    Looking for some very specific Supra pics

    I'd like to find a good picture as close to this angle as possible for a Mk1, Mk2, and Mk4. For that matter, I'd like one of the 2000GT, too. If you can help out, post up links, or if you own one of these vehicles and a decent camera, and you're feeling charitable post up and I'll send you my...

    Because MK3Brent is teh fail, here's a real riddle

    In order to pass this test, you need to be able to tell the examiner which switch controls which light. There are three lights and three switches. The catch is that you cannot see the lights from where the switches are located. You can walk over there after setting the switches, but when you...

    Quick question - what are the big electonics retailers in the USA?

    I remember circuit city, but I'm sure there's a few of them. I'm looking for online prices that I can use as leverage to force the retailers in Canada to price match, now that the Canadian dollar is so strong. And considering that I only live 2 hours from Seattle, I can drive down and pick up...

    Valve clearances - which is better?

    Just rechecking my valve clearances after the last rebuild, I've let it heat cycle several times now. The manual says .006 - .010 for the intake and .008 - .012 for the exhaust when cold. Question is, what's better, and why? Right in the middle? On the tight side? On the loose side? I've...

    Shiny new parts going on... (Pics included)

    Well, I've had the car offline for a couple months, as usual for me when I decide to fix anything, I find more bits to upgrade or make shiny while it's down. Decided a couple weeks ago to dedicate some time to getting it back on the road, so it's time to bolt on some of the pretties. Turbo...

    So, what do you think Upgradedsupra will break next?

    He's already broken... hmm... off the top of my head, anyway: - harmonic dampener - flywheel - some flywheel bolts - carbon fibre drive shaft - thrust washers What do you think is going to let go next? I'm thinking driveshaft to rear diff bolts. Maybe wheel studs. Maybe all the teeth on the...

    Ever hear of a CPS skipping several teeth?

    Odd thing happened to me today, I was driving along normally, in traffic in the city, so just cruising, and the engine dies. I try to restart it, and it doesn't want to fire - the engine feels like the timing is way off. So, I push it across the street and around a corner. Quite the workout...

    New turbo is finally here... (pics)

    The greedy UPS driver showed up this morning with a box. The Missus paid him to leave us alone and leave the box here. When I finally got home and unwrapped it, this is what I found. Now all I have to do is figure out what I need for oil fittings... and how to mount a wastegate actuator. Oh...

    Someone make these - I'd buy one.

    The shaped plastic housing that covers the engine wiring harness and runs just behind the timing belt cover. The damn things are always destroyed and brittle as hell. If someone made a new one that could snap overtop of the wiring harness, I bet they could sell a *lot* of them.

    Experience Paris - Video + Google Map mashup

    "On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain...
