i just checked the TSRM again and it told me which side to face up...the "jiggle valve has to be up, by the way, what does it do? the jiggle valve seems to have made a slight marred dot on the thermostat pipe on the engine side, so im guessing that it was installed upside down and i'm...

well mine was really dirty so i wanted to clean it, and i did all that and it's back on, but now i'm having issues with the thermostat... - I forgot which way is up, the actual mechanisim is off-center and i would think there is a reason for that, i know which way it should point but not how...

yeah this one's a no-brainer....i found the plug as i mentioned but it was in parenthasis so i guess went un-noticed. I drained it already successfully but i want to empty the damn reserve tank and it won't slide up and out.... is it supposed to? judging by its design i'd say yes but its...

I'm going to change my coolant and thermostat...and i was reading the TSRM on this and it mentions the engine drain plug, i was wondering if i need to uplug it, because it also mentions putting sealant on when you re-install it and if i can do just a good of a job w/out messing with the engine...

how much pressure should the cooling system have??? I.E. when you squeeze the main upper radiator hose, how firm is it if everything is ok?? how firm under a BHG??

lol... are the stickers shiny or something?

????? in response to the previous minute's post, i can't do that because the turbo didn't exist yet....:3d_frown: but yeah, the plate thing might work. if anything i can say i was working on my car and accidentally switched plates.... and then if the issue of why i only have insureance for...

woah...i want to see more info on those cars now... does anyone have a pic of a supra with a soarer front end of vice-versa?? i think that would be interesting to see..... how cost effective is it to buy an imported car? What makes that illegal in the US? emissions?

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but.... did you notice that the left side has different wheels than the right? maybe the car comes with both sets? :biglaugh:

haha...good idea but no...i'd have to keep switching insurance. I canNOT afford both. but i AM looking for another, but i would not drive both regulerly... and i would only buy an mgte in good condition...i want to find one with a great body, or at least one without rust or dents or broken...

how much lighter? I'm assuming there is no US counterpart?

.....well i said it in such a way that even i would have figured that probably if i had been the reader...and i can understand. thanks. I'm actually hoping I can keep it in good enough condition to keep it with no intention of selling...it's already older than me so why not keep it until it's...

does it share parts/chassis with any other car? I've heard of them but only on Gran Turismo...lol I like it!

yeah i went out and turned the little red knobs on the motors to see what they did... interesting. I bet that the lights would make the MPG go down a little but not much... a good way to get an idea of the drag it would create would be to cut something, cardboard for example, to the general...

I apologise if anyone felt i was waisting their time...i tend to get a bit ahead of myself sometimes. I have no intention of getting rid of my supra for a long time, the engine would be more likely to change but i just see all the swaps happening and get anxious, along with the tapping and...

well i dont feel like shelling big bucks to fix my engine...but i would LOVE to know whats wrong so i can plan for my future transportation...weather that be a new car/truck, a new supra TURBO, a new turbo engine, fix what i have, or go NA>T if that somehow magically becomes practical and my...

nice idea...you could do that or work on a mod that would keep the popups but they would only open enough to expose those very lights...that would look nice. I've seen it done i believe. It would be kinda like sleepy-eye but a bit higher so it wouldn't be a full blown dated square light and it...

alright...thanks guys.... i'll try and catch the sound on a start where it's really prominant.... hopefully i'll get lucky....one day it got pretty loud but hasnt since...i dunno. i'm just going to work on a tune up and get everything that is servicable serviced and go from there. right now...

Hey I'm sorry to hear about the loss.... best wishes and good luck getting a car just as nice to replace it...i'm sure he deserves it... I worry about my car sometimes...but our school parking lot is seperated by a gym and somehow almost ALL of the crazy stoners/drunks/idiots happen to park on...

popups WILL grow on you.. as will the car... i wasn't sure about weather i like them up or down because i felt they both looked a bit odd but looking at her today i realised that my car looks great both ways, and it's unique compared to other cars.... i get comments on the "eyes" on my car...
