    My 1986.5 Supra build up thread

    Basically everything I had in this post is no longer valid.

    no power so slow

    I was having a similar problem and it turned out my fuel system was holding me back a little bit (FPR had a leak...almost turned out bad...), It kept hanging up when I hit the gas.

    Can't find a Supra, so what did I do to compensate?

    This sounds like its going downhill fast...in fact I don't think I've seen anything about a 7m-gte ae86 in awhile...

    greenish white foamy stuff??

    Yeah I was lucky and made a good friendship with a real good local shop thats way to high class for the area I live in. They charged me like $15 an hour for labor and did a awesome job... All I did was start hanging out with the local guys in my area that had nice modded cars and they seem...

    greenish white foamy stuff??

    Yeah if you arnt sure whats going on and don't have time to dig in yourself I would suggest taking it to a professional to have it looked at. They will probably charge a little bit but its well worth it in my opinion. When I was having some wierd problems with my car I had it taken to a local...

    Is German Castrol really going the way of the dinosaur?

    If anyone has the means to get out here and wants to, there is ALOT of the m07 stuff here in a nearby town called Utica in New York. I bought 17 quarts last night from the shelf and they guy said there were a good number of cases in the back. Most of the bottles I bought are M07234. I havent...

    What is best exhaust system

    Yeah sometimes loud isnt always as its cracked up to be. Really you might just want to find a tone you like rather than trying to get the loudest. On my car the previous owner said it was a custom made exhaust when I bought it (turns out to be a custom made by him in his garage with a welding...

    Can't find a Supra, so what did I do to compensate?

    Don't forget that the curb weight of the car is most of the time the weight of the car with the engine it has, and different engines can often times weigh much different weights, so a 2100lb car with the engine it has might be a 2500lb car with a different one (not a 7m specifically, I'm not...

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    If your car is at risk from deer, then the guy passing you should not be a bigger concern. I notice it tends to piss people off alot more when you refuse to race them than when you partake in dangerous nonsense, so he would just go home angry if you didnt race him. Also on a side note...

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    Well guys with celicas are the only guys I know who brag about the 2zz all day long. After all one time I saw this guy with a bright green exige at a car show who didnt know the difference between his cylinder head and his intake manifold. Probably much less that it was a 2zz...

    '88 vs. Lotus Exige

    Yeah the lotus elise/exige has the 2zz motor tuned to different levels for each, and I think the exige has to be an exige s to be supercharged. And yes the 2zz is a toyota engine, its in the 7th gen celica gt-s and the corolla xrs and the matrix xrs I believe. It sounds like a good race...

    Welcome to SM indeed, don't listen to any of these guys, keep the 7m and blue hoses.

    Can't find a Supra, so what did I do to compensate?

    Sounds like a good plan to me, I think every toyota should have a 7m:evil2: Yeah anyway though it seems like it might be easier than say, swapping a 7m into a 7th gen celica? Just trying to keep your hopes up. But on the other hand, wouldnt the car weigh a bit more with the 7m in it than...

    ice (woohoo)

    Yeah there is no way I'm going to let anything even build up on my mk3 this winter, be it salt, snow, or ice. Its just going to mean a little extra effort on my part though.

    7m-gte idleing prob

    I'm having a similar problem, but I recently had all the vac lines replaced, and the problem has decreased, but is still there to a small degree. Also it has a hard time starting and if I dont hit the gas real quick when it starts it will stall right out again when its a little cold (maybe...
