    What is limp mode like?

    The best way to check for a vacuum leak is to narrow it down by listening, then very carefully spray carb cleaner/brake cleaner/starting fluid in the area that you suspect the leak. Do it when the engine is cold so there are no hot parts for the flammable fluid to combust on.

    The Mistress

    Amazing, Dave. I have drooled over those pie cuts in Jeremy's thread since he posted them. It's an undeniable art form and much like yourself, I can only dream, as I can't weld for shit! Looks so much different with your wheels on it!

    New speedo cable - oil required?

    They do not require lubrication. The cable itself has a sleeve (teflon?) that slides smoothly inside the steel cable sheath. Lubing them is an option to make an old cable spin freely again. I lubed an old one of mine using new gear oil. You can do it to your new one if you want, but I...

    The Toyota Fairy brought me some OEM goodness.

    MM... YES. I need to get some of those mirror triangle things. When my black car was on the road, I'd have to be very careful when I washed it as I could watch the water shoot right inside the car. ::edit:: Good thinking FT :bigthumb:

    Article: Rod Knock Diagnosis & FAQ

    I have worked in a few GM dealerships and it's scary how many times I've heard the "technician" diagnose a car with wrist pin knock... Fixitman: I had a co-worker a few years ago that bought a newish (03?) Impala for $100 because it had a "Junk Motor". Turned out it was the flex plate. He's...

    1JZ Belt No A/C

    Take a piece of string, run it around the accessories to the length of the desired pulleys, remember to make it a little shorter than your measurement for the belt tensioner. Take your length, in millimeters, and add it to the end of the part number. Your number should be K060xxxx or...

    most commonly used tools on supra

    At the last dealership I worked at, there was an old woman of about 75 who adored her 96 Caprice Wagon. She had that car in the shop once a month for maintenance (she drove quite a bit, the last time I spoke to her before I left that job, she was trading the car in, albeit regrettably. It had...

    For those that want mp3 players without a new deck

    Say what? He'll modify the factory radio to accept an aux input? That's awesome! Thanks Trucker!! ::edit:: RazoE: I believe that radio will work. He's got cheaper ones on there than $250 though.

    My '90 3E5 Turbo Targa :)

    Not extremely heavy, given the size. I want to say the rears w/285's mounted is 35-40lbs. They have to come off again so I'll try to weigh them.

    So I jumped in the car...

    Amazing what these cameras are capable of. I bought my GF an $80 Kodak Point'n'shoot and it's a 10.8mp I think. Takes awesome pictures. Shame about Winslow, AZ. lol

    Turbo Supply Pipe

    Suprasport/Cooleeze makes a full kit. CXRacing on Ebay makes a full kit. They may separate the lower pipe if you ask nicely? This is a very easy pipe to replicate, and should not be too difficult to have someone make if you take off the old one. Just a 45* angle and 12" of straight. I'll...

    My Supra's Chronicles (400hp goal)

    Nice Supra, Tom! Looks very straight and clean! I know who you're talking about with the sandpaper block surface, Ray did it, and his car is still going strong. I'll have to take a ride down there in the spring and check it out. Mini MA Meet or something.
