    one piece crank pulley rollcall!

    Good for you - at least you aren't financing it. Now that would be stupid.

    one piece crank pulley rollcall!

    I've never heard of it doing damage quickly - it's generally cumulative over time. Although we had a guy who lost a couple of OS Giken triple disc clutches in a very short time due to one of these. It was a pretty extreme motor with lightweight everything. Revved like a superbike and was damned...

    Oil Pressure drops :(

    #1 - please post the name and address of this shop so other owners can ensure they never do business with a rip off artist. #2 - Sounds like fairly normal behavior for one of these cars at the age that they are. Some questions: When was the last oil change (how long / how many miles...

    Knocking some dust off an old topic.... Coolant Temp. Sensor Mod.

    Guys, these "mods" are 15+ years old. We've learned a lot about these cars since then.. Supras.com is a great "historical" reference, and the old mailing list still has a few people on it (including me, I just don't post anymore), but it's the past. We've got much better information here...

    What the fuck #2?

    Think about all the drugs prescribed to the American people. Where do they go? Down the toilet in waste for the most part... Everything down there is soaked in human DNA and drugs... Who knows what could come crawling out of that primordial soup.

    Need to buy a clutch TODAY!

    Yea, but it's usually cars with monster pressure plates. I use my remote start all the time so I don't have to press the clutch.

    mod getting out of hand ie Jdub

    I've carefully reviewed this thread. I've read all sides of the equation. Jdub does exactly the job he signed on to do, and does it superlatively. I understand this may upset people who feel they are somehow "special" and that the rules that apply to the other 10,000 users of this site somehow...

    what is the best thing to use to seal my oilpan?

    I use FIPG alone. I've never had it leak.

    Car salesmen

    I should write a guide on this topic. Car salesmen hate me. Do your research before you ever set foot on a car lot. Know exactly what you are going to buy and exactly what you are going to pay for it before you go. Learn what their margin and markup on the car are. Know more about the...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I'm a member of Georgia Carry (http://georgiacarry.org), a citizens advocacy group working toward the reform of Georgia's poorly written, overly restrictive, ignored by the courts gun laws. I just wanted to comment on our previous discussion a few posts ago about open carry by Georgia Firearms...

    Loud Ticking noise from front of engine

    It's internal, and that motor needs to be disassembled regardless.
