    What's your favorite tire shine?

    Simple Green Removes dirt and the brown oils that the tires seep, and it's prefectly CLEAN afterwards. I like tires shines too, but they HAVE to dry before you drive, Simple Green you don't.

    Skeptical Supra guy

    Personally, I wouldn't look at getting it running, I'd rip into it and see how bad the rust really is. Rust around the windshield = BAD on a targa car as the windshield is actually a stress member. Would be a safety issue in my eyes.

    Sparco steel street seats

    Yep, as most racing seats aren't adjustable, you really have to sit in them to find what fits. I'm pretty thin, so I fit quite nicely in seats that most other people would hate...

    My Head Lights Aren't Working!!!

    They have a fuse for each light in the fusebox under the hood. The headlight relay is also there, but there is an Intergration Realy that is under the dash that's blue and is about the size of a deck of cards that can also fail. With one headlight being the issue, it's gonna be wiring and...

    Electric Fans 1 or 2

    Yep, what if someone else drives your car? The other reason to go to e-fans, especially for a company like BMW, is less noise because they only come on when needed. But, personally after installing a koyo radiator, new fan shroud (with custom brackets to make the shroud mount properly)...

    leaking coolant jacked plug down in the spark plug valley. Remove spark plug, spark plug will have coolant on and it and will drain the coolant into the cylinder. Just like if the oil jacket plugs are leaking... http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/head_coolant_leak.aspx

    oil in exhaust manifold

    my oil cosumption wne WAY down after I rebuilt the head and had new valvestem seals installed. On quite a few of them the seal had completely desintegrated, and the head was stuffed with carbon from the burning oil...

    Almost done with painting the car. A few pics also

    Being nit picky is a GOOD thing. IMHO, a good paint job will look like it was never done, and to me seeing overspray and crap would bother me everytime I saw it...

    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    There is a scrubber that I believe is made by 3M that will quickly remove pinstriping and other stickers without damaging the paint. The only issue is the paint is more than likely not aged under the stickers, so you'll notice the paint is more white compared to the rest. You're lucky you...

    Oil inside spark plug valley... Massive amount!

    I replied to him by PM on his issue, but I'll answer here as well. Oil ONLY in the spark plug wells means one thing, the oil galley plugs. The plugs are seals with the rubber on the 3rd cam cover gasket (the one the spark plug wires seal to). The rubber gets old, and it leaks. Only way...

    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    Learn not to park so far in... If you're used to a truck where you stop when the tires touch, you're gonna DESTROY your front bumper on a curb one day...
