FWIW, that black lever inside the door frame actuates a restrictor on the seat belt reel, that makes the retractor seem softer when the door is closed, and will allow for the belt to retract quickly when the door opens.

My seatbelts dont reel in quickly either way, but that does seem to be exactly what that is for are for.

Woot.. first problem. (btw... I have a map of work to be done and costs that I will post up here in a couple days after I finish research)

Today I go out and start the Supra and... whoops... only like 1 inch of clutch. So.. I look at the clutch reservoir. What do I find? nada... the rubber float is sitting on the bottom.

So, I fill it, and everything is good.

Okay.. now where the hell did the fluid go??? There is no sign of any under the car and so far I cant detect any leaks. It was like the whole reservoir was emptied over night! Puzzling...

Anyone ever have this happen?

hmm thats wierd about the fluid but mines an auto so cant help, lol. good luck on this build, itll fun after the exhuast upgrade tho im sure. :)

I had to fill my clutch fluid today as well. Mine leaked gradually I believe because the clutch slowly got closer and closer to the floor before it would engage. It took a couple of months for me to search for it on the forum.

Look under the carpet near the clutch pedal for the leak. That's what everyone suggested today when I searched.

Yeah, that's the first place I looked.. its weird, because mine wasn't gradual.. it was sort of a overnight thing. If I had a mad ex-wife, I would guess she took a turkey baster and sucked it all out.. just to confuse me...

lol

you hiding something from us? :whateva:

lol.. no.. but the car may be... :)

Just for those who are interested.. this guy is going to be doing some work on my car in the very near future... and he did a write-up (you may have seen him and/or his car on the net already. Just thought that for those who plan to upgrade your cars, he has a pretty decent write-up regarding how to convert our Supras

Sonic Tech Supra MK2 GTE Tech Note

Looks good man! It's a really clean car I love the color.

Thanks! Now I just gotta get the engine compartment prettied up. Going to be slapping these tires on it:

Goodyear Tires | Eagle | Eagle F1 Asymmetric | Features & Benefits

unless someone recommends a better one. Remember.. I live in an area that has snow in winter from time to time (used to be all winter.. that's changed). I dont intend on driving the car in winter, but you can get surprised out here.
