Follow Supracentral's advice! Coolant type is not going to "solve" this issue. Overheating is a serious threat to the 7m engine, be very careful. I had overheating issues with my car when in mountainous country, or on the freeway for long periods of time. I don't know what all the previous...

NO! Go home! You have turned your back on your bretheren!! ;)

I know we are throwing ideas around, but really, the last two Indy meets at winged warrior were a success. You got 22-25 cars to show up, thats pretty damn good for a supra meet. I don't know why there were no sups racing this year, but last year an mkiii raced an mkiv. An mkiv did autocross...

Can do webpage, I have pics from last KYana meet. Just let me know what info you want on it. Suggestion: post to mkiii general discussion. I'm sure some ohio folks would be able to make it! I can only make it Saturday. May even run my car if its running good. It occasionally has what...

How much do you get in bed for? :naughty:

They don't cost that much to maintain. The cost comes from the fact that they are 20 yr old cars, and stuff starts to wear out that doesn't fall under maintenance such as the steering rack, brake master cylinder, oil pressure gauge, bushings, sensors of all types, and lots of weird electrical...

Now IJ, you told me you had Lasik surgery..now which is it? Welcome to the girlz club Karen. We are few and far between on here. Piece of advice: keep a toolkit in the car at all times. Add oil and fluids if you are going out of town. And stay away from the turbos - once you drive one, you'll...

Check your grounds. Even if they "look" good, pull 'em, put some steel wool to the contact points until they shine. The auto tranny has a ground wire on it that you can get to from under the car (not sure about the 5spd). There is also a ground under the console. I cleaned the ground under my...

My odometer is incorrect as well. But that won't cause me to get a speeding ticket ;) I did follow this write-up, but couldn't get the needle off the face of the speedometer. In fear of breaking it, I decided to just move the needle down. Now I have a spare gauge cluster that I can practice on...

I think its a feature, not a bug. We took three supras (87, 89, 90) to Indy for a meet, all three cars had different mileage on their odometers. Mine was off the most from the other two. I did some testing, my car is 85% accurate - when it says 100, you are doing 85. The faster you go, the more...

Not all MK3s came with ABS. Check your insurance policy to see if you are getting a discount for ABS. If you do, and your car doesn't, then you may not be covered in an accident. They probably wouldn't check unless there was bodily injury involved. The ABS is not problematic. After 20 years...

and make sure you put them back on with something other than those crappy phillip head screws. Either an allen head or hex, something you can put a bit of torque to. I did this to mine and they still worked their way loose. So get a light weight thread locker in a tube and put some on the...

Get your car appraised and properly insure it. The only way to truly cover your $ss.

I just replaced the radiator in my car, and I probably got about a gallon of fluid out of it. Now there was some left in the hoses when I unhooked them, plus in the engine block and heater core. I flushed the engine block while the radiator was out and found fluid in there plus alot of crap...

I get the impression that the majority of the time the thief knows the car and knows the owner. Especially so in LilMissMKIII's case, and the car on the east coast that was sitting in the back of a garage with the engine out of it. This means the thief can take the time to study the situation...

Goodbye 4 cylinder Altima, hello v6 Maxima! Had to get rid of the Altima, it got me stuck twice last winter and it slips bad on wet pavement. The Max has traction control, and I put it to the test when I test drove one in the rain. It would slip for a moment, then the TCS would kick in and the...

Pay your girlfriend to do it. Small hands and wrists FTW in this situation ;) Tell her to wear an old t-shirt. And tell her the oil will wash out of her hair. After about two washings.

I'm hoping and praying my car doesn't have a ::bhg:: I need some opinions, here's whats happening - car has had a small coolant leak for the past year. Birdcage light would come on about every 2-3 months. I took it to Gatlinburg, and I got a birdcage light after we arrived (we crossed over the...

I'd get a second opinion.

I had to trim my new targa seals with scissors. I trimmed only the part on the targa itself. Once cut, my seals matched up pretty well. Better than what you are showing in your pictures. I wonder if you have the original targa top that came with your car? There are two places that could be...
