I am finally getting the car painted and body finished. Any suggestions for what I may want to make sure I do or NOT do.. lol?? I plan on using Shine Auto front bumper add-on (keeping bumper 88 style) and the rear bumper addons along with the same sideskirts that Rodel has (the Shine...

I am looking at buying a 89 Supra with a 7MGTE that was fully rebuilt (new block, etc.. ) at RCTS (in Calgary, AB, Canada.. some of you may be familiar with Reg) in 2005. Two things are holding me back from slapping the cash down. 1. How much mileage can you get out of a PROPERLY built 7MGTE...

I just bought an 1987 MKIII with a 7MGE. The engine doesnt turn over and the PO provided no info on what is wrong other than "it wont start". Can anyone point me towards where I can start to figger out if the engine is seized or just "funky". Currently when I turn the start, I can hear it...

Learning more as time goes by.. lol.. so now I am trying to figure out AEM Wideband gauges. I assume that the AEM wideband basically monitors the Air/fuel mixture in the MKIII, but past that I am just wondering how you utilize the info. Does it protect the engine or just warn you if you are...

I just sold my 87 and it had the Megan's on it and I found them a bit too stiff. Great for handling, but overall I felt that if I was in the car for over an hour I would get a bit of a cramp in my lower back. So, I am looking at the Stance GR plus Coilovers (driftmotion). Just wondering if...

2 days ago, my 87 MKIII started doing something odd. I noticed while looking at it from my living room window. The Battery light was on and the door ajar light was on. (and.. so were the door lights that are at the bottom corner) I dont have an interior in the car from the front seat back...

This is a bit of a read (so I can get it all across). I am probably (most likely) buying a 1987 Supra tomorrow. Here's the Kijiji link: http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1987-Toyota-Supra-Hatchback-W0QQAdIdZ234806930 Grey leather interior in it (back seats are shot...

This one is kind of odd and I am wondering if anyone has heard of it or had it happen. My 90 MKIII wont go into first gear unless I push the shifter very firmly towards the top of first. If I let up just a little bit it will grind and pop it into neutral. There is an audible "clunk" right as it...

Okay, I've finally got the go ahead (financially) from the wife (who now likes my Supra... cause I fixed her van.. lol). I need to get an exhaust for my car. I am running full stock atm... but do plan on upgrading in the future. I think the only turbo upgrade I will go with will probably be...

Okay, I knew about a little hole I had in the wheel well (driver side) for a while. However.. what I didn't realise what was going to happen. The water would come in the hole, along with dirt.. I knew that part, so if I drove in water, I tried to clean it out afterwards (preventative medicine...

I had purchased my 88 MKIII and had it mechanically inspected, appraised etc.. and all the lights, etc.. worked. Then I pulled the CD player out and replaced it with a JVC KDAVX11 (DVD+Video+MP3) (was a Kenwood KAC-6295). Since then.. if I hit the brakes, one brake light goes out, the Climate...

Well.. winter is holding off, so my upgrades are put on hold until the snow hits, but I have some problems with my 88 Supra, and wonder if anyone can clue me in to what I should be looking at. First... the car is damn hard to shift into second gear, or out of second and back into first...

I wonder if any of you can point me in the right direction for this problem (if it is indeed a problem) I am preparing to do a lot of work to my 88 Supra Turbo over the winter as I find that the previous owner, while doing some good stuff to the car, beat the hell out of the drive train. All...

I have searched the forums but I may have the incorrect name for this part. Its the hose that comes from under the oil filler cap (where you put the oil into the engine) and snakes behind the altenator to go back into the block above the oil pan. Mine is leaking at the bottom and I want to...

Added this summary up top for those that are curious, but would like to save the time of a massive read... lol The question is BELOW the summary! I have decided to run OEM Platinum NGK's (the OEM just means... TSRM specified) as I am not upgrading high enough to warrant fudging with Iridiums...

Hello, I just replaced my clutch hose and while under the car I noticed these hoses (took of the rockplate before I realised I didnt need to...) If you look at the leaking hose, that has to be replaced Im thinking and I already plan to hardpipe the intercooler (staying with the stock...

Hello, I just signed aboard. Was looking over the info and thought, "what a great site!" I have owned many Toyotas over the years and customized a couple in my teens. Now that my kids are grown a bit... (6 of 'em), I finally got my "dream-machine"... a 1988 MKIII. Here's my baby...:love...
