    Looking for valve shims? This might be a good source...

    Spray one with some brake cleaner and see if it comes off! :D

    For everyone who wanted the Mk3 Supra font

    If you're looking for a specific letter, let me know. And if all you want is a bitmap image of it, I can produce those right now if I have the letters. Eventually, this will become a true type font, and everyone will be able to make anything they want from it. I'm not going to do the entire...

    HID bi-xenon and high beam indicator

    JJ, stuck across which - the headlight socket, or the indicator in the dash?

    HID bi-xenon and high beam indicator

    In theory we should just be able to measure the resistance on a stock headlight and put in something similar. Unless I'm smoking the crack again, which at this time of night is possible...

    For everyone who wanted the Mk3 Supra font

    Here's the work in progress... I don't have all the letters finished yet, but I'm up to the point where it's going reasonably quickly. EDIT: It's now finished, see below for the link to download. Finished font is now available here: http://idriders.com/Supras/SupraOutline.TTF

    Are those sizes etched in? That would be awesome... the lettering comes off the stock ones.

    Blown 7M at 19psi on Stock CT26

    Really rough, and smoking white like a mofo... = Blown Head Gasket. Or what MK3Brent said, they are pretty much the same thing. If you blew the gasket via detonation from running lean, you might have toasted pistons as well. Not that I'm talking from personal experience or anything here...

    HID bi-xenon and high beam indicator

    Unlikely in the extreme. Try switching your bulbs, see if the failure is the wiring or the bulb.

    Must be nice trying to check your blind spot driving inside that mobile curtain.

    shifter busing falls into the tranny

    It will get chewed up by the gears basically instantly. Ask me how I know... :( I just flushed the tranny, put in new gear oil, and bought a new bushing.

    Post funny things that got you detentions in high school

    Guys, most of you suck. We stole the keys for the canned pop machine, emptied it out, and refilled it with beer. Left the price at $0.35, too. (Of course, this was in 1985...)

    Could thes work for headlights?

    Flush headlights on a Mk3 Supra will give you light that's bad enough you can't really drive after dark. It's been done a few times, and nobody has managed to make it work nicely yet.

    Is this the New Supra?

    Pop Quiz: What's wrong with the Lexus name? Answer: Absolutely nothing. I'd buy one of those.

    HID bi-xenon and high beam indicator

    We figure that a resistor in the empty bulb connector should do the trick, so the system thinks there is still a load... but I don't think anyone has actually done it yet.

    Scamming someone when you are the seller is less likely - you have to actually have the part, a camera to take pictures of the part, enough internet savvy to post said pictures here, and have a fair bit of reputation to be able to post items for sale here. It would seriously take months to...

    Strategy to Remove C-Clamp?

    He's definitely right on the snap ring pliers, they are really useful. I didn't have to muck about with mine with a file, though.

    There is a HAC on all models. Pre-89 has an external sensor that is mounted underneath the glove box. 89+ models have one internal to the ECU.

    The ONE time that I agreed to cross ship - he sent me a money order, I sent him the goods, AND I knew him rather well, or so I thought, he 'got in a argument with his wife, who wouldn't let him pay until he'd inspected the goods'. As this was an overseas shipment via slow boat, I was out my...
