I actually sold her, just when I finally had her dang near perfect... I am now at club lexus, as I have a 00sc400, and an IS350 now a days. The IS350 is pretty bad a$$ out the box, and the SC is cool too. I am really going to miss the Supe, what a great car she was. A mega thanks and...

I bought some stuff from Aaron, and we miscommunicated about one of the items, probably my fault, but the guy stepped up and threw me a more than fair price for the item. Just one more example of how cool this dude is... My first beer tonite, heck, right now!, will be a toast to Aaron, Mary...

Greetings, I have pretty much decided to sell my bone stock, two owner, 91 turbo, auto, 145K miles and buy a Lexus SC. It's black, and the hood and top of the drivers door has faded to primer. But the rest of the car still looks pretty good. My question is do you think I would be better...

I couldn't find out how to get to the actual oil gauge to change it out. Before I start unscrewing every last screw I see, I thought I would ask if there was an easy way that I'm just not seeing... It seems like it's between the circuit paper and the white plastic. I've already removed the...

Hi, My oil pressure gauge quit, so I'm assuming I have to pull the cluster? I have changed the sensor already, and have determined that wiring is sound. I have searched for about an hour now, and found very little. I was hoping somebody could enlighten me on how to proceed with replacing the...

So i replaced the sensor on the side of the block, which required quite the effort, put it all back together again, still the oil pressure guage is dead. Is there a fuse or something electrical? I am so frustrated I feel like driving it into the ocean! thanks for any help...

I saw a couple of lines of water leak this morning on passenger side carpet. One looked to be coming out from the plastic just in front of the door, and the other seemed to be coming from under the dash. I searched for heater core issues, but never really could find out for sure just exactly...

Hi gang, I have a weird water leak that I have to assume is the water pump, although I can't really see exactly where it's coming from. It seems to be coming from under the water pump so that is why I'm going with that. I got a used but theoretically perfect unit from a fellow in here for a...

From the top, I pulled the normal crap and tried to take out the oil sensor with a claw wrench, I had a long extension, but I couldn't unturn it for the life of me... So, I still have no oil pressure..:icon_evil FAIL But, while there, I did change out the CPS o-ring, and that was a win, it...

Resident newbie stupid question 3. If a water pump goes bad, shouldn't the water be coming out of the little hole on top of it" I apologize if this is stupid, but from what I remember about the old chevy / 60's cars, this was how you knew. I don't see any water coming from there, but it's...

The oil sender is the goal, I have a replacement in hand. A while back when I went in there to change the 90* hose another member suggested I fix something in there that leaks oil a bit, but I don't recall what it was, anyways, if anyone has any suggestions of things to do while I tear...

I found this hanging on the motor below the intake stuff. Looks like some vacuum hoses hooked to something that also has an electrical connection to it. It also has a bracket with a bolt hole, giving me the impression it should be attached to something! It also looks like there is a broken...

Here is the loose connector I found that the mechanic didn't connect.. Is it the oil pressure sensor??? Wires are yellow, and one has a black stripe, two of them, the connector is gray, and looks to have a miniature orange colored seal like a mini o-ring or something. I guess I should...

I keep my supra bone stock because I like it as a daily driver. Even though I just had to drop $3K into the bhg. I got the car (91 turbo with 116,000 mi) about 3 years ago now for $4500 from the original owner. Its super comfortable, i put a decent bluetooth radio in it, and it's just fast...

So now that I've had my car back for a little while from the POS mech, I am finding other little things that never existed pre-mech. The scratched up fender where they leaned over the car, the gaping to the metal scrapes down along the base of the door, not to mention the oil sender that...

So I finally get my car back from the bhg getting soaked for more than I care to admit to after all said and done, and I notice the oil pressure doesn't work. so I take it back and the dude tells me the sender is bad and he'll need to hit me a couple hun to buy a new one and install it. I...

:: angry :: Is it stupid to go with oem head gasket tourqued to 75 lbs? I don't want to pay to pull the engine to deck the block. Am I getting hosed? This also includes plugs and a bunch of new hoses and gaskets etc...

Cruising to work and "BAM" the car shudders then suddenly loses power and barely runs. Fortunately I was just exiting the freeway, so I was able to limp it into a gas station. Huge billowing white steam, but I had no idea where it was coming from. It looked like it was coming out of the coil...

Around town and at lower speeds the car is very normal, but when I;m going 70-80 down this long hill on the freeway, when I hit the brakes to slow down, the car goes into a heavy shuddering and shaking that is kinda scary. I took it to a brake guy and he told me everything looks OK, but I don't...

Is there some hose or something behind the thermostat housing, or right below it? I took off hard the other day, only to hear a big gooosh, and see a big white mist behind the car as a bunch of water/coolant exited the vehicle in a hurry. I pulled her over and had her towed home. I took off the...
