    Stumbled across this supra...

    looked OK, until I saw these. No cowl (WTF!!?!!?), didn't fully remove the part on the header panel that flows with the cowl, and look at the dumples and waves in the work around the corner lights... I don't usually say this about modified cars, but :barf:

    EGR Cooler gasket p/n???

    the gasket is the same across the years (as the head never changed) it's NOT going to be easy doing it in the car, but it is possible. It's getting the old gasket off that's gonna be tough. I would NOT use permatex RTV for it, as it would be harder to work with in my eyes, and not take...

    Crush bent intercooler piping.

    it's far lighter, and easier to bend ceramic coating the pipes will keep the heat away as well

    suspension problem?

    none of the above... it's your steering locks. It's a small bolt that should be covered in a little nylon cap. Cap falls off, you get metal on metal and it clunks.

    Gray smoke during boost??

    my rebuilt head burns ZERO oil... The valvestem seal on these cars can be hell, as most people ignore them. I thought I had valvetrain noise when it was actually the metal casings to the valve stem seals bouncing around on the shaft. Most of them where either rock hard, or completely...

    smoking questions.

    drive it for a while and see if it goes away when I put my engine back together I filled the turbo lines with oil and let it soak in a prime. It blew smoke pretty badly for a while (it's an old turbo), but it went away... Do a full oil change as well, as the filter may have been faulty...

    it's not removable, though you can get covers that go over it... (or buy a brand new assembly from the dealer like I did) there is one large bolt and one large nut that hold it to the tranny tunnel, and a number of other things needed to remove it. Pull the boot off and you can see. You...

    Police harrasment

    my best friend is a cop, so I can understand their view. But the kid was fully in his rights and knew it, and cop was plain out of line to the point of assault. I've seen cops roll through stop signs and I report them. They aren't above the law and they should be setting examples. FYI: I...

    Police harrasment

    no, they DON'T have a right to ask you where you are going, that's you're 4th Amendment rights The other video clearly shows search and seizure that broke his 4th amendment rights. In the other case, he felt he was NOT free to go (as would anyone else in the situation), so it was a seizure.
