    What is the other car you have ?

    I have an 83 Cressida, needs some paint and minor bodywork but the interior is in really good shape (complete w/ digital dash). Just picked up a 92 4runner cheap as it needs some engine work but thats not a big worry. The interior on that is almost perfect and the exterior is in good shape as...

    9/11 Video (Loose Change)

    When they did the design for the Towers the largest civilian plane that was around was a 727 and the scenario they used was one of these that was off course in fog/cloudcover trying to land. It was never intended to survive a 767 at high speed with a full load of fuel. There is a big difference...

    Cressida 7m-Ge Question

    The 5mge also only has 2 valves per cylinder instead of the 7m's 4. It also puts out less HP then the 7m. I have an 83 Cressida with a 5mge in it. It's ok for that car but it is alot loghter than the Supra.

    Whats your old car

    First was a 79 Toyota Truck, 4 speed manual. Couldn't even peg the speedo that only went to 75. Then had an 88 Isuzu Impulse Turbo, had to get rid of it a year later as I couldn't afford it anymore. Then I picked up a 77 Celica Coupe. After everything but the engine fell apart on that I got a 79...

    Look at the 10th digit of the VIN, if it is a L then it is a 90, if it is a K it is an 89.

    Any computer experts out there???

    The System Idle Process is basically what is left over from everything else. You may be able to go in the startup tab under MSConfig (type it into the Run pormpt on the start menu) and shut down things that are not supposed to be there, just don't shut down stuff in the windows folder unless you...

    File a complaint with everyone you can think of that may have any jurisdiction in this situation (anyone who handles international fraud, software piracy etc). Notify Nintendo's offices there and ask for whoever handles software piracy and such and give them everything you have. Also notify Ebay...

    I Ask Everyone here to read this Post!

    I think this whole thing has shown some areas that are in need of improvement but I don't think it calls for anything major. I would prefer to keep the OT section as it lets everyone discuss other interests with others here within our comunity. I do think OT needs some new guidelines on what is...

    Radiator hose question

    I used to live in Vegas. If he is living on campus they don't want anyone working on cars there and with the rodeo finals going on they would patrol alot more since it is at UNLV arena (I think).

    Radiator hose question

    I don't think it will make a 500 mile trip like that. With the engine cold, loosen the radiator cap so any pressure built up in the system is released and the coolant goes into the overflow bottle. Then go ahead and loosen the clamp and push the hose the rest of the way on the radiator. With...

    heater core

    I'm not as fast as I used to be and it was the first time have removed the dash so I went slow so I didn't screw something up. The whole time I was doing it, I kept thinking that damn heater core was the first part that touched the assembly line. I'm glad its done since we had some freezing rain...

    heater core

    Ok, I did mine last weekend, I'll give a quick walkthrough on the order I took things out of the car. If you can find the TSRM here for the 90 Supra, look under the Body chapter at the Safety Pad, that is the dash components (not including the heater). If I can figure out how to post pics, I'll...

    ran across a problem.....

    I had a similar problem when I redid my headgasket. It turns out when I put the Timing Belt back on, I started with the exhaust side and went to the intake side so any slack in the belt was between the crankshaft and the intake cam instead of the other side where the tensioner was. Once the...

    attacks on christmas

    All these people that want us to be politically correct just sucks. I am not religeous but I have no problem with the pledge or Christmas. Besides, when was the last time you saw Santa or a Christmas tree in a Nativity scene? I don't think Santa was one of the Three Wise Men. The Christmas...
