The other issue with cold snowy weather is when the glass freezes to the weather seal. I often have to leave the window down slightly so I can open the door in the mornings.

I have heard they are very particular about their 80mph stretches too. When the weather warms up again look me up, I would be interested in meeting other Supra owners. I am amazed that I have never seen your buddy's car around here. With a car that nice I would be afraid of taking it out on...

The damper needs to be in place for the tool to work. The notches in the tool line up with the bolt holes in the pulley.

My cars color would best be described as peeling silver paint with light blue underneath (It had just been painted when I bought it) and an Obama Sucks bumper sticker

Lets see those custom tools that you made just for working on your Supras. Here is the crank holding tool that I use.

Maybe if you were cruising in AF I would go.

I have a Fidanza with a stage three clutch. Bad combo on the street as a daily driver. I am thinking of changing just the clutch to something milder and keeping the lightened flywheel. I too am interested in experienced opinions. I really enjoy the quick response with the lightened flywheel...

I had difficulty getting mine to pass also. Started with the basics and was embarassed to find a burned spark plug wire and timing that was set at 15 instead of 10deg. Also replaced some questionable vac lines then retested and passed. Mine failed due to high HC though.

Park it somewhere safe, wrap it in a tarp and let it sit until you feel better.

3500 miles since engine was rebuilt. Only mods are 3" exhuast, boost control valve, K&N type air filter and Cometic head gasket. I am concerned by the drastic change since the last test.

1987, rebuilt engine with cometic, 3" pipe, boost control valve set at 9 -10 etc. basically stock. At no load about 2k t0 2400 rpm slight "burble" or sputter is heard through the exhaust. Never a hesitation or a mis-fire under load. I first noticed it when it was being emission tested. It...

Put it in the back of the truck and take it to a tire store that has a 3/4 drive impact wrench used on large trucks. Gaurantee it would be off with one pull of the trigger!

When the next six weekends and hollidays are all booked up with things to do, all involving a Supra

Three years ago I bought my Supra with a BHG. The price was right, the body straight and it had just been frehly painted. Little did I know what was in store. The first indicator something was wrong came a few months later when I was using a pressure washer and half the paint came off of the...

"Trim tape to pull up the edges"? You have piqued my curiosity, tell me more

Last Saturday the small town in which I live (population 30k) held their 10th annual car show. I wasn't able to bring my Supra because it is apart getting ready for paint. There were well over 150 cars but with the exception of two classic bugs an MG and a Lotus, there were no imports. Just...

Is it possible / worth the effort to recalibrate the stock boost gauge to show a higher boost reading? I did a search for "recalibrate guage" and nothing was found. I am thinking it would be relatively simple to create a new face that could show the higher number if the gauge could be adjusted.

Out of principle I agree, however, this was a situation where the "system" left no option and filling the forms out right there was an "in your face" response by an immortal teenager! I had a title for the car just no signed BOS. I t was a long time ago (1970s) and I certainly don't condone...

Many years ago I bought a car that "needed work" from a guy that bought it from a guy that was given to him by a guy etc. etc.. When I went to the DMV in San Clemente the lady said I needed a bill of sale from each of those prior owners! She handed me about 5 forms and said have a nice day. I...
