    Driver's Seat reclining on its own ???

    Thanks, but the '87 did not come with the power recline, only the up/down/forward/back/tilt for the bottom portion.

    Driver's Seat reclining on its own ???

    Have any of you guys ever noticed your drivers seat reclining on it's own? I've owned two MKIII's and both have done this. It's never really noticable like its falling back as if it is broken or anything. I'm not high on anything and I am the only person who ever drives my car, but I NEVER...

    Best Wheels

    Polished '96 MKIV Twin Turbo 17" is one of the best looks, keeping a stockish look with a musclecar stance.

    new rims for my supra !

    I agree, they look pretty nice. May I point out that the centers appear to match your bodyside moldings with the choice you selected. Only thing I would have changed is by going with a wider wheel in particular at the rear, but for the $, excellent upgrade.

    chrome sawblades?????

    actually, many Toyota dealerships offered the chrome wheels as options, likely thru a vendor, not the manufacture. You can tell which ones came from dealerships as the insides of all the cutouts are painted black. I had a set on my 86.5 that I purchased off ebay and just sold them on ebay a...

    insurance help

    You could contact your state insurance commissioner and see if there is anything you can do, however when you sign papers for an insurance policy you are not purchasing a car and an agent only gives you a "quote" based on what you verbally tell him. After you agree to having him insure you all...

    92 SUPRA ACCIDENT

    OUCH! Now that is just sad, clearly a total loss by insurance standards. What even makes it worse is that it's a '92 with such low production #'s, it being Black with the dark charcoal interior. I am soo sorry. I just hope it was not YOUR fault. If so, you should be sentenced to the firing...

    Question about European twin turbo MKIII spare tire

    Okay, can someone tell us why the spare tire on the European twin turbo MKIII's doesn't fully fit within the rear pan? I had a 1988 Alltrac Turbo Celica and the reason the spare tire was raised up beyond the normal level was because it was an allwheel drive. Do the European cars have larger...

    Tire Question

    I think the best thing you should do is stop by any tire store, such as Discount Tire and they should be able to tell ya for free, besides that I know that a 10 inch wide rim will fit but not sure about the offset. Tires should be safe for atleast a 285. I have 275's on my 9.5 inch rims with...

    Oil burning during winter storage

    It's not the turbo, when she goes, it will blow white smoke not blue. From what I heard about turbo cars and storing them, is to start them more often than n/a cars and was told by my mechanic that it is common of turbo cars to blow blue smoke after sitting for a bit. Mine did after 2 weeks of...

    Engine Start then stall

    ChadMKIII: Thanks for the response and link to the diagnostic codes. It may be a few days before I get the time to check the codes. Anyways, it's really no big thing as my car only does this maybe once a month or so and like I said, the 2nd car that has done this and yes, you pinned it right...

    Engine Start then stall

    Does anyone know what's the deal with starting your MKIII and it will not go into nomral idle and simply stall out on ya? I've had an 86.5-n/a and an 87-turbo and both have done this on occasion. I'm sure you guys have had the same thing happen and it seems to only do it when the engine's...
