    Tail Light Gasket Sealant?

    I just traced the light with general weatherstripping from the hardware store. Used the black high density foam, 3/8w x 1/4 tall. Cost 14 bucks, no leaks. It is important on where you start/finish the seal, and how tight you make them meet.

    Driving music - My demo cd - Download & comment

    I'm listening to Congo Bongos right now. I enjoy it very much, but I think my House taste helps that alot. You do a great job of introduce changes gradually rather than throwing a new twist out every minute and a half, I find that annoying. Thanks a bunch for the free DLs, made last summer...

    So N/A guys, why exactly are you N/A?

    I as a Turbo Supra guy- Its the dissappointment I get when I'm driving around and see another Supra on the road, usually going the opposite direction, and as I watch and turn in my seat to see if it has the Turbo badge on the rear and seeing none, thats where my instant excitement dulls a bit...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    You've got the right idea. Now the trick is to balance out pulling fuel with the Maft and regulator. Quick recap: The idea behind the Lexus AFM is to allow more air through the engine without hitting fuel cut. If you don't add 550cc injectors, you'd run rich. Taking back mainscale on the...

    Heater Core O-ring Sealant?

    I know it's a pain, but please pull apart the dash and solder the ends into place on the heater core like IJ. says. BG sealer is only a band-aid and won't hold out forever. When you do solder, there is technique to it very much like welding: 1) Clean surface, no foreign debris, oxidation...

    Door window weatherstripping

    I've spent hours trying to find out how to get OEM weatherstripping that goes on the body for the door window to body contact, aka from the door jam up underneath the rain rail and down next to the exterior plastic side valance/vent. Pulling the EPC p/n and inputing it into the search for the...

    Heater Core O-ring Sealant?

    lol Crazy as it sounds, I put my business' reputation on the line when I wrap o-rings with a layer of teflon. I'm a plumber. 80% of the time it holds water pressure at 60psi for extended(years) periods of time. Its usually a last ditch effort. I personally had to do this on my heater core...

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    ^When I first got my supra, another local here who had just purchased an '04 RSX began to scowl at me, and we had gotten along fine til then. Maybe it is a gene thing like suprahero says... And though you lost IwantMKIII, that must've been fun

    Working on your Supra Thanksgiving morning...Hells yeh!

    ^Exactly like my set up, except that just put the jack arm in the bay with the bag. Also, where the cut out of the ply wood is there was a stand to support the plywood, I relocated it to the rear most center spot by the spare tire well due to the 3 screw holes that mysteriously fit the same...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    I bet your cams are not timed correctly (blowing boosted air right past the still open exhaust valves at time of fire) and the CPS advance is making up for the difference in overlap in order to idle. Just a thought. And because I want to help Reset your base timing: crank pulley to 0*, cam...

    Thermostat Housing Question...

    Buy some paper gasket material to trim out for the thermostat housing because the rubber gasket that goes around the thermostat itself is not enough!
