    Guages Dont Work HELP!!!!

    Hmm, don't just check the 7.5a fuses.. somebody could have replaced one of them with a stronger one if they where having an issue with the fuse blowing all the time... first I would find out exactly which fuse it is by using the reference chart on the back of the kickpanel

    Car wont start, no fuel?

    probably nothing to sweat over... definately sounds like it could be an electrical issue for sure... maybe check to make sure the afm is plugged in? I guess the engine would run for a second then sputter and die when you give it gas if that where the case.. but worth checking considering it's in...

    Painted the Sawblades! *PICS*

    Looking for some advise

    They put out about 200hp at the crank when new (so 21 years of wear and tear will definately lower that number) and about 186 for torque, again at the crank... If you are looking for a daily driver the supra might not be a good choice unless you have a place to be able to work on it,the...
