    No heat in the cold cold midwest!

    Sounds like your heater valve is stuck closed. It's a common problem. Here's a diagram of it, located on the passenger side of the car on the firewall: You can see the feed to the valve, and the outlet of the valve going to the core. If you look closer: You can see there's a...

    How protective are you of your Supra?

    It's not likely that someone's going to jack your car from a parkinglot using a trailer. Though, you are correct; there's not a whole lot you can do about that though. You could take the front left and rear right wheels off every night. LOL.

    Control Arm Bushing Help, Poly Energy Suspension

    ^ Hell, if you were closer I'd say give me the stuff you want pressed out. My best friend works at a shop, and lets me use the press and lifts whenever I want. :) On a side note, before I had access to that, very careful work with a hacksaw never let me down, and I never cut into any control arms.

    Caught this little guy crawling around the pond in my back yard over the summer when I was weed whacking. I let it go in a stream. Snapping turtles eat our fishes...

    no boost

    There are so many more things to check before going through all that work. Diagnosing a problem does not entail throwing parts at the car until it's fixed! Start by checking your diagnostic trouble codes: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx

    Cagefighting

    I've never done any sort of training, but my friend who outweighs me by about 30lbs. (and does Brazilian jujitsu has trouble making me tap out, and I'm a scrawny little fuck. I attribute that to growing up with an older brother. LOL. He wanted me to start training. If I had the time, I would!

    Tire sizes/spacers for MK4 TT wheels

    I was running MKIV TT wheels w/ 275/40 rear and 255/40 front Falken Azenis RT-615's. Very slight rubbing at full lock either way, but that can be fixed by adjusting the bump stops. No spacers on mine.

    no boost

    Yeah, and you're contributing to that slo-mo hammer... :nono: So you want him to shim his wastegate if he has a potentially large boost leak? If you don't know, keep your mouth shut. That's a fantastic way to overspin the turbo and kill it. He can make sure his BOV is working with a vacuum...

    Good old 7M pictures

    Cost to the consumer has nothing to do with quality. Hell, I'll sell you my spare MKIV TT rim. It's got two hefty cracks in it. I'll let it go for $400. :sarcasm: Thread closed, as this is obviously a way to advertise sales for his business even though he's not allowed, AND not a vendor here.

    no boost

    It would be more likely that he has a large boost leak, like from the chargepipe right off the compressor side of the turbo...
