    Toyota MR2 Carputer

    http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/11/forum-find-custom-mr2-with-the-ultimate-car-puter/ Upon first inspection, MR2forum.de member LaroCroft's second-generation (SW20) Toyota MR2 is simply a tastefully modded example of a cult favorite. However, peer inside and all preconceived notions are...

    Engine undercover, replacements

    I took my engine undercover off and noticed that it is a flimsy plastic that doesn't full cover oil pans. Does anyone know if they make a metal undercover that covers all the way up to the transmission? The roads around here aren't that great, and supras don't have much clearance... my other...

    Loud Noise coming from engine

    I know I was being stupid, and I know I should recognize this noise, but I cannot undo the past, and I would like to learn. I went 120mph on the highway, and put the car into neutral to slow down. My Mass airflow sensor is bad so the car cannot idle correctly and it shut off at 120mph. I pulled...

    Spray Paint for bumper...

    I want to make my supra's bumpers look a little bit better than they do (with yellow plastic showing through). I will get it painted eventually but I am pretty much broke. What spray paint would look the best on JUST the bumpers.

    Mouldings...

    The mouldings (side trim) that surround the supra are coming off, and do not look that great, I was wondering if a body shop would be able to repair them so they look brand new (maacco says they can, but they are maacco.) If that is impossible, are there aftermarket custom mouldings to be...
