I can totally relate! I am 6'2" and experience the same issues. Sometimes I swear that the seat cushion settles while I am driving and I have to raise it up. The lumbar is great except it feels just a little too low. The steering wheel blocking the gauges is also a frustration that I hope to...

This is a no BS story, but I once bought an 87 that the owner had similar problems after replacing the HG himself. When I pulled the head he had put the HG on BACKWARDS! I know it doesn't really apply to your situation, just a little LOL Good luck, hope it isn't too serious.

Just curious, does anyone use the old Hurst T handle ?

As the Good Book says "that sucketh mightily" Nothing like replacing a head gasket to become intimately involved with a Supra! Good Luck

Oil filter lol!

Last month I had to put a tarp over mine and park it due to kids medical bills and the "slow" economy. When factoring in the maintenance, insurance and gas prices for premium, it was like giving myself a raise. It has only been three weeks but I am going through severe withdrawl pains...

Isn't the R154 a Getrag designed trans?

Did you make sure the injector is functioning properly?

I regret puting in a stage three and aluminum flywheel (Fidanza and Spec). The car is not very forgiving and is uncomfortable to drive around town and I always worry about crank walk. However, on a road course and "high spirited" driving it works great because it is in the element for which it...

The problem was from a thrust bearing that had fallen out due to extreme wear. The bearing had actually worn a groove in the crankshaft! I believe it was due to improper clearance between the bearing and crank surface, being too "tight" it was starved for oil. The fix was "simple", remove...

Combustion chamber pressure leaking into the coolant passages (HG that is not sealing properly, warped or cracked head or block deck) would possibly cause the hose to be hard. Was the head and block machined properly to accept an MLS gasket? Perhaps a leakdown test is in order for the #5...

Brake pads are cheaper than clutches (and thrust bearings if you run a stage 3.) I just push the shift lever into neutral when coming to a stop, "heel toe" when down shifting through a corner and never hold the clutch in while waiting at a stop or rest my foot on the pedal while driving.

Pick - N - Pull

If it was kept dry i.e. no water inside the cylinders I would think it should be ok. I would probably pull the plugs and squirt some oil inside then rotate it by hand a few times before starting it.

To paint them I assume they are being removed and painted seperately?

I found these wheels and tires on the local classifieds for $200.00. The tires were almost new and I thought they would make good winter season wheels. Because the chrome was peeling I decided to paint them. Using my peanut grinder with a wire wheel, I "roughed" them up and also removed any...

After 20+ years it is time to replace the plug wires, I would appreciate suggestions on replacements, should I go factory or aftermarket?

I found mine at the local pic n pull - pulled them from a couple of old Corollas

Just a heads up for anyone interested, I just returned from the local Tear A Part (Salt Lake City, UT) where I saw a complete SC300 engine and all. Not a bad deal for $124.00. It is on row 55 about 4 cars from the wall.
