my last muscle car before I turned to the dark side, Supras

The current Toyota President watches too many American aircraft shows, that looks like the current celica with Stealth applied.

Bought my first car when I was 14, a 63 rambler station wagon, for 85.00, it needed a starter, after three bad ones I got her running perfectly as a camp vehicle for the next two years. I couldnt drive it, my Mom allowed some older friends to drive it on our explorartions all over socal camping...

I am going to repaint my wing and want to know if anyone has any experience with using Spray Paint (can) to closely match the stock color of an 89 White Supra, or at least something close. A Brand and Color would be ideal info. Thanks Rick

I removed the rear hatch brake light assembly, the rear wiper motor assembly, and the rear hatch window defroster assembly. Now I get the dash light indicating a failed bulb at the rear. How have you that have done this defeated it? Also in the rear hatch defrosted assembly it looks like they...

Swag, thats great info, I'll do that in the future I needed the foglight rewire writeup. Thank You ^5

I just realized why so many folks don't use the search feature. Ya get one try (don't mispell anything) then you have to wait 60 seconds to try another search. OK so lemme get this straight why would anyone design their search engine to work like that? fearful of something? Thanks Rick

Does anyone make and sell Polyurethane Boots for Supras? Or has any found a set of Poly's that fit another car but will also fit Supras? When I do replace mine I would prefer Poly since its lasts like forever even when exposed to tranny fluid.

This isn’t a fix for the cause but, if you can get to the lobes that are shown in the pics. Get yourself some Acetone (Highly Flammable) and some Wood bleach (local Hardware store). Clean the lobes off where the rust is using acetone and white paper towels, keep using a new one until when you...

Madhatter has it right sand on thin sheet metal will easily warp it from the heat caused by the sand impacting the metal. The last car I restored was baking soda blasted. It worked great Except years after I was done it would rain and there would be small piles of media piled up where it had...

The coolest thing about an MSD ignition, the ones the little rev limiter plug ins is when you take your car to get it worked on you can throw in one for 4k rpm max and the mechanics can't burn your car up. One thing I've found over the years with a nice high performance car is they want to drive...

On the H3's I emailed a bunch of light bulb companies last monday to ask that very question and so far most have answered back saying no. So I did what some on here did go to Michaels the arts & crafts stores and bought Krylon Stained Glass Color 9024 Yellow. I painted my fogs with it and I am...

Here in CA I looked at traderpubs.com which is worldwide and saw very few MkIII's for sale in all of CA. The ones that were for sale were from 4k and up to 10k, so it seems the market on our old rides might be starting to take off finally. So remember those N/A's might be worth 50k someday when...

Holy Smokes there's allot of light laws. Here's a link to everything you ever wanted to know about lights and the CA DMV. I didnt see anything on color rules, just height, beam path, candlepower, etc.. I've had yellow fog light on every car I've owned over the last 30 years and never have I been...

I had this same question years ago so I stopped at the Checkpoint here near Camp Pendelton to ask the CHP what the laws said. They showed me that in CA the law at that time was no more than 6 lights visable from the front, that meant two marker/turn lights, two headlights, and two amber fog or...

Becauseican, damn that looks nice having no trim down the sides

When I stripped mine I found that when Toyota masked the wheel face for sand blasting of the slots they did a crappy job so I had these random sand blasted areas on the wheel face. When they come from the factory you don't see that due to the wheel face be painted. Maybe those areas that look...

I think you'll see that all the respectable shops are now using High Quality Torque Wrenchs due to the accidents caused in the past by using the well known, Ya I am long time master mechanic know it all and, ya that feels just about right technique. Torque Specs always have a reason. As soon as...
