    What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

    I topped off the power steering reservoir with windshield washer fluid on my last Supra...

    Oil Sample Report

    Oops, misread what you wrote there. I changed the oil because I'm moving to Tucson soon and I'm not sure when I'll be able to change it again. Yeah, those look like my filter, so I probably have the AEM. What's the best way to clean one of these? I don't have any oil left from the change...

    Oil Sample Report

    Okay. So I should probably change it earlier? The head gasket was replaced. It was found to be leaking in 2003. From the records looks like it was replaced at Marietta Toyota, Inc. in Georgia for almost $2000 (wow). From the invoice, it looks like in addition to the head gasket they...

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    My Supra is dark red (burgundy) with black rims: If you saw mine then any chrome on the rims was actually paint flaking off. My Supra has intake, downpipe, exhaust (looks nearly stock), lower intercooler piping, BOV, and Tein coilovers. I'm planning on leaving today, but I'll have to be...

    Oil Sample Report

    I just got my oil report back from Blackstone Labs. Apparently my lead count is a bit high... I used the same oil in my oil change, should I wait till the next change to try a different oil? Anything else stand out here?

    P.Northwest location?

    I'm in Oregon for another month. Recently it's been pretty windy, though usually it just rains a lot.

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    Saw you again today at 9:15am on Monroe headed toward campus, your car sounds great! :) It sure has been raining a lot today, I wouldn't have wanted to be driving in it. Then again, I was soaked when I got to my final despite my umbrella...

    Another Corvallis Spotting

    Welcome to the forums! The 1992's are rare, check out this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59425 Tomorrow is my last final ever before I graduate, so I'm not going to be in Corvallis much longer.

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    I don't think you'd want to brake-check in the world's best braking car that costs about $10k to fix if you impact something at 5 mph. Those fiberglass clams are expensive to replace.

    What spam filter do you use?

    QFT I use Thunderbird's built in spam filtering. It's a learning filter, I believe, and mine catches about 99.9%. I can't remember the last time I found a false positive.

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    Most the people on the Lotus forum I'm on know the Elise/Exige has the 2ZZ engine. I get the impression that very few talk on their cell phones while driving. Their is a good portion who take their car to the track regularly (non-dragstrip).

    For those who speed/race or go fast.

    My Supra feels rock solid up to 130mph+. 145 mph felt a tad light, but not much.

    Best way to transfer files

    My first suggestion would be over a LAN. Next would be to physically put the hard drive in the other computer. Then I'd suggest a USB drive or external hard drive. You really should have a USB drive anyway, they are so cheap right now.

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    Yeah, because the Lotus guys are always bragging about how they can beat us in a straight line... :sarcasm: You should have said "guys with Celicas".

    Between 160k and 165k here, I think.

    new computer

    There is the Mac Mini at $600, but a cheap laptop would be nice too. Apple does try to avoid making products for the low end.

    new computer

    That is a myth. For the same specs Apples are not necessarily more expensive. One example: http://kurafire.net/log/archive/2006/04/25/debunking-the-price-myth-apple-vs-dell Even if it were more expensive, Mac OS X is worth it. I became much more productive when I ditched my $1400 Dell...
