Strange things found while working on Supras.

I found 45cents and screws that belong on the car somewhere. Nothing strange, but all those screws and change were in the "push to open" flippy thing behind the shifter, and I'm geussing because of the screws, that compartment is all oily, like motor oil oily. Also the center console behind the lumbar etc controls smells like old man cologne inside.... It's gross, makes my car seem 50 not 24.

shit tons of cat hair. I have yet to pull the dash and carpet to get in there, as well as clean out the air vents...
I had the original jack in the fender well, and the original owners manual with first owner's information and who sold it, from 1988
Mind you this car had 229K miles on it and was through about 4+ owners when I bought it

Hmmm.. First soup found a screwdriver. Found an ipod shuffle in my celica. Nothing much in the current soup other than a gym membership car to some place on the other side of the united states haha.
REALLLY old looking philips screwdriver and flat head screwdriver.. some change.. random screws and such.. speaker grill covers for unknown speakers.. (they were square).. ONE used leather glove.. eveerything seemed old as if no one has driven it since the early 90's
just picked up an 87 n/a auto parts car...during first inspection before i bought it i found a couple sockets in the engine bay, on the under panel...small but only the beginning for me lol...got my first supra about a month an half ago.

NEGATIVE... they come out when you OPEN THE DOOR after the car has sat IDLE for awhile, and you first go to work on it again WITHOUT taking your wasp-killer RAID spray with.
Been there, done that... unfortunately, on a multiple time a season basis for several years. They ALWAYS come back and re-nest, and they also like the rear hatch lip area.
Yellow-jackets are a real BIATCH for sure!:icon_evil

Might explain some of the 7M problems though.
LMFAO!!!!! You just made my night!
I took apart a 4a-ge one time and someone had replaced about half the shims with quarters.
Took it apart after I got it running because it had a very noisy valvetrain.... LOL
