    There are some pics of when I got it from roundfinger. Found her for sale on this site. Car came out of nw Fl. The H&R springs made a world of difference in the car. The intrax springs on it made it sit nose high. I hope I have the arbors to press the rear suspension bushings out or looks like...

    Article: The great fuel filter myth.

    Very informative post. Porsche went one better. They eliminated the external filter all together and made it part of the fuel tank sending unit. Some don't even have that just the pick up sock in the tank. But seeing as my 87 mkIII is reaching the replacement age I might just do it if it hasn't...

    1JZ Part - Oil cooler adapter?

    As above, as long as you didn't have metal floating around in the oil you'll be o.k. What little foreign material that was in the oil should be able to be cleaned out of the cooler You could also look at a aftermarket cooler that would replace the little factory one. The cooler you run the oil...

    1jzgte oil pressure

My next problem may be in the turbos. I need to double check but my boost level was about .5kpa/7 psi. any one know about what...

    1jzgte oil pressure

    I'm trying to determine if I have a problem or not with my oil pressure. I have good pressure when at idle. 20 psi but when the car is at 3k or more the pressure appears to go no higher than 40-50 psi. This is all on the in dash gauge. I will have to put my mechanical gauge on it to confirm...

    My pictures of jza70r

    How do you like the Tein S tech springs. The intrax on mine are going to have to go. The front sits too high, nose high attitude. Was looking at the Tein, H&R or Eibach. all seem to lower the car about the same amount.

    I'l take some pics either later today or Monday when I get her to the shop at work ( love working at a Porsche dealer ) Really don't know where I want to start. There isn't a lot to do to her. I might try to find a set of H&R or Eibach springs. And maybe try to find a late model rear hatch...

    Buying my first MKIII 1jzgte car

    Thanks to all, Picked up the car last night. I don't know what all the torque over the 7m motor is. Compared to my rb20det 240sx this is by far a MUCH better motor and car. Might try to round up some taller gears for her. And thanks to Roundfinger for a great car. The supra is the car I've been...

    Buying my first MKIII 1jzgte car

    Going down to Fl to buy my MKIII today. Anything I should look for or be aware of on these cars. Can't wait to drive her back I have always liked the MkIII. Wish it was a 2jz car but that can always be done later.
