    Winter's coming, where can I learn to tame my supra?

    This is perhaps a question that almost every supra owner has pondered at one point in time...or maybe not. Either way, winter is coming and I want to learn how to drive my supra like a pro. Drifting, doughnuts, 360s power slides, everything. I already know how to do most or all of that, but...

    Antenna Wire

    It's probably too late now, but just thought I'd throw out there that I use the power antenna in the down position and get fine reception. Every now and then I have trouble picking up a station or get a little static but it's not too bad. Most of the time it's perfectly clear. Just in case...

    N/A Supra vs. V6 Firebird

    Suprajztwenty. Yeah, I know it is, but as slow as my car may be, its still faster than 80% of the cars out there. Cailbers, basic civics, basic neons, etc. That's why I wanted it. I got a sick deal on it and heck, for a first car its not bad eh? I still have a little fun in it. But please...

    how to change a seal in rear axle plz help

    Autozone will rent you a slide hammer for free with a deposit. They said my non-lsd differential takes sae-90 and sae-80w90 below zero but it doesn't really matter. I'm pretty sure any of the above listed will work. Mine was leaking out of the same seal. I don't think it's leaking much at all...

    Am i missing something? Please Help

    I just did my head gasket and i had a similar problem. It died at idle. It turned out to be a vacuum leak. I would check all your lines and sensors. Also, did you move your distributor? that could definitely mess up your timing. If you took the throttle body apart then that could do it too...

    Mishimoto Radiator Question

    No idea on the mounts. I don't know enough to give a yes or no on the rad cap, but personally increasing the pressure that much just sounds like it's going to put even more stress on the already delicate head gasket. If you're running metallic id imagine you're fine. Also, are there any pros...

    My heat stopped working...brr

    That sounds good! ill do that. Thank you! But why would it stop working now though? it was like mid 70s the whole time it sat. Could it be that because it sat for a week without coolant in it it dried shut or something?

    Cigarette Lighter

    I'm not sure if it's anything like the dome lights, but the connector on my dome light housing corroded at the rivets and wouldn't work a lot of the time. I ended up drilling out the rivet and soldiering a piece of wire in each one instead. Has been working perfect ever since. I don't think...

    bhg job. head bolt won't break loose. please help.

    The title pretty much says it all. I'm halfway through replacing my headgasket and bolt # 6 will not break loose. We tried an impact wrench and now we just snapped off the 10mm hex bit. I'm really worried the bolt is going to snap help would be great.
