    I think Keith is right about splitting the community, and when I started reading this thread I was gonna say it until I read he already had. Now I havent been around the forum for very long. In fact this is the first automotive forum Ive ever belonged to that I posted more than 10 posts...

    does anyone think that a test tube baby will develop health problems later on in life

    yeah, joel is right, the term "test tube baby" really refers to IVF, and its done every day in the world. I dont believe the statistic show that IVF leads to any higher mortallity rate or birth defects. Sadly in your brothers case, its just one of those things that cant really be explained...

    wont go above 3k RPM

    really? I did a serach for the code 11 and seemed like it was no big deal. Im wondering this though, I noticed the last schmuck to own this car put in a wrong direction battery, meaning the pos and neg posts are on the opposite sides than they should be...to make it fit they cut the small ground...

    Acrylic Moulding

    I think it could be done and might look kinda cool if done right. Moulding the whole piece would be expensive I think, what about using a dremmel or something like it and just "routering" out the words and putting a red acrillic sheet and bulb behind it? It would take a real steady hand though...

    Ok ya know I just bought the "Lady in White" 89 NA 5spd. Had a bad 90degree hose, replaced that. 2 minutes later the water pump siezed, replaced that. Car idles smooth but anything off idle sucks. Shut car off...boils over, replaced radiator cap...no more boil over. OK so thats where Im at at...

    WeezL Wayward home for White Supras

    Well the back story on this car is that one day I was headed over to Albany and just outside of Corvallis I see this white Supra sitting off the road, almost in the ditch sorta. I slowed down but didnt stop. On my way back I decided to pull over and take a look at it. It had a caved in drivers...

    WeezL Wayward home for White Supras

    Tim, Im sorry but I cant let Becky have that quite yet. So far the plan to save it still stands. I got the water pump replaced, that was no problem. I offered up the old one to the BHG Gods and jumped in to give it a try. Car started, with a jump again. Idles ok, BUT, she stumbles bad off...

    WeezL Wayward home for White Supras

    yeah got the old one off...was able to back turn the bearing to get it move...but sounds like gravel inside it...the fins looked good, and the fluid coming out is clean...CQ has a lifetime new pump for 60 bucks...sometimes I hate Corvallis...but it will have to do...I wanna see this thing on the...

    WeezL Wayward home for White Supras

    yep, you called it. I got a good look today where the leak was and its that little 90 degree hose of to the left (as your looking at it) and behind the water pump. Now to figure out how to replace it, and where to get one!

    Best way to rebuild the engine

    no brainer, if you're rebuilding completely, just yank the motor and trans together. Seperate the trans fromt the motor, and put the engine on a stand. Dont try to work off the floor. A stand is well worth the cost. I think I got mine at Checker for like $29.99.

    WeezL Wayward home for White Supras

    yeah I knew the climate control swapped out, I was just curious if any of the 89's had the older climate controls. Mainly for future reference, but Im also curious how much has been tampered with in this car....so far seems like its been untouched for the most part (or at least had factory...
