    First signs and ways to tell if you have rod knock??

    Will not get a code 52 from knock. It's a short circuit/electrical problem in the knock sensing circuit only. (wiring, sensor(s), ECU- in that order)

    First signs and ways to tell if you have rod knock??

    Aside from the standard rod knock test as Ian stated above, check to make sure everything is tight. Check the pulleys (especially the crank pulley), motor mounts, brackets, etc... There are a lot of things that can cause a knocking sound.

    Epic Posting your address on the Interwebz FAIL

    I have pondered this for at least sixteen seconds. Conclusion: I agree!

    Strut Tower Bars...

    Agreed. I doubt even that would do anything. The firewall is just stamped steel. Any load that would potentially flex the towers enough for the bar to actually do anything would probably just tear it right out of the firewall. Want rigidity? Cage the car like the Group A Supras. THAT will...

    Mo's 1991 Supra 500 rwhp Build-up (Long Overdue!)***New Pics on Pg.6&7***

    Jeez man, way to update your thread! (yes, I'll be Mr. Pot, you can be Mr. Kettle). Brief update- I've had Mo's front bumper support/steel crash bar for a while now. I've been delaying the project of welding it up and boxing it in because I hate cutting with cutoff wheels on my air tools...

    New Retrofitsource FX-R Projectors

    Build yourself a vacuum table and the possibilities are endless. It's pretty easy, actually. I've got a good how-to bookmarked on my home PC. I'll post it up later.

    New Retrofitsource FX-R Projectors

    Dave, you've still got them!? Crap! :( I'd have bought them from you in a heartbeat if I'd known you still had them! Edit: My reason for doing a retro in the Pickup, is because I did a full OEM FX35 retro in my M3, and when jumping back and forth between the two vehicles in the summer, it made...

    New Retrofitsource FX-R Projectors

    I'm dead in the middle of a 7x6 FXr retrofit for my Pickup. (uses the same headlights as the Supra) All I bought from TRS was the projectors, though, as I had everything else already. They're awesome to deal with for sure. I've got my housings modified already, just need to adjust rotation of...

    Another code 52 nightmare

    Mike, Did you buy the rewire harness from me, or secondhand? (I don't see feedback from me, and I don't usually forget to leave feedback.) Regardless, if it turns out that somehow it has failed due to my craftsmanship, I'll repair or replace it for you free of charge. Just shoot me a PM. I...

    Mk3 supra sub frame & targa braces

    The bracing on Group A cars was tied into the roll cage, thus making it worthwhile. Frame connectors on these cars don't do anything. The MKIII is already a stiff chassis. If you want a stiff chassis, stitch weld and roll cage. Added on "Bracing" is doing nothing but adding weight.

    Rear tire wear on my dodge dakota???

    Before jumping to any conclusions, have you checked that all your tires are at the proper pressure? I do realize that the picture you posted shows more wear to the inside of the tire, but that center tread screams "overinflated" to me. Ever do the chalk test? Draw a straight line across the...

    Use of amorall!

    I used to use Armoral on everything, then switched to Meguiars. Now I use Aerospace 303 and it's the best for sure. (And I don't get that nasty residue on my windshield like GrimJack mentioned. You want your windows to be wicked clear? Here's what I do: 1) Wash window with just some...
