    half a bhg?

    didn't realize there was a cap under there, i checked the manual but must've missed that one. is that on the passenger side of the block? i reached back and on the very back of the block (right against the firewall) i wiped oozing oil/coolant from it, i assume it was between the head and block...

    half a bhg?

    Using flourescent oil dye with synthetic oil

    picked up one of napa's bottles of dye (1 oz). there aren't any instructions on the bottle, so i suppose i should just add the entire thing to my crankcase?

    better gas mileage?

    thanks for the tips i suppose i would feel more foolish to ask the mileage question if i had recently bought a supra at today's gas prices, rather than 3-4 years ago. i had also hoped to get a few links from this thread that would direct me towards CNG/LPG conversions and other options that i...

    better gas mileage?

    questions: what are the mileage increases from switching to alternate fuels like CNG/LPG, is the cost feasible? are there other options to switching fuels, such as running on fewer cylinders or running less rich like JJ suggested? and i didn't think i was complaining, just looking for anyone...

    better gas mileage?

    have any links so i can learn about the other story? i've found a few, didnt know if you had any choice links. i doubt that a piggyback fuel controller like the safc could give the range control what i'd need it to, and if it did i guess need to use a wideband

    better gas mileage?

    i know that e85 is worse, but if i could find a source cheaper than gas i'll take it. i know ij made a kit for his supra, but it was all handmade.

    better gas mileage?

    hey all, searched and couldn't find a complete answer to what i was looking for. is there any drastic way to increase gas mileage (beyond cleaning the fuel system/driving it easier) like shutting down a few cylinders while cruising or even switching fuels? how hard is it to switch to...

    Using flourescent oil dye with synthetic oil

    they make dye for refrigerant, coolant and oil. i asked at autozone and they didn't have much of anything, but napa had all the dyes readily available.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    the .22lr isnt a glorified .22 rifle, it's the rifle. anything else in .22 (the .223, the .22-250, and so on) is centerfire, so it'll have a lot more bang. if you want an all around rifle that you can bring down deer with (with good shot placement), look into a .243.
