Edited to remove this.. lol.. I was assuming you had a turbo.. reread your original post.. shutting up now.. lol. Just a question, are you shooting for a turbo? or keeping the car NA (naturally aspirated)? The NA engine (7MGE) has its limits naturally... just thought I would point out that you...

Are you talking about the cooling/oil hoses (external) or just the vacuum hoses? If vacuum hoses, there are kits but after buying one I would avoid it. Just go to your auto store with (I believe there are only 3 sizes) hose dimensions and lengths figured out and buy your own. You will save...

Also, just to move you ahead a little (dont want to scare you with doom and gloom on the quarter panels), you should note that hand shaping the edge of the wheel well area on the quarter is difficult. (probably the hardest part) So if you want to have it done properly, and are only "mediocre" at...

Check your wheel wells too. Mine were perforated allowing water/dust into the quarter panel area (you can access it from the door in the hatch area). Once dirt/water starts sitting in there.. it can get pretty bad quickly. In general, (for Canada anyway) I use the $ point of about 2500.00 per...

Yeah I was figuring to do the bushings and adding anti-sways when I do the suspension (and pillow mounts.. which I have already.. although I am not sure if they will fit whatever coilover I choose. The 87 I had was using Megan coilovers and they made the ride very stiff (regardless of...

Nice start though. I like the blue. That car looks really agressive with tint imo. Mine sat for about 3-4 years in a garage when I got it.. just finally got most of the drivetrain/hose issues cleaned up. Now Im ready to make it purdy and fast.

I have seen an accident up close.. I dont know if they were paying more attention to the Supra. The mind is repulsed by the carnage.. when you approach something like that and start seeing people not moving, your first instinct is to move away. You want to help but have no idea what to do, so...

umm.. just a note.. if you have your Supra properly insured but have sunk money into it, if its worth more than 2500.00 I would get it appraised and make sure my Supra was covered for that amount plus 1500.00 in parts on top. Simply because people tend to look at Supras and if you know about...

Nothing like a challenge... lol. Didn't realise what a smokin' deal I got on my 90 (paid 800.00 for it) until I saw this : ) is that 2 different cars? (noticed one was automagic and the other one stick) oh wait.. just read the little bylines.. my bad : )

I just sold my 87 and it had the Megan's on it and I found them a bit too stiff. Great for handling, but overall I felt that if I was in the car for over an hour I would get a bit of a cramp in my lower back. So, I am looking at the Stance GR plus Coilovers (driftmotion). Just wondering if...

Dont blame the Supra on that one. Cars can fail when pushed, whoever was running that race should be the one held at fault. Reminds me of rally races where you have cars flying around curves on dirt paths with people standing on the curves to watch. Could never figure out if they were brave or...

The headlight motor seems to function, although.. not fully.I havent really looked at the TSRM for setup on it, because it will lower/raise if I turn the screw (adjustment) on the side with no problem, but I am wondering if maybe someone pushed down on it, because if I turn off the headlights...

1988 MKIII 7MGTE - Previous owner drove the crap out of it... replaced it with a JDM. Then proceeded to run that one without oil... replace it with the original motor after a rebuild (all this cost him over 7500.00) and the turbo also was rebuilt. I bought it.. engine has 17,000 km on it with...

I have only seen a slight creep upward in 3 years on MKIII pricing. Problem? Rust and Maintenance imo. Quarter Panels are just landmines on these cars... engines? People like revving, but most dont like looking under the hood. I have not seen more than 2 cars on my MKIII hunt that would get a...

http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/sp1_17181920.asp I thought these were pretty sharp looking... Think they are pretty costly though.

The battery light I believe is attributed to a stacked wire connection on the top of the alternator. It cannot be tightened enough without risking ripping off the screw, so I will have to vamp one wire into the other. I took the door switch wires off and the light went off (the driver side door...

I boosted it, took it out for a run (its an exercise machine driving it... without the PS pump attached... ) Damn this car is fun though.. lol The battery light is off now, but the door lights are still on. the car charged itself while driving for 1.5 hours so I believe the charging circuit...

I agree as well. With the paint done "imperfectly", your not going to find someone who wants to spend over 6k on it when their dreams are to have a "perfect" paint job (most buyers are unrealistic). Nice build but the engine bay scares me because I would have no idea how to judge what was right...

Dont think there is a tire available to the general public that could hand 260 mph...

Boost controller + BOV + exhaust (fuel system after you experience it.. lol) The air filter just has to be good enough to allow the air to pass through really.. unless you are very picky. But once you find out how to set up a MKIII to 10-12 psi (depending on elevation... you would know by...
