    lets play a guessing game, wat do you think broke?

    It's the head gasket. sorry- I know that didn't help, but it's late and I couldn't resist. Good luck, and when you find out what it was, you ARE required to post the result here for posterity.

    Blown headgasket...

    Flush your cooling system thoroughly and get rid of that brown crud in it! Also, that cooling reservoir can be removed by pulling it straight up, and off its mount(watch your fingers though). Blast it out with a hose to get rid of all the crap in it while you're cleaning the whole system. I also...

    Juntao 5m swap to mk3 first I have heard of

    Back in 1985, my college roomate(yes- I'm THAT old) had a brand new 84 Supra, and he had to replace the valve stem seals in his 5M three times over 25,000 miles. Was that a common issue with 5M's? I ask, because I don't know.

    Motor Swap

    I once pulled the motor w/ the power steering pressure hose still connected- messed it all up. As for the clutch, remove the two inspection covers, and you remove the clutch fork by pulling it straight out. Then you rotate the motor so you can get at each clutch pressure plate bolt.

    "Knock, knock! Who's there? You're motor b**ch!"

    That might just be the injectors..... NOT. sorry man- but that just means it's time for a turbo swap.

    F1 Clutch Never again

    I have the F1 stage 3 with an aluminum flywheel, and it's slipping after~ 5,000 miles. I don't beat on the car much, and I don't think I have more than 275tq at the wheels. I actually think my front tranny seal might be leaking and contaminating the disc, but when I replace it, I'm going to make...

    Georgia Supras

    Hey guys- I went down to the Varsity this past Thursday(9/3) and I was the ONLY mk III that I saw. In fact, I only saw 1 or 2 Mk IV's there, and the owners weren't around their cars. It was, however, packed. Lotta s13/s14's, Suby's and Hondas, and a few vette's, mustangs, etc. the most...

    Finally!!! Baby's got new shoes!

    Thanks- Well, just got back from a 4-wheel alignment. The before-and-after spec sheet shows that camber and caster were only slightly off, but one wheel on each end of the car had a bad toe-in setting. I went conservative on camber, at only 1 degree negative on both ends, and toe-in and caster...

    Finally!!! Baby's got new shoes!

    Well, as for the TRD sticker- that was put on the car in like 1996, so...forgive me! And someone liked the 16x8 Mille Miglia's....better? Aside from the curb rash, chipped paint and 16x8 size....ok. Anyhow, I will be getting a 4 wheel alignment today or tomorrow, and will add a touch of...

    Finally!!! Baby's got new shoes!

    The color difference? If you're talking about the shipping error- two wheels being lighter color- No. As I said, I shipped them back and got them replaced. If you mean, how does the chromium black match up to the paint color- well, it's pretty much right on.
