I've had an annoying wind noise in my window corner ever since I got my car in 2007. I never got around to searching for the answer until this year - 7 years and 65k miles of driving after I bought my car. I found a few comments on some other small Supra forums, but nobody had pictures and...

Alright SM guru's. I come to you seeking some knowledge. I have an intermittent starting problem with my 7MGTE. It's embarrassing and I can't seem to track it down. Overview: Car will always crank ok, but will occasionally fail to start. This seems to happen more when it is hot or warm, but has...

Hello gents. I'm just grabbing some random opinions to see how logical my thought process is regarding my state's unfortunate legislation changes coming this summer. We will have mag limits of 15 rounds or fewer. Many of the pistols I had my eye on for a year plus are 16-19 round mags. MP9...

Picked this up yesterday: S&W MP15-22. Ordered 2 30 rd mags today and will be looking to pick up a few 25 round S&W mags when i can find any available. Colorado House passed 4 laws aimed at punishing gun owners last week and the senate is likely to pass them as well. So... before they...

Hello friends, I'm going to be doing some suspension work on the Supra this winter (planning on Tokico HP and Eibach springs) and I'll be doing some stock replacement on my MR2 this fall. I'll need a spring compressor for at least the MR2 and the Supra if the Eibach springs are long enough...

So my mk3 has a ton of slop in the stock 2-piece driveshaft. If the rear section hasn't already twisted, it can't be far off. I have the stock w58 DS with ~325k miles. The last 15k of which have been with a turbo motor tearing at the axles. I need to replace the driveshaft with something new...

Hello gents. My 90 with stock driveshaft has MAJOR radial play (think up and down as you lay under the car). The play is at least 0.25 inch, maybe up to 0.75 inch. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. My initial thought was it means that the bearing is absolutely toast, but I'm unsure. My...

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/20/us/colorado-theater-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Gunman kills 12 in Colorado movie theater (CNN) -- A heavily armed gunman tossed tear gas into the darkness of an Aurora, Colorado movie theater Friday and then sprayed the audience with gunfire during an early...

So it's been a year since I bought a car and figure that needs to change. I sold my 91 Yota truck for $3700 and bought a POS 91 NA MR2 for $1700. $2k in the bank and better gas mileage. Woot! Car is mostly stock, but has certainly been messed with. The body is rough. Very rough. Not many...

Came across this on local craigs and thought I'd share and use it as an opportunity to see some of our own clean 91-92's. If anyone's got a super clean shadow grey car, lets see em! Stock, clean, low mile 92 Tubro, Black ext, shadow grey int, leather, sunroof. Unfortunately the seller knows...

Hey guys, I'm rebuilding my harness and I'm choosing the shielding material for my knock sensors, CPS wires and OX sensor. I want a good effective solution and I've found a few options. Mainly metal braid, conductive nylon and heatshrink tubing. The heatshrink tubing tends to be most expensive...

I made a little wiring connector service tool per the Toyota Repair Manual directions. I can depin just about every connector but the single terminal water temp and oil pressure sender. Does anyone know how to de-pin these? The oil pressure, I can move the locking tab up and release the pin a...

So this year, I'm actually getting more back than I thought on my tax return. I try to keep my withholdings equivalent to what I will owe, but I ran into a large bonus check this year which was heavily taxed (~36-38%, i believe). Damn bonuses, always messing up my tax plans... Anyways, I've...

Hello everybody. I'm debating my tire options for the Supra. I have 17x8 FN01R-C wheels all around. I currently have 235/45/17 all season tires which are simply no good. I lose traction WOT with only 8-10 lbs boost in second gear. My new tires will likely be BF goodrich G-force KDW 2's...

Yo SM. I've wanted a motorcycle for years. I finally have some extra cash (No mortgage, no car payment and no kids yet. Ain't life grand? :D ) and I think it's time I indulge in this desire. This fall/winter/spring I'm planning on taking a class, getting some good safety/riding gear and a...

Hey guys, I have a decision and I'm on the fence. I'm asking the SM crowd to weigh in and help me out. I have an opportunity to buy a clean, stock 1992 sc300 auto with 220,000 miles and a BHG, according to the current owner. Asking price is ~$1000. I'd be buying the car to flip and gain...

Hey all. SO my Toyota truck (91) is running like complete crap. I hate driving a car not up to par and I'm determined to set it straight. I wanted to use my timing light to check for ignition on each cylinder. I thought this was a neat idea. Just clamp the light to each wire and make sure...

Hey all. I recently bought a 1991 Toyota Pickup 3.0 V6 4x4. Two cylinders had 30 psi pressure. time to tear it apart. I just broke 3 head bolts in the block. They cracked loose, but after about one turn, they yielded and broke off into the block. I'm confident a few other will go as well. What...

How many on here have upgraded their insurance coverage to reflect their mods and get them covered? My 90 G(T)E is about to get a few upgrades with many more in the future. (Full Raptor Racing exhaust, Aftermarket wheels, Suspension... etc.) When I shopped around for insurance, Progressive and...

I remember a while back somebody repairing wiring harnesses and bringing them back to life. It wasn't cheap, but looked to be a very thorough fixing. Is that person still around? I'm pretty sure I'd recognize the s/n if I saw it. My harness is basically shit. I need to replace it this...
