Smooth the scratched area with Scotchbrite and it'll be fine.

Repair the car or don't register it. Your call. No engineer will pass a BOV or pod filter as they contravene EPA legislation.

Job is pretty much done, had a good buff, needs a final buff. And my effort with rubber moulding around the screen, rather than the uber expensive, fragile Toyota genuine mouldings: I also have these to go on, but they'll wait till the new year when I have some more spare cash for a...

Let me be clear, I am not anti guns at all, I believe people should be free to own for sporting purposes, but in a modern society they have no place in normal circumstances. Our country wasn't built on running out/resettling/killing outright numbers of native Indians or claiming two thirds of...

You're not going to walk into a mining job, even Australians can't do it. You need to know someone on the inside, these jobs are very highly sought after. Trust me, I know of several who have tried to get in, only to be offered bottom feeder work at $45k a year. As for gun laws, we don't need...

Check to ensure both master and slave cylinder are the correct parts. If the master is a smaller diameter or stroke, you won't get enough fluid movement for disengagement. Same with slave, if it's to large, not enough travel. Also, re bleed by cracking the hose fitting at the master cylinder and...

It needs to be pulled out or pushed out from behind. What I'd do is park a car with a beefy hitch next to the repair area and pull at the repair with a hand winch. Put good tension on the low area, then beat from behind with a heavy mallet & a block of wood ( so you don't mark the steel up too...

Look up escrow and escrow service. That's what Paypal is. Considering the amount of money Paypal has saved me over the years by allowing me to dispute transactions with shonky asshats, I'm more than happy for them to take their tiny percentage and hold money for a short time whilst they ensure...

You either need to do an oil analysis or strip the engine. Anything else is guesswork. I will add that I've owned more than one engine that has had used oil come out looking like that and they've lasted a good long time. If you get an analysis done now and follow it up with another one with the...

There's always the double gasket trick. Inline sixes always have exhaust manifold issues.

The whole point of a STRUT brace is for Macpherson/Chapman STRUTS, which DO put side loads on the strut towers. As we know, the Supra does not have struts. What also makes me laugh is the design of some of the strut braces out there. End brackets so weak that they would deflect under load etc.

There are those who think they know it all because they can use a search engine (like yourself and Nick M) and those of us who get out there and do it. The rise of the internet forum has also given rise to people such as yourself, full of half truths and misinformation, but hey, it was on a...

I agree with it needing a respray. That colour will never blend well into the B pillars, it's the nature of fine grained metallics. Same with the other touch ups. A cheapie roof respray would look bad from day one. Too bad it's not a solid colour, you could touch things up a lot easier. I hate...

BAM!

More progress. Sanded, car thoroughly cleaned and paint/windscreen adhesive purchased.

Buy a second hand cheapie. Your first bike will not be your last. I guarantee within 12 months you will buy a different bike as you decide what you want out of a motorcycle. Besides, you WILL drop it.

And finally primed! It can sit in the nice warm shed for a week or two and cure, then block sand and hopefully get colour on it before December.

Got the garage cleaned up and the car masked up, ready for primer. Tomorrow looks like a good day and so does Thursday, so I hope to get it primed very soon. Been working crazy shifts at work, haven't had time to get back into it.

The paint is gone. Save up to get the bonnet painted.

Inspired by other threads, I made my own intake. The rice resonates at certain frequencies and makes eleventy billion HP.
