    3 Engine Lights ? Alternator

    I just did a search for this all over SF and SM and I'm pretty sure that those three lights on means that your alternator is bad or going bad.

    Took my Supra Road Racing

    Last weekend I took my 7M supra to Willow Springs raceway. It was my first time on the track. I think I did pretty well and I learned a lot. I did not have any big problems but I did keep loosing coolant, it kept boiling out of the overflow and I had to keep filling it up. My supra was all...

    Weighed my car on corner scales

    yeah, it should have been 3501 sorry, and, the numbers add up to 3502 but the numbers i wrote down for the corners is what the scale read. I think the 1 lb difference is due to rounding each corner. Anyways, it was free to get my car weighed.

    Does your car have its own theme song?

    Mine is the "Fighting Man" song that is in Transporter when he goes into that one mansion and kicks some ass.

    Weighed my car on corner scales

    I went to the race track this weekend and they had corner scales so I decided to check it out. This is an all stock 1990 Hardtop Turbo 5spd. No weight reduction and the spare tire was left in the car. However, I only had maybe 1/4 of a tank of gas. It came out to. Front Left 968lbs...

    Quick Question (in the middle of HG retorque)

    So, I finished my retorque. I also put in some Autolite 3923s and the Supra Sport valve cover hex Bolts. It took me a full afternoon but it was worth it. I'll be taking it road racing at Willow Springs in 2 weeks so I'm trying to get her in good condition. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Quick Question (in the middle of HG retorque)

    I did a quick search but I couldn't find my exact answer. So, I'm in the middle of my head gasket retorque and I'm going in the TSRM sequence. However, for some of the head bolts, the cam shafts are in the way. To get them to move I need to move the crankshaft, correct? However, I am just...

    Axle boot question

    I noticed that my rear passenger shock had alot of gunk on it. In fact, the entire area was covered with the stuff. I think my axle boot has a puncture in it letting some of the grease out. I haven't heard any noises from the axle yet but I still think I should replace it, better safe than...

    Hatch will not open

    My latch near the drivers seat has never really worked so I've been using my key. This past weekend my friend was going into my trunk to get some tools and the key turned to the right and then got stuck that way. I tore apart the trunk and took the lock mechanism out but I couldn't get it...

    Shock problem

    Yeah, I had a gap. When you pushed down on the car you could see the middle nut rising and falling back down. Anyways, I fixed it this weekend. Here's how I did it: I took out the shock. I tried to use a towel and vice grips on the pole but it still kept turning. I compressed the spring and...

    Whats your system?

    I just set up a pair of Pioneer 4"s in the front and they fit perfectly and a pair of 4" pioneers in the hatch (facing up). i left the 3.5" (or whatever) ones in the rear seats there because they weren't blown and they were open air. They are supposed to be open air right?
