If a new distributor brings it back to life, I'd be happy to get $1500. If it needs more than that, I'm not really sure what it's worth. Maybe $800-1000? Depends how badly someone wants a good chassis with a few bolt on suspension bits, I suppose. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, Anyone want to buy an '86.5 NA Supra? I figured I'd give the locals a chance before I post it in the general for sale section. Some of you might recall when I was working on it back in 2010. It served as my daily driver for a couple years, but now it's just collecting leaves. It...

I actually bought the Megan Track series from te72 at a great price a few months ago. Thanks again dude! I just installed them recently along with the Energy bushing kit from DM. The car sits pretty much exactly where I wanted it to. No pictures currently, but there's about 1-2 finger gap...

Bumping an old thread for some more info. Found the Toyota TSB for retrofitting R-12 AC systems with R-134a. Figured it would be right at home in this thread. http://www.ccar-greenlink.org/tms/NewsLetter/ac002t98.pdf

Hey man your inbox is full. Let me know when you clear it and I'll send you my mailing address.

Hey guys, it's been a while since my last update on my Supra. I finally got her back on the road! I drove from Fort Deposit to Auburn last night, and she felt great! My only hindrance was a quick stop at Wally World for some windshield wipers. This was such a huge step for me! I can finally...

Bump! I'm having similar problems so I would like to hear suggestions as well.

Keylan, I read your rebuild thread a couple days ago...WOW!!! You and your dad have some SERIOUS skill man! Nope, I'll be in Helen, GA for a VW show all weekend. Several aSpeed guys will be there though, inlcuding Sam Collier with his 2JZ-240. It's SICK!!! His best is 9.87 @ 151, and I...

OOHHH!!! HAHAHA! Well, it's a good thing I have a serious problem with procrastination. I haven't done anything besides the TSRM electrical tests thus far. :D I also tested the TPS, and I think it needs a little adjusting. I'm pretty sure the vacuum lines for the brake booster are shot...

Thanks for the tip! No, I didn't think to clean it prior to start up. I did do the electrical tests on the meter though. Maybe it's just dirty...I'll test it again to be sure. About this VSV issue...how critical are these things for a happy engine? The one towards the front of the engine is...

Here's a little update on my rebuild: As I mentioned last time, I found a fuel tank and some hard lines at Auto Recyclers in Montgomery. Snagged everything for around $100. When I got home with the tank, I immediately opened it up to have a peak inside. My dad has a pretty handy inspection...

My fuel woes might be coming near an end. :D Yesterday I took my fuel tank to a radiator shop here in Montgomery, with hopes to get it cleaned and lined. The owner said that since the tank has a plastic baffle in it, the liner will just peal off in short time. It would therefore make a mess...

Jay, that would be awesome if I could get your old lines. I'm sure it would be better than trying to clean mine out. There's no telling what kind of crud is in those things. Any particular reason you're going for braided lines? If you happen to get the old lines off by this weekend, I could...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted in this thread. I'll give you guys an update on my life since I left. CLIFFS: It has taken me way too long to rebuild my motor, and I need a good gas tank. Last summer I bought a 7MGE from pull-a-part to replace my BHG'd motor in my 86.5. I got...

Dude, I dig that color too! When you said fugly I was thinking something like lime green. Looks good IMO. Pseudo progress report: I was finally able to start the tear-down on the replacement motor yesterday... So much for that 30 day warranty :sadwavey: Anyway, I have a question for...
