I'm going with a seperate set of winter tires on sawblades this year, and I want to know what the best size for them would be. 225/50 is stock but there are only 4 options on Tirerack, whereas there are many more options going with a 205/55. Will the 205/55 size work for sawblades, or is there a...

About a week ago, the clutch pedal progressively began to lose feel, and eventually stuck to the floor. I ordered a new master and slave cylinder from Driftmotion, and installed those today. I began the bleeding process according to the TSRM, and it seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, after...

I was driving the car to class yesterday, when a really weird event occurred. Both the brake and battery light came on while in about 3rd gear, and have yet to turn off. As of yet, I haven't noticed any differences with the behavior of the car. It starts just fine every time I go to try it and...

There is a tiny crack that has formed in the top tank of my stock radiator, so I am going to replace the radiator. I'm also going to get new upper and lower radiator hoses, a new thermostat, and probably do a complete flush and change to Toyota Red coolant. Is there anything else that I should...

There is a tube that comes out of the bottom of the radiator that is dripping coolant. Its a very slow drip but its still there. The level of the coolant hasnt changed, and the system has recently passed a system pressure test. Is this tube supposed to be connected to something or is it...

I have a set of MK4 TT rims sitting in my parents garage up north that I want to mount up over the Thanksgiving weekend. Initially, I was looking at summer tires, particularly the Falken FK452 and the Yokohama S.drive. After searching around, it seems like people agree that summer tires are not...

So, I did an engine block test today. The first few suctions I got nothing but bubbles, but the last few times the fluid level went up and turned green. The instructions say that the fluid is supposed to turn yellow if there is a bad leak, but my fluid only turned green. Did I do the test wrong...

So I guess I misplaced the instructions to the block tester I bought. Am I supposed to start the car with the rad cap off or do I start it with it on and remove it after it warms up?

When I went to start my car this afternoon, a warning light on the lift side of the dash next to the coolant temperature gauge came on. It looked kind of like a filter, but I doubt there is a filter warning light. It stayed on for about 5 seconds and hasnt come on since. Any ideas?

So I went to go pull trouble codes to try and diagnose a high idle, and was suprised at what I saw when I opened up the cover for the diagnostic connector... http://flickr.com/photos/14742005@N03/2592356196/sizes/l/ At first I thought it was peanut butter but I'm pretty sure its some kind...

It has happen only a couple of times and it's only happened after the first startup after sitting overnight. Temp gauge has never been over half, but last night after getting it home I heard a gurgling under the hood and it looked like the coolant in the resevior was bubbling (looked kinda like...

I installed the new master cylinder today, but it got dark so I couldn't do a brake bleed. When I went to press the pedal the first time with the car off, however, there is no pressure. It goes straight to the floor. Did I mess up my brake booster or is it supposed to feel like that before the...

Every so often when I am driving, my brake pedal goes to the floor. It seems to happen at random every other day or so. Also, when stopped at a light, the brake pedal goes down incrementally the longer I'm on it. That doesnt happen all the time either, but more often than the other thing. What...

Hi everybody. I've been lurking here and trying to gain as much knowledge as I can. Over the weekend, I picked up my first Supra! Its a Dark Blue 1987 Turbo 5Spd with about 106k on the clock. The previous owner changed almost everything within the last year so I won't need to do much in terms of...

Hello. I have found a good looking Mark III for sale, but I would like to know if it sounds like a good deal. It is an 87 Turbo with a 5-speed and 106000 miles. HG has been replaced already and everything else is in good shape. Absolutely no mods have been done to the car and he has a lot of...
