Long story short, this: Driving first thing in the morning and fog/condensation on the outside of the windshield lead to me not seeing a vehicle stopped for turning left. I had cleared the windshield already with the wipers but had them on intermittent and by the time they came across...

It's a bit of a read, but well worth it. A story of a man who just wanted his new game controllers for Christmas... http://penny-arcade.com/resources/just-wow1.html ....and the followup.... http://penny-arcade.com/resources/an-update1.html

Monday I watched the Supra that I've loved for the last 4 years drive away with someone else in the driver's seat and his name on the title. I know I won't be able to have a car anywhere near the caliber that the Supra for a long time if ever again, but at least I can say that I've been there...

Just something I'm curious about as the car's done this since I've owned it. Basically on a dead cold start, if you sit in neutral and rev to 2k, it feels like I have to "push" it to get it beyond there. I don't ever rev past 2.5k until I see 160*F on the coolant temp, so don't worry, I'm...

I picked up a female end CPS connector to replace my current one that just fell apart on me but I didn't realize it didn't come with pins. The old one is destroyed, what kind of pins do I need to fit in there? I tried taking it to a local parts store and they weren't much help. Are they...

Just curious if anyone else has this or what. Basically if I go for a good hour long + drive, get the coolant temp up to 195F~200F, when the engine fully cools off I get the waterfall sounds like there's air in the system. Goes away within 5 - 10 seconds and doesn't show up again (unless I go...

Just curious what the plan is if the weather is as the forecast says it will be? :( http://weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-81_metric_e.html

Just curious as to whether a leaking (recirculated) blow off valve would cause similar symptoms to a boost leak. I noticed just last week that my blow off valve was making a funny noise when I had it up at full boost over 4,000rpm and shifted. I'm going to take it off and clean it up...

I'm trying to figure out something that's going on with my transmission. Basically 2nd gear for some reason recently is harder to get in to, specifically when the tranny has been warmed up (it's actually perfect when it's cold) and more so shift down in to 2nd. It feels like I have to pull the...

So here's the deal. I was going to do a wheel bearing that was long overdue and the bearing decides it likes life inside the hub so much that it didn't budge with the press almost maxed. Having put too much time in it already, I had to look for other options, so I went calling around to...

Just a curiosity question. My car and the 3 other supra owners (or former owners) I know all burn a little bit of oil between oil changes for as long as any of us have had our cars. I personally don't add more than MAYBE half a litre between oil changes (every 5000km/3125mi, 3 months max) to...

Just noticed the other day that my dipstick wasn't seated all the way down in to the holder (sitting about 1/4" up, but still in place). I know this is typically a sign of over pressurized crank case, so I figured I'd see if I can make it do it again. Took it for a good run and checked it...

So I was driving home with the defrost on and my fan kicks out. Go over some bumps and it kicks back on again. Most of the way back and it starts smelling like burning, so I turned off the fan and pulled in to my driveway. I took out the fan resistor (the usual culprit for blower speed...

Just curious about installing a higher capacity fuel pump (such as the walbro) in to the stock system. Would I need to change anything with the J-tube or get a different fuel pressure regulator or is that stuff all fine until you go to a 550cc injector setup? The car's going to be up on the...

Got a thread going in off topic. Just thought I'd link it to the local forum where it took place ;) http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?138813-Pictures-from-Cellblock-D-local-drift-event

Didn't know where to post it so I figured off topic was safest. Just thought I'd put some pics up from a local drift event I was at this last weekend. Mostly Nissans, but a few AE86's ripping up the track. Sorry there isn't more variety in cars, first time out with the camera in a long time...

I know, it's not a Supra, but it's part of the roots of the Supra. Was at a local drift event this weekend and saw this beauty in the parking lot... 1970's Toyota Celica (and no, I don't know who that is in the background) If for some reason you want a higher res picture, I've got them...

Was just poking around a bit and found this. Figured I'd share it in case anyone hasn't seen it yet :) http://www.importtuner.com/events/impp_1101_pnw_supra_meet/index.html

So I went to retorque my exhaust manifold studs yesterday because I'm just waiting for my turbo support brace to get here and I find myself with one stripped hole (stud spins). It's the second last one to the back of the engine, so I MAY be able to get in there with a drill without taking the...

So last month I replaced my front calipers because the left side was sticking really badly and any attempt I made at resolving the issue lasted to about the first stop sign. Put new calipers on, flushed the old fluid out and put in some new DOT3, and everything was nice and happy. I notice...
