Not much has been going on with the '88 recently, as i've been focusing temporarily on the new '89 so i can get it running as a daily driver. But i did finish a little pet project for her. Withe the IC setup and front lip on, I was afraid that the front tow hooks would be somewhat useless, so I...
Also, I went ahead and replaced the armrest cover. The original is actually in really good shape, with just the barest hint of one seam pulling a bit.
But I figured that I may as well go with the new one.
Agreed, Unless you're willing to pay crazy prices. I was getting ready to try and talk a guy DOWN to $6,000 from $7,000 on a '90 na.
And that car had bad AC, leaking power steering, crack in the front bumper, and ruined drivers' side carpet!
Got this car for nearly 1/3 that asking price...
If the knock sensor circuit is showing fault(code 52), then there's no point in trying to tune the SAFC until you repair it.
PS- If you installed the SAFC in order to improve efficiency, then I'm guessing that you've had code 52 for awhile, as that will kill mileage.
Interesting note:
The previous owner purchased the car from a young woman. When he got it, the glovebox latch was broken in the locked position, and he had never been able to open it.
After about 10 minutes of trying to pry the latch, I finally ended up just using a hacksaw blade to slice...
Hey guys,
Some of you may have looked over my other build thread- "Project Get'R done", a build that is now going on 3+ years that covers every single part of the vehicle, for restoration and modification of my '88.
This won't be that.
I hope to finish that car by this fall, but in the...
On a side note, I finally got my second Supra.
I have been looking actively(money in hand) for over 2 months, for a decent car east of the Mississippi, and nothing was available at all, that fit my description:
1. CLEAN, in and out
2. NA as a preference
3. MANUAL tranny
4. Targa or 91-92...
So, at a minimum, you need a new head, piston set and gasket set. Then some machine work.
If youre looking to get it on the road as soon as possible, then buying a good second hand motor is your best bet.
The fact that you melted a piston, tells me you may also have issues with fuel pressure, or...
It all depends on your horsepower goal.
If ~350rwhp were to be your goal(very realistic, given your stock block), then all you would need is:
Everything you already have,
Better injectors(RC550's, EVO 560's)
Freeflow air filter/ intake
A good tune.
No need for additional piggyback or standalone...
Probably a good choice. Most people cut out the grill to make a 'big mouth' look, but don't blend in or clean up the cut mount points, and don't support the lower section in any way, causing it to distort.
Clean 89+ bumpers are getting harder to find.
