    Deed Restrictions on property

    Another question worth asking is, if there is no HOA, who is going to enforce the covenants? Without some enforcement mechanism, they are toothless. If the city doesn't have an interest in them, and there is no HOA, who is going to bring suit against you? If it's "collective action" amongst the...

    Deed Restrictions on property

    Both the satellite dish prohibition and solar panel prohibitions are void under US federal law and are not enforceable. HOAs can adopt reasonable rules as to where on a homeowner’s property solar & dishes can be installed, but they cannot prohibit them wholesale. As above, I'm not a...

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    As I've said many times, the weak link in the MKIII more often than not is the owner. Other than the incorrect headgasket torque spec, the car is an engineering marvel. It was well ahead of its time.

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    Those widebody fenders. It was the 1st thing I noticed when I bought my 1st off the lot in 1990. It's a beautiful car, still is to this day.

    My First Car

    Gavyn, It's rare to see one in this pristine of a shape. That's one hell of a find you have there. Take good care of her. Beautiful car.

    First oil change on Mkiv

    More stickies: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?42763-Conventional-Oil-Filters On my MKIV's, I use Royal Purple 5w30 synthetic with a Purolator Pure One filter. I change the filter every 4,000 miles and the oil every 8,000 with samples sent to Blackstone Labs at every change...

    First oil change on Mkiv

    And your point? You asked a question I answered it. If you're doubting the veracity of what you're hearing, I'd suggest you read the stickies in this section, specifically: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?38811-Motor-Oil-Basics-Reading-a-Data-Sheet-and-Synthetics...

    First oil change on Mkiv

    5w30 synthetic is just about perfect for a 2JZ-GE. If you run something high quality like German Castrol, AMSOil, Royal Purple or Redline, you should be able to do a filter only change at 4,000 and run the oil for 8,000 easily.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Actually in my experience the advanced timing helps quite a bit performance wise with this mod. However, whether or not it's safe is another question entirely. Lexus AFM cars seem to be more prone to destructive detonation, and I suspect this is the cause. Would be interesting to do a side by...

    Cell phone thread

    You're probably right. For someone like me (trying to run multiple businesses at the same time) it increases my productivity tenfold, but I can see where the average Joe might be distracted by it if it's considered a "toy" and not a tool.

    Cell phone thread

    Actually, I understand both sides. In my experience, most people who aren't enthused about smartphones (I didn't used to be) just haven't had a good smartphone. I found most of my time owning a Blackberry frustrating. It almost was useful, but most of the time not. The iPhone was the 1st...

    Cell phone thread

    I've got an HTC Aria for personal use and a Blackberry Torch for business. I had an iPhone3 for personal prior to that, and everything the iPhone did, the Android phone does better IMO.
