Would you like me to deliver you some fairy dust while riding my unicorn, too?

I'd be willing to bet that Toyota torqued the thing down to factory specs. Worst case, buy a torque wrench and recheck it when you get it back.

Err... shoulder check? Admittedly, I've been driving Supras for at least a couple decades by now, so maybe I'm just used to it...

If you don't plan on modding it, use factory bolts & gasket at 72 foot pounds of torque. It'll virtually always need machining, so count on that expense.

Spend a lot of time at a body shop, then get a new paint job.

Could be worse. One of my roomies back in the day decided to nuke his muffin, but instead of 60 seconds, he put it in for 60 MINUTES. Everything in the house smelled like burned muffin. After months of cleaning, we gave up on the microwave, too, didn't matter what you cooked in it, it always...

How do you figure? Unless you've magically got boost at idle, I don't think that's possible.

That's why *I* own the car. :D

Fixed my 3rd brake light. Before: After:

Today it was time to fix the 3rd brake light that's been annoying me with it's dead diodes. I can now say that this job can be completed in about 9 hours, including time for the new silicone to dry. Here's some pics of the process... The annoyance: Spoiler off, 3rd brake light out...

Did this recently start? Or has it been like this for a while? Did it happen on it's own, or did it start after some work was performed on the car?

I have a Samsung Omnia at the moment. It's been ok, but comparing it to the wife's iPhone, it comes up drastically short. That's what I get for sticking with Microsoft and buying a windows phone, I guess... no market share means apps are hard to come by. I'll make certain I try Android before...

And the newest addition...

I have one in the garage somewhere, but I don't use it on the car, at least not yet... maybe after I finish the HID headlight conversion. I keep threatening to put a couple magnetic tool trays in it for when I'm working on the engine!
