    Car for the wife, Part Deux :D

    Actually I think the RSX is pretty quick. A friend had just got one and he was impressed by the performance. This is coming from a car junky that had a BMW 325 (which was replace by the RSX) and still owns 2005 SSR, a 2006 corvette and a 2003 911. The girl next door had a black 2001 Civic Si...

    Car for the wife, Part Deux :D

    A friend (actually his wife) has a 240SX. He hates it. Doesn't get good milage, no power. But then he likes civics. Another friend has a built 240SX, he loves it. But its really built and turbo'd.

    Car for the wife... Miata vs Z3.

    I've driven my sister-in-law's S2000. Its a real light car. It doesn't get very good gas milage though (about 24mpg). But it really handles. Its real fun to drive because you have to really wind the motor up. The motors almost like a motorcycle engine. You can't think about doing anything...

    Took my Supra Road Racing

    Not bad for a mostly stock MkIII. A friend at work was out at Willow Springs last year with his Z club. They ran the road course. But they had a pro in the car with them and only one car on the track. He said it was a blast..........

    headlight problem?

    OK I'm at home now. The TSRM shows a separate wire for up and a separate wire for down that branches out to each motor out of the integration relay. So it is not possible for the lights to be out of sequence unless one of the motors are wired wrong after the wire splits to each motor, or if...

    headlight problem?

    Without checking the TSRM (I'm not at home and I can't find it stick on SM), I'd say that the up and down sequence between the left and right sides are off. So like CRE said, I'd try turning off the lights and manually cranking down the lights. Since the lights work, the relay is working.

    Pics of Spearco IC??

    You can't really see the intercooler on my '87. I took several shots of my front end with the Spearco intercooler install. Its not like an EVO where the IC is right up to the air intake grill. The Supra IC sits behind the bumper where its usually dark. And the license plate blocks the middle...

    Cali smog ?

    Oh......I forgot to mention, if you have an item with an EO, print a copy of it from the website and keep it in the glove box. A smog inspector will want to see it.

    Cali smog ?

    Nothings exempt from California smog. All aftermarket parts that are not stated as OEM must have an Executive Order (EO) to be smog legal. But chances are, if you have an aftermarket intercooler, you the guy won't notice or make a big deal about it unless he's an A.....H....... Most major brand...

    Custom photo editing programs...

    I use several. My primary editing program is Photoshop Elements III. I use Microsoft Picture-It to print. It has the best printing templates. I also have Photoshop Elements II, Photoshop 6 and Picasa. I don't like Picasa. Its very limited. Although it is easy to use once you learn how it...

    Gas mileage with LexAFM and 550's

    28...........The only time I got 28 was when I went to the mountains. (The Supra seems to get better milage running hard up the mountains and coasting down than on flat cruising).

    Coolant overflow?

    If you ask the Toyota technical experts, and I did, they don't know of any HG problems. Toyota has kept this under wraps real good, even within. Probably trying to avoid an expensive recall. Which it looks like they did.

    Clutch Fluid Low Help On This

    I've had to replace both my slave and master clutch cylinder. When the master leaked, it did so at the pedal shaft and I got oil inside of the car in the foot well. When the slave leaked, you couldn't tell other than it didn't hold pressure and used a lot of fluid. It might have been wet...

    My '87 NA started life as a second car (when it was new). Then in mid life it bacame a daily driver until the leaking HG because too much. Then on the rebuild, it went to a turbo and a daily driver for a few years until CA smog problems. Now its just sitting waiting for another rebuild. I'd...
