I've been trying to do some research on this. I'm looking at an MKIII, orginally from canada. It was mentioned to me you can go to the dealer to get a sticker that proves it meets US safety requirements, this could be hear-say though. I've also read you need to get documentation of where the car...

Just curious how this could happen. Went to start the car (it was already warm) and i think i may have released the clutch a MM too much so the clutch switch disengaged (all i can think of) and had complete power loss. Car alarm started freaking out, horn started going but didn't (sounded like...

The last Deer crash pushed the crossmember into the radiator and caused the core to bust :nono:. When i checked it was a pinhole leak, but that was with barely any pressure/heat. It was already warped slightly from the fire, the twisting of the deer hit must have just put it past its limits...

this totalled vehicle situation has me intrigued and open to new options. Im graduating in may and officially done in december with classes. Im getting about $2800 which is a damn good downpayment on something used. Maybe a used MKIV with a private loan. Even if i didn't need a downpayment...

My luck has struck again. I hit a deer with the car, insurance has declared it totaled. This is my second totalled car in less than a year. I can't win. This body had bad paint. Other than that it had HALF the mileage of my other one with ALL the same parts, engine, interior, driveshaft...

There are those that know me personally on this forum. They know i have the worst car luck. People say they do too, they never met me. I've had 5 cars in 6 years. All with things gone terribly wrong with them, 99% of the time its just bad luck. My latest supra has been hit twice in the...

Got a random phone call today saying i'm owed money from like back in 2005. I guess i missed a paycheck back then, under 100 bucks but its still free money kind of since i didn't think i'd ever have it. Id check it out see if maybe you guys have anything...who knows...it only takes about 15...

Edit: keep in mind this is a stock CT in excellent condition Just wondering about how much boost levels should change depending on temperatures. I tuned my car in hot weather, probably 80's to 90's weather and humid (was done in Philly area PA, don't know altitude). I've noticed as its gotten...

The worm gear clamp on the oil pan for my oil cooler lines was resting on the PS RETURN hardline. I guess the vibration of the engine managed slice a small gash into the hardline causing it to gush PS fluid :3d_frown:.....who would thought.... Suggestions on a patch method? Cut is very small...

Is this coolant or oil? Ive notice it on the rear passenger side of the head(cylinder 6) around the EGR cooler. Very white, caked on powder. My suspicion is in the 90* coolant elbow there but don't see anything visiblibly. I only ever notice smoke coming off the exhast mani towards the accumulation.

Im looking for some approximate or exact dimensions for the following components, if you know even one of the following any help would be appreciated, thanks! Please state if they are approximations or "exact" (i don't need you to pull out a micrometer but if its a smaller component, obviously...

Went out for a late night stroll around 5am. Tried to pull out of my paralleled spot in the lot, turned the wheel and GRIIIIIIIIIIND. I stopped and tried to figure out what had happened. Realized the wheel had actually slipped teeth/gearing in the rack, and a significant amount, about 180*. I...

Have a HW assignment for MAE454 class. Its a very very open ended HW so i'm trying to narrow down results. Basically we have to design a fuel line from the diesel pump to the injector. We need to figure hose diameter and material to use. Assume engine speed to be at 1800RPM. That is all we...

Just finished building the workstation for my GM EcoCar Challenge senior design class and had a question about OS's Currently i have XP32 Pro on it as we need to use PSAT which will not operate on 64 from what we know. We will be using programs such as CAD, PSAT, SimuLink, MatLab and...

I've been searching awhile but there are ALOT of car alarm threads and most result in the same solution, which i've tried, locking and unlocking. I was just about home when i realized my engine bay was smoking A LOT:aigo:. All i could think of was "great, what now". Pull over into a friends...

I was just reading through the thread about the guy being beheaded on the bus. A few people in the thread (and not just in that thread, others regaurding the same topic on other forums) constantly stress how people should be very upset and pissed off this happened, and they blame it on the fact...

I find a LOT of supra people i know simply drive around just to pass time. I do this as well. Just wondering how much of the rest of the community does this? I cant even imagine how much money ive wasted just cruising around for no reason :nono:. At the price of gas i probably could've bought...

Just out of curiousity, has anyone ever gotten really drunk and tried to take out your contacts...but they were already out and you didn't realize it, and you think "oh they're just really glued on there from being in too long" ultimately causing your eye a world of hurt? :biglaugh: I did that...

gaboonviper35 says 7m AND 6m crank are forged I and Tonuch say ONLY 7m crank (89+ crank) is forged. Were all drunk and im pissed cause i know im right...well id like to think :evil2: we all searched but can't focus lol

I know a few of you have them. I'm interested in: 1. has anyone dyno tested one 2. hows it feel compared to others if you've had any 3. any vids of it? 4. How's it sound over stock or other upgraded trims or even other turbos you've heard.? Thanks.
