And bookmark this for later, http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/techtips.aspx Just found how I am going to do this one. I am making a pyro peto's wet dream. A kiddy pool filled with gas.

There will be not be a restore for at least a year, I bought this to road trip in. After that I will decide if I want to go through a full tear down and bring her back to glory. Right now it is a rip and roll op. This is my only car right now and I need to get her on the road asap for as little...

So I am taking a gas bath by pulling the plug on my tank tomorrow. No choice. Looking for suggestions on what to catch half a tank of gas in.....lot of gas. And I am onlt going to. Be able to raise her maybe 2 foot.

Here is the motor pis aj asked for

i reposted something i saw about what adjusting your cams does on my blog....didn't know what else to do with it because i need to reference it in a few days. it has been kinda a personal thing to me to fit the way i want to drive my car, not sure how you feel about it. but either way it's one...

aloshan, if i had the time and money to get into a full strip down/refit i would, this is a sweet little $500 dollar car that i plan on driving for a year or two before i start pulling motors and trannys. i think i will do 2 3 9 and 10.....probably 6 too but i like the two tone brown, it was...

so, any ideas? i got the tank being pulled cleaned and a new fuel pump going in. assuming it runs then i am going to do a seafoam cleanse (is that the best thing) of things and see what comes out. what elese is there to do? flip/flush fluids, belts, plugs/wires and rust...... would you do...

Here in pittsburgh "most of it's life in a garage" means anything that will drip dry will. The front fenders.....they fill with wet sand and salt. Have a set of fiberglass that came with to take care of most of the rust. The underside is clean for the north east. I will throw up more pics when...

Shit just noticed how old this thread is.....

Don't listen to these "not bad" guys. That is a great find!! I just picked one with the same leather and I am learing to bring it back. I mean come on leather. And rust on these doesn't seen to me a problem here in pgh. I got the most rusted one I have seen and it needs new from fenders and that...

Mmmm repeats, hadr to edit on a phone

yes sir.....hold up you are older than I am right?

That was my first thought, so I. Pulled the access cover and hooked a battery right up to the plug......nothing. I was pissed because that ment I had to tow it home. Thanks for the link it will come in handy soon.

Hey guys, I am the new owner of a 1987 supra n/a. All and all it is in good shape. It spent most of it's life in a garage, up intill this summer, and was driven by a cranky old man from the time it was new. But something went wrong and he parked it. It was found last winter and picked up...

Dam suprapowaz, thank you for that pic, have never delt with a car that sat for as long as this one did, and I don't really know all that can go to crap by just sitting. Ii understand how without a proper soak and clean that much rust would eat up the new pump in a matter of minuets. Lucky for...

I hard wired my fuel pump, got a tape suck in the player (now making a horriable noise) and check my valve clearences. Still getting to know her, just got her home yesterday.

Thanks, the car sat since 03 till the end of this winter, I can not imagain that he would try to use the same gas but I am still suprized by people once in a wile. He did mention a rat problem that chewed up some of the wireing. Would love to save the pump because acording to him he spent...

Hi everybody!, given this is my first real post I am starting with a joke, those who don't have a sence of humor please skip to the next paragraph. Chicken and an egg are laying in bed, chicken is nice and relaxed smoking a cig, egg rolls over to him and says "well I guess we answered that...

Well grim I think you just helped me spend my next few paychecks in that last post. Some solid ideas. I had forgotten about progressive springs, that one is a real good call. I have a windows 7 netbook that I would be willing to slap into this project, still not sure that on the roll tuneing...

That is good to hear, would be a shame to scrap her, have wanted one since I drove my friends mk2 in high school. I love turning wrenches, it is my time of peace. This will be my fifth restore/rebuild, last one was a zj (grand Cherokee) bought that one in the same shape for the same price...
