    lol, you must have been grounded perfectly(lucky you). I've got bit a few times, it doesn't tickle... Oh yeah, and change your wires.

    bad auto or what

    Rebuild. Take it to a competent trans. shop. It's possible its just the converter, but the clutches inside the trans. are probably fried as well.

    Need major help!!!

    Front. They should be by the solenoids under the intake. Should come off of the same harness as the injector plugs. Should be three brown(?) wires, and bolt to the intake in the same area as the bolts that hold the upper intake to the lower intake.

    Some BHG questions. I know, I know. Easy to answer questions though.

    Wow, wonder what happened to that gasket to deform it so badly on 4 cylinders. Almost looks like a defect, or something was dropped on it before it was installed. TF: Make sure you wash all the rust and crap out of that block before you reassemble. Might clean the inside of the intake and...

    F*ck my HOA

    Prove that it's daily driven, that it's a "work of art" in progress, and bitch/cry/whine about how they are censoring your "artistic talent." Show them how "politically incorrect" they are. Most of those flakes can't live with the thought of being politically incorrect. By the way, wash...

    Is my Crank Pulley/Harmonic Balancer bad?

    Timing belt adjustment, or maybe a loose tensioner. The belt is rubber, and will eventually stretch. CW is the correct way to turn the motor. CCW is backwards.

    Test pipes

    I'll bet that upon inspection, if the vehicle does not have all the correct(what came stock) components that are supposed to be there, it will still fail. You need to be sure of the visual inspection parameters before you try removing required components.

    EGR vacuum modulator hose question.

    Ford uses a similar hose as well. If you can't get it from Toyota, you might check them.

    which piggyback to use?

    There are a couple of threads both here and on SF about tuning the Maft-Pro. Would be a good place to start with the base tuning, and there's some good info. in them on how to tune appropriately. You also might want to look here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=110 A lot...

    opinion on polished parts

    You left out the most important part of the thermostat housing. If the neck(where the hose goes on) isn't smooth, it has a possibility of leaking. At least knock the corrosion off, and clean off any surface rust. Wire wheel will be fine, no need for the high polish there. Just don't remove...

    Is my Crank Pulley/Harmonic Balancer bad?

    Timing belt tension is incorrect, or you're turning it the wrong way.

    Gun caliber?

    iwannadie: Sorry, I sometimes forget that all pistols are not equipped with a decock safety. My B.E. 9mm is double action with a decock. It leaves my hand in a natural position, and is easier to flip the switch than pull the hammer back. It has become such a natural part of shooting, that...

    Gun caliber?

    iwannadie: Not so much "quick draw", as smooth and confident. The point is to practice slowly, getting a nice, smooth action from the time you put your hand to the butt, to the time you pull the trigger. Practicing with an unloaded gun should be fine, although being loaded it balances...

    ID'd for Robitussin?

    lol, it wasn't me, but a friend. He's in his 30's, big Italian, and definitely doesn't look 18 or under. Actually, what pisses me off about the whole thing is the lack of common sense. The cashier should have at least a limited amount of brain power, correct? I mean, they can function enough...

    Ridiculous amount of oil

    You don't have to pull it all the way apart again, just pull the v.c.'s, pull the front caps, silicone them, and put it back together. 1/2 hr. tops. I'd look into the bolts in the center of the head as well.

    TEMS "fusible link problem" in MK3

    Or the tems computer is unplugged by a previous owner. http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FA&P=29 You can access it from inside the hatch. There's a little cover on the passenger side, just behind the strut tower, iirc.

    Weird brake problem

    Check the little clips that hold the pads in place. One of them might be worn or broke, letting the pad move up and down.

    Clutch engagement noise.

    Sounds like a bearing to me, too. Whatever it is, you need to pull the trans. to fix it. Check everything carefully, and look for wear(shiny spots) and grooves.

    Oil Sensor Problem

    lol. Usually, I'm the guy who has to "take care of" this stuff for others. As such, It makes my job much harder if someone who doesn't know what they're doing was in there making the problem worse. Point out the problems to the machine shop, and check it when you pick it up to make sure they...
