    Burned out lights

    Are the bulbs on your climate control burned out or is the L.E.D display blacked out? If it's just the bulbs you can take it apart and change them. They are small wedgetype (either #194 or 74) used commonly in speedometer clusters from what I remember. If the liquid crystal in the display has...

    Where to get Dynoed in So. Cal

    I'm looking for someplace in the Orange County area to get my car dynoed. There are a few places I know of locally, but I have no prior experience with them. Most places are asking around $75-100 for a two run baseline dyno. Any suggestions of a good place to go would be greatly appreciated.

    The lexus motor is featured in LA museams!

    Jibby, When you say La Auto Museum do you mean The Peterson Automotive Museum? Just making sure because I don't remember seeing anything like that there last time I went.

    Newly Installed Front Bumper

    It looks a bit off because of the lack of sideskirts. In person it doesn't look raised. It looks quite low actually, but doesn't scrape on driveways. Still has a little clearance on a steep incline driveway that even my tailpipes scrape on. Anything that hangs lower than this would be destroyed...

    What would you do if you see this car behind your rear view mirror?

    Would probably nearly rear-end someone while looking in the mirror scratching my head still wondering if that's intercooler on a Tundra. Looks very nice, any more pics?

    Fuel Economy estimate?

    Getting 400 miles from a tank on one of these cars is definately not easy, as the motor can be a thirsty one. If you floor it constantly in race conditions expect about 8 miles per gallon [ouch], but with average city driving 15-17 mpg is the norm. When I take the 300 mile trip to Las Vegas my...

    Tranny Failure

    Sorry to hear that. Some bad things end up being good things in the long run. Were you using any transmission cooler? Just curious.

    Head Unit Help???

    Yeah, the factory audio systems can be somewhat problematic. Remember these cars are nearly 14 years old and most of these parts haven't been touch at all since installation at the factory. I had a similar problem where the factory amp just stopped working altogether one day. Everything would...

    Newly Installed Front Bumper

    I didn't much care for the overall look of the side skirts and rear bumper. Not exactly the look I'm going for, but I do like the front bumper so I bought it a while back. Im deciding on either just getting OEM sideskirts or finding something that will work well with the front. Yea it's a...

    Supra Brake

    Yea I definately think the fronts make a BIG difference. I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort and money to change the rear calipers as well. Also did you upgrade the master cylinder or is stock ok? Lextreme, Im assuming the caliper stickers are made of vinyl. Are there any heat related...

    Supra Brake

    What would be the advantage, if any, to installing TT REAR brakes? Has anybody done this on their SC's? Or would just upgrading the stock parts be a better way to go?

    Newly Installed Front Bumper

    It's not bent it just kinda looks that way in that pic. The bottom edge of the bumper curves upward in the middle as it was designed to use an additional lip, but I didn't really want it because it would get broken on curbs, driveways etc. I did all the installation myself so it cost around...

    Newly Installed Front Bumper

    Just installed Extreme Dimensions Demon front bumper. Fitment was poor from the beginning. Extensive modification was nesscessary around high beams. No pre-drilled mounting holes and material had to be added in order to attach it securely.

    Clickclack on startup

    I've recently had a problem similar to this. When starting the car it makes a fast clicking sound. I figured this was the solenoid, so I checked the battery terminals and cleaned them. I checked with a voltmeter and it's getting a good ground to the engine block, but still this problem persists...
