That is awesome, sort of. I was hoping for about 10K or less when the time comes! That shop is not near Ohio is it ;)

They say always leave them wanting more, so this will be a slow build thread ;) The Supra has run well since 2013 despite my rushing into things, largely thanks to many posts on this forum. However, something has felt off for a while and it looks like my luck has finally run out: Machine...

This picture is really neat because it made me wonder if it was an early gen Celica or older American muscle. I had no idea it was the Supra with everything off and at that angle! Love that you never gave up on the car! How bad was the paint bill? I want to have paint done next year and I am...

In the end Bitcoin was quite the surprise. Wish I had gotten some when it was $5. But I probably would have sold too soon.

Big thanks to Jeff, the return helped me solve an issue I should have solved on my own. Also, congratulations on the degree and success! I know I come and go a lot, but it would be great to see more visitors.

Started removing stuff to get to the head. I couldn't believe how fried the O2 sensor gasket was!

I have read here in various posts that Toyota factory red is required for MK3s to keep the water pump happy. Is that not true? Is there a better option?

This is a pretty old thread, but I had my LET-T16 ceramic coated and it has held up well in the winters now that I am back in Ohio where it gets cold. I don't drive in the snow that much though.

Did another block test this morning with no exhaust gases detected... Still losing a few ounces of coolant every drive, and I have a bottle confirming it is not coming from the overflow. Going to do a compression test next weekend and finally do this...

Wow, your engine looks great in that pic! I was at that point in 2013, but things are less clean now and I am sad to see exhaust components rusting again despite ceramic coating. The valve is definitely working, since I do get heat. If the replacement doesn't fix things then it will be head...

Nice catch on the wires, thanks for noting that. How I long for a new harness... I am not sure if the fan clutch was dead or not, it is likely original. It had okay grab when cold and was surprisingly free when hot. Car seems to stay in the lower cool position more often with the new one...

Changed out the fluid coupling (fan clutch) with a new Aisin one from Rock Auto because cooling has been weird lately. No cream, but I lost enough coolant to see the temp gauge actually move. No drips either, so I tried the fan clutch after giving the old a spin test. Things continue to be...

Love that part and tried to find one to buy a few years back. I have a BIC DDPR, but I would prefer the LIPP along with a DP that doesn't hang so low.

So cool that Supramania is back! Sadly the only thing I have done today is put the ugly new Ohio plate on my car. I moved back a year too late : ( And read through about 10 "cranks but doesn't start" threads since the car has decided to stop working. Must be mad it is not in a garage anymore...

I swear the tractor was working fine based on that video!

Agreed! Wonky peak hold "feature" be damned!

Left hand drive, though I should have specified that the pivot of the gauge needle would be fixed at 9 o'clock. Thanks for calling that out! I am seeing the opposite of what you mentioned, which would be the expected behavior to me. (Basically, drive car until gauge is at the usual peak...

Oh man, Pryo, that sucks. Both arms? Glad you are recovering! I have heard Bird is always down for a tractor pull style Supra outing!

I have a question about the stock water temperature gauge in 89+ Supras. I have read in many threads that the needle is meant to sit near the middle of the gauge for a wide temp range. Mine tends to sit at about where an hour hand would be on a clock for 3:20 to 3:40, but I have noticed that...

I totally missed your response Joe, no worries on pricing, I was just happy to not have to wait extra months. Getting the shocks on was a hassle due to bump stops and no note in the TSRM about that spacer on the lower rear mounts, but I have been happy with them since the install. The...
