Their 2 gauge pod is what I have, fitment was poor on it, although I haven't seen the 3 gauge ones so I wouldn't know if they fit better or worse. In any case, both of them fit pretty poorly, but can be made passable if you are willing to spend hours trimming and fitting one to get it just...

That is a sexy motor. -AM3

I do agree, I was not happy with teh original fitment of mine. It looks passable now, but it took me about 6 hours to get it to fit that good. Do you have a brand you would recommed or know somebody that makes ones that fit well? I would eventually like to do mine right, but that's near the...

Wish I would have had that advice when I got mine, would have saved me a lot of time. What I ended up doing was shaving one edge down using a wizard. Many hours later it fit better, but still not perfect... -AM3

So that's the bus that most the new guys come in on... :P -AM3

Exactly. If you start doing ghetto fixes, your car will end up like mine did when I bought it. I'm still fixing "Ghetto fixes" the previous owner did, and I bought the car over three years ago. Not to mention the safety aspect of driving your car hard and leaking power steering fluid. How do you...

Do a compression test. If it has low compression, do a wet compression test. If the compression numbers go up, its your rings. -AM3

Search Button™ is a highly recommended brand around here. -AM3

Can you get a picture any closer? I can't tell with it that far away... -AM3

White smoke is coolant, if you are burning oil it will usually have a bluish color. -AM3

TEMS is Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension. It basically adjusts the dampening rate based on a variety of factors. Under normal cruise, it is at 1 (1 green light lit up). Under cornering, hard braking, or quick acceleration, it will switch to 2 or 3 (2 or ythree lights lit up). The more...

Yeah, driving even a short distance with a BHG will cause coolant to mix with the oil, which kills the bearings. Then you're looking at a full rebuild. -AM3

That would be sweet if you made it to a meet in Indy, I remember seeing your car when you were in the parts gathering stage, lol. -AM3

It was a few years ago, and I bought a bunch of parts then so I couldn't remember. But you are right its only about $100 with shipping. -AM3

That's definitely coolant. You most likely are looking at a head gasket replacement, possibly a full rebuild depending on how much its been driven like that. -AM3

Thing to be careful of is fake Walbros. There were a lot of them coming out of China when I bought mine, so I got mine through Driftmotion so I know its authentic. I already had a Walbro 255 in the car when I bought it, but the previous owner couldn't verify that it was authentic, so it got...

the bolts are not TTY. Sometimes you can buy time with re-torquing the headbolts, sometimes you can't. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if retorquing causes some BHG's. I believe 8 PSI is stock for a manual, can't speak for an auto. On a stock (Not rebuilt) engine, I would keep it at 8-10 at...

It actually uses a high tech brand called Search Button™. Not using Search Button™ can lead to problems like blown head gasket and rod knock, as well as dangerous levels of looking like an idiot. -AM3

White smoke is coolant. If you were burning oil, it would have a bluish tint. -AM3

Nope, Maroon one with faded bumpers. I didn't get it down here until September, and I only drove it for a month on nice days, you'll definitely see it around next summer unless my plans for it change. Awesome, I should be able to make it out, not sure if the Supra will that early though. -AM3
