    Got my new motor put in. performance thus far..

    A supra can go as fast as you want it to if you have a big enough wallet and big enough balls, after all thats what jet turbines are made for, just strap a few of them on there and the sky is the limit, literally.:biglaugh:

    Racing Seats

    When picking seats you really want to sit in them to make sure they fit you, a bad fitting seat is worthless if you move around, or if they restrict movement too much.

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    When you go into the parts store and they already have your car and your info pulled up in the history. When its cheaper to get a parts car instead of all the parts you need separately. When people ask how your supra is coming along and you have to ask "Which one?" When looking to buy a house...

    Pre89 Door Moldings...

    Shaving the molding will take a lot of time and will probably cost as much if not more than just replacing the trim.

    Well this is kind of nice since I have already been working on a model of a custom lip and air dam insert. Guess I will have to finish it and get it submitted. Where should the renders be submitted.

    sticking brakes

    Turbo or non turbo doesn't matter, under load vacuum decreases so the booster will not work as well. Its most likely gonna be the master cyl not releasing if they are just sticking after letting off the brake. This can be tested by loosening the bleeder valves to release the pressure on the...

    Odd electrical problems

    Easy at home test would be check voltage with car running with no loads on, then turn on high beams, brake lights, and blower on high, and check the voltage. If you drop more than say .5v you have a problem. Now .5v drop is on the low end of the spectrum for a problem. Also check the ac...

    ct-26 making "rattling" noise after freeway driving

    I think people are getting confused, the o ring is between the compressor outer housing and compressor inner housing. It goes under the c clip that holds the compressor housing cover on (the aluminum part you see), but you cannot see the o-ring unless you take the compressor side apart...

    My car don't start.... 7mgte 1988 I really need help

    I did not say check the entire harness check you main ground points I mentioned before. Also just so you know 89+ dont use the hac sensor its built into the computer. The other thing is the cps it gives your spark and pulse reference signals try wiggling the wires and see what happens.

    muted boom now not start

    If you had a boom and no spark now but it cranks over, take the upper timing cover off and make sure you didn't snap the t-belt. Usually if this is the case you will get abnormally fast cranking speed.

    USDM 7MGTE vs JDM 7MGTE

    There are a few threads around with different stuff, but I just did a swap and what I have noticed is, 1. The throttle cable is different, needing modification to the holding bracket. 2. Throttle body is different, only has one vacuum line on top, and different clocked tps 3. Metal coolant hose...

    sticking brakes

    The one way valve is only there to keep vacuum on the booster when there is low engine vacuum. Sounds like a back flow problem in the master. A bad booster will just give you a hard pedal. Also the check valve should have no vacuum on the engine side but keep vacuum on the booster side when...

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    Well my led lights were stolen by my wife for now, I installed them on her car last night. She will use them until I get a set done for her, but the reason she doesn't want these is is because she wants them to be sequential for the illumination of the turn signal. I will get some pics of her...

    Fuel Pulsation Damper & Turbo Oil Feed Question

    FWI if your u-joint socket is not stiff enough as is the case with most of the square joint ones wrap the joint with electrical tape, this will give it some stiffness and still allow it to be flexible. Or for $30 you can get a good ball socket swivel that will be well worth the money as it will...

    having problems with my 87 mkIII

    Over heating can be cause by a lot more than just a head gasket. Fill the coolant and the reservoir, easiest way to make sure it is full and does not have air bubbles is to pick up a $20 filling funnel (a special funnel that attaches to the radiator) run the car with this on until the...
