Sorry for the double post--the below is on SF, but the issue is still an enigma despite about 50 people viewing the thread. I apologize for the length, but please help! Hey everybody. I have an 88T that is acting insanely strange. Tonight, I drove 15 miles or so to a movie theater (meeting a...

Thanks everybody. I couldn't resist, and went ahead and bought the car. I'm in So-Cal and it's in Phoenix; I should be picking it up this Saturday. I found the tutorial on SOGI, and think I'm going to take off the valve covers to evaluate the real difficulty. One deciding factor is if I...

Hahaha, awesome CtSupra; where are you attending school? I'm transferring to UC Berkeley this fall. After your comment about the interior, I did have the thought to swap the interior over...although it seems like it would be nearly impossible to get every single part out of each car, and...

Yeah...honestly, it's a tragic loss going from the beautiful black leather on my current car to the beige/brown fabric of the '88. I simply love my current car inside an out, but once you get to that engine bay or underbody...you see the performance issues :-D I'd like nothing more than my...

I paid $4,200 for my 1992, which is in darned near immaculate condition. In fact, I'm now trying to sell it, and posted the following on Supraforums: "Today I purchased an upgraded 1988 Turbo, and am now going about selling my old Supra, a 1992 N/A. I have some time to sell it, and am...

Boosting! Speaking of that, yeah, I missed it tremendously after test driving a few Turbos before buying my 1992. Ever since then, I've been looking to trade up, and I thought this was a pretty nice car for a decent price...just looking to get everyone's opinion :)

Hi all. I'm on my way to owning a series of these great cars as many of you already have; first, my 1992 non-turbo, and now, a pretty well-stocked 1988 Turbo. The link to the auction I won is below; let me know what you think about the car, and the price paid for it. 56K-user warning on the...

I'm about to buy my second Supra, but it's burning oil on startup and deceleration. The piston rings are brand new, and the turbo was just rebuilt, so I'm pretty sure the valve guides/stem seals are bad. I have heard that the head does not need to be removed in order to replace them, and am...

Well, when I was looking over the system, I was expecting some sort of way to adjust where the end of the cable attached to the throttle system, al la bicycle brakes/gears. When I saw the nuts and rods connecting the cables to some sort of post, I just assumed it was a pecuiliar way to fasten...

Alright, I've gone ahead and taken some pictures, because I'm still dumbfounded as to how to do this. It seems as though it would be extremely straightforward, but at least for me, that's not the case. Take a look at these: I could be missing something, but it just seems as...

Hey everybody. In my N/A, the accelerator is reasonably loose/unresponsive compared to other cars. It's not terrible, but because something like this seems as though it would be pretty easy to adjust, I'd like to fix it. I've looked at the accelerator cabling connected to the throttle body...

Problem solved! Very strangely, it was fixed by shifting the automatic transmission around when the car was off, by using the "shift-lock override" button. I was thinking from the beginning that the car was somehow confused about the transmission position, because it is designed to do exactly...

To answer the first poster, no, the steering is not locked. The car starts fine and moves to other stages of the key-turn normally. Jeff, the "ignition lock"-- is that something other than the device the key is inserted into? Where/how could I replace this? I suppose I'll have to take it...

I recently had a minor accident during which my car slid out of control, into a curb. No structural damage, no airbag deployment, although one tire was torn by the rim. When I got the car home, I pulled the EFI fuse to see if the computer just needed to be reset; sure enough, I got my key...

Now, I'm far from knowing my terminology in this area, but I'm not so sure I'm looking for headers to replace the exhaust manifold...indeed, the N/A upgrade "guide" located here implies that headers will only lead to the first cat, not replace it. Indeed, I think all I need is a pretty short...

In reference to the mentioned '90+ California cars, is there a way to avoid the ECU error code when the EGR temperature sensor is not getting readings?

Hey everybody. I've got a 1992 N/A with severe oil leaks (front/rear main seal, and oil pan gasket); thus I'm going to have to pull the engine in order to fix them. While the engine is removed, I can't bear reinstalling the first catalytic converter; of course, it robs power, but it also...

Just wondering how much the N/A gas tank holds; I suspect it is not the 18.5 gallon figure I've seen before (might have been the turbo). Does anyone know the exact figure? Year is 1992, although that's probably not important information. Thanks, -- Scott Goodson

Well, I might actually need an AFM, depending on if mine is going bad or not. Currently, my car is getting pretty horrific gas milage, and it may be related to the AFM (I would think maybe, but I really have no idea). I drive my car reasonably hard, both in city and on the highway, but my...

Hey, thanks everyone. It's nice to know that the effect of the mod is negligible, coming from people who know what they're doing. On top of that, Toyota's engineers set up the system to begin with, and I'm sure they have some pretty good reasons for setting up the car the way it is. That...
