    Randomly stalls at idle and at drive

    This likely isn't your problem, but I'll mention it in case this thread is found by future searches. My random stalling issue was CPS internals on their way out. Swapping in a different CPS fixed the issue entirely. Unfortunately, I'd just spent a lot of time replacing all the seals on the...

    Fluids are disappearing... Help me find where they are going.

    Nope, the overflow tank hose doesn't leave a puddle. It pushes out coolant when it initially gets hot - meaning, while you are driving. It sucks in air as it cools down after you park it.

    1st Time Home Buy - Any Real Estate Agents around (Tips/Etc)

    A few more things... Get references for the home inspector. Check them. Nothing sucks more than giving money to a man who missed a critical defect in the property you purchased. Talk to the folks who already live there. Getting along with them is a big part of buying a house. They also...

    Fluids are disappearing... Help me find where they are going.

    The lines to the overflow tank can cause this as well. They are not pressure lines, so a small crack is easy to miss and generally doesn't get worse fast, like the rest of the system. This includes the line in the overflow for the pickup at the bottom of the tank. What happens is this - when...

    "Exhibition of *excel*eration" ticket question...

    There is also another factor to consider - cost. Not the cost to you, but the cost to the system. If you simply roll over and pay the speed tax, the state has collected from you the cost of the tax, and invested the cost of the police officer for 15 minutes, his equipment, and probably another...

    possible causes of "rod knock" noise

    Compressor wheel is possible, but I wouldn't rank it very high... usually that thing is spinning so damn fast that any kind of interference sounds like a high pitched whine. The other common causes of rod knock like sounds are loose bits - specifically the flex plate / flywheel or front main...

    Fast Five

    At the very beginning, when the guy in the charger cuts off the bus and the bus promptly takes a shit and rolls over, I'm thinking - how the hell do you justify the physics on this? That's 2 tons of car fucking with 50 tons of bus! Then I realize it's a message. Don't think about it, just...

    solid motor mounts

    Agreed. I've STILL got solid mounts on the 7M car, it's never suffered much from vibration, and it's never rattled. I always put stuff together with locktite anyway, so maybe that helped, I don't know.

    Offical: 2011 PacNW Centralia Meet & Greet - May 14th! (Saturday)

    We've always had a smattering of 'other' cars show up, that's fine. Just don't be the combo breaker and park dead center in the middle of a big group of Supras!

    Dashboard removal and installation

    I didn't remove mine, just removed the two big nuts that hold the steering column up, and dropped the whole thing straight down.

    Dashboard removal and installation

    It's just tedious, really. It's a lot easier if you pull the front seats. Then pull out the cluster, the glovebox, the little piece that holds the climate control, disconnect the wiring harness from the kickpanel, and remove all the bolts / screws that hold it in, then pull. After it's all...

    Offical: 2011 PacNW Centralia Meet & Greet - May 14th! (Saturday)

    If we're going to descend in a mass on the poor Mexican place for food again this year, it would be kind of us to call and warn him a week or so in advance. I'm in for Mexican food, too. Can't get any decent Mexican food in Canada... well, at least not easily.

    Deep lip rims front and rear?

    It's not the looks that's the problem, it's the fact that we can put FAR wider rims / tires in the rear that we can the front just due to space.
