I recently took out the engine (7MGTE) out of my '87 supra. I forgot to bag a few bolts because I was in a rush to get it done and finish (I know, I know...bad excuse)... I forget where these bolts came from, I am 90% sure they came from below because of the slightly rusted and dusty color...

I started the process of removing my engine from the car tonight. I am having troubles removing the exhaust. I am trying to remove it as one piece, so I am trying to get the nuts off from the turbo elbow. I was using 2 long extensions and a deep socket and it was barely long enough from the...

I just got the car (87 supra turbo 5spd) on the road and insured 2 weeks ago after a dreadful month of failing inspections... Now that it's working I have been driving it a little bit around town. Yesterday I was driving in the rain and while turning left at a stop light and shifting from...

A few weeks ago on a dreadful hot afternoon I found out my air conditioning AND "cold" air setting doesn't work. The A/C seemed to blow hotter air than what the fresh air blew. I had the temperature set to 18*C and it seemed to be blowing out 28*C air. This is AFTER the car had been running for...
