I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong section. I currently drive a tired 89 supra N/A. I was planning on selling it until I checked out a car today. I found a rust free 89 Turbo auto identical to mine, but it has a spun bearing. He wants 1200 for the car plus an extra 7m-gte...

Well, I think the time has come to let my mkiii go. With a $2500 budget, I don't have many options, so I came to the trusty forums for advice. Here's the background, I bought an 89 NA 5 speed stock at age 15 for my first car and you could say she was rough. After 3 years and plenty of...

Hey guys. I have a stock NA 89 5 speed basically stock on 93 octane. I'm running a ghetto/leaky test pipe, bosche wires and NGK irridiums. Other than that its totally stock. Every now and then if I get on it a little and run it into the 5-5.5k rpm range i can hear an occasional pop with the...

Well, my struts (most likely OEM) are completely shot all the way around. Since sport driving is just flat out dangerous when your car handles like a Crown Vic, I hope to be replacing them soon. Yes, I know coilovers are the way to go but I'm on a budget and quite frankly the car isn't worth...

Okay guys, here's the deal. 7m n/a w58 5-speed. I've noticed that when shifting from first to second gear during normal passive driving that it almost feels like the teeth grind 2-3 knubs as you slip into 2nd. Clutch depressed, rpms under 3k, everything normal and it does it. I've noticed...

Hey SM, it's been a while. After a much needed tune-up (NGK plugs and Bosche wires), my 7M seems much happier, but I think I can get a little more out of her. Back in the day, I read about routing piping from the airbox inlet to behind the grill. I want to take this idea to another level...

Title says it all. I have an 89 currently white. Front clip is good but from the doors back the clearcoat is orange peeled and quite frankly not that great. The car has tinted blinkers, side markers and tail lights all black (tail lights are more maroon. Didn't want to go too dark without...

I have an '89 N/A w58. It's bone stock with only ARP head bolts (BHG repair) and about 146k miles on it. I'm pretty happy with it, but it's my only DD and my first car and honestly isn't worth investing money into. I would like to make it run a little bit happier and healthier for the...

Hello guys, it's been a while...my car was doing great. (7mge, 5 speed bone stock) Well anyways, ever since I bought the car at 120k it's had a very very slight click. Once she's all warmed up and idling beautifully at 750 there's a very faint, but still noticable, tick. Never really...

Okay, I'm sitting in my mkiii right now listening to music and dripping sweat as I type this on my phone. Alright guys, so I bought the car a couple years back and the A/C never worked from the start. It had sat for a who knows how long but it easily could have been five years. Well...

Okay guys, just looking for some opinions on this. I was driving down the road the other day and blew a sidewall (thank God I wasn't doing a stupid maneuver at the time). I am now driving on the spare and faced with two options. I can either buy four new 225/50 r16 tires and keep my stock...

Title says it all. I wrecked my open diff (had a slow leak and ran it too low...I know, stupid on my part), but fortunately I found a LSD one for a good price and had it shipped. The only problem is I can't find straight 90 weight oil anywhere. I've tried two NAPAs, two Advanced Auto Parts...

Hey guys, title pretty much says it all. It looks like my differential might be toast and I found one that comes from a same year N/A auto (mines a 5 speed) and I'm wondering if it's just a straight drop in? Any tips on the procedure? The gearing ratio should be the same right? If I need...

Hello supramania. I just got screwed big time because I look young. Was driving past curfew, perfectly, soberly, and got busted for curfew. They can literally pull me over past curfew because I look young even if you're of age. I've been pulled over 6 times in two years and five of those...

I have a bone stock '89 n/a five speed with a fel-pro hg and arp bolts. 140k on it and second clutch. As much as I would love to go out and try all this stuff, I really don't want to blow my trans in the process. I need my car right now. What will it do? I know from the few I have...

Hey guys. I have an 89 n/a 5 speed with a completely after market stereo. When the car is in accessory mode the stereo sounds perfect. However, when the car is running there is a faint humming noise. When you rev it it matches the pitch of the engine rpms. It is the same volume no matter...

Hey guys. Here's the background. My 7m-ge had a bhg that I suspect happened shortly after I got it. I drove through the winter without problems and when it warmer up in the spring I had overheating problems. Replaced everything I thought could be a cause and ended up doing the hg. Used a...

Hey guys, I ran a quick search on here but didn't see anything that helped too much. Im looking into installingeither a viper 790 xv ($100 bucks Craigslist) or buying a python 991. I'm looking to install all the basics those have, with the 2-way 1 mile remote, backup battery, proximity...

Let's hear it. Lol
