    "Exhibition of *excel*eration" ticket question...

    The way I described. Hire a lawyer, tell him you want to avoid moving violations and points and that you're willing to pay fines. He'll plead it down and will work a deal with the solicitor. You'll never have a trial, it will cost money, but your record will stay clean* *= this applies to sane...

    Corn?

    Well Theresa? Does the 91.89% approval for corn force you to admit that your insane hatred of corn is abnormal?

    It's the tail lamp failure light. If the lights work, then the tail lamp failure module has failed.. (Yea I know...) Info here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?46770-Tail-Lamp-Failure-Module-Information

    1990 Toyota Supra Turbo Buildup - Satans Little Helper...

    That's an oxymoron - almost all parts store brand thermostats are cheap crap with horrible quality control. Next time you buy one, put it in a pot of hot water with a thermometer and see when it opens and closes, you may be very surprised by what you see.

    Bad Turbo ??????????????

    Don't confuse spark knock (detonation) with rod knock (worn out bearings) - they are not the same thing. The knock that is referring to is detonation. You can read about that here. Detonation on a turbo car is catastrophic and easily results in broken pistons, ringlands, rings, blown...

    Cup Holders

    We use these a lot in the MKIV's (You think you have it bad... MKIV's don't even have cupholders...): http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car+accessories/interior+accessories/folding+cup+holder.do We generally mount them on the kick panel so when they unfold they are flat on the floor next...

    Bad Turbo ??????????????

    Go back a few posts, and follow the link I posted. By replacing the bearings, you attempted to treat the symptom, not the problem. That's the problem. You have a blown head gasket or a cracked block/head allowing compression into the water jacket. Moreover, the reason you likely had failed...

    It appears some of the files have been moved around on the server - probably to screw up people who hotlink his images and steal his bandwidth. Just delete your bookmarks.

    It's a fun way to deal with a grim topic, doesn't matter if it's zombies, or hordes of starving people from the nearest city, the prep work is 99% the same.

    1991 Toyota Pickup 4x4 BROKEN HEAD BOLTS

    I agree with that (ditching the V6 they are really crappy motors), however it doesn't answer the question. Removal of head bolts should follow the specified torque pattern, just barely breaking each one loose, then following the pattern to ease the strain and distribute the load by loosening...

    Corn?

    So Theresa hates corn, in all of its forms. I've told her that this is somewhat odd for an American and that most American's like corn. She does not believe me... From the natural corn on the cob: to the over processed canned mexicorn: She says it's all vile and horrible... So what say...
