Mustangs are the same, terrible rear suspension. :oops: Phil

Less lead in the right boot. Phil

Yea which annoys the hell out of me. Along with the radio on the mechanics favourite radio station and the a/c set to their preference. Not just an isolated dealer either. I fail to understand why you need to change the radio and a/c setting when you are servicing a car. More time focused on the...

I think this is usually referred to as a "first world problem". What do you want Toyota or the dealer to do about it? Respray the door? Even if they did a spray repair you need to paint an area of the door many times greater than the damage to blend the new paint with the old for the colour...

Are you sure the sensor remains powered all the time? A lot of cars don't fully power down the BCM and other modules completely for sometimes more than an hour after you turn the car off and lock it. This is why when doing a parasitic drain test in a Ford you need to leave the car off for at...

Who actually sends you the "it's shipped" email, Toyota Australia or the dealer I emailed Toyota about when my car may arrive as people here ordered around the same time as me and have had notification and they referred me back to the dealer. Apparently Toyota Australia know less about build...

Ok cool, thanks. I ordered on the 12th of January. No word from Toyota yet, nothing since the order confirmation. Phil

What was your order date? Phil

What about "GR Povo pack addition" for those with the 2.0L :) Phil

I have one of these and have checked their calibration and they are accurate. Well mine is anyway. Phil

Sounds like you cooked the pads. They will never come back to what they were but you can remove some of the surface glaze by removing them and dry sanding the face on a piece of glass with same 100 grit wet and dry. Checking the brake fluid as suggested would be a good idea as well. as suggested...

Well that sucks. Being polite and doing the right thing you get screwed over. Phil

Thats why I'm the guy parked "way over there" in the boonies in the car park. It's not fool proof but it mitigates some of the risk. Some car parks I just avoid due to the narrow spaces and or narrow roadway that means people reversing out of spaces need to be inch perfect. I'd rather just park...

Hears an interesting fact. Water meth injection was first developed along with Nitros oxide injection by the Germans primarily during the second world war to improve the performance of fighter aircraft via a HP boost. When Methanol stocks ran low in Germany they used Ethanol instead and when...

20 years ago I bought my ex wife a new car. Naturally I had the responsibility of keeping it maintained and cleaned inside and out because, well "it's just a car "apparently. After one week I'm cleaning the interior and there's toasted Vegimite ground into the back seat fabric by the kids eating...

All pretty minor after you've see what a 5kg bird does to a high bypass gas turbine at take off power on climb out. Phil

Now some may also understand why the moaning about "my shifter feels notchy and mechanical compared to my last manual FWD car" falls on deaf ears and with a wry smile to us "older" members. The shifter is connecting your hand directly to the gearbox internals not via some isolating cable so you...

A Honda Civic type R? If so the Supra has a shifter that's directly bolted into the trans and one a shifter bolted to the chassis and connected via a cable most likely to the trans. FWD V RWD layout. A man needs to be able to answer these questions to the GF. Phil

It's not about bearings it's about the long term affect of cooking engine oil. Stop the engine and stop the oil flow and lose 20% of the cooling and hello heat soaking the engine oil trapped in the high temp parts of the engine like around the exhaust ports and the turbo turbine bearings which...

Pretty average colour no matter what the lighting in my opinion. Phil
