Re: Rain??

Don't lie to him, everyone knows Supras are made of sugar and when you drive them in the rain the muffler bearings dissolve. Couldn't pass up the opportunity. Find the people who said that and don't listen to anything they say about cars, until they have a clue about what they are talking about.

Re: Rain??

The muffler bearings are an easy fix. All you have to do is upgrade to Tacoma muffler bearings. They don't dissolve in water.

Re: Rain??

but honestly though... their valve steems are notorious for shrinking in the rain... i suggest maybe a set of 6-8 inch valve steems to really set the car off nicely...oh and btw how would rain enter your intercooler unless you have like a huge hole? you shoulda been able to look at it n tell that main.
