Wednesday, I ran my car hard for the first time since my hg job about 1,000 miles ago on the way home from work. Later on I punched it pulling out of my driveway. My boost gauge shot right past the normal ~6psi and pegged, and the whooshing sound from under the hood made it sound like a major...

I'm pretty interested in trying this after reading supra90turbo's link. The chemicals aren't that hard to get (especially since they aren't meth lab chemicals for once), and I've worked with concentrated sulfuric acid for years so I'm not too afraid to give this a go. A couple of questions...

I've had these really cheesy 'NOS' rubber things from Walmart the last owner threw in and I want them gone. Sign me up for: Year: 1990 Color: Med. Gray (21) Grade: 20 oz (unless 32 is really close in price)

Well that's it for me! I'm going to drive to Ontario and sell my 'okay' condition '90 Turbo that I paid too much for and keep sinking more into. Then I'm going to do it right, drive back to the Midwest, find a mint Supra and pocket a few thou to boot! After digging around, it looks like...

It really isn't an issue of how 'corrosive' toluene and xylene are. In general terms, corrosivity suggests extreme high or low pH's, but since these compounds are pure hydrocarbons - i.e. nothing but carbon and hydrogen, they will not easily loose H+ or OH- ions (those that do are considered...

Thanks Drostar. I will definitely make this an evening project one of these nights, and it would be really good if I didn't need a replacement. I assume you had to pull the steering wheel even though you were able to leave the switch on the column?

I would hate to loose my headlights completely some night, so I figured I'd jump on this highbeam problem now. They work fine when I flash them, but when I push the light switch forward to keep them on I loose my headlights all together. Pull the switch back and I'm back to normal low beams...

Thanks! A little help has gone a long way so far, and it's good to know that somebody with a little know how isn't too far away. I'm hoping a major overhaul isn't anything I need to do anytime soon, but as far as I know the previous owner still has the pre-JDM shortblock and I've been thinking...

BTW, the group was EXCELLENT at answering questions along the way. :thumbup:

ForcedTorque is dead on. I've had my 90 Turbo for 2 months. Four weeks of that, I had it torn apart in my garage to take care of the BHG I didn't recognize when I bought the car. Estimates from area shops were about $2000, versus about $800 myself and that included buying some tools, having a...

Seats look great - especially for $600 complete. I was expecting to spend at least that much with me pulling the seats and bringing them in.

BHG - done. Rear struts & alignment - done. Now for taking care of original '90 leather seats in POOR condition. The seats have obviously never been cared for, with lots of worn panels and ripped seams. I'm starting to look into options and here are a few if anybody can offer advice for or...

You got me beat, but not by much: -Stock tape player - no tape stuck, but I haven't owned a tape since '91 and wouldn't trust it if I did -Both fronts blown -Right rear blown -Too low on my list of Supra projects to worry about for now

Wow, an "old guy" at 35??? I don't feel old!:D

Got mine today - Looks great! Thx

Got it, and now I get it. Other side won't be so bad. It's easy once you push the lower arm down, but Haynes said the stupid thing had to be supported by a jack throughout the job. Impossible that way. Thanks for your help.

Didn't need to take the back seat out, but it was the one screw near the seat catch that I missed holding me back. Now I can't seem to get the f'ing strut assembly back in. I can get two of the three top screws through, but not the outermost one. The bottom of the strut extends too far and...

I am having a hard time getting the cover off the catch. The screw is out, but there's a hook on top of the cover holding it on that I guess will need to be twisted off? I can see the bolts holding the catch on, but nothing else. I'll take a closer look once I get the cover off. I probably...

Changing my rear struts seems to be a PITA for the stupidest reason: I can't get the damn rear quarter trim off! I have removed every screw I can find, and am stuck up front, where the quarter trim seats under the trim alongside the back seat (the bracket that catches the backseat fold down...

Damn. I thought the polling option allowed up to 10 questions, but actually allows 10 options for a single question. I guess the forum is set up for this kind of thing, unless somebody knows how to set up multiple questions in a single thread.
