    Mobil 1 oil experience.... :(

    Either you got defective Mobil 1 or there's some other factor. As jdub said, sent a sample in for analysis to Blackstone.

    Never try to teach a pig to sing, it's a waste of time and it annoys the pig. 87supraguy, you're wrong. You're so wrong on so many levels that if you can't understand why you're wrong, there's nothing we can say to make you understand it. At some point in your life, you'll figure out that...

    Help

    There is really only one way for oil to get into your exhaust on a non turbo car, damaged internal engine components. Getting under it won't tell you anything, you need to start taking it apart. Start by pulling spark plugs and see if one of them is oil soaked. From there you'll need to do a...

    In my opinion, even the CT-26 needs a stay (and look! Toyota provided one).

    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    I can tell you from many years of experience that the amount of stress an unsupported turbo (especially the huge aftermarket turbos you can put on a 3.0 liter inline six) puts on the threads in an aluminum head is not a good thing. You won't find any modern factory turbocharger that doesn't have...

    Supra gaurdian angel?

    My MKIV hardtop has remote start and it's a manual trans. I never park in gear - ever. It's considered "unsafe" to install remote start on a manual trans, but I've had it this way for years and never an incident. Since it's a single driver car (nobody drives it but me) and I never leave it...

    Tec 3 ?

    You can make anything work with anything if you want to put enough time/money/effort into it, but I have to ask WHY? If you're trying to "save money" the TEC3 is not the ECU for you. Which TEC3 do you have? The TEC3, TEC3 6/12, or the new TEC3r? If you've got either of the latter two, why...
