Why are 90% of the MKIIIs that I see for sale here, and on other sites, junked out pieces of shit? Almost every single one is a 'project', or the engine runs fine, but the exterior looks like dogshit. I weep.

In contrast to the other thread here, I've decided that, in the spring and summer when I can hold a full time job, I plan on saving up and buying another Supra. It will be my "fun" car, and my summer/fall DD when it's running properly. I have my Jeep for when it isn't. Why am I doing this...

Recently, somehow, the nut for my A/C idler pulley worked itself loose, causing the pulley, and the belt to come flying off as I was driving along. I ordered a new pulley, and I have a nut for it, but it doesn't seem to be fitting right. It seems like there should be a washer or something...

My car has been having this problem off and on lately. For the past couple of weeks, it will randomly start misfiring. It sounds like a lawnmower, and the engine has absolutely no power. It sounds like it's misfiring on 1 cylinder, but it could be 2. Here's the thing, though: when this happens...

Alright, so I've been searching and searching, and I can't really find anything. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or a write up for installing an aftermarket stereo into a 1986.5? From what I've read, there's a difference between the wiring of a 1986.5 and a 1987. Also, the online TEWD is for a...

Alright, so it seems that I have an exhaust leak that sort of defies logic. Yes, I know I need to get it fixed ASAP. I'm not really driving the car right now. Anyway. I smell exhaust in my car, but only when the car's moving, and it becomes MUCH worse with the windows rolled down, especially the...

Well, the title explains it well enough, I believe. I'm running Castrol German 0W-30 in my 7M-GE, and I'm coming to the point where I'd like to change the filter (3000 miles). I've never changed just the filter. How much oil can I expect to lose between what's in the filter and what drains out...

Annnnd we're back with more problems. Yesterday, I changed my air filter. In the process, somehow, my oil sender unit got unplugged. I noticed that last night as I was driving , and my oil pressure gauge wasn't working. So, I removed my air intake to get at the oil sender, and when I tried to...

Alright, I've had this problem recently, with my Supra, where it makes an odd sort of... Vibration noise if it's revved between about 3700 and 4800 rpm. It only makes this noise in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. Not first, or second, and not in neutral when it's stationary. I apologize if the...

Alright, so lately, my climate control has been acting up. Specifically the fan/blower motor (I think?). For the past few days, the fan will just shut completely off and then back on. Well, last night, it finally took a dump on me (in the freezing cold), and won't blow any air - not on any fan...

Alright, so these last couple of days, my clutch pedal has started to feel spongy. Tonight, on a 130 mile round trip, I started having serious clutch problems. The clutch pedal itself developed a huge amount of free play, and wouldn't engage unless I pressed it to the absolute bottom of the...

Alright, so I've been searching quite a bit and found some helpful instructions in relation to the process of replacing the pressure line. My question is: I have the Driftmotion braided line, so, what differences will I encounter during installing it compared to an OEM style line? Will I need to...

Alright, guys, My 7M-GE is making a very audible ticking noise at idle. The sound seems to be coming from the area of spark plug wire #3-#4. Engine oil level is normal, engine oil pressure is normal, temperature is normal, no misfires, and the car drives perfectly. Am I at the beginning stages...

So, my Supra has the infamous PS leak coming from the high pressure line. I'm thinking of buying this replacement from Oreily's auto...

Hallo, all! I just recently bought a 1986.5 Mk3 as my first car from another member of the forums, BlackDynamite. He's a really great guy and the car is solid, despite a few problems it has. Anywho, I just thought I'd make a post to introduce myself. May post pictures of the Supra soon.
