Thanks Gaboon, I just wanted to make sure before I drained the tank. Yeah, I was thinking I was going to have to have someone there with extra containers... lol. It makes wish I didn't have an electric lawn mower though...

I have a quick question about draining old gas from my tank. Are there any special considerations as far as draining the tank using the drain plug, specifically, thread sealant or new gasket/washer when putting the plug back in? I've got about a 1/4 tank of gas that's going on a year and a half...

Here you go... hope they help. Let me know if you need pics of something in particular... Cheers, Bruce

Yes, she is still going to be driven the same way. No upgrades. She will remain stock until the day I die. I love her just the way she is.

Hey guys... I was just looking for some opinions. Original owner, 1989 Turbo Supra. 148,000 miles. Used to be my wife's DD. Never raced or abused. This winter I replaced a number of hardened hoses, including a cracked accordian hose. The car has rarely seen anything above 4,000 RPM. For the...

LOL... reminds me of my high school buddy and me sitting in the engine bay of his 57 chevy... it had a little more room though...

OP.... whether or not you paid to much, it's a done deal. If you like the body kit, more power to you. Like Reiketsukan said, you can change the head gasket... just read up here and do it right. If I were you, I'd also get a hold of Toyota Service Manual for your car. There is a wealth of...

Well, I paid $27,840 for mine. Worth every penny. :icon_bigg But then, mine doesn't have an ugly body kit (I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and doesn't have a BHG... but in my opinion, you may have overpaid for it. But hey, you have a supra now... :-)

thanks.

ok... well thanks for the replies and comments... but... I know how to remove the boot. The shifter console is apart on my work bench. The quality of the boot that I bought off of eBay is great. It is a perfect match for the original and made of very high-grade, supple leather. I was just asking...

I have the ring from the original. I was just wanting to know what glue would be the best to use on the real leather. Bruce

Hi... I actually bought this a couple of years ago, shifter and hand brake boots, from a company, I believe it was Bonny Buttons. It is the exact dimensions and construction as the original. I was very impressed with the construction. Bruce

Greetings... I'm going to be changing out my old, torn shifter boot for a nice new 'real' leather one I bought on eBay. I was just wanting to know about what glue I should use to secure it to the plastic ring at the top of the shifter and the metal ring at the base. I have Gorilla Glue, but...

Just as an FYI followup, Nashman appears to be right. I went to the local import PNP today and these were only on targas. Zumtizzle... I'm near Bond and Bradshaw. I love the light blue... no matter what other people refer to it as... LOL. The Z is my next project after I finish the freshening...

Hi all... I was just curious what the piece of hardware attached with 2 screws on the door jamb is called. It appears to be a guide of some sort. I've noticed it isn't on all MA70s. It is in a couple of illustrations in the Body section of the 89 TSRM, but it isn't identified. Thanks, Bruce
