:withstupi Listen to Jdub. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to oil. I guarantee you that he's forgotten more about motor oils than you or I will probably ever learn.

That is true, however, there is a speed sensor inside the speedometer which transmits a signal back to the TCCS so that it knows the vehicle's speed. Check out #6 in the TEWD. If you can find out what wire feeds the vehicle's speed back to the TCCS, you should be able to tap into that wire for...

As an insurance agent, the only thing I'll say about that is this: when you insure your car for full coverage, the insurance company is insuring your vehicle exactly the way is was when it came from the factory. Any "upgrades" you do to your car are meaningless to them, as your car never came...

I'm watching this thread, as I'm almost having the same problem as you after my GE to GTE swap. With my car, if I put it in drive (D), it takes off in 2nd, shifts to 3rd; then never shifts into overdrive after that. I can shift it through the gears manually, 1->2->D; but it will never shift...

Not a fast learner, are ya. ;)

Make her pay for the things she broke, then make her walk. It's obvious she has no respect for you, and things will only get worse in the future.

I've got mine put up for the winter, and I'm fixing a few things that need attention while it's put up; so I voted for "building mine". That said, I could go out there now, start it and drive it away.

That's the best deal you're going to find for a RHD Supra. Even converting a LHD to a RHD would cost WAY more than that car. To be honest, if buying that (low priced) RHD shell is not in your budget; then you may as well forget about a RHD Supra.

LOL, you're right, but my explanation under that quote still holds true. :) It's not about who's at fault, or how the accident happened. It's all about RISK, and how the modifications done to a vehicle affects that RISK. Let's say you get rear ended in your stock Supra. The insurance...

^^^ Lol, my mistake, and corrected. :) Sorry, ZoomZoomZoom. :(

Absolutely correct. The insurance company needs only one piece of information to properly rate your vehicle for your policy, and that's your car's VIN number. That VIN number tells the company everything they need to know about your car, as that was the number issued to it by the factory...

Whenever a car is considered a complete loss, the insurance company can turn around and sell what's left of the car to try to recoup their losses. In most cases, they'll give the owner of the car first dibs to purchase the car back from them. (Usually you can get the car back for just a...

Lol, I know that was meant as a joke, but as an insurance agent I'm only going to say this for those who modify their vehicles: (That's practically all of us, right)? ;) *Most insurance companies have a clause either in your insurance policy, or the very contract (application) you signed that...

I'm also a fan of CB's while driving on the interstate. (Talking on the CB helps keep you awake on long drives, and a CB + truckers are the best radar detector I've ever seen). ;) I can't stand a "normal" CB which is usually mounted in plain site either on or under the dash; so my preference...

If your LED prices were cheaper than the prices I'd pay at SuperbrightLEDs.com, then I'd be interested. If not.......well, you know.

^^^ Thanks for your input, and given the fact that I do most of my driving in the summer; it looks like I'll be sticking with GC. :)

I need you opinion jdub. ;) I recently found out that my dad can get AMSOIL oil on his shop's discount, but even with his discount I'd still be paying $7.50 per quart. In my area, the GC runs me $6.80 per quart. Judging by the "Your favorite motor oil" thread, you touched base on the AMSOIL...

Like I said earlier in this thread, keep some money on hand to fix things here and there as they come up. The starter is a prime example, and I'm sure you'll find something else shortly that will also need attention. I'd focus on the general maintenance first.

Make sure your budget allows for the maintenance that you WILL be performing on this car at one point or another. I know you want to clean it up and get it looking nice; but keep in mind that it's a 21 year old car, and it WILL have things that will need fixed or replaced. Make sure you have...

:nono: Unbelievable! I've heard of cheap MKIII owners, but MKIII owners who are so lazy that they'd rather hack up their car rather than take the time to fix their car correctly? :3d_frown:
