  1. Toyota Finally Added OEM Wind Buffeting Deflectors??

    Looks pretty crude to my aerodynamic eye. I mean it may work but it's not exactly "elegant" is it. Phil

  2. Retro-fitting a heated steering wheel to the Supra

    Sometimes things like this are doable yourself at home. You can buy carbon fibre in small plates of varying thicknesses of 100mm x 100mm for example and make stuff like this on the bench. Phil

  3. RECENTLY BOUGHT SUPRA ENGINE PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE

    Depends who inspected it. A pre purchase independent inspection should have picked it up for sure. A dealer inspection, probably not. Phil

  4. RECENTLY BOUGHT SUPRA ENGINE PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE

    No it shouldn't have damaged anything. I've driven cars for years with leaking rocker cover gaskets that smoked regularly no dramas. Of course the devil is in the details but should be fine.

  5. RECENTLY BOUGHT SUPRA ENGINE PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE

    OK thats fairly easy and a million miles from a blown HG. I had pretty strong suspicions that the original diagnosis was wide of the mark esp when the issue is under hood smoke and the coolant levels are fine. You can crack the valve cover if you're ham fisted removing the engine cover I think...

  6. RECENTLY BOUGHT SUPRA ENGINE PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE

    Who said it was a blown HG? Phil

  7. Triple Seven CF hood vent installed

    I actually think it looks better back there. Now for some black aluminium expanded mesh on the underside and it'll be done.

  8. RECENTLY BOUGHT SUPRA ENGINE PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE

    Coolant is fine but it needs a new head gasket. Really. Interesting. Phil

  9. Finally a Tesla worth owning.

  10. Triple Seven CF hood vent installed

    You know if you really wanted to show some style and elegance you'd go old school like this. No warping, no hacking just a paint touch up. Fit them around the existing under hood structural elements and maintain the lovely aluminium hoods integrity and provide "some" practical benefits. So...

  11. Yet another oil thread

    You forgot to mention the no LSPI protection and worse cam chain wear properties of "SN" V "SP" oils. The advantage of SN+ oils are LSPI protection. The advantage of SP oils is LSPI protection and better cam chain wear protection. SN oils are 2 generations old now. Phil

  12. BMS Cold Air Intake vs. Stock airbox? Hurting performance or even the engine ?

    Nice. Where and how much? Same for the Supra under guard decals?

  13. So how much ft/nm of torque does the clutch of the manual supra hold ? Need to upgrade?

    The Germans have the dreaded TUV inspection every 2 or 3 years depending on the vehicle. It's totally draconian. So you arrive for your TUV on your bike and it might be say 20 years old. Everything on the bike needs to be as it left the factory OR any mods at all have a TUV certificate...

  14. Oil Drain Valve (UPDATE)

    If this is a possibility then the person changing the oil should probably leave it to someone more experienced. A torque wrench is the answer if your not sure of the "feel". Phil

  15. Oil Drain Valve (UPDATE)

    Not sure where you get the 1/4 inch figure from but even if it was the case and it worries you that much you can simply cut/grind the 1/4 inch off the threads and install it anyway. Easy. Technically you should aim for 1.5 threads longer than the female threaded component. The B58 engine like...

  16. So how much ft/nm of torque does the clutch of the manual supra hold ? Need to upgrade?

    Clutches are the most notoriuosly user sensative component in Clutches are the most notoriously sensitive components to user input in automotive engineering. One user can get 200,000 miles out of a clutch and the next 2000 miles. That's why manufacturers won't warranty them and forums are full...

  17. What did you do to your Supra today?

    A mans got to know his limitations. Phil

  18. What did you do to your Supra today?

    If the callipers come off you'll need to bleed the brakes. Unless you have these that is. https://www.triplexraceparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BK%2D9284BLK Phil

  19. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Buy yourself a rattle can of 2 pack paint and spray paint them yourself. 2 pack is very temperature resistant and an epoxy paint. The rattle can version has the hardener incorporated in the can assembly and you activate it and use then discard the leftovers. It's my go to for painting engines...

  20. HKS Catback Exhaust Break In Period?

    Or the clamps coming loose:)
