    Tail Light Failure Lamp

    The lamp doesn't light up after it's inital startup check, but then comes on the first time I hit the brakes or turn the lights on. I did a visual inspection and all my lights are good...low beams, high beams, front markers, rear makers, running lights, brake lights, and signals all around...

    Exhaust Leak (close to the engine)

    I heard a little bit of a ticking noise when I was around 0 vac/boost on acceleration one day, so I spent a while trying to track it down. After youtubing/googling and searching around I'm pretty sure it's the sound of a tiny exhaust leak closer to the engine. So I went ahead and checked as...

    Bubbles on disptick

    I've done some searching and couldn't find anything specifically in this forum, but I wanted to confirm anyways. I check the oil immediately after the engine's been running and it's been warmed up, and I'll occasionally see one or two small bubbles BELOW the oil level (not sitting on top)...

    Coolant leak from drain plug?

    I'm 99% sure that's where it's coming from, just a couple tiny drops landing almost directly under the tube from the rad drain. Is this common? Should I just drain, put some sort of sealer on the threads of the plug, and put it all back together or get a replacement plug?

    Am I seeing things....?!

    http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/1798809334.html Is this for real? It can't be... You could get that going with a turbo swap or conversion for well under $10k....and on a nice clean body too!

    Good News!

    Supra has it's own set of plates again! No more temp insurance, it's finally on the road for a stretch longer than 3 days :icon_bigg. After numerous single day insurances, I think I've finally worked out my intermittent no start bug, and I've put a good 1000km on since my top end rebuild with...

    Engine needs a rebuild, where to go from here?

    So my buddy noticed a sizeable oil leak the other day in his driveway on his Supra and took it in to get checked out (after adding oil generously). The verdict is piston ring (or rings) are done, pressurized the bottom end, and blew out his rear main. He's got lots of oil spewed up through his...

    Timing belt slapping lower timing cover

    I've been trying to track down this noise for a while and I finally found it. My timing belt is slapping against the side at ~1750rpm (and wavering again at ~3500rpm, just not bad enough to slap). Any other rpm's (higher or lower) it straightens up nice and tight. At first I thought it might...

    White MK3 in Abbotsford....are you here?

    Just noticed a white mk3 parking just off the round-a-bout by the Mt Lehman exit in Abbotsford. Curious to see if they were on here or anything cause I live incredibly close on Mt Lehman and see it just about daily now.

    Very rich on cold start, cold start injector bad?

    I started my car up today just to make sure it will go when I need it to this weekend to swap my exhaust around and after it fires up I notice a ton of dark smoke from the tail pipe. Then the stock water temp gauge hits just above the bottom line, the smoke stops coming out of the tail pipe and...

    Leaky injector?

    I've got the car off the road for the winter but I've been starting it up every week to clear out any moisture/condensation that has built up in the crankcase/exhaust. Lately I've just noticed that it has puffed a bit of smoke and smelt REALLY rich on initial startup, but clears up within 10...

    No Start Problems

    EDIT: I've left the first posts unedited so you can see where I started, and now where I'm going. After doing some more reading and thinking, I've decided to try and track down the real problem rather than do the relay mod which is essentially a band aid patch fix. For reference...the mod...

    Smoke around exhaust manifold runners?

    Okay, I JUST finished my head swap and fired the car up today. Fires up nicely, runs without a hitch, no check engine light :D. After running for a little bit I noticed that there was some white(ish) smoke comming up from by the exhaust manifold between runners. I know that there is a very...

    Sensors/connectors list?

    Just curious if anyone's compiled a list of sensors, locations, plugs, etc. Done some searching and couldn't find anything, so I thought ask quickly. I've got a few that I'm not sure of where they go right now on my top end project. I'll post pictures if I absolutely can't find them. Think...
