    How to??

    If that was someone like dr.jones' car, I'm positive they took into account how far they could lower the height of the lights, and still have the ability to correctly adjust the headlights, without having to modify the buckets. When I think of lazy eyes, I think of the many pics I've seen...

    Fuel Pump Location Q

    PB Blaster for the nuts and bolts. If you tear up the straps, you're doing something wrong. Besides, if they are so rusted they broke when you where taking it apart, you needed new ones anyway. As far as the stuck lines, just take the fittings apart from under the car. They're easy to access...

    How to??

    True, but do you only drive in the city? How about on the highway? I live in the country, and drive a lot of dark country roads. Having headlights that would only point 20 ft. ahead of my car would be down right dangerous, if not fatal to me or someone else. It's also a safety issue. If a...

    How to??

    Yeah, that way you can't aim your headlights properly, and light up the road the correct distance ahead of you. There's no need to see stuff on the road at night when you look cool, right?

    As of today how much did you spend on your supra and any regrets?

    Still spending..... Credit Cards aren't readily available money; they're readily available debt. At (in most cases) 19% APR. They love it when you pay the minimum, as that's really just that month's accrued interest. My philosophy: If you don't have it, you can't spend it. I refuse to sell...

    First time engine overhauler-put-back-together timing questions.

    Silicone sealant on the top of the joint where the back timing cover and block meet, and put your h.g. on top of that. If not, it'll leak oil. Don't forget the cam seals that go on the front of the cams, under the back timing cover. Torque the timing belt tensioner bolt to 36 ft. lbs...

    Fuel Pump Location Q

    Why? It only take a couple minutes to drop it. There's a drain bolt on the bottom of the tank to get the fuel out, to. It'll take longer to measure and cut the hole than drop the tank.

    this ones killing me.please help me

    ^^ There's your answer. It needs to relearn the idle without the throttle open. If it stalls, just start it again and let it idle until its warm. Usually mine resets within a minute or 2.

    Employee Claims GM/Toyota Plant Ignored Defect Reports

    lol, it was probably all on the GM side... I have a friend with an 07 Malibu, 6mo. old, already been back to the dealer for warranty stuff(radio inop, onstar inop, window problems). Her husband's 07 c1500 is going in for power steering issues, wheel bearings, and a speaker inop. It's only 6...

    NA-T few questions!

    Look at the plugs that go into the e.c.u. I think pre89 are yellow, and later are gray?

    Another 88 Supra Problem

    ROFL. Sorry, that's just funny-- depressed water. Get a pressure tester and find the coolant leak. Check the heater hose that goes to the back of the head, coolant lines to the t.b.(as mentioned), and the 4(?) big allen bolts in the top of the spark plug galley. They block the coolant...

    Slow to crank and wont start

    Sounds like a bad starter. It could be shorted internally. If its been sitting 5 years: The first thing you need to do is change the oil, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and fuel filter. You probably need to drain the old gas out of the tank, and put some fresh in it. Luckily our...

    BHG jOb

    Well, you're halfway to having the motor out. Might finish pulling it, change to a gte oil pump, freshen up the bearings, maybe get some balancing work done. Or do it up right, and get some forged rods and pistons in there. Deck milled to spec for an mls hg, and upgrade the head bolts...

    Where to buy 100 amp alt fuse???

    Ahh. The legs on that fuse are bolted in. You have to take the fuse box apart a little to change it. It's not hard. If I remember right, that block will pop up so that you can change that fuse. Make sure you disconnect the batt. first...
