    External Wastegate Question

    It depends on which manufacturer they are from. :( Get a weight... about a pound. Put it on top of each spring, and measure how much it compresses the spring. Line them up in order of most compression to least compression. At least that will give you the order.

    Oh man, that price is WAY better than getting a new one from Toyota. Up here, Toyota charges $755.13 for a new one... or about ~650 USD.

    Calling all Supras for a Sexyfied Photoshoot!

    If it wasn't the middle of winter, maybe. But right now it's snowing outside, HARD, and my car is still up on jacks. Do this again in the summer. Or at the next PacNW meet or something.

    Valve Cover gaskets

    If your old ones are... well, old, consider them dead. They get brittle pretty damn fast.

    Replacement for the harmonic dampener - the big pulley on the end of your crank, all the belts go around it.

    Howto: 89+ ECU HAC mod

    Nope... still a foot of snow on top of my Supra, and the doors are frozen shut. I'll post up as soon as I have it running, believe me.

    Radiator Fluid... What kind is best? (anti-freeze)

    Personally I like the red stuff because it's easy to figure out what's leaking when you see red. Mind you, I guess the nuclear green / yellow of prestone does the same.

    Oil In Air Filter

    Hell yes. Pulling apart the one you have will net you essentially a new engine, putting in a different engine just gets you a different one.

    Oil In Air Filter

    In theory, sure - but if you're going to have it torn apart that far, you might as well replace the bearings and have the oil pump clearances checked, it's a few extra dollars that's worth a thousand when the engine is assembled.

    does anyone know what the little dicky things here say?

    Heh... that's my artwork. You wouldn't believe the number of people who have asked this. :) It should resemble the Halo look - I borrowed from that heavily when constructing the theme. Including the little lines and text. Everyone is correct - I knew that I was going to resize this to...

    Oil In Air Filter

    Oil in the air filter usually comes from excessive PCV blowby - and that is usually from dead rings or destroyed pistons. If it's still assembled and running, pull off the oil cap and fire it up - if there is lots of air blowing out the oil fill hole, this is the culprit.
