If you have never had your tires and wheels balanced on the car then you have no idea what true tire and wheel balancing means. If you have only driven cars that have had the wheels and tires removed from your car and balanced on a peice of crap balancer your are in for a major suprise when you...

Watching that guy with the wire wheel kinda turned me off. He was in High Speed mode and you dont get quality in that mode. Rick

Cross hatching at that kind of mileage says something about either the material the block is cast from or the oil's we are using. I too say cross hatching in all my cylinders when I had my engine resealed at 135K miles duee to oil leaks. Im wondering if the notion the JetJock has been telling us...

Thank You big time for everyones hard work pdf ing these and posting them. Rick

That green does look good, there's two colors Ive always wondered what my Supra would like painted in them. One was this kinda flourescent Lime Green my 78 Fiat 124 Sypder was painted and the other is this Powder Blue I painted my baja bug with. Rick

I don't believe the radiator would be overtaxed by the extra hear removal after all they did remove the heat from the automatic transmission. I would imagine the real issue would lie in the Inner Diameter or ID of the fittings going into and out of the radiator tranny cooler they are far to...

About the only advice I can give for any new dell or any other brand name computer is throw away your restore disk. Buy yourself a Microsoft Windows XP SP2 CD for $82.00, Fdisk the hard drive and remove the hidden partitions if there are any, reformat it as one large hard drive using NTFS, then...

Sorry to hear about your car. Watch craigslist.org too. They are city specific and it looks to me like tons of stolen stuff is sold there. Rick

I was at El Mirage years ago the day Motor Trend Magazine if I remember right ran the brand new NSX that Honda claimed to do 180 I believe and it could not surpass 168. So there's something to be said about RUMORS and bragging when it comes to top speed. That's why if you really wanna prove just...

Teflon Tape is what I prefer. Only time it's not good to use if your using some kind of micronic filter that small peices could come loose and plug it up. Most users of NPT use the tape, just remember that since there's Teflon in between the threads you DON"T tighten it till it can't tighten any...

It aint the tallest geared it's the World's Fastest Production Car. Check out the site for the Bonneville Salt Flats. I think a Supra could compete since I see the world record holder runs a 572 inch hemi which isnt stock so why couldnt a Supra with 1200hp do it...

Not a Ferrari, Not a Porsche, Not a Lamborghini, Not a Mercedes, Not a BMW, Not a Cobra. It's a Dodge Charger Daytona 237.373 that is damn fast. I wonder if there are any MK4's out there that could challenge that record someday.

Great info there. If anyone is interested I made an Excel Spreadsheet that calculates the proper tire pressure for each tire by calculation the weight on each tire. If you take the maximum weight a tire can handle at its maximum weight you can calculate the proper air pressure for each tire...

Jonathan, my wife and I send our prayers. Keep your spirits up and we pray she'll be all right. I lost my mom and dad a few years back after both were sick for a very long time. I was glad to see them finally go they suffered for so long. All we can ask when our loved ones get sick is that they...

I think if you listen to what JetJock is saying your going to learn allot. I figure since they have been using turbos and superchargers on aircraft engines for many many years. I would imagine having to have the right oil is a matter of life and death since if you have oil issues you cant just...

Son of a B that was a good one. Rick

I prefer a wing myself, but I put one off an 89 firebird on mine to me it matched it perfectly. Rick

Heres some Awesome info on Oil. I myself use Castrol 40wt in my 89 N/A year round here in Socal. and Chevron Delo 40wt in my dodge V8 van. One thing I would do is Look Very Carefully at the Supra Owners manual at the chart that shows you what Viscosity to use in what Tempratures. I have also...

One thing I forgot to mention I did the Toyota Logos in my wheel caps with gloss white. They came out perfect. I did the white after I did the main color. I used a syringe and small needle and applied the white into the indented Toyota Logo slowly and smoothly and it came out perfect. I'll get a...
