ok so you guys know or to help me figure this out. ill break it down simple.
I m a first time supra owner
- car has a new radiator, was said by the previous owner
- did a coolant flush and the coolant was all green. Not brownish or anythig
- Changed the thermostat two days ago
-car doesn't...
/\/\ have i ever taken it apart.. nope, there is always.. do it yourself and learn.
MHG cost 110.. 1.2 mm HKS metal Headgasket
ARp bolts cost somewhere around 115.
As for tool set.. yes and no.. my dads has alot of tools.. but not sure exactly what i need so thats why i m asking what tools...
the car has 122000 miles and yesterday when i pushed the car in 2 and 3, the heat gauge went up to the overheat line and went down to the middle.
So now i just parked the car and not sure what setup to take.
I m planning on doing the Headgasket myself. just wondering how hard is it to take the engine apart and doing the headgasket myself and also what tools will i be needing to do all this stuff ??
Thanks.
Also,
I m smelling alot of coolant burned smell but the car doesn't smoke at all and I...
/\/\ that maybe be it why mine was dimmed out.. but my dimmer is blending in with a wried greyish dash thing the previous owner installed. im pretty sure it aint stock.. ill take pic and post it here
/\/\ ill check it out in a little bit.. ... no dash work... I bought the car and didn't really look at it at night.. my buddy drove it home at night and said it worked fine.... maybe something happen along the way... ill check out the hazard switch... where would it be unplugged ?? in the engine...
i don't even see dash dimmer anywhere and the dash is not even dimmed.. Its dark and there is no light at all. I know when you put the dash dimmer. you can still see the light on your dash. but my dash. no light what so ever at all. All dark and when i turn my headlights on, the climate control...
ok so my cluster light doesnt work at all. I just noticed it yesterday when i turned the headlights to see if they work properly and i noticed my cluster light doesn't work at all. Like, there is no light at all there. My climate control light goes away when i turn the lights on and the cluster...
/\/\ yes i know. thanks. I will be replacing the HG with a MHG and Arp bolts in a week. I havent driven in the car in a week now. It's sitting on the drive way. While it's sitting there. I thought i could fix little stuff that needs to be fixed. I m in no hurry to drive that thing. i wont be...
can i just go to home depot and buy some 2 or 3 inch pipes and make my own piping for the intercooler ?? will that work ?? i was just thinkin in my class.. will that work ???
It's just a thought.
/\/\ yea.. its the bottom pipe that my buddy said that it looks bad and its needs to be replaced. He squeezed it and it squeezed up and went back to its shape. It didn't look normal and i know it shouldnt do that so im guessing i need to replace that. So i m guessing that might be the problem...
well there is no check engine light on. ill go to autozone and see if i can get codes if there is any. My pipes look horrible. Ill take them out and take pics when i can. It's snowin/raining mix.. its gay!! i hate this weather.
