    Downpipe question.

    I have an unknown brand downpipe (which bolted to the elbow) and a full Blitz Nur Spec with test pipe. I want to replace the downpipe as it hangs very low and I want to get rid of the elbow as well. So I picked up this divorced downpipe used from a guy on a facebook group, but I should have...

    Exhaust gaskets...need a little help

    I feel kinda dumb asking, but can anyone point me in a direction to where I can find exhaust gaskets for my Blitz Nur Spec R? I bought it used, in really good shape, but I want new gaskets, and have not been able to find them. I have the original gaskets, but they aren't in good shape. The Blitz...

    1989 Turbo 5spd Hardtop Project

    I bought a 1989 Turbo 5spd that I have known about for about 8 years, from when I first bought my 1987 N/A. The guy is local, very nice guy, but eccentric! I knew him to be someone who took care of the car as best he could. In the last 2 years he did (gave me receipts with mileage written on...

    Brought Home My New 1989 Turbo Today-----Pics

    I had a 1987 N/A Hardtop 5spd for a few years, loved it, but sold it in 2008. I said I would get another one someday, and today I brought one home. The car is a 1989 Turbo Hardtop 5spd White Package with Blue interior. I have known about the car since 2005, but the owner would not part with it...

    having a bad run of luck....need to vent!

    I've had my 87 for 3 years now, I have really enjoyed it. It is in really great shape, the underneath is like new, which is rare in this part of the country. In three years I have had never a single problem. My brother-in-law and I painted it 2 summers ago just to make it prettier! Well now I'm...

    V-Spring brake pad seperator thingy....

    Last weekend I changed out all 4 rotors with drilled/slotted ones. The ones on it were somewhat warped in the front, and I had developed some strange vibrations and such. Also the pads were worn anyway so I of course changed them. While doing this, I found the drivers side rear brake pads was...

    Pls confirm my suspicion, or give opinion!

    I have searched, and I believe I know the problem, I am just looking for some opinions, I guess. My Supra gets a strong shake, like an out of balance tire, from time to time. It doesn't always do it, but once it does it can go from mild to severe, and speed does not matter. I feel it in my...

    First-try at paintjob complete! (56k warning)

    I finally completed painting the Supra. I never tried painting a car before, and I ran into a few problems along the way while learning, but overall it turned out pretty well. I had discovered this spring that both my fenders had rotted out at the bottom, and I had a rust area over the pass side...

    I'm in Sport Compact Car..

    I posted the picture and story here before; giving my 9 year old a ride with a smokey burnout for his birthday, and my 12 year old took a great picture. Well for the heck of it I submitted it to SCC for "burnout of the month". We're in this months (October) issue. It may seem like a little thing...

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    Hey, looking for some advice on my Supra repaint project. Sorry, this story is kinda long, but any advice would be most welcome. I bought my Supra a year ago last May. It had been recently repainted and looked pretty good. There was an area about the size of a shoe that needed repainted on the...

    odd temp gauge prob...opinions?

    Sorry if this is obvious and I don't get it, but...I recently had to replace a coolant hose (the short 90 under the distributor) and now I get strange temp gauge readings. When the car is warmed up and either idling or cruising, it stays right at halfway as it should, but when I accelerate the...

    blew a small coolant hose...

    Not really a question, I'm just relaying an experience. My Supra has been sitting while I get it ready for paint. I replaced fenders, doing some body work, etc. So I figure I'll take it for a small run even though its really ugly right now. I put the taillights and turn signal lights back on and...

    Dug the Supra out of the snow!!

    Living in NW Pa sucks in the winter! Nice clear day with dry roads today, so I dug the Supra out of the snow and took it for a quick spin. Cleaned her back up, and put her back to bed. ( I sure wish I had a garage!)

    Question on my spoiler....

    I feel really dumb, but even though I've had my Supra now for 7 months, I only just realized that I haven't seen a spoiler like mine on another Supra. It's really close to the factory spoilers I always see, but it's not quite the same. Question is, only to satisfy my curiosity, is...IS it a...
