Hi all, I like the way the Tanabe Medallion Touring sounds, however based on having a look at the manufacturer's site (LINK), I'm getting the impression it is only for GTE and not GE cars. I drive a 86.5 7M GE. I can't imagine why they would put the note "Turbo" besides it, unless its for...

Hi all, (If this should be in the technical engine section, feel free to move it, but I didn't think it met the merits of being technical by the standards of people on SM). I have an 86.5 NA 7M with an engine that was put in from a 90 or 92 (again 7M GE). The both of them having 225,000 km on...

I am replacing the stock rotors with powerslots, pads with xbg low semi-met, the rubber line with Goodridge SS line, and i will be getting new/rebuilt rear calipers. I tried the search, but couldn't really find satisfactory answers. 1) Installing the front SS brake lines, i can't remove the...

Some jackarse(s) keep messing with my car, they've pretty much screwed up my lock barrel on the driver's side. The plastic piece surrounding the handle has large holes in it from them trying to part it from the door, in order to unlock the car that way. Some of these idiots have had success...

Hi, i've been wanting to do the fog light mod, but i dont know if the auto off feature of the car would still function (with the fog light). I know if i do the mod, i'll use the fogs all the time. I also realize i often forget to turn off the (rear) lights during dark days. So i'm just a bit...

Ok, so i connected the battery backwards. I'm justifying it on the fact that i dont have a hood strut, and have to hold the hood up with my back (i'm afraid of using a stick, that it may fall, the result of which would be a lot more painful than holding up a hood for an hour) I hooked it up...

When i was replacing the alternator, i dropped the nut down, so i had to fumble around all over the place to find it. Whilst doing that in the area under the alternator, i knocked this piece from whereever it was sitting onto the ground. Its 2 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm long. What exactly is...

I’ll start by explaining the current situation I find myself in. I’m not impressed with my car’s brakes and am willing to upgrade components to improve them, but am not looking at the extreme as spending a thousand dollars on an all-in-one aftermarket setup as it seems a bit...

on a 89 NA, further left than the temperature gauge, there's an orange error light in the middle (in terms of top or bottom). It looks something a garbage container, or something with vertical stripes. It only comes on (sometimes?) whilst my rear end is sideways, so its somewhat hard to really...

Hi, My steering fluid has been leaking for a while now, and it has recently gotten worse, so much so that i could finally visually see where it was leaking from. I've attached an image of where its leaking from. According to the service records of the car, the high pressure line and also the...

I have seen a lot of pictures of the rebuilds and build ups and it seems like a lot of the parts in the pictures are brand new and aren't taken off from part-out cars. Where exactly do you guys buy so much stuff without going broke? Pretty much anything you go to Lordco or Napa and they...

Hi, ok so i am a complete newbie, but am trying to learn about cars, that's why i bought the car, so forgive really stupid questions. Also, i will try to get my hands on a credit card so i can buy a toyota manual, which is probably going to be helpful. 1) i have a haynes manual and i can't...
