This can be done on the car although it is easier off the car as you have good access. You need to make sure you can fill the oil again before you drain it so make sure you crack off the drain and fill plugs before you commit to anything! If you can do this warm it is recommended but not a...

A lot of people who do this job attempt it with the subframe, diff and fuel tank in place and have a great deal of difficulty. It wakes about 1-2 hours to drop a subframe and you can renew all sorts of bushes, easily change diff oil and get excellent access to the fuel filter while you are at it...

Well, I couldn't keep away from Supras - just got a 2.5TT aero so will be throwing some more guides up from time to time, feedback welcome in the guides directly or here

Guys, this is a guide for disassembly only because I was doing a straight swap for another subframe - the one thing I would mention is if you try and use this for REBUILDING the subframe then be sure you have used matchmarks for camber adjustment bolts and torque up necessary with the weight of...

Thanks goes to John89t for his initial guide, this is hopefully to enhance that for the novice mechanic but was a great help to me making this - thanks John Step 1 - Remove the centre cap to your wheel (jewellers screwdriver helped for mine) so you expose the large bolt that holds the...

Courtesy of Mark3 on mkiiisupra.net: 1st off i plugged the induction passages with tissue, then i drilled the holes out to 10mm, i think the correct size is 10.4mm but i didnt have that size drill, better too small than too big a hole though, lol then get cutting new threads for heli...

All, I'm afraid my Supra days are now over (I've said it many times before but I think this really is it!), I still love the cars and the people but I'm on to other things now. I've posted up all the guides, thanks to Kai for requesting them and SupraCentral for making me immediately welcome...

Background Fitting an amplifier isn't something that should just be relegated to those who like cruising round town centres in the small hours disturbing the locals. Most head units have a relatively low power output e.g. around 15 watts whereas most speakers on the market will start at...

If, like me, you receive a car which has some stickers on that you'd like to remove then don't worry, it's definitely a DIY job. Thanks for this one goes to Paul (Signman) our resident vinyl expert for advice and fluids, much appreciated Step 1 - Here's what I was faced with on either...

The manual gearbox used in the Supra (turbo) is the R154. This has often been described as 'agricultural' and, in all honesty, it's far from sporty! One thing it does do well is hold power though so it's not common to swap it out. There are a number of true short shift kits available from the US...

Special thanks to Angelo (Yardarm1) because without his efforts on his own cylinder head I probably would have never gotten round to finishing this! I started this guide the best part of a year ago but couldn't find time to finish it. Angelo knocked up his own guide which spurred me into action...

This seems to be coming up a lot so here's a bit of information for you :- Dump valves - The purpose of a dump valve (also called a blow off valve or BOV) is to try and reduce 'compressor surge'. When you are boosting in a turbo charged application and come off the throttle suddenly (e.g...

If you want to check on the general status of your engine's health or have a problem and want to narrow down the cause (e.g. a suspect blown head gasket), you can perform a compression test. The purpose of the test is to determine whether each cylinder is holding pressure correctly by fitting a...

Step 1 - Remove the speaker grill, this simply pulls off and there are three clips. It will require moderate force but nothing too hefty Step 2 - Ensure you have the 3 metal clips on the back of the speaker grill as shown, if you left any behind retrieve them now Step 3 - Use a...

OK this isn't exactly rocket science but it's a little different to the norm so for any newbies out there here's how: Step 1 - Switch your headlights to the on position and wait for them to pop up. Once they're fully up rotate back to position one (the one that doesn't seem to do anything)...

The timing on the supra is controlled by the ECU and it will advance/retard as required. To do this, it must have a reference point i.e. a known value which can be set up externally - this is what we are setting here. This is the base timing and it should be set to 10 degrees before top dead...

A long time ago HKS released a series of stages for tuning. This is a bit of an update based on what we’ve learned and what has changed. Power is estimates only and at the crank and there will always be someone out there claiming crazy figures, in reality you’ll often be disappointed if you...

Once you've followed the guide for engine removal and cylinder head stripdown you can move on to stripping the block. A couple of bits are missing (engine mounts and a stay or two) but it's pretty much what you'll be faced with and all the important bits are here. Step 1 - Start with the...
