    CAD programs?

    SketchUp now by google is a free program which is actually really versatile. With that said, you do have to buy the retail version if you want to export files for use in other 3D programs.

    Oil Leak between timing cover/head patchable?

    Slide is the wrong word to use...it is in there pretty good, and you need to remove all studs and basically peel it off so the rearward edge breaks contact with the head gasket first. Installation is just the reverse, but can be a bit tricky as well.

    if you like the abandoned stuff, check out www.englishrussia.com It gives an unbelievable look at countless relics of the soviet era. I've always wanted to spend time exploring in Russia and this scratched me right where I itch.

    Anyone into C++ progamming?

    bah, I was forced to take a similar class, and have not used C++ since. Off the record, I may have done a few assignments in "groups". Had I not, I probably would not have passed the class all those years ago...

    Oil Leak between timing cover/head patchable?

    it really isn't that hard. You just have to remember to apply the FIPG when reinstalling as per the TSRM...or you'll be doing it twice.:sarcasm: I've done it twice.

    Got rain water in my Supra, should i remove the carpet?

    As the others have said, remove the carpet and dry everything thoroughly ASAP.There are quite a few rubber grommets that you can remove on the floorpan (and underneath the car) to aid in getting rid of the water.

    oil pressure too high

    Are you using a mocal oil thermostat? IIRC, they changed the design of the thermostat a few years back and the latest install instructions do not apply to the old design (bolt head position specifically). I'm not exactly certain of the consequences of installing the thermostat incorrectly, but...

    Replacement Rear Body Panels

    It should all still be available from toyota. I bought new rear outer wells (the fender well has two halves) for around $180 each. As for the quarter panels, I had a member on this board (tubbie) take them off a rust-free parts car of his (by drilling out the spot welds) and send them to me...

    Question on OEM springs

    I suggest you do some in-depth reading and understand what fatigue actually is. It is not the degradation of the mechanical properties of a material. It is the initiation and propagation of cracking due to the application of cyclic stress. In the case of steel, this stress has to be greater...
