    starter bolts striped what to do??

    WTF? If it's an early model starter, it's a bolt with a nut. If it's a late model starter, the starter itself is threaded for the bolt, no nut required. In no case is it a stud with two nuts that I've ever seen. If you have rounded off either the bolt or the nut, a socket bolt extractor will...

    Sub solutions advice

    Keep in mind that *required* space and *ideal* space are not the same thing at all. Required space is a mostly fictional number created by marketing. Kind of like the minimum system requirements listed for games... sure, you *can* play that game on a P3 with 512K of RAM... as long as you don't...

    Is the stock Anti-Theft Adequate?

    Yes, a number of Supras have been stolen and stripped. Most (all that I can remember, anyway) were hotwired and driven away. A simple switch, wired into the fuel pump power line, and concealed somewhere will solve the problem. IMO every car should have one of these. PS: Don't tell anyone...

    Friends don't give away movie endings. I know a few people who didn't even like the first three. I know some pretty dumb people.

    I need advice from Supra owners....

    The nice thing about selling a Mk3 Supra at the moment is that you won't actually lose much money if you decide to buy another one in 5 years. On the other hand, add up the storage costs... it's worth it to spend $500 to keep a $10,000 car, but not so much if it's $500 to keep a $1000 car...

    Learnt Something New About the Supra This Week

    I'm pretty sure I know how a lot of girls can do it more than once. My wife can't remember being pregnant, with either kid. Her long term memory simply stopped working for 9 months.

    Learnt Something New About the Supra This Week

    My baby seat fits in my Supra. Must be the crazy RHD version or something. ;) Seriously, when we were buying them, we test fitted several and bought the one that would work in both our cars. Lucky thing that my wife Tracy is small, though, because the passenger seat DOES have to be literally...

    Overheating + Misfire... Suggestions?

    What he meant is that your cylinder pressures appear to drop as you test - starting at 180 and going to 170. Most common cause for that is forgetting to pull the EFI fuse, which allows the injectors to spray fuel into the cylinders during the test - the later cylinders get more fuel and read...

    i m soo annoyed!!, Moving to Plan B

    Fixed that for you. If you're going to go for the expense of buying a new engine, consider going the other route - getting your existing motor completely re-manufactured. This WILL solve all your little oil leaks, and more than likely any cooling problems you are facing as well. Plus, you'll...

    Need Quick help tranny/starter bolt

    Excellent advice. Furthermore, if it has a drain plug AND a fill plug, start with the fill plug. That way you aren't left without a way to refill it after you empty it...
