    word to the wise about TV's

    DO NOT buy an HP DLP HDTV! I work as an onsite service tech for a major contractor who services all manner and brands of consumer electronics. One of the products I have seen a rash of lately is these big screen HP TV's and let me tell you, they are junk! In the last week I have worked on...

    Not related to supras but check this out :)

    I used to own the predecessor to that vehicle, it was called the Tri-Magnum. They were introduced through Popular Mechanics back in the late 70's or early 80's. Mine was powered by a Yamaha Seca Turbo motorcycle. It was really quite fun to have and drive, but not exactly practical without AC in...

    What Is This Thing In The Trunk?

    The access panel is to allow you to disconnect the fuel sender and pump so yo can drop the tank without pulling on the wires. its just access to the connections, not the units themselves

    Thinking About Selling Supra....

    yeah, I vote for selling it and getting another one when the time is right. Listen, I know we all have special relationships with our cars, but in the end its just a car (please keep flaming to a minimum...lol). You will likely be able to afford a better one after school is done, and your...

    Whats the best sounding muffler with no cat

    The video in my sig is of my N/A with a 2.5 inch pipe, no cat (actually gutted and pipe filled, so same thing) 12" bullet (glasspack) resonator, and a Magnaflow Performance XL (single 2.5" in dual 2" out).

    Timing advance?

    lts of people still call it "ping" as opposed to "knock" cause it sounds more like a ping. Ive always referred to the sound of a diesel engine as knock, and the sound of a small block chevy with flat cam lobes as a ping. What Im trying to describe is that while rod knock has that hollow deep...

    anyone here a JW?

    Many many moons ago I watched my mom invite 2 JW's into our house. She then proceeded to turn the tables on them and spent the next 2 hours trying to convert them to catholicism. Ive never seen two young men squirm so much in my life. They never came back.

    Targa brace update - no GB YET

    no sorry not yet...I do expect something very soon. The guys programing the laser cut have been a bit slow in getting things done. My fabricator and I are both pretty unhappy with them. If I dont have something in the next couple of days, Im gonna personally go down there and raise some hell.

    220-230PSI compression...wtf?

    yes someone please elaborate a bit on this water injection method! The good news on this engine is that the compressions all within close range of each other, so I dont suspect any major wear. It does smell like its still running rich (at idle at least), and I have no idea how long the cat...

    220-230PSI compression...wtf?

    So I went ahead and forked out the 25 bucks for ANOTHER compression tester (my good one is in NM) and tested the comp. on my new 89. All cylinders over 220lbs highest being 230lbs. Looked in the book and it says standard compression is 156! sooooooooo...what am I missing here? Did someone...

    Car is Increasingly Hard to Start

    Its more than likely the starter is actually bad. What happens is the brushes get worn and non longer make good contact. The clicking you hear is most likely the solonoid clicking trying to engage the starter, but the starter motor is not spinning. every time you engage that solonoid it will...

    not a racer, but thought I would share

    Its responces like that that give Supra owners a bad name. Be proud of what you drive and I will be proud of what I drive. Did you stop to think that not everyone drives a certain kind of car only because its fast or not? Ive driven plenty of fast cars...the fastest being a chop top '67 Chevy...
