    Weird Idle issue?

    After about 5 minutes of warming up, my Supra idles at around the 700 - 800rpm range. I never put two thoughts to it.

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    Hehe, why that's none other than "Max Headroom" -- a low-budget British Sci-fi series from the 80's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_%28character%29 He was so popular that for a little while, Coke used him as their spokesman and he even appeared on some popular late night talk show.

    Car Died -- Electrical Problems?

    Well, just got back from my drive -- everything seems fine, if not better. This might sound crazy, but my power-steering seems a lot lighter now; and all my interior lights seems to shine brighter and work better. (Before the lights would dim if I, say, had my heat cranked up and the...

    Car Died -- Electrical Problems?

    Well, I tightened the hell out of the positive terminal whilst freezing my ass in slightly warmer -30'C weather. The temperature didn't help much because the plastic terminal protector seemed frozen to the lead... it was just a pain in the ass, lemme put it that way. I'm going to test it out...

    You and me both. But I think I will table this for now until it warms enough for me to actually mess around with it. Thanks again everybody!

    Car Died -- Electrical Problems?

    Howdy all, During a recent adventure in my beloved '89 Supra, I encountered a peculiar problem that I am trying to diagnose. I was cresting a hill and slowing down for a four-way-stop when all of a sudden my car... died. The first thing that happened in my eyes was the power-steering went...

    I'm afraid I'm gonna have to wait until Summer/Spring -- it's -40'C and snowing outside.

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    Well shit. :/ They claimed it would be "easy to install". Maybe they half-assed it just to get my order through?

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    It appears that there are no proper mounting holes or rubber gasket; yet it seems like there are holes to... mount one? Pretty confusing. I'm a noob at handyman stuff, lol. The craftsmanship is surprisingly good, but for $450+ I expect it to be, lol! I don't think it was worth the wait...

    Look what finally came! It's beautiful. No mounting hardware though. I think I'm going to have to do some drilling and stuff. :< I have no idea how, though. BUT IT'S HERE!

    Need Help With Battery

    What a hassle that was. Oh well, new battery is in, and works pretty well. I got stuck in the snow backing out of my driveway, though. D: Yeah, as it turns out the previous owner put the WRONG SIZE battery in my car...

    Need Help With Battery

    I'm looking to get a new battery for my Supra. My last one has gone dead for the last time -- I think it may be faulty -- as it had been sitting for a few years with the vehicle before I bought it off of the previous owner. Is there any specific information that I require to present to a...

    Pulled Over for "Stunting"

    I did some shopping around and figured I got a pretty good deal on them. They hook up quite nicely.

    Pulled Over for "Stunting"

    So I was downtown in my small town to go pick up a parcel from the Courier's office. Let me start by saying that the weather here has been below zero for a few months. (I live in Northern Alberta, Canada) - so we have quite a lot of snow. (And ice!) I was at a 4-way stop - and after...
