Guest tony1979 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Well having my first weekend off for a while, thought i would spend some time doing the small jobs on the supra ive been meaning too do for a while. Oil and filter change New steering wheel Brake pads all round New exhaust system Dying the carpet black New touch screen cd player New panel filter Refurbing the headlights (in the oven they go) And if i get the time change the spark plugs. And thats my weekend all sorted, bliss. Just hope the weather holds out, i wish i had a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice list of jobs! I'm going to check the o2 sensor, check the gearbox mount to see if it's worn, probably clean the stuck on brake dust off the front wheels and give the car a very good clean (not that it needs it!)

Supranature Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Good luck with the plugs if its NA- right PITA. If TT, be very careful with the coil packs and connecters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony1979 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 NA plugs are easy once you have done them a couple of times. You'll need an extended 12mm socket to get the nuts off the throttle body. Good luck. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 You can still keep yourself busy by doing the CD player, fitting the steering wheel and refurbing the headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't surprise me as it's the middle two that are the problem with the throttle body.

Josh Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The only jobs I actually did was to mess with the spark plug cover and lose my tool in the engine bay. That and I just took the grille out of the bonnet scoop and sprayed it black again as it was chipped from stones hitting it and general weather for 17 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
