    just a quick question concerning pricing things..

    Honestly a clean Supra that is knocking will not go for any more than $1200, at least here in the Midwest. I picked up my clean running stock turbo Supra for $1000 it had pretty good hail damage, but was great besides that. It only has 80,000 miles on it now and it had 74 on it when I bought it...

    Differential filler plug location

    On the back of the pumpkin. Get under the car and look it is that simple. It is the little rubber plug on the diff. Hard to miss. Use the container that most companies package their rear end fluid in to fill it.

    Got offered $4500 take it in run ?

    I personally would not do it. The only reasoning for selling and starting over for me would be to get a car that is already 2j swapped, but needs work. That way I would be doing everything over again, since I don't trust peoples work. Besides that in my situation, I am going to keep my car, and...

    What maintenance would you do immediately after purchase, no matter what?

    Head gasket ;) Start out with all the fluids (engine, trans, diff, coolant with toyota red coolant) You should always do a compression test before buying, and a boost leak test after you bring it home to ensure it is going to be running to its full potential. If the clutch is slipping then yes...

    Slotted rotors

    http://www.cquence.net/ I would recommend everyone check these guys out. I bought my dimpled and slotted rotors from them, and my ceramic pads from them. They have been on about two months now, and they perform very well. They are custom made when you order, so they will take maybe a week and a...

    picked up a dirt cheap supra

    Funniest thing I have read all year. Honestly Zach, you are going to want to tear apart the whole engine, go through it, and reassemble it just to make sure nothing is damaged. If you have had any doubts of any water in the oil at all, please for all of us just pull the engine and go through...

    picked up a dirt cheap supra

    Lol no :icon_razz But congrats, post up some pictures for us to take a gander at, and good luck getting that leak tracked down. The throttle body has a coolant hose running to and from it make sure those aren't leaking also.

    Remember Aloshan?

    Must have found out that his skills are more inclined towards Hondas. (I use the word skills loosely.)

    Occasional backfiring in between shifts

    Mine runs real lean around 3500 right as I am going into boost, and I try to take it easy until I can get a proper tuning screw in (tomorrow when I get it back). I back fire quite often, and it is a lean back fire not rich, as I have a wideband and it is reading real lean.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Got my powersteering leak fixed finally, and also fixed the drone my car was having by replacing my gutted cat for a test pipe. Now it sounds great. I can't wait for my brakes I am ready to drive this thing again.

    how do race cars prop themselves up?

    Very true. I never trust hydraulics anyways. My old diesel instructor always told us to never get under anything with only hydraulics holding it up. It is dangerous, that is why bobcats have the bar for the bucket if you need to work on it, and why hydraulic hoists have a set for when they are...

    Honestly I think you are lucky you didn't break off the tap in there.

    Good argument. I myself am planning on going standalone this year, so it is not a worry.

    Feeler on 7m 1ZZ coil Bracket

    I would love something like that for when I go stand alone. If you guys do it, I would be in for one. Is there a way to manage the wires for the coils on it?
