I'll give a penny to anyone who has legitimately owned more cars than me. (if you owned a car lot thats not the same and doesnt count). the shortest time I owned any of these vehicles was 2 weeks, and the longest was 10 years. I tended to own them in groups of 2-4, with the most being right...

DO NOT buy an HP DLP HDTV! I work as an onsite service tech for a major contractor who services all manner and brands of consumer electronics. One of the products I have seen a rash of lately is these big screen HP TV's and let me tell you, they are junk! In the last week I have worked on...

So I went ahead and forked out the 25 bucks for ANOTHER compression tester (my good one is in NM) and tested the comp. on my new 89. All cylinders over 220lbs highest being 230lbs. Looked in the book and it says standard compression is 156! sooooooooo...what am I missing here? Did someone...

I normally dont dis others and their supras...its just not really my style, but I saw this on CL today and all I could think was... Yuck! Ok I read the whole thing this time, and now Im not so convinced that its overly priced...but if it were mine to sell, I would at least throw on a macco...

Ok ya know I just bought the "Lady in White" 89 NA 5spd. Had a bad 90degree hose, replaced that. 2 minutes later the water pump siezed, replaced that. Car idles smooth but anything off idle sucks. Shut car off...boils over, replaced radiator cap...no more boil over. OK so thats where Im at at...

Sorry guys, I really hoped to have better information for you today. I wanted to post this because I figured everyone was starting to wonder, and I wanted to assure everyone, we are working very hard to get this product ready to go. The situation is I went down to my fab guys shop yesterday...

Just bought another one today. Now I have a Superwhite 85.5 NA Targa 5spd, and a Pearl white 88Turbo hardtop 5spd, and my latest edition is a Superwhite 89 NA Hardtop 5spd. Picked this up today for $600 from an impound. Its really in decent shape and definately saveable. I got it home, threw...

A couple of nights ago I'm coming back from the video store in downtown Corvallis, headed south on 4th toward hwy20 (for those of you familiar with Corvallis since I know some of you are.) This guy in a slightly lifted 4.0L cherokee is sitting to the right of me at the light, when the light...

Wierd, I thought I posted this last night, now it seems to be gone. Mods, if you removed it can you please tell me why? If not, I must be losing my mind. Anyway, here is a little vid I made over the weekend of one of my favorite roads on Oregon. Its the road up Mary's Peak (the highest point...

I moved this to a thread of its own....lol! Try to visualize one of those cheesy "new invention" commercials with low paid overactors making themselves look completely clueless....... Wide shot of greasy looking Supra Owner opening his hood, and looking under to see if his car has...

...on my gauges. I very carefully scraped off the yellow/orange paint on the bottom side of each needle and then repainted it with transparent blue (I used model paint). They look awesome against the white backgrounds BUT...I now cant see them at night...lol. I figured that they would still...

Jeff Lange posted some information some time ago about his experience with calibrating a speedometer. Ive looked for the last 30 minutes and still cant find it. Does anyone happen to have a quick link to it, or know what the name of the thread was? Sorry for such a stupi request, but I got my...

...just picked it up today. Front and back plates are 1/4 inch steel and the bars are 1'' tube. Im gonna have the guy make a second generation of it with a couple changes, but all in all Im happy with it. I had this made because my Targa shimmy was particularly bad. I dont know if I got a...

Ok did the usual search and found some info in another post but not quite the same question so if anyone can point me to a post that covers this or post here for my reference. I have an 86.5 NA/5spd that has a solid bottom end. I also have an 89 Turbo/auto with a rod knock. Im considering...

I built a custom front lip for my 86.5 N/A. The covering is made from vinyl baseboard moulding. It has a semi-rigid support structure behind it, that I can bend back into place if I ever knock it out of shape. The lip looks great, but I also lowered my car 2 inches, and now the new lip, which...

Total cost for this project was 13 bucks! 1 can of plastic paint, 1 roll of masking tape, and 1 roll of shelf paper. If anyone REALLY wants to know how to do this...I'll do a write up. I took pics as I went to document it just in case. Basically you have to take your tail lights apart...
