    Kiraush's Dream Car

    I'll take your word for it and cross my fingers, I don't believe it sounded like that but I'm not driving until it's fixed, so I can't go test drive it to check the sound. :P Love her too much, and love having a 7M too much to abuse either of them.

    If this can wait a couple months I would even drive up to Portland and join you guys/join you on the drive up there (if it's in washington) Gotta fix the BHG I just started the new year with

    Kiraush's Dream Car

    Oh, I got a lot more replies than I had thought. Yupyup! Messed with the timing a little bit, that was a few days after my first start. Hoping my gasket going out didn't cause a rod knock, I've never heard one in person so I don't know what they sound like but my engine certainly sounded a lot...

    I do, I'm sure I can secure it somehow. I'm pretty crafty :P First Blown Headgasket on 1/1/14 Great way to start off the year, going to try to sell a few things I have lying around if I can find anything worth money and get an ARP kit

    Kiraush's Dream Car

    That's right across the bridge from Portland isn't it? I'd most certainly take you up on that at if so, I love meeting new Supra owners, was a treat meeting John and Matthew Kendall in Stayton when I bought my shell from John, considering he's the biggest player in the "Saving Oregon's Supras"...

    Kiraush's Dream Car

    I might need a new accordion pipe if the guy I'm trying to buy one from falls through, but I think we'll get it all figured out. We're both just hit-and-missing each other because of the holidays. I do have a curiousity though, walked out of Fred Meyer (Grocery store) to some kids standing...

    Question(s) about importing a Toyota Soarer

    So I was wondering if you guys could help me with something. Basically, I sat down a few days ago to figure out a few things that I want to be part of my current "5-Year plan" and after a bit of thinking I've decided I want my 1987 Toyota Supra to be my show car and I want to purchase a 1988...

    Car jerks when accelerating quickly?

    I may have found the problem, but I'm not sure if this hose is pressurized There's a missing clamp (completely gone) on this hose (highlighted): Sadly I cannot put a new one on it till after work tomorrow, but that's not a huge problem.

    Car jerks when accelerating quickly?

    Not extremely mechanically savvy yet, so I'm not sure what a CEL is. I just bought the car about a month and a half ago and I've been working in it to the best of my ability but boost leaks I have not checked. Out of sheer curiosity, (and hope that you'll tell me yes and to get rid of it) would...

    Car jerks when accelerating quickly?

    Don't have much info on this because I can't figure out anything consistent that is happening when it happens, the first time it happened I was in third gear around 5,000 RPMs and this morning while I was driving my roommate to work it happened in second gear at about 4,000 RPMs The only...

    Gotta ask this once more (white smoke)

    Alright, I already asked this once before, but I've gotten so many different answers that I need to ask again and throw some "facts" I've gotten. I have white smoke at start up, only in the mornings and after the car has been sitting for a little while (I would say about an hour) The...

    Exhaust sputtering and engine shaking

    I think my grandfather has a couple laying around his shop, he keeps a few stocked in case any of his go out. It's done that like twice, once a couple weeks ago and once a few days ago. When I noticed that it was cold, but I am about to go buy a few parts so I'll check and edit this post...

    Exhaust sputtering and engine shaking

    Rain or Shine, Cold or Hot, if I start up my Supra the exhaust has a light "putt putt putt putt" noise coming from it, and the engine is shaking a bit. I just had my power steering pump "explode" and had fluid all over everything under my hood, riding without power steering right now as I'm...
