Hey, been working on an 87 NA Supra for a few years now and have come to a point of getting rid of it. Had a diagnostic done at a shop and it needs a new tank, fuel pump, and fuel filter. I've done so much to this car but need to get rid of it somehow and get a little bit of $$$ for it. Should I...

I am looking for a good auto shop to take my Supra to get looked at. I'm having some engine troubles that I've become very frustrated with and just don't have the time and patience to mess around with. I still haven't gotten to make my Supra a daily driver and it's been years since I first got...

I've read through about 4 or 5 different threads dealing with timing but they have yet to really address the problem I'm having. I just took my Supra out for it's first drive with a completely rebuilt engine and it was VERY sluggish. I have started the engine before and it ran great but I...

Hey guys, while I'm dumping money into my 87 Supra, my daily driver is a 98 Toyota Corolla. I got a transmission flush done at NTB late last summer. Later on that fall it started acting up. I'm not sure whether this is the engine or tranny (auto). So, here it is: Starting from a dead stop in...

Hey guys! If any of you don't mind helping me out, I would really appreciate it. I need some help with deciding whether to sale my Supra or not. Here's the situation: I'm an engineering student who just got a great internship this summer, and it pays. It's local too, so I'll be staying at...

I was bleeding my brakes and brake fluid started leaking out of the junction between the booster and the master cylinder. I already tightened it down but you can still hear a tiny leak (quiet hissing sound). Any pointers on replacing that seal? Is there anything that should be replaced while I...

I just completely redid my brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, ss lines, etc.) and I've been bleeding them but I've ran into a problem. Every now and then when the brakes are being pumped by whoever is helping me, fluid will gush out of the reservoir lid (the little part that lets air out). The rear...

A VSV valve on my 87 NA broke so I bought a used one through the forum. Here's a picture of the one that came off the my Supra: You can see that on the left side there used to be a plastic piece sticking up for a vacuum line to connect to and sticking out the far left side was a cylindrical...

Just curious for future reference. What is the main difference between the GE and GTE that changes the compression ratio? Is it the head or piston rod length? If I got a thicker metal headgasket to replace mine on my GE, would the compression ratio increase or decrease? Are there any good...

I've searched but didn't find a thread on this. The rebuilt engine is in and running. Installed new calipers, rotors and ss lines. I need to start putting fluids in. What do any of you recommend for brake and power steering fluid?

I've see plenty of custom fabrication for audio systems and especially subs. Are there any subwoofer setups that anybody has had success with while still being able to keep the targa top in the back? (and not removing the back seat) I have heard some suggestions for self powered tube type...

I'm about to get new tires for my 87 Supra. I was considering putting some lower profile tires on the front to give the car a better stance by taking the front end down a little. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it? In the near future I will be getting new shocks and springs. Was hoping to...

What kind of solutions are there for the rubber seals around the targa top, doors, and hatchback? Just about done with my Supra and will be driving it soon (fingers crossed). I got some leaks. Also, what about the trim around the hatchback? I have a black 87 and a lot of the plastic trim is...

Hey guys, here's the story. I bought a set of Earl's SS lines from from one of the online Supra parts stores about 8 months ago. Just bought rotors, pads, calipers etc. So, I get off the stock lines finally and I'm installing the new lines on the front drivers side of the car. I start putting...

Hey guys, I've been building up an 87 Supra back to stock specs for the past couple of years and there's one final thing to do: the brakes. I'm about to install new SS brake lines, rotors, calipers, and brake pads on the front and rear. I was wondering if there's anything that needs to be...

I'm in the process of restoring an 87 NA auto targa-top supra. My goal right now is to get it to "factory" condition (running well as a daily driver, nothing fancy). I have 1.5 years left in college and afterwards, I will be making some big changes to the car (turbo, auto to R154 conversion...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on so if this has been brought up before, please let me know where. I'm putting new brakes on my 87 Supra. I have stainless steel brake lines and Brembo OEM rotors. My question is, should I rebuild the calipers I have on there now, or buy...

hey, I'm restoring an 87 supra and I'm gonna need awesome sound (without a sub). The rear speakers is what seems like could be a problem. They are really weird, meaning they are different than your ordinary speaker. They have a box thing with a tiny speaker at the top. Any suggestions?

any thoughts on PowerSlot slotted rotors? there's a brake package at the SupraStore website that is very tempting. I just don't know anything bout powerslot like where they are made, quality etc.

First, I have to get new rotors and brake pads. I was wondering about the calipers. I can't seem to find any good ones online. All I find are these cheapy brands you get at auto part stores. I'm not trying to go high performance but I do want good brakes and components (NOT made in china). Any...
