    Engine Block: Worth Keeping?

    So I have a bare engine block from my car that has a crack in an odd place on it. It is completely machined, decked, etc, is it worth selling or is it scrap metal? And here's what the block SHOULD look like:

    Cracks in the turbo...too much?

    Heya everyone - I just recently had my CT-26 re-rebuilt, along with the head, and engine, and I've still got an oil burn. I pulled off my turbo to take pictures of the oil building up on the exhaust wheel, and I noticed a few cracks in the turbo exhaust housing. I've never seen any sort of...

    Somebody in/near MN...spare turbo?

    Heya everyone...I'm wondering if anyone around Minnesota has a turbo that they know is good that I would be able to buy/borrow. My car is burning oil and I want to confirm if indeed it is my turbo at fault or not. Thanks!

    MN Supras: August Meet?

    funky_monkey and I have been kicking around the idea of a Supra meet this August and I decided we need to start throwing around some dates and plans to get the ball rolling. We know quite a few Supra people in the St. Cloud area so that'll likely be the location. Anybody here interested in the...

    I need advice from Supra owners....

    Okay everyone, I'm looking for opinions from people who care about cars, namely Supras... I'm currently studying abroad in Germany, and while I'm here, my parents are moving to California, so I'm going to be coming back to Minnesota and living on my own. They are also (so very kindly) leaving...

    Oil Burn - What could possibly be the problem?

    Okay, so I'm just about ready to throw in the towel. My car is burning oil at somewhat random intervals, more at idle and decel than other times, but I can't be totally sure. Here's the kicker - the engine was rebuilt no more than 2,000 miles ago, and a brand-spanking-rebuilt CT-26 (this is the...

    Sad episode of Fifth Gear

    Okay guys, I was looking through my huge collection of Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes, and found this episode, where they use a MKIII as an example for Movie car stunts. It's pretty sad to watch, really should be NWS. My AVI splitter software was crap, so I just uploaded the whole episode...

    Learning to Drive, Reccomendations?

    Hello everyone, My Supra is finally ready to drive reliably, after tons of maintenance, rebuilt engine, turbo, radiator, etc. etc, and I'm interesting in getting involved in some casual racing, be it Auto-X or Drag, anything really. My problem though is I'm having the toughest time finding...

    Removing CT-26 without draining coolant?

    Is it possible? The TSRM says you have to, but is there a way to just "block off" the coolant passages to the turbo instead of having to drain the whole radiator before removing the coolant lines?

    Searching for high resolution supra images!

    Hello everyone, I want to make my own MKIII wall poster (since I can't find them anywhere) so I'm looking for some HUGE resolution images of MKIII Supras. Maybe there are some original images from the calendar to help? Thanks all!

    My turbo is crapping out on me, what do you reccomend?

    Hello all, I don't post often but I have something of a dilemma right now. I just got my entire engine rebuilt and working perfectly, and just two weeks after the rebuild was done, my turbo has started smoking on me. This is especially frustrating because I had my turbo rebuilt about a year ago...

    Picture of 89+ Mid-area speakers?

    Hello everyone, I have a 1990 Supra and I've been looking into upgrading my sound system. I know right now that I have 4" in the front and the 5"-ish in the back, but I keep reading about 3.5" "mid" speakers. Does anyone have pictures of the speakers while installed in the car? I don't know how...

    Help picking out a clutch. (I searched, please don't hurt me)

    Okay everybody, I'm rebuilding my 7M-GTE and I will need a new clutch while its out. For now, my power plans are going to be BPU, and up no more than 400hp in the future. I want something full-faced so it isn't a bitch to drive (stop-go traffic, parking ramps, dates, etc.), but also strong...

    Installing AEM Boost Gauge, a little help?

    Hi everyone, I just got an AEM Tru-Boost boost gauge/controller, and this is going to be the first time I've installed an aftermarket gauge in my car. I had a few questions just to make sure I'm not screwing it up. I noticed the gauge has two red wires, both switched, fused, +12VDC. Is it okay...

    Emilio's Rebuild & Improvement Build Thread

    Alrighty, I felt it was time to open up my own build thread, documenting the progress I'm doing on my Supra. My car is a 1990, originally N/A Auto, converted to 7M-GTE, 5-speed by the previous owner. Over winter I discovered it had a non-sealing piston ring, that was leading to a huge oil burn...

    What are these wire connections for? (Pic inside)

    I was taking apart my stereo & dash the other day, and I noticed a set of electrical connectors that didn't have anywhere to plug into in the middle of my dash near the shifter. I'll attach a picture of them, does anyone know what they're for? (The three connections closest to the shifter)...

    Hey everyone, I'm putting one of my gauge clusters back together to sell, but I can't remember where the TEMS connectors go on the back of the gauge cluster. I'll attach a picture in this post to show my dilemma. I just need to know where each of these 4 connectors goes. Thanks!
