Hey, what an insightful post!

Worst advice for a Supra owner :) I don't mind paying a little more to enjoy my Supra. I have my Camry for daily driving/long hauls. It gets 27 in city and 31 on the highway, and that's just fine with me.

That's no excuse; everyone's busy. If you commit to a transaction you need to follow through promptly.

The rational is because aftermarket HIDs are illegal to retrofit to cars that did not come with them for the factory. They blind the crap out of people because they are very difficult to do correctly, but selfish people insist on doing it anyways. I never said that HIDs were inherently bad...

This is part of the reason that HID's shouldn't be retrofitted on cars that didn't come with them...

Good information, thank you. I wonder if I did the math backwards. I divided 273 by 243, but maybe I should have done it the other way around. That's still like 10.xxx difference, though. Maybe my speedometer was already off slightly? And all these factors combined means I need to get this...

I have my gear from the automatic in my garage, can anyone confirm if it is the same or not for an R154?

Won't it just be easier to swap in my 3.73 gear from my auto? I mean, supposing that's feasible.

It's not worth it when it'll cost twice the price of the ticket in gas to drive up to fight it, plus the lost time at work. Just did some math, I stopped at exit 93 in North Carolina to gas up and stopped again in Ohio at exit 6. My odometer indicated 243.4 miles, while I actually travelled...

I converted to a 5-speed a couple months ago and thought my drop in gas mileage was due to the different gearing and the fact that I've been enjoying rowing through the gears. Last night I left Charlotte to head to Ohio for vacation. In Charleston, WV I got pulled over and was very confused...

Hard to say. What exactly is it doing? If you're losing power on the high end I'd recommend replacing your plugs with Autolite coppers. They were $8 for 6 the last time I bought them and cleared up my high-end miss.

It's usually a circuit breaker on the windows, but seriously, pull the driver's and passenger's side switches apart and clean the contacts. It's 99% likely that that's your problem. The other scenario is that there are wires in the boots breaking in the door pivots. I've not heard of too...

What kind of oil are you using? Spark plugs? Is your radiator clogged?

Sorry, you might outrun the Crown Vic but it's pretty damned hard to outrun the Motorola.

No one is quite the exaggeration, considering there are nearly 1,000 posts and 37,000 views.

I'll bet the state owns that Supra now, since the man used it in his burglary.

I think you are correct. Cars that don't reach operating temperature generally aren't as efficient as they should be. That's why you have a thermostat to help your car reach operating temperature more quickly.

Read up on fluid dynamics. Toyota did a lot of expensive research to make sure that air going into the front of the car is directed through the radiator, but when you change things around (remove stock fan or shroud, change the front bumper, remove the engine undercover) you negate that...

Bah! Why wasn't that thread in the FAQ section? I knew I wasn't the first to do this, I just wanted the information to be more easily accessible.

Please don't put "MKIII" or "mark three" or anything like that on it. Personally, I think it's tacky.
