    Steering slippage. Scary problem.

    My 89 turbo has many small issues. It's a tank full of fun. :) The main problem now is that the steering has slop/play in it. There is a small amount of freeplay, but nothing that worries me. The problem is that the steering wheel can turn under force, WITHOUT turning the wheels of the car...

    Turbo Revival __________ (Pic filled)

    A friend and I picked up an 89 turbo for a summer project. Car has been sitting for 2 years. Our plan is to bring it back to healthy life by the end of the summer. It had a dead battery and even with a jump it would not start. We found a CPS wire had been broken/snapped. We spliced the wire...

    How to tow a Supra with Dakota...

    So after reviewing the existing threads on towing, I am utterly confused. I will be picking up a non-running turbo 89 :) and I need to tow it about 40 miles. I have a 98 Dodge Dakota with a 5.0 Magnum V8. Plenty of power and torque. But UHAUL says it doesn't weigh enough to tow it. :( Now...

    Helicoil error found (PICS ADDED)

    I recently looked at the bit, tap and studs used for my helicoil attempt again and I see a problem. You must use the same thread on the tap and the bolt you plan on using. This seems like common sense, but I was fucking stupid. THE TAP IN THE KIT WAS A 13 NC AND THE BOLTS WERE 14!!! Now...

    The Office (NBC)

    Fucking genius. Took me a few episodes to warm up to it, but it's awesome. Last episode nearly had me crying in laughter a handful of times. The intro with the phone prank was awesome. Discuss thoughts on show.

    If I could kill someone...

    It'd have to be the waste of life that raped my g/f's best friend last night. This is one of the few situations I've run across that have left me completely speechless. What kills me is the asshole will probably not get any sort of punishment.

    Wikipedia credibility?

    So I just realized when I need info on just about anything at all, the first place I look is wikipedia. In school they always tell us that wiki is a horrible place to look for facts as some of it can be edited by users. Now I'm fully aware of the editing and such, but I would venture a guess...
