    Wooooohooooo!

    Sweet, thx Mike. Funny, you have no idea how much you use something like this until it's suddenly gone for two days, and you're lost... moping around the house, doing nothing... :D

    What new car would you buy?

    Could it be any worse than her current 2001 Tiburon?

    favorite drink

    Ewww... I still don't understand coffee. How can we invent a drink that smells so good and tastes so bad? As I don't consume alcohol, I'll cast my vote anyhow - cranberry juice. On ice. :)

    What new car would you buy?

    One of the girls where I work is sick of her Tiburon. (Thank you, Lord.) :) She wants the following features: - Sporty (Turbo would be nice, but not required) - Good Looking - no STIs or EVOs, they are ugly. Her words, not mine. - New, so no Supras. :( - 6 cylinders or more. She likes...

    Any alternatives for 2 things?

    Yes, you can buy stick on moulding, you just cut it to the proper length and stick it on. It comes in various widths and colors. Personally I'd get some new stuff from Toyota, or buy replacements in good shape from someone parting a car, but whatever floats your boat.

    Fixing the Problem please help

    I'd bet on old valve seals for the oil on startup - and I'd bet that's the starting issue as well. It's really not that big of a deal. Does sound like the beginning stages of rod knock, too. Pull your plug wires one at a time and see if the noise goes away. If it does, you've got some worn...

    alternator acting weird stuck on 12V on start up then jump to 14V pass 4500 RPM

    I've run into the same problem and had it be the windings on the alt instead of the brushes. I'd still change the brushes first, just on the general principle that you replace the cheap parts first.

    PC needs a tune up

    Depends. If all you do is websurf, stick with the machine you have. Why buy a Ferrari if you never drive over the limit? And XP is actually one of the most efficient pieces of software to come out of Redmond in many years. I run it very well on machines all the way down to 733 Mhz - it runs...

    What the hell did I miss....

    Loki isn't home. He's currently asleep on my couch after a long trip to the coast from the interior.

    OK WTF did I do? HELP

    Wash engine = water in the spark plug valley = shorting plug wires. Don't worry, you're not the first person to do this, and I guaran-damn-tee you won't be the last. Take the top of your motor apart - coils, coil pack cover, leads, and dry out the valley. Put it back together and you'll be...

    MAJOR PROBLEM, well to me at least, help needed badly!

    Pick up a replacement from the forum, it'll save you a big chunk of coin. Better yet, is anyone local that you can swap theirs in to verify this is the problem initially?

    having a hard time removing the front main oil seal

    Better wait for someone else to chime in as well, but I seem to recall the same thing from mine.

    Charcoal Supra with 5 spoke rims?

    What do you mean by charcoal? Black? Dark grey? Glossy finish, or flat?

    so it is winter...

    I get the same thing. :( I just spend lots of time in the shower. Doesn't itch when I'm wet.

    Jesus Christ

    This thread is DONE. Furthermore... This thread has caused *ME* more headaches in the last two days than the rest of the forum put together for the last year. Not because I support one side or the other, but because I'm thoroughly disqusted with BOTH sides complete inability to communicate...
