Latest updates to the car...new stereo system, amp. subwoof, lowering springs, new struts, anti-sway bars and front strut tower bar, along with keyless entry...sweet! Album: http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n189/smagnotta/Supra%20II/ Slideshow...

Thank you for the kind words...it's been a journey, and the car is special in that it was ready for the junkyard 10 years ago. I resurrected it.

Pics of my Supra after all the restoration I have done for the past 10 years... http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n189/smagnotta/Supra/?action=view&current=e7351b07.pbw http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n189/smagnotta/Supra/ I purchased it in August of 99, and the production...

Just as a follow up, I used an 89+ brake sensor box (in this case it was ivory colored) and it worked just fine. The light went off on the dash. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Update: I checked with Toyota and there are 2 possible brake light sensor failure boxes: 86.5 to 88 and 89 to 92 Two boxes. The same part number for 89 through 92. Also, it looks like the brake light lens and bulb holders are compatible through the 89 to 92 years...

Thanks all who responded; it makes sense. Get a new failure box (89+ one) or rewire.

It's a sensor failure/electrical so it's technical not general in my opinion, but no prob. Thanks for that link -- I've seen that before...

Wow, dummy me, I used an 87 yellow box instead (my original old one and another one). So I am assuming the boxes differ from pre 89 to 89+ ? So will the 89+ yellow box correct the problem? Won't my 87 computer trigger the failure light anyway?

Hello all, I have an 87 Turbo manual, 87 stock ECU, and it had the old style spoiler with the rectangular 3rd brake light. I first upgraded to the 89+ rear lights and center piece and that worked fine with no errors for 3 years. My latest upgrade was the 3 piece spoiler, and after...

I have that exact turbo ( stage 5 57 trim (525hp) ), and 20 psi is good for 400 horsepower (on my car -- just came back from the dyno).

I am taking my MK3 Supra to the body shop next month and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for a black paint color? It does not have to be from Toyota. I am considering straight black and also black with another color in it such as purple, producing more of a black pearl type paint...

All, I have an LSD from an 87 Turbo (3.9). Will it fit in a 4.30 pumpkin? In other words, I have the LSD guts from an 87 MKIII Supra Turbo; will it fit into the container of say a non Turbo MKIII Supra (4.3)?

Yes the turbo lined up. I have the SupraSport Turbo Elbow. Do you have a turbo elbow? I am not sure about your setup. This BOSS turbo is intended to replace the stock CT-26 turbo and be an easy bolt on system (plug and play). If you didn't make any changes to the stock setup to bolt on...

Thank you all, that really helped me a lot. I got the car running again and the turbo sounds great.

Thanks for your help. I understand about the drill and tap for the extra port. OK stupid question time: I do not understand the actuator adjustment. There is a nut which I can see. How do I know when the port is fully closed? I guess I need clarification.
