    Cars Totaled....

    I talked to the total loss department yesterday, and told them I would not accept either offer, because it does not come close to puting me back where I was before the accident. After them telling me there is nothing they can do about 4 times and me explaining (calmly) why they are wrong...

    Porterfield pads to thick

    I have had porterfield slotted rotors with r4-s pads for 5 years with no problems. today, I had my rotors turned, and I went to put on new r4-s pads and they are too thick. All four pads look to be the same thickness, but I cant even get the caliper over the rotor with the outside pad in. I have...

    Starting problems

    I believe my starter has gone bad, but wanted to see what you all thought. The problem is sometimes the car will not crank after driving it awhile (hot). First I thought it was the battery but jumping doesnt help. So Ive checked the connections. The first time after playing with the connections...

    Ever get mad at the previous owner of your car?

    I was pretty sure the car had a boost leak, and guess what I found.... The previous owner duct taped the hose going to the bottom of the turbo instead of replacing it lol.... brilliant

    AC questions

    Turns out that there were more than one problem with the ac like a thought. The climate control was bad, so I replaced it with one from a 87 na. So yes all climate controls work together 87-92 na and turbo just like you said poodles:) The reason the good control was not turning on the ac was...

    AC questions

    yeah i know they look different, and that both have the same plugs, but is there anything different with the wiring or anything else? I know my amplifier is good, and compressor. The problem is the climate control isnt cutting on the compressor, but my 87 unit isnt working in there either which...

    AC questions

    Hey guys, I have a 1990 supra turbo and the ac isn't working. The car is at the shop but there are some issues fixing it. First, we are pretty sure the climate control unit is toast. it tested bad, and I put it in my 87 turbo and it did not work. To clarify, there is no difference between 87-92...

    Clip in brake hardware kit

    okay well I have no squealing so far. I went to get new ones, but they were not in any of the brake hardware kits (from advance, auto zone, and napa). I wonder if I can get just the anti squeal plate from toyota.

    Clip in brake hardware kit

    thats what I thought also. I ended up puting it together without the plates because the ones I have were kind of rusted. Anyone know if this will cause any problems?

    Clip in brake hardware kit

    I just put new rear rotors on and brake pads. The clips were still good so I reused them. How important is the thin metal plate that goes on the back side of each pad and between the caliper. It doesnt really clip on, it just sits there I think. Does it help put even pressure on the pads or...
