    What are you guys missing in parts/service/manufacturing support for the MK3 Chassis?

    Those plastic 7M wiring harness holders that go just behind the timing cover. It seems like 99% of cars have them missing. Also, the long and thin A/C line that goes from the firewall to the condenser. All used and really tough to find a decent one.

    What is the most rare mk3 supra part do you own

    Doesn't leak, works great. I think the seductive power of cheap eBay parts overpowers most people. :)

    '87 Turbo overheating

    Not sure how much proof you're looking for, I don't have a bunch of laboratory tests proving things out, but I know at least four different people locally have had overheating issues, all with electric fans. As soon as they switched back to (properly functioning) fan clutches, their problems...

    i need a pressure plate

    What clutch you use is independent of what engine you have. You'll want to use an R154 clutch regardless of if you have a 7M or JZ.

    Head Gasket?

    You have a Supra, get used to nothing being in stock :D Your local Toyota dealership will be able to get a full gasket kit no problem, you just have to wait a few days to get any parts.

    Head Gasket?

    Yes, you probably don't *need* to machine the head if you're using an OEM headgasket, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

    Head Gasket?

    If you're not machining both the block and head, use an OEM Toyota Headgasket, and torque it to 75 ft-lbs using ARP Head Studs/Nuts or ARP Head Bolts

    Engine swap?

    Oh I fully agree, and that's why I love my MKIII. It's also the reason that I don't "worry" about weight when it comes to my Supra. If I did, I would have a different car.

    Tanabe Medallion Owners, some advice please

    I know Random Technology makes and sells bolt-on 3" cats, but they're big $$$. Otherwise, custom from an exhaust shop may be your best bet. Random Technology: http://www.randomtechnology.com/toyota.html

    Engine swap?

    If you're really truly concerned about weight, an RX-7 shell is probably a better place to start. MKIII Supras are pigfat, and always will be. :)

    Riced supra help

    No. A metal headgasket is superior to the OEM headgasket. However, in order for a metal headgasket to seal and work properly, you must machine both the head and block, which requires complete disassembly of the engine. You can use an OEM headgasket with ARPs to give good reliability (much...

    morganson's COP S-Type setup

    I love this setup. Looks even more slick than the IS300 coils. Get the wiring harness, coils, and bracket together and sell them together as one complete set. I'm sure people would buy them!

    Riced supra help

    The simplest way to do it "right" with as little fuss as possible is relatively easy: 1. Replace the headgasket with an OEM Toyota gasket. 2. Use ARP Head Bolts or Studs/Nuts 3. Torque to 75 ft-lbs 4. Flush the cooling and oil systems thoroughly after completing the job. You want to clean out...

    Best three things you can do to the car. 1. Catch up 100% on all maintenance items. 2. Put a quality 3" Turbo-back exhaust on. 3. Clean it thoroughly.
