    Test drive and have grinding noise ?

    Poodles and CyFi6 are right, the wheels should spin if off the ground and the car is in neutral and running. I would be more worried if they werent spinning.

    Rod knock or noisy head?

    If you want useful advice here, you should list everything you have done to the car since you bought it, as well as any info you may have obtained from the previous owner. This would include what this rebuild you performed consisted of.

    Dear Supramania,

    Scott, Thank you for your kind words. I know this sounds like a fairwell. I pretty much vanished from here for a while. I wanted to let everyone know that I appreciate them, and they are not forgotten. I am not gone though, just busy. I still have the supra, but it still lacks my time and...

    How to beat speeding ticket in VA school zone?

    The prior ticket hurts your case, not helps it. If he thinks you're speeding and you just paid a speeding ticket, as far as he's concerned you haven't learned your lesson. If the road signs support your argument, document them (take pictures). Appeal the ticket, dress nicely, and go explain...

    Need bodyman's advice. Punk kids fucked up the GF's car.

    Suction cup straightened everything out, I was somewhat pleased with the outcome, she was very pleased. Cops had zero interest in the incident. I know Ian, unfortunately we always run short on parking. I'd say the circle is bad luck, but it seems inescapable as the "greater circle area" is...
