    coolant leak

    WOAH ok i should have read that before my last post. whoops. ok... so you have coolant filling the overflow when the engine heats up? i think it'ss normal to see a little extra coolant in there when the engine is hot, its not normal for it to reach the top and squirt out the overflow tube...

    coolant leak

    maybe it had an air bubble? taking the thermostat completely out could reveal if its the problem. i dont know if there are risks to that though... having a cold engine too long isnt a good thing...i dont think. (thats why there is a thermostat.)

    BBS 15in wheels?? not sure how that would look...

    BBS 15in wheels?? not sure how that would look...

    thanks. i will pass this thing up. i just wanted to see if maybe....just maybe...lol that photoshop showed me. i was thinking of low-profile tires, but considering i have 16's and the 15s would be even SMALLER than the photochop....that would look pretty...wrong the ebay idea is great...

    BBS 15in wheels?? not sure how that would look...

    dont know, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm if that helps at all. they're BBS RX 224's...but that doesnt tell you anything about offset either. and as for the tire height, i wouldnt use thicker tires than i already have... eh. i'll take your word for it though. bad idea. thanks guys

    Water Leak WTF!

    Well, from my minor experiance, i had a leak on the heater core supply line that clamps onto the firewall on the driver's side, i forgot to clamp it on, and under pressure it squirted about half a cup out every time i drove the car... once i fixed it i still had drips, and then it stopped. my...

    BBS 15in wheels?? not sure how that would look...

    i figured without any lowering it would look horrible... but i just HAD to ask. i dont know if that is a great deal but it seemed like it. too bad i dont really have the money to lower my car... how much does it usually cost to lower a car properly? $1k? $1.5k? 2? hopefully someone will...

    BBS 15in wheels?? not sure how that would look...

    would 15in rims be impossibly small and just a bad idea for a supra? (mk3) there's a guy locally letting a set of 4 go for 200 bucks...to mee that seems like a great deal, but 15in seems pushing it, especially without lowering the car, but i figured i'd check and see if anyone has a picture of...

    coolant leak

    my car overheated randomly, my guess was the air in the system caused by the exaust getting into the system. then the air prevented cooler water from flowing. dont get rid of it. you'll figure it out. so the mechanic checked and did NOT find signs of a BHG? that's good. you do have...

    I'm applying to UC's.......

    i'm applying to stanford; i decided after i heard caltech was more difficult. lol. plus they mention how they dont just base acception on grades, and by their class profile, i seem to fit decently into their stats... i'm not way up there, and i know meeting some common averages wont mean i'll...

    Which spark plug wires are good?

    i realised the length thing would be fine...we just didnt understand, nobody got bunched up. I, for one, imagined a set coming with 8 pre-made wires with one end finished - you cut them, crimp up ONE end and you're done. apparently there are some sets that have enough extra tips (beyond 8 for...

    I'm applying to UC's.......

    wow, i never knew that it was harder than stanford. I have two teachers that went to stanford and it seems pretty hard to get in there. its depressing when you want to achive something but because you arent as smart as someone else, you cant. oh well. i might apply there. one college i...

    I'm applying to UC's.......

    Well i applied to UCLA and i am seriously thinking about applying to caltech! stanford is on the list as well but it would probably be very difficult, i would be getting in mostly on my personal things than my grades. my grades are good and on the high side but nothing like valedictorian or...

    Major headbolt issue

    could you remove the head and get a really good vicegrip on the thing? youd have to lift the head off really carefully but it would be kinda like handling a stud.... if it broke enough to allow the head to get over... if not then i'm at a loss. if so you might have to unbolt the engine and...

    dizzy oil seal

    yeah its easy. one bolt and it'll slide out. the metals are machined with tight tolderances so its kinda difficult to stick it back in but once you do its easy... if you have ever played a brass instrument...its like putting a tuning slide back on...kinda fights. put some oil on the seal...

    Found out why my engine blew, you wont believe this

    man that sucks. hope it gets fixed soon. there's always a posibility that one of your lifter pucks popped out and is rattling around in there.... did it run like shit when the "valve fell out" because maybe its not a fallen valve.... a constantly open valve, IMO, would seriously mess with...
