    The restoration proceeds. Body advice please.

    I live in Acworth. 30102. I've also lived here less than a year so knowing the area isnt my strong suit. Also: awesome avatar!

    The restoration proceeds. Body advice please.

    So I got a MK3 about 6 or 7 months ago. In a dreadful state in terms of electrics and body. Though mechanically was excellent. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36785&highlight=count+knobula There was my intro thread. So after much work the car is running well. Starts...

    Engine cut out. Advice please.

    Gave it a go. The battery is fairly new so there wasn't much to clean. It might be related to the ignition circuit somehow. Has run fine every day since the incident though..........

    Engine cut out. Advice please.

    Actually, another thing that (may) be relevant: My key isn't very good. Upon insertion into the err keyhole sometimes it needs a bit of persuasion, and it sometimes drops slightly in it's positioning. Hasn't been a problem before (apart from when starting up). Any chance of it being that?

    Engine cut out. Advice please.

    You mean it started up again or did you reconnect?

    Engine cut out. Advice please.

    The wife's driving it at the moment (short commute, coupla miles) and this morning everything decided to cut out. All that was still working was the stereo. She steered it to the side (with no power steering of course), parked it and started up again. All fine and dandy and off she went...

    Driveshaft part. Seems overpriced.

    That IS the discounted price. Undiscounted = 265. He's looking around other places for me in his spare time. No online sources that any of you guys use? :-(

    Driveshaft part. Seems overpriced.

    So the long road to getting my supra ship shape (before the aesthetics anyway) rumbles on. My mechanic (friend) and I have traced some troublesome vibration to the "driveshaft support". Toyota want around $200 for a new one. My mechanic says it's way too much and they usually go for way...

    Front bumper for my car. (sorry if wrong board)

    That's odd. Mine looks like the higher one, but HAD a grill there........... What kinda price should I be looking for? So I should say 89-92 for year?

    Front bumper for my car. (sorry if wrong board)

    Since this isn't really technical, I guess I'm having trouble deciding where to post this. Anyway. I'm a newbie to bodywork, but my 89 turbo has a messed up front bumper. The previous owner CUT OUT the grill near the bottom and it's kinda sagged at the bottom. An OEM replacement is $305...

    A/C Compressor Not Engaging

    This I am not sure of. Mechanic said it's got a pressure of 30 at some point (we talked about a lot of stuff).

    A/C Compressor Not Engaging

    When trying to use my AC the compressor does not engage. When it's bypassed we can get it to work and it has more than enough freon in it. Basically it's not getting the signal. Any ideas?

    Code 22 A headscratcher.

    Gonna be doing some checks on the circuit tonight but first must check the transmission. Yesterday it just err stopped working. Got up to 20mph then all the power was there but not getting to the wheels. Then on the trip home the car was fine. Gonna put it up on a lift and check just to make...

    Code 22 A headscratcher.

    So I'm getting code 22. Water temp sensor (according to alldata) apparently. The car has a cold start problem. CSI, despite the fact it works(tested), does not get the signal to work when it should. The water temp sensor seems to work. It was changed (as the prev. one was kaput). Help...
