    Ashtray Cupholder 1987 Supra.

    Not an option. It looks a lot like the Cressida cup holder that popped out. Retrofit from something else. I have not laid eyes on the Cressida cup holder since....1993? See the big gaps on the side? That is because he took out the ash tray that it came with.

    Heater Control Valve & AC Performance

    Of course it does. That is why the valve was installed at the factory. It was not installed to make manufacturing costs higher. Take a look at the layout. Even with the door closed so air is not forced over the heater core, the heater core is still inside the box at 200 degrees...

    Why Toyota discontinued parts?!

    I was watching some car show on TV. This is a while back, so not Velocity (sucks anyway). The interviewer asked at the midway booth does he think there will be a day when there will be more Honda rods sold than Chevy. And he said they already are. I think it was Crower. This is more than 10...

    Why Toyota discontinued parts?!

    Because Ford sells more Mustangs in 4 months than Toyota sold Supras in its production run. It is a niche vehicle.

    Why Toyota discontinued parts?!

    Because in 1991 Toyota could only sell 2500 cars, and in 1992 they could only sell 1500. Or something like that. Of course, they missed the market and made mistakes. Many companies just "cut their losses" rather than fix what was wrong (price).

    Just another 7mgte idling like crap and missing under load

    That is a clue. However, nobody can see your car but you. I say that because it is your first post.

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    I almost forgot. Ethyl alcohol and glycol oxidize and becomes acidic. Inhibitors help. But it still happens. And with an iron block and aluminum head in an acidic solution, you now have a battery. If for some reason you still run Toyota factory red, change it according to the service schedule...

    That is part of the problem. It brings up the bullshit even faster.

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    It is to reduce vibration. Why would grounding it to the body possibly be bad anyway?

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    Make sure your condenser flows air and is not plugged. If you have a condenser. A few degrees adds many BTUs.

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    Don't grab the fan, pulleys, belts or anything else while it is running. I work in automotive. I know too many people who have 9.5 fingers. You should be able to feel airflow with the hood up, no questions asked.

    Why do all the dumbasses at Wal Mart talk the most?

    Seriously. Do I just beat the odds in the people that cross my path and want to talk about my car? Congratulations, St Peters Jungerman Wal-Mart. You hired at least one millennial buffoon. Remember the movie "Step Brothers" with Will Ferrel and John Reilley? Dale Doback says a bunch of stuff to...
