    The Toyota Fairy brought me some OEM goodness.

    Cool thanks for posting those. A local guy at the dealer here helps out supra owners quoted me $62 for the hatch weather stripping and like $12 for the tail light gaskets, so I'm going to go with him(no shipping). I just wasn't sure if champion could do better or not. Good to know about the...

    Sold Supra Left Over Parts

    I'm not cheap, I just like to pay the very minimum that the seller will allow. I don't like to just out right lowball someone but you'd be surprised how quick people will take less than half their asking price when they see the cash.

    Aftermarket Shift Knob Install, I need a basic how to, thanks.

    I knew someone that put in a knob from auto zone, bragged how easy it was to install with the set screw. A few weeks later the knob would rotate around and eventually became so loose that now it just comes off easy. I'm sure with some loctite on the set screw it would be fine but why go through...

    Carry Over From NA To Turbo?

    Why not spend the money on the rest of the car now and not worry about anything motor related? Work on your brakes, suspension and other up- keep type items on the car. That way when you do the motor swap you have a good platform for the motor to go into. No sense paying money for the intake and...

    ARP Studs

    I prefer sears, I know a lot of people don't like them for whatever reason. I remember when I did my head gasket I used a thin wall/deep socket. I also remember having to turn the cams a little bit to allow the socket to squeeze in. Everything had to be lined up just right for the socket to fit...

    Make sure your torque wrench is capable of torquing it back on too, don't want to get it off then have no proper way to put it back on.

    NAPA Gold Oil Filter wrench

    You'd sacrifice the health of your engine oil by using an inferior filter just because you can't use your old method for removing the better filter? I'd find a way to get the better filter on/off before I used a crappy filter... Obviously people can handle getting the napa gold/wix filter...

    Suspension issue?

    I actually bought my first breaker bar when I did the suspension on my supra. I was amazed how easy the bolts came out with the breaker bar. If you for some reason can't or don't want to wait to get a breaker bar. You can use a normal wrench on the bolt then whack the wrench with a rubber...

    Worst driving conditions

    Ok, technically I didn't drive but I was in the passenger seat. I had to do emissions here and they run it on a dyno up to freeway speeds. Well the day I went was rainy and my tires were wet of course. The shop was all wet concrete and slick metal of the dyno and you get a wild ride! The guy...

    Quick question on clutch install

    Reusable but not unlimited life, it's metal and can rust... My down pipe had 2 metal ring type gaskets. They were rusted and cracking, new ones cost a few bucks. Plus the down pipe to cat gasket could always use replacing if you have it apart... Then again, I'm the type of person that if I...
