My Supra recently decided it did not like idling. It started with classic flucuating rpm at idle, up and down. Unplugging ISC had no change. It seemed to run fine once you opened the throttle a little, either to make idle a little higher or to drive down the road. So I started checking things- I...

Yesterday I replaced the rear "ball-bushings", where #2 lower control arm connects to rear knuckle/spindle. It made a wonderful difference. Before it had this super-annoying clunky looseness as you would lift off the throttle or accelerate again. I thought my half-shafts had too much play or...

Yeah! Check out this sweet supra! And at a steal of a price! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supra-Toyota-Supra-Turbo-MK3-5-speed_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6447QQihZ003QQitemZ130192186071QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Wonder if comes with a sharp stick to jab out your eyes too.

Today's Lesson Is: Don't lend your Supra to anyone you don't know and trust. Today this customer at work asked if we had a rental, my service manager sort of laughed and said no. (we're just a small independent speedometer shop, so no loaners!) But I slid out from under the customer's '63...

One side of my glovebox hinges were broken and the other was cracking too. Do I search for another from salvage and have the same weak, old plastic? No. I'll make it better! So I cut off most of the plastic from the glovebox and the cut four strips of aluminum about 1/2" wide. Drilled and used...

Last night I was watching Wheel of Fortune, because I'm a lazy American and that's what I do, and they showed this little segment of when they did the show at Radio City Music Hall in New York- 20 years ago. One of the prize cars on the stage was a red Supra targa top. Totally Rad!! I guess...

Ummm, this chic dressed as a prison guard on my name is earl is smokin! And then argues with Earl about seeing pic of her vagina tattoo. Ahhhh, I'm a loser....

I recently replaced the 4.30:1 rearend in my NA Supra with one out of a turbo, I think it's 3.89:1, mainly for better fuel mileage. Well, my speedometer read about ten mile per hour too slow at highway speed, which is a real good way to get a ticket if you forget to make the mental adjustment to...

I've got slack, and not nice dress pants. There is what feels like way too much slack in my drivetrain, feels like riding a motorcycle with a really loose chain. Jerks hard when lifting from mild accel to decel, and then back to accel. I have a pretty good idea where it mostly is: the...

Ok this is may be a little out there, but I'm having trouble finding anything about this- I remember seeing a cheap little kit in Jegs or somewhere for a little tube to weld into your header(s) that would be connected to the crankcase. The exhaust gas flowing by supposed to create vacuum effect...

Yeah, title says it- can I run 15" wheels on a Supra? Don't have any laying around to slap on and check clearances. I have a set of 245/50zr15 BFGs that are like brand new. My car was sitting for about two years and I'm afraid it's gonna vibrate from flat spots. Some cheap steel wheels are...

Ok I just gotta vent... I just put my red '86.5 back together after having the head off. I had diagnosed it's rattlin engine noise as valve clatter, so did the the guy at the Toyota dealer who was their "7m pro". Well, I jumped in and measured my clearances and turned out I needed some shims...

Ok, I don't know what this stuff is. I pulled the heads off of both my Supras (ugh!) and when I pulled the head from my 87, which is the car I'm planning to keep, it's nicer, I discovered this gold paint lookin stuff coating the inside of the cam valley areas. It comes right off with a touch of...

Ok, now I don't want to step on any toes, I know Supras are badass and I've been itchin for one for a while, but... Please tell me why I decided to get involved with a car that's most common problems are completely debilitating?! I'm talking about the rod knock and blown head gaskets! And...

I was wondering how many people are running one piece driveshafts in their Supras. Any clearance issues with stock exhaust placement or anything else I should know before having the driveline shop build me one? What was Toyota thinking anyway? "Truck-style driveshaft" behind a "truck motor" I guess.

On my way to work this morning noticed that sickly sweet smell of antifreeze. Hmmm, that's odd. And my windsheilds fogging up when it's almost 70 and low humidity. My heater cores leaking! Anyone replaced one on these mkIIIs? Does the dash have to come out or is accessable from underneath it or...

I'm new here because I just bought my first Supra- a ragged out '86.5 that after changing oil started to show nasty top-end noise. It could be heard ever so slighty before, so I didn't think it was serious, but with 10w30 it was stupid loud! 20w50 and 1 qt of lucasoil later it's quieter but...
