    BVSV Broke?

    That's like two wrongs making a right, does not compute... That's good, you're actually trying to learn. Much like EGR, the evap system not only cut emissions, but raised efficiency. If it's "ugly" relocate it and make it pretty. Hell, i think the coil packs on top of the engine are ugly...

    BVSV Broke?

    You seem to think it's a joke :3d_frown: I don't see engine fires as a joke. Not to mention rubber undercoating catching on fire, hope you have good insurance and they don't notice your negligence... If you had a vented gas cap the CC would do nothing, the gasses would escape from the cap...

    BVSV Broke?

    Onto the hot side of the engine bay... Liquid gasoline isn't that dangerous, it's the FUMES that are highly flammable. You're literally playing with fire here... EDIT: Damn you guys are fast tonight LOL 1) Vented gas caps. Our system was designed for some positive pressure in the fuel...

    Good Oil for Torsen LSD rear end

    No no, your "clunk." Toyota uses a cheap (but easy to use and mass produce) crush sleeve that's used to set pinion bearing preload. The crush sleeve wears out very quickly and then at that point the only thing that's really holding the pinion in is the staked pinion nut. It builds up play and...

    BVSV Broke?

    1) JJ is a bit harsh, but the info is available. The TSRM is the supra bible, read it in your spare time and learn a hell of a lot about your car. 2) http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EC&P=6 3) EGR has nothing to do with the CC/evap system. You're...

    W58 Shifting problem!

    Weird... I know on the old toyota trannies that worn shift forks would do the same thing, can't speak for the W58 though.

    160 degree thermostat

    Correct, the "o-ring" IS the gasket. Reusing the gasket usually causes leaks (no idea why but it's leaked everytime I've tried) and if the surfaces aren't clean it will leak as well. Also, DON'T OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS, you're not compressing anything, it's metal on metal and they have a very...

    Didn't Pass Smog wtf

    Hell, a nice spirited run on the highway is best, and go at a time they're not busy so it goes right in.

    BVSV Broke?

    In a pinch I have seen people just connect the two vaccum lines. This will cause you to go rich though and should be fixed ASAP. It's arguable safer than letting gasoline vapors vent... *cracks knuckles* The charcoal canister (from here on called just CC) and it's vent to the engine is...

    160 degree thermostat

    Personally, I ran a stant and had temp spike issues and it took forever to warm up. Bought one from a dealer and it warmed up faster and no more temp spikes. Their not that expensive either...

    W58 Shifting problem!

    Yeah, that's a lot of play :D You need a shifter seat and bushing. I recommend the Marlin Crawler set (driftmotion carries them and will get it to you faster). Also, as it's a W58, the insert where the lower shifter ball goes into the tranny can wear, BillyM makes a bronze replacement if...

    W58 Shifting problem!

    Don't punch it in gear, you risk breaking a shift fork (then you're really screwed). When in gear, does your shift lever have a lot of play? What fluid are you running?

    Clutch Issue *Pics*

    There isn't enough room under the car to get the snout of the tranny into the throwout bearing hub and through the clutch. This is why clutch kits for our cars don't come with clutch alignment tools...
