Central FL mk3's???

[JD7Monster]

Just wondering if theres any MK3 owners in the central FL area..
I mostly see people from south/northern panhandle Florida..
I dont see many MK3's in my area either, an the ones I do are driven by old ladies..

If anyones around, hit me up.

[Got_Supra?]

I'm in the orlando area near Oviedo

i have a 1988 N/A blown engine still thinking about what to do. Rebuild engine or drop jdm.

[SuPrADr1Ft786]

Yea dude, JDM turbo swap, i had a N/A before my turbo and its harder and more expensive to make the N/A to a turbo or to make much horsepower out of it, to me the N/A is like a built motor from the factory, lol, but I dont know its up to u, whatever fits your budget.

what part are you by the oviedo mall

Im right by the Alafaya area

but I did the exact same thing you did cept mine was a 89 and I let some 1 cut the springs which was a big mistake It all depends what type of money you want too put into the supra like right now im building up the ge block to handle the turbo with new gte pistions and such. but im doing the work with a friend whos rebuilt the motor already. It may be cheaper too by the 7mgte all depends what you want. And now I need new springs :3d_frown:

[SuPrADr1Ft786]

I know how it feels, i have the same thing. cut springs suck, lol.

sweet i can make a web page for ya if you need one or just help if you got one going allready.

And i probably will have you do some work on my car because i'm not too experienced at this yet.

[supradan22]

I think ive actually seen you car in a neghibor hood on that one gated comunnity on the end mcclouck or how ever you spell was that road I know it was red but it was too dark too tell the color of the rims.

[highonoctane16]

I think ive actually seen you car in a neghibor hood on that one gated comunnity on the end mcclouck or how ever you spell was that road I know it was red but it was too dark too tell the color of the rims.

Maybe so? I live in Northgate, although I think you are talking about that subdivision at the VERY end of the road. At any rate. . .If there is a good enough showing of mk3's in tampa, I might drive over there from time to time. Some of us around here should head to the uc7 meet one wednesday night. (if that is even still going on). I spent my summer working at a machine shop and doing my buildup. I'm boosting a little more every time I drive her, but I'm gonna give it a couple hundred more miles until I call the new engine fully broken in.

[Spiv]

I'm in orlando area as well, specifically down by waterford lakes area.

And no, they don't do UC7 anymore. Seems cops started kicking people out after some of the local businesses complained about idiots doing burnouts and loud music. Most of it moved to the corner of goldenrod and university, in the plaza where tijuana flats is (across the street from sonics).

I'd be up for a tampa meet, assuming it's at a time when I can make it. I'd be up for an orlando mk3 meet too. Last time I could only make it to the track day portion of the CFL supra meet, but there was only three other mk3s there. Did more of you show up to the next day stuff, or are you just too skeered to park next to the mk4s? :naughty:

Anyone know what happened to the usual saturday night 50 meets?

that, and who's the white mk3 delivering for papa john's on the corner of 50 and alafaya?

[highonoctane16]

Shows what I know. I went home for the summer and everything shuts down. UC7 was always seemed to be a higher class group of cars/people towards the beginning of the school year, but just went downhill as the year went by. The times I went there were only a couple of idiots, but they kept it out of he parking lot for the most part.

Is the Goldenrod meet on Wednesdays? I dont usually go to them just for the hell of it, but if enough mk3 guys chime in I'd be more than happy to.

On another note, does anyone have/know somebody with a welder? Unfortunately, it wasnt too practical to bring mine along since I live in an apt. complex...

[Spiv]

still wednesdays, 9.30 or so it gets jumpin. Not sure if it's still going, but they were also doing a UCF car club thing in the north garage on wednesdays. I stopped going when it turned into an f-body gathering week after week.

And actually yeah, I have a portable MIG (gasless), whatcha need?

[highonoctane16]

to make a simple adapter from my stock manifold to my sp67, dump tube for my wg, and modfiy my dp a little bit. If it will fit without hitting the strut tower... where are you in orlando spiv? -dan

oh yeah. all my friends in pcola have fbodies...it cant be that bad of a time!

[SuPrADr1Ft786]

Yea we should do a meet with some mk3's i'll be down, just set up a date and i'll be more than happy to go, same with Tampa, or I can set up a day here in Davenport, lol. Its between Tampa and Orlando, but its the boonies over here,lol

[supradan22]

The guy with the white MKIII (papa john pizza boy) is a cool guy talked too him before its N/A and auto and he hates from what I ve heard lately he almost traded it for a Hyndia tiberon from what Ive heard

[highonoctane16]

It's n/a and auto. . .who can really blame him? :icon_bigg

Oh I'm just kidding. I used to own an n/a too, so I'm allowed to talk bad about them.

[Spiv]

highonoctane16: I'm on lake underhill, near the waterford lakes plaza. If you've got the pieces all cut and ready to go we could put them together one afternoon when we're both free. Just keep in mind the gasless don't make welds as pretty as a welder that has gas that both shields and cools (instead of just shielding).

SuPrADr1Ft786: davenport doesn't sound too bad, boonies doesn't sound too bad if there are places to play with the cars a little. I assume there's no track?

supradan22: heh, should have known it was an N/A. Someone just hint to him that the problem isn't the supra, it's the lack of turbo.

