    My 2008 SILV writeup

    Agreed, I'm *serioiusly* considering stretching the drive over three days each way next time I go. I felt really rushed on the trip, I like to find local landmarks and stop to smell the flowers. Maybe I'm just getting old, but nonetheless...

    #3 valve cover, essential?

    Oil cannot get past the plugs to foul anything in the combustion chamber. That said, replacing your valve cover seals is still very worthwhile, it's possible to leak so much oil into the spark plug valley that the wires arc through it to the head material. Many folks run without the third...

    My 2008 SILV writeup

    Ya, I could tell, she was expecting a brownie point deposit and here you were talking about cars with a couple strangers! I'm trying to convince my wife that she wants to drive the van down with a bunch of spare parts in it next year... :D

    what length extention will i need to remove the top starter bolt

    Cripes guys, you're making mountains out of molehills here. I can pull the starter by myself in 15 minutes, it's less than half that with a buddy. I feed extensions in from the front of the engine, below the alternator and above the AC compressor until I can slide the socket onto the bolt...

    My 2008 SILV writeup

    Yup, that we did. I'd have more sympathy for you if you had come to SILV. :D As it is, if you want sympathy, you'll just have to look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. :icon_razz

    My 2008 SILV writeup

    Cliffs: I had a blast, and I'll be back. You should come next time too! This actually starts a little while before SILV, but bear with me. My '89 Supra with the original, if not entirely stock, 7M-GTE engine in it has been running rather well and really reliably for quite some time, so I...

    Deck smoothness of a block and head from the factory

    Says the only guy we've ever seen buy new ones from Toyota, so pay attention. There's no way you can get a MHG to seal on a surface that's been clamped together using a stock gasket. The machine work is absolutely required.

    R154's DO SUCK!!

    Bah, I say. That has nothing to do with how reliable the transmission is, that's entirely because you were trying to impress a girl. Supras don't like competition. Seriously, it would help if you posted what kind of power levels you are running, and how aggressively you were driving it...

    Official MKIII Smack down, High Roller Series and other VEGAS results here!

    Randy was paying attention to those, I'm surprised he hasn't posted them up yet. I was away for an hour of this, drove Andy (ARZ) back into town to pick up his car from the cleaners.

    Hi/Low beam HID problems

    It's more likely a lack of the fog light rewire mod. Try turning on the fog lights. Do the HIDs go out? If so, lookup the foglight rewire mod here or on supras.com and you should be set.
