pffft. And you're giving me a hard time about pics... :nono: :D :D :D

Line up the dems in office with Hillary and Ted Kennedy at the head of the line. Rosie, Whoopie, Sheryl Crow, Alec Baldwin, Streisand... There are just too many. Dechande can help me out. :D

Patience Ryan, patience. Something as beautiful as a nicely lowered Supra is worth the wait! :bigthumb: If I don't get pics up before Friday I promise I'll get them up just as soon as your NA-T pics are posted. :biglaugh:

75 bucks, and it was a "best we could do" job. Sucks.

Yeah, time to take care of that with an update! 1. Install Eibach lowering springs (before and after pics to come!) CHECK! 2. New brake pads all around -CHECK! 3. Adjust E-brake (doesn't work at all) - Problems, and I'm out of patience. A friend with a car shop is looking into the loud...

Normally you should address codes from the lowest number but in this case I'd first eliminate the TPS as the 51 source. Quickest way to do that is unplug it and jumper IDL and E2 on the harness. If the 51 disappears the problem is either in the TPS or the throttle is holding it open. The 21 can...

According to my ex-cop CCW (concealed carry) instructor, the best thing to do when you get pulled over is to 1. Put on hazards to let him know you acknowledge him, slow down and pull over as soon as it's safe. 2. Turn car off and put the keys on the dash. 3. Roll down the window and put...

My bad, m'bad or anything close to it. :nono:

They definitely were. The nut fought me all the way off, and they were screwed up. Maybe messed up by dirt or a burr instead of fully cross threaded, but almost fubar'd.

^^^^ which is why understanding the natural variation of knock numbers over time is the only way to make sense of the numbers. The only way to understand them is to collect data in a meaningful manner. I'm tempted to wire mine up and start logging the numbers myself after reading through...

Mostly we just smell funny Jay. :-p

Congrats to you! I've never had a rear facing car seat, but I have had front facing booster seats. Still do! Have fun and enjoy every bit of the experience!

I think there's one good way to make sense out of these values, which would be with the use of a control chart. If you're not familiar with these, it uses the natural variation in data points to calculate statistical 'control limits', and any value falling outside of the upper limit would be...

I was watching TV and reached for the phone but it quit ringing and I didn't recognize the number. Thanks for the offer Jay, but the parts are on their way and should be here this morning! I got the threads on the shock straightened for free at a local machine shop yesterday, so it looks...

Wow. My wife and her sister talk hair constantly. Did I log onto Sissymania or is this just a bad dream? :runaway: :biglaugh:

Not to dumb this down or anything, but you aren't hearing the ticking of the injectors firing are you? They are pretty easy to hear at idle. Rod knock generally happens as you rev the engine around 2500 rpm or so, I believe.

Like Jay said, yes; repairable. But you're looking at rebuilding the block - not the head - because that's where the knock is likely coming from. This means main & rod bearings, piston rings while you're at it, some machine work, spending a few dollars on the head while it's off, good time to...

I spent a few hours on the car, and here's the latest update: 1. Install Eibach lowering springs (before and after pics to come!) 3/4 Check - still waiting on suspension parts to come in to finish. 2. New brake pads all around Kinda check - still. Toyota dealership sent me the drivers side...

Graphite's the best color ever put on this car, and not too common. DO IT!

There have been a few questions in PM's about the parts I need. They are "bracket" and "suspension support" as seen on pg 17 of the Front Axle and Suspension section of the TSRM: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FA&P=17 Paypal funds are ready for the first...
