You're removing VERY small amounts and there is a minimum thickness spec for a reason! Turn the damn rotors (even fresh out of the box they aren't always true), get new brake pads, tighten the wheels to the proper spec (EXTREMELY important, most people overtighten them!), bed the brakes in...

You need the seatbelt slide, it's necessary! In an accident it's how your seatbelt is mounted to the chassis, without it it's mounted just to the chair and it's not meant to take the stress! I agree with the fact that most of those holes are covered by the insulation (sound and heat) that...

No offence to LIPP, ETS, or other people that make the piping the way they do, but I think it looks like crap. The HKS setup looks really good as well, and it's because it's not one piece from the fender to the throttle body... My personal opinion, but I don't like it that way, just wish I...

IIRC they swapped ends as well on the later models... The aluminum ones are lighter and don't rust internally as easily...

The metal clips he's talking about are common...as most people have replaced them with the parts store struts which have the clips (makes it MUCH easier to remove the hood BTW)

Rear lower bolt you have to spread the ears a bit with a prybar (DO NOT GRIND to fit, it's a slide)

Stock lug nuts won't work with aftermarket wheels...

Only when the engine is on a stand, in the car you have to put the head on then the studs have to go in... Chasing the threads in the block is required with studs as well, and depending on the block it might be quick or it might take time (mine took hours).

I would have closed the registers and called the police. Act like animals and be treated like them...

I should have taken pictures of the lines at the mall I went to... The DFW area is doing a bit better than the rest of the country from what I've been told though... I always chuckle at WhtMa71's avatar :rofl:

Supra is classified as a "3 door sedan" ;)

A good previous owner that actually IMPROVED a car while it was in their hands, good job...

Didn't mean to accuse you of beating on the car :biglaugh: Just seems to be the common occurance and not really paid attention to on the car side, but motorcycle guys have known it forever because everything is so much easier to feel on a motorcycle (you know when something isn't right pretty...

Toyota DID actually put some thought into making the engine "pretty." That is one of those items as well as the vacuum hardline that runs across the front of the timing case and is bent to mirror the joint in the upper and lower covers.

I agree about a #11, you have an issue, you fix it, then the next weakest link breaks. Repeat for months/years...

Like said, the cooleeze look good, but they have issues and can be improved upon...

Nope, the lock rings around the throwout bearing hub.

Aluminum alloys melt at higher temps is what he's getting at (though he could have been a bit forthcoming). Pure aluminum is too soft to do much of anything with.

Think he means the polished ceramic coating...
