    Exhaust help/opinions

    lol.. I just hate that sound though.. maybe its the association of the ricer with the sound. Currently, the Supra is not what I would call quiet, but its like a whispy sound, rather than a rumble. I remember a 5M-GE that I drove that had a nice quiet purr, and then when you stepped on it, you...

    Exhaust help/opinions

    Okay, I've finally got the go ahead (financially) from the wife (who now likes my Supra... cause I fixed her van.. lol). I need to get an exhaust for my car. I am running full stock atm... but do plan on upgrading in the future. I think the only turbo upgrade I will go with will probably be...

    quarter panels

    Yep.. unfortunately.. my hunt so far has come up with the answer that.. you need to find the quarter panels off of a junker.. no OEM anywhere.

    gas door poll

    idk.. depends on what you want for a final car. Fussy? its a do-over... Not fussy? then number 4 and live with it. Bottom line is.. you dont see that portion of the car much, its a "slight" distraction... thats all. Hell.. all the eye candy is nice for pictures and our egos.. but in reality.. we...

    Another supra dies....mines....90 1J hardtop

    Just did the same (read). Someone stole your '87? Maybe we need to get some beer and do a hunt? Nobody should ever touch a Supra. Some D***head just whacked my pass side with their door yesterday. Man.. they are lucky I didn't see it happen. Got a sweet little dent right below the pass side...

    MKIII - Bodywork Question...

    Well.. the other option is to merge two Supras. I can hunt down a "dead" Supra out here that has the back half good (mainly). Probably get one for under 800.00 (which is less than what it would cost me to dilly dally with OEM parts). Just Frankenstein the 2.. and that way I could take my time a...

    MKIII - Bodywork Question...

    Well.. I got my response.. none in stock, none in the world.. phone jupiter... sigh. Well.. now I have to really put my thinking cap on... Do I just have them rebuilt using sheet metal and a good bodyman? hmm... maybe there is a body kit for the rear? lol.. everytime I have a problem with...

    I was just given a Supra...now what? Now with pics!

    Its all a question of time, $$$, and love.. lol. I wonder how many 88 Supra's are alive in the world today. Maybe the MKIII's will someday actually get valued? I had to fight to get mine recognized as a collectible antique.. I did finally get it though via appriasal and some smooth talking to...

    Lower Control Arm Removal

    yeah.. that includes the wheel alignment at the end too... after reading the issues and peeking at what it would involve (looking at the actualy parts rather than just reading), I have figured out that I can make far more money working rather than sitting under the car hoping I get it right...

    MKIII - Bodywork Question...

    Thanks for that : ) Actually.. I am forgoing a complete paint job until after I get all the body parts rust free. (figuring maybe next year or the year after, get a complete one done.. by then I should have the money together, plus the motor pulled as I would like to clean the engine bay up as...

    I am looking for the driver side quarter panel and wheel wells, if you will consider cutting...

    I am looking for the driver side quarter panel and wheel wells, if you will consider cutting them out. Also, is that driver side fender rust free? If so, I would want that as well. (Assuming your parting out the body) Also looking for the battery tie down (everything), your oil dipstick, the...

    I was just given a Supra...now what? Now with pics!

    I say part it out.. I could use that driver side quarter panel ; ) Use the funds to help your other project car. I'm looking for a second one mind you.. for the winter. (Keep a good one for summer, a not as good one for winter.. either way I dont drive much anymore)

    MKIII - Bodywork Question...

    Well.. I didn't actually order it, but this link states they have it (up to the point of ordering.. so perhaps they dont?) Supra Quarter Panel - Outside Skin note that they refer to pre-90 Supra's as Celica-Supra for some reason, and I am not sure if this is a OEM replacement or not.. I am...

    Lower Control Arm Removal

    The local Toyota dealer is gonna do mine for 445.00 (includes parts). I was gonna save the coin.. but I guessed I was better off just letting someone who knows the front end better do it (the possibility of a mistake by me... Joe-homewrench.. is higher). Dont want my wheels flying off at 120...
