    No Spark after letting the car sit. 2JZ-gte

    I know this is going to sound redundant, but most electrical issues I've found on my cars were either because of grounds (most common), or sensors. Occasionally, the wiring plays into that too. ;) Check your harness to make sure it is going to the battery and is properly grounded. If your...

    Rally equipment sold for supra?

    Tires shouldn't be a problem, I would check with Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack and let them know what you have in mind. If they're of no help, I'm sure you'll find a Rally forum that will have a LOT to say on the subject. Oddly enough, I've been told snow tires do quite well on dirt... As...

    dash light. what does it mean?

    Sure thing Dan, anytime. I have the same tires, but in a 275 all around, they do grip quite nicely, especially for the price. I sincerely wonder if Michelin PS2's grip any better, considering they are 2-3x as much as the Nittos... As for the light going off so frequently, I find that mine...

    collision question.......

    I'm guessing this is a Canadian company of some sort? I thought everything was just peachy up there though... at least that's what people on this side of the border seem to think anyway... They've socialized auto insurance as well as health insurance too? Correct me if I'm misreading this, but...

    1992 Supra, how much?

    I usually say $1000 for a decent shell, $1500 for a good condition shell, and $2000 for a rare shell such as this one. Usually high mileage is an indication (to me at least) that you have a well cared for and good running car. Poorly maintained cars don't often make it to 266,000 miles you...

    Which mk3's have brake ducting for cooling?

    Correct. Should still be able to get the lip without too much trouble, but the ducts that were made for it can be another story... the way people treat the under-trays being any indication, I'm sure most of them have been tossed out by now. However, could always make your own. If you don't need...

    Need help with a 2jz swap in the portland, oregon area***

    My buddy Rich could certainly do your swap for you (he did mine, haven't had any issues that weren't 100% my own fault), but you would have to find some way of getting the car over to Green River, WY... He knows his Supras, that's for sure. ;)

    so a year ago I bought a '12 Maxima with the intention of

    Good choice. Probably easier to get rid of herpes than a Supra you love... Oddly enough, I recently picked up an LS400, and it has made a suitable daily driver, gets better mileage than the Supra ever seems to. Then again, I'm rarely ever tempted to put my foot too far down on the LS... That...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Nice looking car you have there man, I'm surprised you don't have a build thread posted (if you do, post a link...). Really clean, and a nice restoration it looks like. For those who want to see the bumper fill end result:

    You know, for $60,000, I would expect them to know that they have a car with an Abflug kit, not a Veilside...

    door lock linkage jammed

    Are you trying to say it won't unlock, or it cannot be opened? Hopefully by this point you have tried to get in the car from one of the other two doors at your disposal, correct? Once you get the door open (really shouldn't be that hard unless you have something majorly wrong inside the door)...

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    If you ever find yourself in need of a 5 seat large car, I can fully recommend one. Can't say I've ever worked on a car or owned one that was quite this well built/nice.

    Ironically, I was in history class that day, studying our involvement in the Afghan war with the Russians: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan Also ironic was that a friend of mine decided to wear his "I ♥ NY" shirt that day. He showed up to school about an hour before...

    New Daily! MKIII Golf

    Looks like you bought it at Cyberdyne... sheesh, do people up there drive anything other than trucks? :p Seriously though, while it is awesome to have a fun daily, once you start modding it, things tend to start finding a need to be replaced. Doing so really puts the Supra on hold... ask me how...

    dash light. what does it mean?

    Dan, that just means you're doing it right (assuming your bottle is in the proper position on its bracket and not tilted), and should carry on as usual. :) Hell, get a sticky enough set of tires on a stiff suspension on a smooth road, I'm not even sure if being at the "full" line would be...

    Rally equipment sold for supra?

    What sort of rally equipment are you looking for? Rally computers/timers and the like, helmet and communication equipment? Or are you looking more for things like wheels/tires and suspension? Should give TTE a call. ;)

    92' Turbo Supra Suggestions

    It is certainly that 7m torque... definitely a good feeling. I've always considered Supras to be "catch up" cars, much like muscle cars. You can only throw such a heavy car into a corner so fast, but you can easily use the power to make up for slower corner speeds on the exit. Now, cars like...

    Twin turbo manifold for 7mgte

    Only reason I'm inclined to agree, that would lead to some really weird division of exhaust pulses wouldn't it? I mean, it is almost as odd (to me at least) as a v8 running a 6 barrel carb. Why wouldn't you just go for one barrel per cylinder? Or in this case, divide the turbos by an equal...
