So a code 51 is most likely the TPS? Thats what I was guessing, my car is throwing me that one and 52, which I feel is more serious so I am fixing that one first, but anyway, could that be caused by a loose throttle cable? My cable is really loose, is there anyway to adjust it? I couldnt seem to...

Ok, I am new to supra's, so maybe they just sound like this, but most of the time all I can hear is my cooling fan. It is load enough that it is slighty annoying at freeway speeds. It seems to me that it shouldnt be that loud, it sounds like a diesel pickup or something. I dont even really have...

I had an idea to convert the headlight washer to a intercooler spray. It seems that this would be pretty easy, all the tubing, wiring pump, everything is already there! Anybody tried this or heard about it? If I do it, I think I would find some nozzles that spray a wider pattern, more of a mist...

TWO!?! Crap, I only found one so far. Yeah, the damned thing basically fell out of my car.

Anybody know where I can get a knock sensor cheaper then $115? Thats what O'Rielly's wants, and I tried a couple online parts stores but I couldnt find one at all.

Ok, it gave me code 51 and 52. I found the knock sensor, and it is real screwed up, like broken. I will have to get a new one.

Is the knock sensor a common problem on these cars? Is it hard to get to? I will check it tomorrow, I am going to be working on it anyway. Thanks guys!

Ok my 87 turbo that I recently bought is way underpowered. Power builds smoothly up to 3000rpm, and then nothing and then it is just flat, no more power, and it basically won't rev past 5. It is throwing a code at me, so I took it to my mechanic friend to plug into to his machine, but he is...

over 90% of it's peak torque available from 1600 RPM? Really? Man I drove a envoy, and it had nothing down low, you really had to rev it out to get the thing to move. But, it sounds like a badass engine, and it doesnt sound like anything gm would make. Actually, I would not say it is there best...

I had a set of 712's on a NX2000 a couple years ago. I liked them, I thought they gripped almost as well as the dunlop 8000's for alot cheaper. They are great in the rain until about half way through there tread life. Many of the sipes that help with water evacuation are not very deep, and by...

Funny, I have a similar noise also! Happens when I am putting load on the right tire when turning left.

Yeah, we should get together with the OK guys, doenst sound like it is to far for most of us. I was over at Hallet Motor Racing Circut (about 45 mins west of Tulsa on 412) today. I didnt take my car, in its current state it would be useless on the track, but for like $125 you can run in High...

I think I have the same problem, but I just bought my car and just got it running, but man, it is SLOW right now. My car was supposed to have a new timing belt, I even have the receipt for it. I was going to check the intercooler piping for leaks tomorrow, so I am glad to here that is what fixed...

here check this site out, and then go measure your car. This site is assuming that the total tire height doenst change though. http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

yeah, that was what I was going to say. Try it again with a full tank of gas and see what happens, it shouldnt do it if fuel slosh is the problem.

I am in Fayetteville, I just bought a 87 Targa Turbo last week. I saw a maroon turbo, 89+ I think, in Springdale last week, it was really nice. Mine is rough, but I paid next to nothing for it and I have it running now. I have a boost leak I am pretty sure, but I wont have time till next week to...

It has the stock intake, and I guess you could call the exhuast stock...it is rusted off halfway past the cat. Plan on getting a 935 MS exhaust, one of their custom money savers. Oh, another thing, I cant hear anything over the cooling fan! it is freakin loud and it makes the thing sound like a...

Ok so I took apart all the crap on top of the engine yesterday with the intent of doing a compression test, only to realize that my compression tester sucks, and would not seal. So instead of buying a new one that I was only going to use every 4 years or something, I just bought some spark...

It's ALIVE!! I decided to clean all the connections one more time before I went to the trouble of taking the dam starter out, and it turns out they were pretty dirty. Then I beat on the starter (sometimes knocks the magnets loose I heard), and the beast started right up! Well kinda... I am sure...

oops, sorry! I will repost.
