    electrical, short?

    I have been getting some flickering of three warning lights simultaniously. The battery, E-brake, and that tail light warning light are flickering during city driving. All three come on and go off together. Just a short somewhere? Is that a code the car is trying to tell me something? Or just...

    steering wheel feel

    My n/a 88 had a great feel to the handling. Steering wheel feel was just right for tight twisty roads. Sold that car. Now I have a '90 turbo and the steering wheel is so easy to turn it just doesnt have the "feel" of the good handling machine it is. Anyone feel the same or deal with this at all.

    Blinking O/D Light after Manual Swap

    Is your ECU for manual or Auto? The ECU should say M/T on it? Not sure if that would be reason for blinking but the Prev owner did the swap on mine and I noticed he swapped the ECU. I ended up swapping my instrument cluster for a manual trans cluster as well.

    replacing lifter shims

    Ive done it twice without removing cams, no problem. Once with large flat screwdriver and magnet. Then once with the toyota special tool and magnet, which was even better. If you dont remove the cams just follow the tsrm http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=7

    This has been resolved, not sure what it was. Car had a low battery when it happened. After charging the bat all night it was fine. Not sure if that was related, but no problems since.

    mk3 4 a first car

    I dont recomend it for a first car. Only because first cars tend to get abused, and MKIII require alot of love (maintenance). Also I know how I beat on my first car (or two) so I hate to see one get wrecked by an inexperienced driver (saw it happen to a freind's son mint 88 n/a). Thats my...

    Installing a CT26 with Engine in-situ

    I went with the softline kit and thought it was totally worth it. It wasnt easy either and had its own issues, but the feed line WAS easy.

    1200 rpm idle, is there any..

    ..anything obvious that could be unplugged or failed that would cause my idle to go from a near perfect idle 700rpm consistantly, to starting it today and it idle at a steady smooth 1200rpm. Runs fine, no codes but cant figure what could have happened while it was sitting that would cause it.

    backfire during shifting under boost

    When I shift gears I am getting what sounds like a backfire out of the tail pipe under boost. Could my stock bov not be opening? I only have about 20mi on car with new turbo, running very well otherwise.
