    $2200 for BHG

    I should probably have mentioned this includes resurfacing the head, new valve seals, a lot of cooling hoses, plugs fluids, and a 12 month warrentee. I paged back through the records of the car, and found that the head was rebuilt at 80,000 miles for $2100. So, I don't feel too bad now...

    turbo coolant hose and loss of spark?

    Cruising to work and "BAM" the car shudders then suddenly loses power and barely runs. Fortunately I was just exiting the freeway, so I was able to limp it into a gas station. Huge billowing white steam, but I had no idea where it was coming from. It looked like it was coming out of the coil...

    Weird shuddering...

    Around town and at lower speeds the car is very normal, but when I;m going 70-80 down this long hill on the freeway, when I hit the brakes to slow down, the car goes into a heavy shuddering and shaking that is kinda scary. I took it to a brake guy and he told me everything looks OK, but I don't...

    Major coolant leak...but from where??

    What is the heck is a hose back there for? I see it and it's split, but I am wondering how in the world I'm going to get to it.? It's behind the power sterring fluid reservoir, right above the rad hose going into the block. I really am beginning to wonder how in the world I'm going to get it...

    Major coolant leak...but from where??

    Is there some hose or something behind the thermostat housing, or right below it? I took off hard the other day, only to hear a big gooosh, and see a big white mist behind the car as a bunch of water/coolant exited the vehicle in a hurry. I pulled her over and had her towed home. I took off the...

    Heater valve

    A new one of these suckas cost me $200! Dang! I coulda bought one for $35 on ebay, but it was an 87. So I didn't feel like placing my cars health on a 20 year old plastic part. The thing broke right before I left on a 90 mile jaunt, fortunately right next to a gas station, I had enough stub...

    2jz 300 sc turbo

    Is this considered a dirty word? A guy at work just inherited a 96 300SC that has a 2jz. I smoked him in my 91 stocker, but am wondering if people put turbo kits on these cars much. Here in California, I can't do much at all with my 7M, but thought maybe I could turbo up a 300SC Is this a...
