    I'm sure that dog belonged to some poor children who were outside crying their brains out over their almost burning to death pooch

    Another noob with a question

    First off, let me commend you on your love for the Supra, and welcome to the forum. And here I respectfully offer my opinion: These three Supras are going to need lots of work, time and cash, even if you can do all the labor yourself. If i was you, i'd strip them all and sell the parts. As you...

    Here Goes Nothing... Hi!

    With enough torque and enough use, a clutch can start slipping at 70K Km. When i was reading your first post i thought your pickle was how to change the clutch. Then i read the seller will replace the clutch. I would only ask who is going to replace and using what parts, if there is a warranty...

    Supra was hit. Need some help.

    Yeah, it's done like that all the time.

    Always freakin tired...need advice

    Get off the net and go see a doctor asap. Request full blood work, including liver and thyroid function be performed. I'd tell you I suspect some form of diabetes, but I'm not a doctor. That's why you need to go see one. And don't start running without your doctor's approval. If you have a...

    Where/How did you get YOUR MK3(s)?

    Back in 1996, my wife said a co-worker of hers had this Toyota for sale. I asked her to get more info as to what kind, condition, stick or auto, etc. She asked, and later told me it was an 87 Supra, and that the lady reported it was "very fast". I wasn't too sure even what they looked like, but...

    Found a supra, need help!

    In most cases, $500 for a complete turbo car is a very good deal. Even if the body is junk, the drivetrain is worth that much, and i'm sure it's got other parts worth something. Chances are good the block and head need machining, and there will be hoses and other crap to replace, but who knows...

    Mk3 vs Integra Type R.

    Intake, exhaust, boost controller. By far the best bang for the buck supra setup. Based on my dyno experience, the 3 inch exhaust alone is good for about 40 whp.

    Mk3 vs Integra Type R.

    Good kill, but no huge deal. I easily beat an Integra GSR a few years ago, with my i/e/bc 90 Turbo. Twice. It was no sweat. Hondas get a bad rap mainly because of the retards who get a Civic and rice it out. The car is cheap, easy to find and easy to work on, so they ruin it. A Honda purist...

    1987 CRX with a bad cat... any thoughts?

    For $200 this crx is a great deal. So what if it's slow. You don't always have to be going fast to have fun. If you have the time, space and a little money to tinker with the car, get it and have fun finding and fixing the problem. I'm pretty sure you can get your money out of it when/if you get...

    WHAT SHOULD I DO!? ZOMG

    I didn't mean a dd for reliability. I meant to say that a nice Supra will get lots of attention from thieves, and then we read the sad stories of break ins, stolen stuff and stolen cars. A dd is a must, imo, if you have a nice Supra.

    WHAT SHOULD I DO!? ZOMG

    I have a different take on this issue. I vote for you getting a reliable daily driver. Then you can safely put cash in the Supra, aesthetics first. You can always add more power later and have a kick ass car. Idk about the aftermarket wing, but to each his own.

    Damaged Cams on 7m-gte?

    Thank you all. The machinist and I checked the inside of the cylinder caps, and they're all smooth as can be. Only the cam journals got this slight scoring. The problem is, the machinist says he wants new cams, or he won't guarantee his work on the head. I'm thinking i should polish and mic the...

    Damaged Cams on 7m-gte?

    Hey everybody. Thanks for all the input. My camera had gone missing for a couple weeks, but I finally have pics here. I did notice that the very light scoring is limited to journals 1 and 2 on both cams. I'm sure the head had some warping, as the stock headbolts (which previous owner had...

    G-TECH/Pro Performance Meter, Really works?

    I'm planning on getting one, and then comparing the reading with the local track's, and see what happens.
