Alrighty I've been trying to sell my car and get into something a little more race friendly. It's not going well, banks don't enjoy loaning more than $100 for a 20 year old Toyota. Before I do something stupid and sell my supra for half of what its worth, I'd like to know if it could...

All the Alabama people followed me into this thread to embarass me :<.

I didn't think it was worth bragging about but I pulled a 14.1@107mph with my 7m. Upgraded CT-26 on stock 440s, 360rwhp. I don't think proof is needed as no one would make up a launch that shitty.

Dammit there's talk around work that we may be working Saturday as well. I missed the Shootout last year too. :<

Someone needs to drive down to Mobile and make Scott get his car done :<

Bring the starter to autozone. Can't they test them for free? If the starter relay clicks when you turn the ignition then the problem most likely lies in the wiring to the starter or the starter itself.

Well good news kind of. The guy who was supposed to buy my car yesterday needs to wait a week for his loan. He works all day Saturday so I will have my car this weekend. Hurray! In other news it looks like the car is most likely sold to someone local :<.

There were 2 mkiv guys and one of their friends and then me and Andrew. One had a 15th anniversary NA 5spd, very well maintained. The other guy had a BPU TT. I didn't exactly fit in. I don't think I'm going to show up to any more meets unless we have a guaranteed mkiii population. The...

I used to set off car alarms with open DP, there's plenty of reasons to run a muffler.

It was last weekend, and I thought you were going to be there. I had to hang out with mkiv guys :< . This weekend is the last auto-x of the season though if anyone ends up over there.

If your referring to me, mine was genuine HKS. Of course it had been on the car since I bought it, so it had god knows how many miles on it. It's a bad way for a product to fail though.

A search should pull up many peoples methods for removing it. It's just 2 bolts and the power/ground wires. The hard part is manuevering to the bolts. It's a long hard job, but with time you will develop a good method. You don't need to remove the intake manifold or any of that. The easiest way...

Back on topic I lose a quart every 500 miles, I am too lazy to fix my leaks. Of course for me it takes 6 months to put 500 miles on the car.

Some of the Bham supra guys from SF are meeting on Sunday. I have no clue how many people will be there or if we have anything planned. Come on out if your around.

Well I'm on my second. I'd like to sell mine and buy another but no one will buy it :<.

Is it at engine speed or half engine speed? Seconding the stethescope.

My brothers 3000GT (v6) is down right now because the crank pulley is wobbling like crazy. We just assumed he tore up the bottom end and its walking though. Glad to know it was a simple fix.

Get an auto stethascope (sp?) or as mentioned drain or look at the oil for shavings. With the stethascope you can hone in on the noise location. Don't get too hasty on declaring rodknock, both times I've had it I knew the cause (oil starvation from revving or low oil.) Is the sound at engine...

Scott if you have the starter already out try cleaning up the copper contacts and plunger inside with some sandpaper. It may not be a permanent solution but may get you running for now. I have an old 7m starter laying around, but the copper contacts on it are worn (like $5 for Toyota)

Most comfortable seat ever, I even use it as a computer chair. <-- Someone told me a few months ago that in the old days people had to lock them down or they would get stolen to be put into celicas and whatnot. Don't know the truth behind that but I believed it.
