Misc. Toyota Supra tech tips

bulletHow to turn off the airbag light
bulletThe driver's side of the hood sometimes doesn't latch. Ever notice your hood vibrate at high speed? Then push here firmly, and if you hear a click, then you'll know it wasn't latched completely. To fix, hand-tighten the two rubber bumpers under the hood. Click here for a picture.
bulletGot a strange rattle coming from the rear? Tighten the targa top bolts.
bulletIf the brake rotors won't come off easily, insert the appropriate sized bolt into the hole in the rotor and tighten.
bulletIt is normal to have quite a bit of slack in the throttle cables.
bulletWhen removing the spark plugs, just undo the two 10mm bolts holding each coil pack. This allows you to remove the coil packs in pairs. Also, the 2 crankcase ventilation hoses are a bitch to get back on and are prone to cracking. Buy news hoses beforehand, just in case (part numbers 12263-46010 and 12264-46010).
bulletKeep the intercooler hose clamps tight, they can pop off under high boost.
bulletDon't tighten the Cusco strut tower bars too much (the two bolts opposite the 5/16" hex nut), or you will hear loud creaking (especially at high rpm) from the front of the car. 50 lb-ft works good on my car. When installing the front bar, you'll have to move the resistor pack. I relocated mine here, notice the tie-wraps holding it in place.
