    Have you ever done a piston soak on a vehicle?

    Long story but I'll post anyway. The nature for the piston soak wasn't a ring issue so this is probably off-topic. 1987 Camaro (see signature). Part throttle ping. GM Top Engine Cleaner. No, it did not. The details are fuzzy; this was decades ago. The above was done at the dealership. Must...

    Quirky features on your cars?

    The Highlander has an S-Flow setting: This function automatically controls the air conditioning airflow so that priority is given to the front seats. When the front passenger seat is not occupied, airflow may switch to only the driver’s seat. Unnecessary air conditioning is suppressed...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    The GeeBee R-1 reminds me of the C64 game, GeeBee Air Rally. I still have the software in my C64 stuff. It was a flight simulation game. I usually crashed and ended up like this. I never saw the winner screen. :(

    Any reason NOT to go with Aisin TKT024 vs OEM Toyota?

    I installed an Aisin kit (TKT021) in the LS400 about 9k miles ago. I wouldn't expect to have any issues in that short amount of time and there hasn't been any. Everything fit and went together fine.

    Things we see driving around - original content (pictures you snapped)

    My aunt drove an early 60's Karmann (white/red). My uncle later bought her a new, '65 Mustang (V8/sport roof, silver/red). She never drove it because it had a Cruise-O-Matic I remember sitting in the back of the Karmann (I was only 4-5 years old), going to Stanford Shopping Center with her...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    This reminds me, I have a Nintendo 64 and a bunch of games that I bought off a co-worker sometime around 2000. I've never hooked it up. It's still in the carry case....someplace.

    Sealing Paint Suggestion

    Thanks for the suggestions. The only things being stored in that cabinet were Bromine tablets (don't know how well the sealed the container was), spa cleaner (sealed container), water chem reagents (sealed container), 303 Protectant (spray), filters. It may just be ambient conditions but this...
