    I noticed that at the bottom of my radiator support (the center piece that unbolts) there is a sensor. I've searched and haven't come up with an answer as to what it is. Anybody know? Thanks. I can provide a pic if needed. Adam

    Just curious, who here has moved away from home only to have to move back in with your parents to save money? The times are tough and it's really easy to get deep in trouble financially with credit cards and such.

    I need to break the crank pulley damper bolt free on a 1JZ that's in my parts car, but there isn't a trans attached nor a starter and I don't have an air compressor for which to use a badass impact on. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

    Should I keep my parts painted or go back to black?

    All the parts that have been painted blue are a very close shade to my body paint. These are the strut tower rings, the cam gear cover, and the spark plug valley cover.

    PacNW Supra Nationals in B.C. Every Year?

    I spoke with Duane earlier about this and we came to think that having PacNW be in B.C. every year would be a really good idea. By keeping it in the same location every year it makes it easier for people to plan for (passports you lazy Americans) and can help make it grow better. The turnout was...
