    88 key set

    I've got an 88 with no keys, I'm planning on pulling the door lock and having one made, but can anyone tell me if the door and ignition keys are the same, and if an 89+ tail section can be rekeyed to match the 88 key?

    I'm back! 88 white project incoming

    After selling my old 87 to slim down for a cross country move, I've finally found another supra. Managed to talk the guy down to $500 (the oilfield crash has hit most of the area pretty hard) Picking it up on Monday, and shelving it for a while to collect parts. seats and dash are shot...

    steering wheel with audio controls

    Search has turned up nothing of value. I'm hoping someone out there has found a way to mount an aftermarket steering wheel or possibly one from another yota into a MK3 and retained the steering wheel controls, horn and possibly cruise? I know it will require a different clock spring but most of...

    Towing a MK3 accross the country??

    I will be moving within the year back down to Oklahoma with my wife, and i'll be damned if i'm leaving the supra here when I do. I'm certain i won't have it roadworthy again by then, so i'll be in the market for a truck/crossover to tow it with. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking...

    87 lock in 89+ tail

    I recently purchased an 89 tail section and as it did not come with a lock I am needing to fit my older lock to the newer center section. I believed this would be very hard to accomplish at first, but after playing with it a bit I got it figured out and I thought I would do a quick write up with...

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    I've been researching alternative motors for my Mk3, I love the 7MGTE but it just doesn't have the low end torque that i love. Recently i ran across this:http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/kit_gmax15.htm Since both the R154 and AX15 are build by Aisin-Warner, they share a bolt pattern meaning...

    Slight misfire and very little low end torque

    so the title says it all, i have very little low end torque and at idle the car feels like it's misfiring a bit also i can hear the turbo spool up while accelerating but i don't feel very much power coming from it, infact i can accelerate faster when i let my foot off a bit. I will eventually be...

    Rust issues/ And repairs :)

    Just had the wonderful experience of pulling my rear speaker pods out to place new ones in, while doing so i noticed that my rear wheel well is in much worse shape than i thought I'm capable of fabricating the panels myself and putting them in, but i'd rather save myself time and headache by...

    Sunroof help

    I have an 87 with an aftermarket possibly dealter installed Hollandia sunroof. I'm not sure exactly what model it is but the glass measures 15" by 32.75". It has a broken guide on the passenger side, and the sunshade is missing as well. I've only been able to identify it as a hollandia/wabasto...

    engine codes

    got a combination of 21 Oxygen Sensor Signal, 42 Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal, 43 Starter Signal, and 51 Switch Signal, the only thing i see in common on all of these items is the ECU. I'd planned to replace the Oxygen sensor next weekend but i'm not sure where to check the speed sensor and it's...

    Gutless until the motor warms up, dies when you let off the gas

    My first though on this issue is that it was related to the ecu temp sensor but it checks out per the TSRM. The car isn't drivable at all when then it's cold, it won't accelerate and tries to start pushing boost way too early, and it still doesn't make any power. After warm up it feels fine...

    no spark after BHG repair

    So the car is back together, but for some reason i have no spark, I've completely rewired the CPS but i haven't had a chance to test it, the Ignitor or coil packs per the TSRM, aside from those parts is there anything else that could cause it not to spark?

    Most likely a BHG help!

    Got the gurgling behind the dash... i've been worried about it since I bought the car a few months ago, but with the coolant loss, and now this, coupled with rough Idle, and long starts when cold, i can only think of one thing. I'm having the coolant and compression tested tomorrow, and i need a...
