    Which way is better in a race

    Bah, signs of a rank amateur. Now if he side steps the clutch at the same time... ;)

    Ive just about had enough.

    Car with a popped engine isn't worth much. The other bits won't bring up the price when it's got a lame leg. Generally, you'd make more money parting it out... but in your case, seems like a lot of the coin is into the body itself, so even that is going to be a significant loss. I'd be...

    1000hp everyday driver

    Can't be done. If someone can view the picture, they can copy it as well. Anyone who tells you different is clueless.

    Alright, Television Q

    QFT. I've had really good luck with Sharp as well, and it's easier on the budget. If I could afford it in the size I wanted though, I'd have gone for a Samsung.

    question about new wheels and big brakes

    Why the 7.5 inch width? Our cars are wide enough for an 8.5 in the front, and a 9.5 in the rear... if you've got it, why not use it?

    Help!!! Cant find oil pump for a 7mgte ahhhhh!!!!

    Furthermore, if your local dealership can't get it, I'd be willing to go out on a line and pronounce them incompetent. Have you tried Champion Toyota out of Texas or Vancouver Toyota out of Washington? We know both of them are competent.

    Putting in a fuel pressure gauge is simple... disconnect the line to the cold start injector and put a gauge in place instead. Takes literally minutes.

    To John + Jeff.

    I should know better than to click these threads just because DT was recently in them. Sometimes stalking just isn't worth it.

    Bi-Xenon HID non flipup retro

    Are you aware of the challenge with using separate high and low beam projectors with HID lights? HID lights, due to the way they wear, should be turned on and left on, or turned off and left off. So, having a separate high beam that needs to be switched on and off regularly is not good. The...

    ZANKOKU or KAIZEN

    Jose rescued us at SILV... Randy had destroyed his radiator, and we couldn't find another one on a Sunday in Vegas. Jose called, he had one, we asked him to same-day air it to us. He says, "Well, Vegas isn't that far away... I'll throw it in the trunk and drive it out." And he did. Hand...

    8 cranks to start when 1/2 warm: fact of life?

    Are you applying pressure to it, or vacuum? Try using a clear hose on your hand pump, start the engine, and check to see if fuel is leaking through into the line to your pump.

    Nope, don't hate the person, hate the actions. Many people will need to part out a car at one time in their life. You, however, appear to be making it a career choice! ;)

    Radiator "Popped" on Auto Supra, Does Auto need cooler?

    The thing to be afraid of is too much pressure in the system, and the radiator being the weak link. Too much pressure is caused by the engine running too hot, or the head gasket being toast and cylinder combustion being forced into the cooling jacket. It's easy to check... a block test, or a...

    Radiator "Popped" on Auto Supra, Does Auto need cooler?

    Pick up an external tranny fluid cooler and zip tie it in. They are only ~$15. It'll hold long enough.

    Engine hoist wont go up all the way?

    Look for a plug that you can unscrew. Some of them unscrew the part that you loosen to lower the jack. I've never seen one that was at all difficult to figure out.

    Heat proof stickers

    Last time I got color stickies printed, there was a $75 minimum. Single color was cheaper, but I don't recall what the minimum is, I'm always getting bulk orders anyway.

    Or PM 92teal. I'm sure he'll find another pristine late model Supra, buy it, and decide to part it out in the next week or so.

    Speedometer Problem (Always reads 0mph)

    Wrong section, thread moved. Nice thread title, too, that should get you lots of attention. Possibly not the kind of attention you wanted...