[highonoctane16]

I'm well aware of the capabilities (and limitations) of flux cored wire. :bigthumb: I have a little 115v Lincoln Electric myself.

I'm really weighing my options right now. I'm tempted to buy a cheap-o ebay manifold and hope for the best, just to get me by until I can do it right. Bottom line is I dont want this pretty turbo and wg sitting in the box until I go home for christmas. I dont know what I'm going to do..

In any case, thanks for the offer to help!

I second the vote for a boonies BBQ or something like that. Im not sure where Davenport is, but if it is in between Tampa and Orlando, that works out well. Each group could cruise down together. (I dont want to sound like we're inviting ourselves) Spiv said it all....It could be really good if there are some hassle free back roads in your area. Just my .02 Dan

[SuPrADr1Ft786]

Theres no track over here, but there is places where you can do some drag and drifting, its just my car has been down and I cant really look around for more places. And as far as back roads go, we have 1 pretty good one, takes u all the way to West Colonial, and I can look for some BBQ areas, the only I know of is the one in my neighborhood, has a basketball court as well.

[supradan22]

Theres bithlo speed world which isnt too far away from the ucf area

[highonoctane16]

Anybody else noticed that it's pretty much the 4 of us talking back and forth? haha, regardless, 4 mkiii's in one place would be the second biggest showing I've seen personally. And speedworld isnt too bad..$10 to watch $15 to run...although the track prep is usually pretty poor, so dont set shoot for a fantastic time. Oh yeah. I saw a black mk3 with a bra today right by ucf, had 89+tails and bumper with and 87-88 wing. Too bad I was riding with my buddy in his saturn!

[supradan22]

I that 1 is also another N/A supra I think he works at perkins if im not mistaken lot of N/A supras in the UCF I know somebody else who come too the meet duno if you have seen a Dark gray supra with a Camero Lip arround.

[JD7Monster]

Hey, not to go off topic, anyone in CFL have a good coilpack i could borrow for a lil bit? My car stopped firing today.. and im pretty screwed cuz this is my dailydriver.
i'm in Sanford..
My cell is 321-377-5398
If anyone could help that'd be great

[highonoctane16]

too bad my parts car is back in pensacola, id let you borrow my spare. Are you sure it's the coilpack? They dont go bad too terribly often.. What are the symptoms? If you want to get together and swap around parts to figure out what it is, I'm sure we could meet up somewhere. Oh yeah, there's also a junkyard in cocoa beach that I use pretty often. they usually have a few mk3's on their lot. They might have one for cheap. Just let me know. Dan.

[supradan22]

The junkyard on colonial Fosters junkard has a white 87 Mkiii but its N/A

[JD7Monster]

Well, at first it was running horrible intermintantly, missing at any amount of throttle.. until i got into boost, than it would pull fine. Than it developed into crappy idle/crappy running, it sounded like a lawnmower.
Now theres no spark at all.. It seems that the starter works during the day, but not at night. Now it turns over but wont fire.
so i'm stuck here cuz its basically my daily driver. lol

[highonoctane16]

where is "here"? I might be able to give you a hand sometime..although my multimeter just took a dump, so that might make electrical gremlins hard to diagnose until I get a new one.

[JD7Monster]

I live in Sanford (kinda far up) Ive been using a wire probe that i've been using to get a general idea of whats working an whats not

[highonoctane16]

haha, yeah, that is kinda far up. I was thinking you were closer by. If I'm ever in the area I'll let you know though. Just start at the plugs and go from there.. plugs, then wires, then coil packs, then cps & igniter, then wire harness and ecu. make sure the coil pack is bolted down (grounded) and check the rest of your grounds too. Just my .02. Good luck!

[JD7Monster]

I'll test all that tonite after work, I have a guy from work hopefully bringing me an extra igniter today, hopefully that should fix it.
I dont get why its doing this, its a relativly new engine.

[highonoctane16]

Have any of you guys heard of/go to the UCF car club? I have a really bad memory and think i remember seeing something about this...The whole thing sounds kind of cheesy, but if any of you want to go check it out sometime I'd be up for it. A need a good reason to wash my car. I'm too lazy otherwise. dan

[streetknight]

ill be moving to melbourne on the 15th of this month. so i guess this is going to be my new regional place. back to packing i go.

yep, tonight (wednesday) around 9.30 it starts. North garage, top floor. I'll be there if nothing else, but occasionally other supra people show. Would be nice to get several of us to show on a regular basis.

It's really not that cheesy either (maybe the old one was, it died off a little while ago and I helped a buddy restart it). As if this year it's reinstated, and we have a lot of fun. We're expecting tonight to have a pretty significant turnout, last week they did a lot of publicity on it.

[highonoctane16]

well shit, I wish I'd seen this post last night. I didnt do anything but sit around. Maybe next week I'll make it out. How many cars usually show up? Are they nicer cars or saturns and cavaliers on walmart spinner hubcaps? Dan

[zmatt]

If anyone is looking for a 1988 N/a Supra i'm going to sell mine cheap because i cant use it anymore. the engine is blown but the rest of the car is nice.

[Spiv]

mix really. No walmart spinners to date, but last night seemed like 240 night. Seemed like 1/3 of the cars were s13's and s14s. Was actually a really fun night, spent most of it talking about supras.

[highonoctane16]

well actually....i said that I'll be there next week, but I forgot that I have other plans. But the week after next for sure.
