just saw a few pictures of TSRMs for sale in the parts section and they look like one big book (90-92). these are similar to my gf's repair manual for her 87 mr2. i was of the opinion that i had a TSRM but I've got four separate books, one for body/elec/specs, one for the engine, one for the...

in the middle of rebuilding my GE and i've run into a few questions. 1. using standard bearings, the manual says to match bearing numbers to the numbers on the crank and the block. am i able to order specifically numbered bearings to make a full set, or do i just order a full set of bearings...

hey guys, in the middle of disassembly and i take out my oil pump driveshaft to find this: i can feel the ridges with my finger so it looks to be pretty deep. is there any way i can smooth this with emory cloth or fine sandpaper and keep it, or is there a way to replace it? thanks!

Hey all, rebuilding my GE and I've read in Adjuster's 7M assembly tips thread to use Permatex's 'The Right Stuff' gasket maker http://permatex.com/products/Automotive/automotive_gasketing/gasket_makers/auto_Permatex_the_Right_Stuff_Gasket_Maker.htm . I went out and bought a can ($14 for a 4 oz...

i think it's finally BHG time. here lately i've been losing coolant quickly and smelling it burning whenever i turn the car off and get out. today i went to test compression and see if i could find a blown cylinder. after warming up the car i noticed a large puddle of coolant underneath and...

hey all, searched and couldn't find a complete answer to what i was looking for. is there any drastic way to increase gas mileage (beyond cleaning the fuel system/driving it easier) like shutting down a few cylinders while cruising or even switching fuels? how hard is it to switch to...

I've got fresh german castrol in my crankcase and my oil leak has chosen to get a bit faster. Am I able to put oil dye in my engine and use it to detect my leak, then leave it in for the next 5k-8k miles til the oil change or is this something I should get out immediately after it has served...

my hatch had been previously tinted and then had the tint removed, leaving behind a hazy, gummy adhesive and a small strip of tint still stuck to the window. i've been spraying and scrubbing stoner invisible glass cleaner and it's gradually been taking the adhesive off, but takes forever (even...

the rust in my spare tire well came back after three years of being covered up by bondo. i should've paid closer attention to what i was getting into, but i was sixteen at the time and it was the first project on my car. so, i've got a bunch of holes being eaten through the well. what are...

I've seen several threads for the R154 and the proper gear oil, and from what I gather it'd be best to use Redline MT90 gear oil. However, haven't come across any posts asking if this is also the proper oil to use in the W58 gearbox. In the past six months, I've noticed my trans is getting a...

tentatively planning on eibach springs and koni dampers, but are the konis really worth roughly double the tokico hp's? i know they're adjustable on-car, and i can imagine that's worth the money, but are they better performance-wise? thanks, chris

hey all, that old power wagon i've got might need tires soon but i have a problem. i can't seem to find any tires with decent tread (other than the military non-directional) that are designed to be used with tubes, most of them are tubeless. the wheels are budd 6 lug split rims. i...

can someone repost that link or the actual picture of the supra on the lift that shows off the underbody and points out locations of parts? i searched, couldnt find anything.

hey guys, just started listening to a little trance and i need suggestions. post your fav artists/albums/songs please

got my fumoto valve in the mail yesterday, looks of the highest quality. can't wait to install it this week with some german castrol! i'm hoping this will cure my drip and prevent me from ever stripping the oil pan hole. original thread, thanks jetjock/jdub, i should've gotten one of these...

you always hear about those great condition NA supras that surprise the turbos, but i've never seen one/rode in one in person because there i am one of the only NA's for miles around. anyone here have an NA that pulls really strong? what have you done to it/cleaned and serviced to make it run...

this has been slowly driving me crazy over the past week. there's a song out there that sounds almost like van halen's "why can't this be love" at 12-13 sec sorry about the GHEY video, but i dont know how to upload mine off of my comp...

Hey guys, I've noticed that sometimes when i add 1/2-1 quart of oil with the engine cold and then start it up, it runs fine. a little while after (15 mins driving it, 30 mins cooldown) i'll go to start it up again and the idle hovers around 400-500 and is extremely rough. I can give it gas...
