    I found a MKIII I'm going to ask about buying...but...

    I wanted to ask some things here first... I was kindly given an autocheck on the vehicle, and here's what I'm given for it's record....leading me to believe it's a single-owner car. Here is the very small (compared to my car) report, I omitted the city, and there is NO mileage record anywhere...

    I can't seem to pick a comfortable driving position...

    Does anyone else have this problem?:icon_mad: I'm about 6 feet tall, and 160ish lbs, for reference. I adjust my driver's seat so often...almost weekly I imagine. More often than not I'm uncomfortable these days. I find that odd since all I hear about our seats is that they are comfortable...

    Installing crank timing pulley woodruff key, oil seals, and pressing balancer on?

    I've done some searching and reading and found some things, but still have these questions. I purchased a new woodruff key for the timing belt crank pulley from toyota, and it's a very tight fit, I can only manage to stick 1/3 of one end in by hand in attempt to wiggle or push it down in...I...

    Tropicana "Rescue the Rainforest", anyone else doing this?

    I've been typing in codes off of orange juice that we buy at Costco in order for Tropicana to pay to 'save' 100sq. ft. of Rainforest for each carton. This doesn't seem like much, but I figure...what the hell, can't hurt...and it adds up. Has anyone else been submitting codes? I figured I'd...

    Earthquake! Smooshed Celica. Not mine but hey...

    We had a 6.5 earthquake up here on the north coast of California, and I found these pics on facebook of a poor little celica that didn't make it when a brick wall from the building in the background plummeted a couple stories onto the car. I figured it was mildly relevant to the boards...

    What's the little hole in the bottom of the water pump?

    I can see a little moisture and a trail of thick black sludge running from the hole. Is it some sort of drain?

    Found the knock - My harmonic Balancer was loose. Tips for repair please??

    Background: I thought I had rod knock because the rattle became worse the other day. Did some listening here and there with stethoscope but didn't get good results. I pulled the first four plug wires and the noise (coming from the front of the engine) never stopped. Sooo I took off the belts...

    What car(s) do you regret selling the most? (bring pics!!)

    I hope this isn't a reposted topic, I am copying it from another thread on a VW forum I stumbled into, and I thought it would be neat to hear from you guys (being fellow supra owners and all). Plus, I'm not personally partial to golfs' and there were a lot showing up over there. :p I have...

    What do you guys shave with? (gals too if you wish)

    I'm really just curious about what men shave with since I'm one, and I dont need a product that's good for leg shaving. I just wanted to see what products you all think are good. I know some won't work as well for me as they do for you but whatever. Also, I just stumbled upon an add for...

    Has anyone done 24 hours of LeMons??

    http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/ My friend and I are considering doing this, we don't have a car yet but we're looking around. For those that don't know and are curious, the rules are basically that you have a budget of 500 dollars to get a car, upgrade it, and race it. Doesn't include...

    So if you drive without an oil filler cap....

    What does it do? I'm guessing that a properly sealed engine is supposed to develop a vacuum inside it and that's what creates the vacuum for the rest of the components that need it...am I right? I dont know anything about this aside from speculations made from experience. Either way, my...

    Is replacing a Celica All-Trac clutch hard?

    Since I found this 1988 all-track for 1500 dollars but it needs a new clutch and some electrical work.... I'm not too familiar with the drivetrain...or replacing clutches. but i'm guessing its more difficult than it would be in a RWD front-engine car... I did my BHG by myself and i've...

    Anybody else using a modded Xbox?

    I have a first-gen xbox modded with Evolution-x. So far all that works for me is games and ripping games. I have about 35 on my HD right now. I bought it like this but I'm learning more on how the mods were done. I've seen unleash-x and some other mods and I want to change operating systems...

    Futons....good or bad?

    I've been thinking about getting a futon. Right now I have a bed and a couch in my room and I'd LOVE to have more space. Are futons comfy? Do they cause any issues with the body like backaches or are they bad for your back? I was thinking I'd get rid of my bed and couch, replace them with...

    Has anyone seen an mkIII in top gear (besides the intro?)

    I was watching an old top gear on youtube, and I noticed the intro more or less showcases an mkIII. There has been mention of this in this thread but just the intro. I was wondering if they ever had a full episode with part dedicated to our car? I figured there is a good chance that if they...

    Anybody on here Woot? Oh, and I made a shirt entry this week...

    So I was thinking today's a good day to ask her out...does this sound OK?

    Well things didn't quite fly, I still think I'll ask her out but not today so I no longer really have a problem. I got some opinions that helped me think about different ways to go about it and I'm good now. Thanks to all who helped!! :) --------------Original message....----------------...
