I have a 86.5 supra and have had a hole in my driver rear tail light since purchase. I had placed a small bit of aquarium adhesive over it with a small piece of plastic I had scratched up. It held up for awhile and was a little ugly, but it kept moisture and water out. I have a bit of extra...

So I've been wrestling with my car the last two weeks trying to figure out what happened to the brake system (more on that in a moment). The car was at my mother's and I only really get sundays to go down to her place and work on it, so really only worked on it two days total plus today. It's my...

I've been searching for a way to be rid of my airflow meter since my third one just threw in the towel on me. I've gotten two from the junkyard previously, but after visting several this weekend I was unable to turn up any cressidias or supras that had an AFM on them. I was poking around...

my speedo has been out for nearly a year. What originally happened was after my swap (spun bearings, just put in another n/a motor) I took a trip to Tail of the Dragon, on the way up there the heat cycles caused the header to two-pipe nuts to come loose. This exposed my engine bay to the...

I just replaced my clutch and I finally got the tranny back in the other night. I went to crank it and it fired up fine then died off. Well it was late so I decided to come back tomorrow. Turns out my intake had popped off when I propped the block up with a piece of wood to make it lean back...

what's normal? I see 40 at cold startup (I'm using 0w-40), 10-20 at warm, 40 at speed (3,000 + rpms), 4k-6k still see 40 the only time I see above 40 is when I drive on the highway for 20mins or more (then it will creep to 60). It was like this on my previous motor too. Normal?

when I engine brake or drive the car in reverse I get a scrapping noise that sounds like it's coming directly from under the middle console. My guess is on play in the drive shaft or some drive shaft component. Can anyone help me pinpoint it?

So I am very scared. I had a motor with rod knock, I replaced with with one pulled from another car with 78,000 miles on it. I've thrashed (I drive hard) on it for probably 20,000 or so now and I keep a very close watch on my oil levels (it's probably been about 3/4th up from the bottom of the...

I was worried that I had BHG again, so I did a little research and found what is contained below here. With my BHG before I experienced boiling coolant in the reservoir and temp spikes. Right now I am experiencing a rise and fall of coolant level in the reservoir without temperature spikes...

So when my car is cold I have this rather annoying squeak comming from the front passenger side (best I can tell). It's dependent on the speed of the car and not rpms and when you come to a stop the noise will stop. So I know that it is not a belt. It does not sound like a wheel bearing...

ok so, some of you may remember me from replacing my engine because I spun bearings. Well recently I went through BHG with the jdm motor (that I neglected to change the hg in because I'm an idiot and did not heed warning). So I put the old head from the motor with trashed bearings and a new HG...

I have the ever so fun BHG and I am looking for suggestions for a good machine shop south of atlanta (I am in Stockbridge) to deck the head and possibly do some other head work while it's off. I need somewhere that knows what they are doing but will not attempt to rape me and my bank account...

So I spun some bearings in my old motor (NA), swapped in a jdm one(also NA) (replaced main seals,cam seals, water pump, timing belt, timing belt tensioner,cam cover gaskets, oil pump, but we did NOT do headgasket which was dumb). We had slightly lower compression on #2 and figured maybe it was...

Hi, well the car is an 86.5 N/A 5sp supra. I recently spun two rod bearings, so I cheaped out and bought a JDM motor which looked pretty good on the inside. The swap went pretty smooth until we went to start the car, which it doesn't turn over at all. My friend decided to "help" me finish up...
