    Spiking Temp Gauge

    Well, FACK!! My new MHG is officially leaking. Wish it could have been a number of other things. My mechanic said he is going to retorque the head down. I was just wondering, would thise even solve the problem or just delay it until it happens again since it wasn't sealed correctly...

    Spiking Temp Gauge

    Thanks, I'm still learning and understand the basics but not the whole interworkings of the motor yet, but now that you explained it, makes perfect sense. I'll change the thermo and burp her, then take it from there.

    Spiking Temp Gauge

    Ok will do, I'll give those a try. BTW, Ideal, if it is just the thermostat, is that normal for the overflow tank to fill 75% up in hot weather?

    Spiking Temp Gauge

    Can a coolant and pressure test be done at any regular auto shop? When I had a compression test done and found out I had a BHG, last time I did it at the dealer, but they are so damn expensive. Or would something like a coolant and pressure test cost about the same at most places?

    Spiking Temp Gauge

    This past December I had a MHG, all new hoses, removed EGR and the LEX/AFM done to my supra. Right before I had this work done the Temp gauge used to spike, (go up real fast and return to normal). Well apparently the temp sensor had been eroded and that was replaced when the MHG went on...

    Short Throw Shifter

    I have the Supra Sport SS shifter installed, however I bought it before they had come out with the shortened shaft, so it is still stock height. My brother has the SOGI SS mod done, which is shorter shaft but not throw. I like the lower feel of this better and was wondering if it would be safe...

    Removing Steering Wheel

    Thanks for the help everyone, I'll give it a try this afternoon. The piece I am referring to since my original post might not have been clear is the black plastic piece which wraps around the ignition hole. It is cracked directly above the hole. The entire piece which wraps around the...

    Removing Steering Wheel

    My black steering column piece above the ignition key was damaged when my car was broken into. To remove it the black center console piece needs to come out. Did not know whether I could take it off without removing the steering wheel. Anyone know. If I need to remove the steering wheel...

    June 11: Englishtown

    My bro and I will be going. Just wondering if any meeting spots had been established in the Philly or DE area of people going down in a group? It would be great to get a whole pack of us going down together.

    June 11: Englishtown

    I'll most likely be going, from West Chester PA. I have to fix the inside of my car though. Some asshole broke into it in the shop and stole my head unit and destroyed my center console!! It is fixable though.

    MkIIIs Invade Las Vegas (aka - Supras Invade Las Vegas 2005)

    Just out of curiosity, are there any major supra events on the east coast? I know there is one in Englishtown NJ sometimes, which I went to 2 yrs ago, but did not know if any other big events existed. I would love to go to the event in Vegas but don't really want to make the drive being from PA.

    mk3 tribute

    Thanks for posting this RCR89, I had this video on my computer a while back, but then my hard drive crashed and I lost it. It is definitely one of the better MKIII videos I have seen. By the way, how do you get the headlights to partially pop up like that? I have seen many people do it but...
