Hey SM, i have developed a problem within the last 2 weeks with my brakes being really squeeky. At first I thought that it was from the wear indicator but I took off the wheel and saw that I still have "some" pad left(15% life). I did see however that the brake support plate(see pic below) (I...

This is one bad ass sound 1g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXJmFurOX5I and I like my exhaust errr lack of. 2j on stock twins with 3'' open Dp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK9h-xXRnYM

they do make rebuild kits. however there are parts that can wear out and be useless, iirc if the rack housing is scored/worn in anyway its worthless. You also need man SST's to rebuild the rack.

yeah im afraid that its not just a simple lube job. I only have 78k on this car so finding a unit with around the same miles will be tough

Both parts are new from toyota

So when the car is very cold, I have an issue with the speedo having a mind of its own. I head a slight grinding noise and and the speedo will shoot all over the place. The Speedo cable is brand new (2-3 months old). Im thinking its that the actual speedo , maybe the lube in the speedo is old...

Hey all, like the title says I got a free set of brembo's off an friend and I have a couple of questions regarding them. He said they needed to be rebuilt and id agree but I have no experience with rebuilding calipers. I know this isnt supra specific but id like some input on the subject. My...

lol right now the car is still together, im trying to have these sleeves cut before ripping things apart. If the coolant nipples were in any sort of good shape i would just measure it the good ole fashion way.

happen to know the ID of the stock coolant tubes? Mine are in bad shape and cant get a decent measurement off them

Hey all. I have a problem with my PS. I just replace the pump and after I bled the system. I jacked the car up and went full lock left and right a couple of times. The fluid level didnt really drop too much. BUt its up the the appropriated line. Now the problem happened when the car was on the...

Hey all after going all winter last year w/o heat because of a bad heater core I finally sucked it up and got a new unit. I want to have everything for it before I start taking everything apart. What I was hoping to find out is what size are the O-Rings that seal the heater core tubes? do they...

3 runs, its a make shift track at an idustrial complex. You run to one end then turn around and run the other way. Like I said, no steam, no boiling over, just the temp gauge rising.

How bad? Like I said, it wasnt boiling over nor steaming. ill be picking up a temp gauge and installing that along with my wideband ASAP so I can make sure that im not leaning out. Also, Ill be doing a full coolant flush and re-filling my clutch pack( for the fan) with the new fluid. In time ill...

please dont do this, I see a thread in the future asking why his crank bolt is seized.

yes. it normally sits at a tick over half normally while driving

Takes about 10-15 minutes to hook up a flywheel and started. Just hook the starter up to a battery then jump it to crank it over. Test then. Id still do a leakdown though ;)

The rad cap is 2 months old. I dont have the shroud under the car, maybe its time to make one out of some sheet AL i have laying around. Whats your take on making a duct from the front nose( where the air enters the rad/ic)? I was thinking that since im pre 89 and dont have a split nose, I can...

So last night I decided to beat on my 2jz mk3 with the stock twins at a local strip. I did 3 back to back hard runs( balls to the walls kind of driving) and I noticed on my last run that I was running warm. When I say warm, I mean that the temp needle was at 3/4 the way up(not into the red and...

this. I know a few High HP guys (800rwhp+) getting 25+mpg on the highway. They stay out of boost and they lean out the tune too. I think its called lean cruise or something along those lines.

fixed the brake pressure problem just to have another. I pushed the pistons back in and put the caliper back on then bled. Some really dirty/dark fluid came out then clear fluid. Brake pressure has been great! now I get a bad shimmy in my wheel when I brake, i think I have a sticking pin. I was...
