    Pictures of my new toy

    Oh snap... Glad you told me that, today's the last time I push the car until I get that one sorted. 5 days into owning a 7M and enough stuff has broken to warrent me wanting a JZ series motor, hehe

    Yeah, that was quite some time ago and I said I'd stop being an ass, which I have, I hope.

    Ticking

    I don't think I have the right tools to check it - Is it that HUGE bolt coming from the crank? (Yes, I know I'm a n00b). Is that car still safe to drive, or should I leave it sitting until I can invest in a decent enough tool kit.

    Thanks for that Kai. I thought it was the Crank pulley bolt, I just don't have the right tools to tighten it up :( Is it still safe to drive? So, does astra fender trick completely replace the rear panel? Does it look any different?

    Pictures of my new toy

    Well, after seeing rust that bad, I had to rush down stairs and check my car out, again. I've pulled the trunk carpet back and everything looked in A1 shape, apart from something I noticed. The center part of the trunk, where you put the spare wheel is covered in a metal with a rough pattern...

    But will the bubbling come back again like the body guy said? I don't exactly want to have to be fibreglassing the arch constantly, if so I'll use this car just as a beater and buy a car with a better body. And the rust is only on one side, BTW. I've been given a quote of £200 $400 ish? To...

    Pictures of my new toy

    Hey there. I picked up my new 88 NA auto supra on Tuesday and now that some of the excitement has worn off, I'm looking to take some criticism. The car has got 86,276 miles on the clock last time I checked, has had a recent headgasket change, alternator, battery and general service by...

    Looking back in to the past when you were in High School...

    I don't hate rap, just the shite they listened to, which isn't really rap in my humble opinion.

    Looking back in to the past when you were in High School...

    Nerd turned Cool guy turned Nerd again. The "cool" people were complete asses, taking the piss out of anything and everyone including me, so I cut em all off and went back to my old, slightly geeker friends. I found it a lot more enjoyable talking about the latest games than a shitty new rap CD...

    boiling water sound

    I had the same problem (it's a new car, and I near said myself because I thought it was a BHG (and a slow running oil leak I've got didn't ease my mind.) I Checked my water levels and it was near empty. Topped off the water and I haven't heard the "boiling water" sound yet.

    Auto to Manual

    Awesome, thanks. I know I really should start with a manual car, but I'm getting too much of a great deal to let a silly auto transmission get in the way.

    Auto to Manual

    Is it any easier going with the W58 swap for now I plan to go 2JZ in about a year, so getting a R154 in the car now would save money in the long run, but if it's easier, then I'll get the W58

    Auto to Manual

    I know this question has been done a million times, but every thread I've come across converts a Turbo car to manual while I'd be converting an NA car. Is it possible to use the R154 into a NA car? and will I need any extra parts on top of the usual stuff required to do a Auto to Manual...

    test drove my first stock mk3!

    Maybe it's got something to do with supras are dealerships? There was a 92 black NA auto parked outside a the local mechanic's place. It looked in good shape and I hadn't even been in a supra before this, so I say what the hell and have a look. The bodywork was really nice, apart from the rust...
