    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    I agree....... You ever wonder what the kid in the Civic says to himself when he sees you thundering toward him in his rear view ???

    turbo questions

    My turbo just went bad... Blue puff of smoke on decelleration, shaft play, etc... Black smoke is usually unburned fuel... A good tune up with nice spark plugs/wires maybe???

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    The back, the front, the sides, inside, outside, the people rubbernecking trying to catch a peek, the Honda kids running for cover... There's not a whole lot not to like, except the maze of wires and hoses when you open the hood....

    Intermittent Puff of Smoke... Causes ???

    OK, this is a little perplexing. I have a good puff of smoke at decelerated stop... once or twice out of 10 stops. About 1200 miles on rebuilt engine, 5-30 synthetic blend, no other signs of failure other than a turbo with a small amount of shaft play. I was thinking turbo, or BOV...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I've watched a few of the how to's on you tube, but they are all on cars with nice looking tint, not the 10 year old barney looking, petrified crap.... The doors were easy, the quarters were a pain just because of the contorting you have to do... I just gotta hunker down and take my time.... or...

    Nice car

    I may be wrong, but my neighbor sold a car just like this last summer to a guy in No. California.... It could be the same car... It's about what he sold it for...but then again, he says he's the second owner. If this is the car, it would make him the third...

    Offical: 2011 PacNW Centralia Meet & Greet - May 14th! (Saturday)

    Have one of the guys at work with pneumonia... I was hoping he would be well enough to make it back to work so I wouldn't have to be there. He won't... so I get screwed out... I'm sure we'll get another chance as the days get warmer and nicer....

    Please Help I really messed up this time.

    Check the turbo dump line for damage...that could cause the smoke... Maybe wiring to the VSV or Knock sensor plug(s) popped off by the bush ??? Just a quick idea....
