    Who Makes The Best C/f Hood?

    Long story short, I need a new hood and am thinking about C/F. I am more concerned with fit and asthetics than I am with weight (so shoot me) and I was wondering if you use your stock hood hardware or lockdown pins and different hinges or what? How much $$$? I know some of you guys...

    intermitent loss of power

    I'll be driving along and all is well and suddenly my supra momentarily loses power, just dies for a second and I can hear the main fuse (circuit breaker under the passenger kick panel clicking on and off so I think it's electric) I've checked the wires under the hood but I can't find the source...

    Open Circuit Relay...help!!!

    What would cause the open circuit relay (behind passanger kickpanel) to keep clicking on and off? Mine keeps clicking and my idle is bouncing up and down and my supra keeps stalling. I checked the relay per TSRM and it checks out fine so I figure something else must be causing it to continually...

    Ecu Clinking

    Just like the title says I have this weird thing going on. All of the sudden my car doesn't want to idle, usually after I've driven it a while, shut it down and then restarted it. What happens is the idle starts bouncing around and then it feels like it going to stall and the whole time I can...

    ching a ling ching ching

    That's the sound that's coming from my motor. I can hear it as I rev up off idle. I know it's not good. But I can't figure what it is. Sounds like some one jingleing chains together. Doesn't seem to be affecting the way the motor runs but it's got to be something. Any ideas? :1zhelp:

    Tein off road only???

    So I'm about to order a set of the Tein super street coilovers and I read the installation and adjustment instructions online and all over it says, "for off road use only". What does this mean? My car is a daily driver. Is this just Tein's way of covering their asses? Should these...

    Thermo Switch Temp Settings

    I run dual electric fans with an adjustable temperature thermo switch. I'm wondering what temp I should set the fans to kick in at? For simplicity's sake I was thinking I might just have both fans go on and off together, plus the fact that I live in CA and it gets really hot here and will...

    Worn wheel bearings, what are the symptoms?

    I have been trying to locate a rattle that sounds like it's coming from my rear suspension. It is noticable at low speed over small bumps. Problem is I can't isolate it. I've had the car up on jack stands and tried to find the rattle and nothing. Everything looks ok but I did notice what feels...

    What in the hell is that?

    I was washing my 87 NA<T and as I was cleaning the windshield I noticed a tiny little lens that looks like a light sensor or something. It's on the top of the dashboard passenger side. What the heck is this thing? I'm thinking I don't have twilight sentinal like a Cadillac or a Lincoln, so what...

    How Many Daily Drivers?

    I am really curious how many of you drive your Supras on a daily (and I mean everyday) basis? Also, I'd like to know how many people have only the one car (Supra) and must depend on it totally? How modded is it? I hear alot of people say that Supra's aren't reliable daily transportation...

    side glass WTF????

    Has anybody ever replaced their rear side glass? I cannot figure this out :aigo: All I could manage was to get the back corner piece of trim off. I can't figure out how the top piece of trim comes off and I'm not sure what's under it and what's holding the glass on. Any insight into...

    No Flip-up Headlight Conversion

    I see alot of people with the "lazy eye" headlight conversion. Has anyone ever done a headlight conversion whereas the head lights (possibly spots) are mounted in the grille, roughly where the signals wrap around the front maybe with small front signal lights to the inside of the proposed...

    Where Can I Get Adjustable Rr Wing Mounts???

    Anybody know where I can get wing mounts for my CF rear wing? I've been looking but all I can find is mounts w/ wing. :icon_mad: The mounts that came with the wing are getting kinda thrashed. I need the mounts to be no higher then about 3 or 4 inches. Failing that anybody know of any...

    Thermo Sensors Are Different From Yr To Yr

    I've got all kinds of parts laying around 'cause I'm always on the make for supra parts. I'm like horny for them...it's sick. Anyway, I get a 22 code and I reach into my bin of tricks and come out with a thermo (the one on top of the thermostat housing that says 22 and nd on it) and it's all...

    Best Way to Adjust TPS

    The TSRM seems a little vague on this subject to me. So I'm wondering what is the best way to adjust the TPS? Car running or not? If off...key on? If you read that passage of the TSRM on step 1 it says start the car and when you look on the next page for step 2 it never says turn car off, only...

    What A Load Of Crap! I'm Pissed. How Bout You?

    Every month I buy a litany of "performance import car magazines" and every month something is suspiciously missing...Supra Mkiii's! W.T.F? There is a ton of Mkiii's still on the road so I don't buy the arguement that "nobody is interested 'cause there aren't enough of them". If that were the...

    Twin Turbo 7m!!!!

    Why not? Has anybody built one? Is there some reason this can't be done? I can't think of why not. I just haven't seen one yet. I'm sure someone has done this, it's just two (get it) obvious! And why not a twin sequential turbo????... with a little turbo (to spool up) and another the...
