    batt fully charged, doesnt do a thing

    Well this morning when I went out to start my car, all I got was a clicking sound. So checking the battery (it was at 7v) I charged it quick and it started right up. I then realized that I left my parking lights on last night so thought that was the culprit. After letting it run for about 5...

    Sticky gas pedal

    Well I'm just learning to drive my manual supra (I've only had a small amount of previous experience) and I think it would be a lot easier if my pedal wasnt so sticky or jumpy. I'll press the pedal, but it wont go and then when I put a little more pressure on it, it'll go down and jump up to...

    Tough handle lock

    When I go to open my door and try to unlock it, I have to fight with the damn thing for it to turn all the way over to unlock. The whole door handle assembly is somewhat loose from the body of the car so I dont know if this is why. But I just wanted to know what I should do first to maybe...

    Everything else works fine, just wondering if there are any common reasons why cd players stop playing burned cd's. How much does it usually cost to get a deck fixed if I would have to take it in?

    does anyone have pictures of exactly where to tee a vacuum line for a boost gauge hook up? I have a couple places where I think it might be, but I dont know.

    Flapping sound

    I searched, but didnt really come up with a straight answer. When I build up boost and release off the throttle, there is a flapping sound. Where is this pressure being released from, the bpv? I just listen to some audio clips of supras, but they always have the woosh and I just have a...

    Blue Smoke??

    Where can I find spring band clamps?

    I dont know exactly if that is what they are called, but whatever they are, I need them, or at least want really bad. They are the clamps that you take a pliers and clamp to tabs to loosen, then slip over the hose, and then release. I'm using them for my Bosch 110 install so I'll need (3) 1"...
