    I'm in Sport Compact Car..

    yeah, he was to his girlfriend, "I'll shut up now!". Anytime I'm working on a vehicle, he is asking me questions, wanting to help. I'm repainting the Supra, and he's in there with his ventilator mask on wanting to know what we're doing. He also loves MKIV Supras, but not as much as MKIII. He...

    I'm in Sport Compact Car..

    Thanks. My 9 year old really loves cars. When he was 6 we were walking through Walmart and he pointed at the back of an Impala and said "look they're trying to make it look like a Skyline". When we went to 2F2F at the beginning where Paul Walker pulls up in his Skyline, a teenage behind us tells...

    I'm in Sport Compact Car..

    Thanks for all the great comments. The caption they put on it was "we say: a good father/sons bonding moment". When I submitted the picture, Ed Loh wrote me back the next day that they wanted to use it in their next issue, but I didn't want to say anything until it really happened. My kids want...

    In my case the bolts twisted off, were rusty. But actually it made it easier that way, but was a pain the attach the new fenders.

    I'm in Sport Compact Car..

    I posted the picture and story here before; giving my 9 year old a ride with a smokey burnout for his birthday, and my 12 year old took a great picture. Well for the heck of it I submitted it to SCC for "burnout of the month". We're in this months (October) issue. It may seem like a little thing...

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    yes, it looks like I'm going to respray it all. At least all the bodywork and stuff is done, so it's just a matter of sanding, masking, and re-spraying. I want it to be right, and not look jenky. Thanks!

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    I appreciate moral support! I don't know why the pics are so big...I keep'em on photobucket. One part of computering I'm not so good at. Like painting haha. I will get it though, so thanks for the support. I love my Supra.

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    Thanks Weezl. I'm going to start sanding with 600 and see what it looks like. Another guy told me it would probably be ok as long as I did entire PANELS. I need to make sure, I guess that I don't need to redo every panel. Either way, 1 qt, or one gallon, I still gotta sand it down. Thanks for...

    odd temp gauge prob...opinions?

    Interestingly enough, when I run it with the cap off, the antifreeze will come up and run over. If I give it throttle, the antifreeze level sinks down out of sight, until I let off and then it come back up (and over). It did give off some air bubbles though...I will try the yellow/green stripe...

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    Hey, looking for some advice on my Supra repaint project. Sorry, this story is kinda long, but any advice would be most welcome. I bought my Supra a year ago last May. It had been recently repainted and looked pretty good. There was an area about the size of a shoe that needed repainted on the...

    odd temp gauge prob...opinions?

    Thanks for the ideas. Burping it didn't help, so??? I dunno. It's a mystery. I guess next I'll flush the system. But I'm repainting the car (again) so it's gonna wait for now. Thanks again.

    *INNOVATION* Body Styling Idea *INNOVATION*

    well, I see what you mean, but I personally don't think it would look all that good on our cars. Just my personal opinion. However, that 850 is the sex. I've never seen one before. ( I know, I know....)
