    New Rod Bolts?

    I have new oem rod bolts for my rebuild. Will the rods have to be resized when using new oem bolts as when installing ARPs? Also, what's the best way to remove the stock bolts, they seem pretty stuck in there.

    Are these cams stock?

    I was told that the used engine that I bought had aftermarket cams. It has adjustable cam gears as well. Anyways, it says TRD on both cams? Do all the cams have this? I thought I heard of there being TRD cams but I'm not sure...

    Car running really rich, no codes

    My car is completely stock by the way. Anyways, I reset my ecu when I was installing some battry terminal covers. After that I drove around and got 6 mpg, including some highway. I reset the ecu again and I'm getting 10mpg. Usually I get 13-14 mpg all city. I checked for codes and I get...

    Quarter mile w/ stock supra and slicks?

    Hey everyone. I'm going drag racing this weekend with my completely stock 5spd turbo. I have some slicks available to me. I could run all 4 wheels with slicks but I was wondering if I would really gain from slicks being completely stock and all. Also, would it be fine to run slicks only in...

    Took my Supra Road Racing

    Last weekend I took my 7M supra to Willow Springs raceway. It was my first time on the track. I think I did pretty well and I learned a lot. I did not have any big problems but I did keep loosing coolant, it kept boiling out of the overflow and I had to keep filling it up. My supra was all...

    Quick Question (in the middle of HG retorque)

    I did a quick search but I couldn't find my exact answer. So, I'm in the middle of my head gasket retorque and I'm going in the TSRM sequence. However, for some of the head bolts, the cam shafts are in the way. To get them to move I need to move the crankshaft, correct? However, I am just...

    Axle boot question

    I noticed that my rear passenger shock had alot of gunk on it. In fact, the entire area was covered with the stuff. I think my axle boot has a puncture in it letting some of the grease out. I haven't heard any noises from the axle yet but I still think I should replace it, better safe than...

    Hatch will not open

    My latch near the drivers seat has never really worked so I've been using my key. This past weekend my friend was going into my trunk to get some tools and the key turned to the right and then got stuck that way. I tore apart the trunk and took the lock mechanism out but I couldn't get it...

    Shock problem

    So, I installed my KYB GR-2 not too long ago and I've had a problem with it clunking ever since. The top center nut holding the rubber mount is not tightened all the way. There is at least 1mm space between the nut and the mount. So, when I drive over a bump the shock stud thing goes up and...

    What coilovers to get for road racing?

    I'm looking at coilover options right now and I'm wondering what I should get. What are you guys running on? What would you recommend to me? Ride comfort is not really an issue, however, obviously I'm not going to get $5k race coilovers on my daily driver. I just want something that is...

    Stock headunit

    My speakers are blown and I'm going to be replacing them soon. However, I want to keep the stock headunit because it looks nicer and it's stock. Anyways, I have a 1990 with cassette, no CD player. I heard the 90s with CD palyers got an amp, but, I don't think I have one. My question is...
