As of late, after my spark plug/oil change, I've been getting lower gas mileage then usual. I used to get around 24 when I had Royal Purple with my NGK copper spark plugs. Now I'm running Autolite 3393's and Q 10W-30 full synthetic oil, and now I'm getting 20-21 mpg. But one thing that I do know...

Remember this muffler? Well, it's now put on my car, along with a whole new exhaust system. 2.5" piping all the way back to the cat, with a resonator, and angled out and pointed up muffler. The exhaust looks awesome, and sounds absolutely incredible, best sounding N/A I've ever heard...

On SF awhile back, Elmhurst Toyota had a thing where if you gave them your VIN, they would email you a copy of the original window sticker. I was too late by about two months, because they said they had just deleted old vins a few months back. So is there anyway to obtain a copy even if they...

My dads friend is giving me the gift of having a professional shop re-do my sawblades. I'm guessing they're gonna take off the old paint, then put on the coating of my choosing. I was thinking something along the lines of black chrome, but what do you guys think would look good? My car is...

I come out of work around 10:00 and this is what I come out to: It pisses me off, I'm still mad right now. They left no note, no card, nothing, fuckers. Luckily insurance DOES cover it, even though I have liability, so I'm gonna try to get a new paint job out of it. DAMN HIT AND...

Due to recent thefts/attempts in my neighborhood, I had to resort to buying an alarm (I wanted an alarm anyways, but didn't plan on getting one anytime soon). I purchased the Viper 350HV, which is security/keyless entry. I didn't wanna go high end with remote start and auto trunk pop, etc. What...

I had a dream that I went to a conveinence store to get something, can't remember exactly what I wanted. But I leave, and my Supra is gone. I freak out and everthing, but all of the sudden, my dad shows up and says not to worry about it, and that everything will be ok, and my car will turn back...

I changed out my spark plugs last night and gave my throttle body a good cleaning as well since I had to take it out anyways. I sprayed the throttle body down with carb cleaner, and scrubbed down the dirt and grime with a wire brush. All is well, put everything back in. I just now drove it not...

Working on the car right now trying to get things done. What spark plug gap would be best for an 89' N/A? I'm using Autolite 3923's. -Matt

I'm at a friends house, he has alot of tools, but he doesn't have a thing to suck all of the old brake fluid out of the resovoir. What would be the easiest way to change the brake fluid? I'm trying to put new fluid in. -Matt

How do you guys like it as far as the sound, and gains are concerned? I've heard it makes a big difference as far as your exhaust sound goes, and I've heard the gains aren't too bad. Did anybody notice any gains in gas mileage as well? MA70Supra has a Pacesetter header for $100 that is already...

For you guys that have painted your valve covers, what type of paint did you use and what did you do as far as prep work goes? I'd like to paint my valve covers with a black high-temp paint, but would like to know the prep work involved, and the paint you people used. I hear some require oven...

I put on my NA-T intercooler for fun tonight since I was bored, but I noticed that when I took out my coolant resovoir, the fluid/coolant inside was a very nasty dark brown. I look inside and realize there is a big chunk of rust at the bottom, have no idea what this came from. I loosened the...

http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/GotToyota/ *note these pics were before the lowering* I've done so much to this car, it's pretty much my love child, lol. I bought the car with 252k miles on it, bad paint, crappy interior, paint player that was hanging out. The old motor developed rod...

I searched around, but couldn't find anything. What are ways to clean a dirty cold start injector? -Matt

I'm about to do another oil change on my 7M-GE, which has about 53-54k miles on it. I've been running Royal Purple 10W-30 for what I'm guessing to be around 6k-7k miles, I could be wrong, but it looks pretty dark in color. I put in a Wix napa oil filter when I did the change, so should I look at...
