    how do you supra guys feel about UNIVERSAL 5 lug rims over normal 5 lugs???

    Most of the time you're more than likely to break the lug studs before you'll break the center section of the wheel...

    I bought another Geo Metro

    I had plenty of fun in my mom's geo metro down at the Austin Hill Country Cruise :D Keeping up with Supras in the twisties and hitting 100MPH down a huge hill :rofl: The issue with the DRL's is that the wiring was never meant to handle them being on all the time. The grounds for the low...

    I bought another Geo Metro

    No A/C? Get the extra mirror, oh, and DISABLE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. It's a rigged system that puts a lot of load on a single pin in the fuse box. It can melt down causing a fire. Headlight rewire with relays removed the load on the pin, but the pin still has load from the stupid DRL...

    Another Ebay Item 3" Exhaust??

    For the price, it's probably a knock off of something else, and quality is going to be an issue (fitment, muffler actually doing anything, and especially the materials and welding).

    rear windshield washer not working?

    The res. is low. The pickup for the rear sprayer is higher than the front sprayer so if the back stops working you'll be out of fluid soon.

    How to replace rear struts...

    Yeah, if you have upgraded swaybars, that trick of pressing the hub down doesn't work ;)

    anybody done a ford 5.0 swap?

    Probably spend more time/money getting it to 100% work and be clean than selling the 5.0 motor and getting a motor that bolts in... I don't see why it wouldn't fit though to answer your question.

    how do you supra guys feel about UNIVERSAL 5 lug rims over normal 5 lugs???

    ONLY because they're 10 spoke wheels. Another example of stuff like this is the lightening holes aroudn the rim like on Duane's wheels. So people like em, some people don't.

    How to replace rear struts...

    Only thing not covered is that the bottom mount has a slide that has to be pushed back out to reinstall. I read about people grinding it all the time :3d_frown:

    So I wound up on the operating table today

    Another lesson learned, if you have any infection and get antibiotics, if they don't start effecting the infection within 24 hours it's time to call the doc again. Glad you're OK though, hope your recovery isn't too bad as that seems like one hell of a place to have a chunk missing out of you...

    ARP head bolt tool????

    Toyota has specific torque specs. That torque range spec drives me nuts (damn Miata is like that)

    how do you supra guys feel about UNIVERSAL 5 lug rims over normal 5 lugs???

    Lots of hateraide drinkers in this thread... At least it's not the 4 and 5 lug universals (now THOSE are ugly). It's about symmetry. On my wheels it looks fine since they're 10 spoke, they look goofy on others. Have a look at the back of a wheel before you say that. Hint: it's usually...

    Yep, as alreayd mentioned that's exactly how the Gtech's work. They're also quite accurate from what I've heard...
