Do you know what the difference is between a Nike Golf ball and an Escalade? At least Tiger can drive a golf ball 300 yards... You know, Tiger's really been off his game lately... Everytime he goes out to practice for the tour, his wife keeps shouting "wrong hole". Heard about the new...

The TEMS Bible: by Drake69 The TEMS system (short for Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension) is an advanced suspension system found on many of the 3rd generation MKIII Supras and the Soarers of that era as well as newer Toyota vehicles like the Sequoia and Land Cruiser, and was and still...

This would be tragic if it weren't so funny....

I did the plugs/wires on the '88 Turbo and am getting a code now on the Check Engine light. I plan on buying an ODB code reader anyway for my vehicles, but I don't remember seeing the computer jack for my car yet. Is it under the hood or under the dash like the newer vehicles? I suspect it's...

I just spent close to 2 hours with the glove box, bottom foot panel, and passenger-side kick panel pulled out looking for the harness to tap into for the HKS TEMS system and I can't find it anywhere. I've already measured the distance to the TEMS computer in the back and know by now that I don't...

I replaced my air filter with a K&N FIPK, and when I had the old assembly out I noticed a lone wire with a white plug sitting at the bottom near the curvature of the wheelwell with nothing plugged into it. I checked a friend's Supra, and he has it plugged in and running in through the wheelwell...

Just kinda curious what everybody was doing when their model year Supra hit the road with less than 10mi. (km?) on the odometer. In 1988, I was in my first year of college at VCU pirating Commodore 64/128 games, panicking about my Differential Math class <ugh!!> , programming in Pascal on the...

Well, I did some in-depth reading here on SM and pulled the trigger on a few things. I decided to buy some NGK plugs, NGK wires, and a K&N FIPK, and will do my work tomorrow when the sun is shining (no garage to work with, FTL!). Since I'll be doing the plugs, I also bought a compression test...

Is there a list of abbreviations and meanings for technical jargon on here for Supras? Maybe as a sticky? I feel that it would help us "less knowledgable" people (READ: N00Bs) if there was a sticky in the tech section devoted to the many parts abbreviations and what they mean, even stuff that...

I've seen the TEMS on my struts in the engine bay and compared them to the TEMS system on newer vehicles and there's definitely a size difference. My questions are: 1: Are they the same electronically? (faster response maybe?) 2: What are the differences, if any, apart from size? 3: Is...

Okay. I have a better idea of what I need to do to get this 7M-GTE up to par as a daily driver. I've had a few issues with the fluids, namely radiator and oil leaking, and I took it over to a stealership to take a look. I found a guy knowledgable with Supras and MR2s, and from spending a few...

This has started to light up whenever I tap the brakes after starting the car and never goes off until I turn the car off. I removed the rear panels and checked all the bulbs for scoring or carbon, all bulbs are intact. I also checked for loose wiring to each bulb and found one that looked like...

Well, I took my car over to a friend's house to show him what I had, and as he was nosing around the front underneath of the car it started slow leaking oil (didn't see it when it was level earlier...:3d_frown:). So, replacing the oil gasket in the front is in short order (where the leak was...

An awesome deck, makes the Alpine I had in mine look and sound like mega-crap. Also does wonders with the Polk speakers and soon-to-be-added kicker box and woofers (Sony Xplode'r for now until I save up for Fosgate!!!) listening to Muse, Metallica, AC/DC, Marilyn Manson, KISS, Chemical Brothers...

Okay. I've done enough searches on several boards and I can't seem to get any lockdown on this dilema. I am running a 7M-GTE factory '88 Supra, and I've heard from everywhere the dangers of BHG. Usually it's only a matter of inevitability that I'll have mine go, most likely sooner than later, so...

I just recently bought a nice Supra MkIII from a local guy here in Richmond and am signing on to different boards to learn more about my purchase. First off, she's an '88 Supra Turbo with: 1: intercooled turbo-charged 7M-GTE 2: TEMS 3: ECT 4: automatic 5: overdrive 6: cloth interior 7...
