find them). edit: Also how does one test their LSD with an automatic trans? THANKS!

I'm putting an oil temp gauge in my Supra and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to locate the oil temp sender that came with the gauge?

:1zhelp: I cant figure it out...no spark from the coil on my NA/T. I checked the green four prong connector going in to the coil and igniter (it's an n/a coil and distributor) and there are four wires going in only one of which has power when ignition is turned on. Is that supposed to be like...
