    New Challanger, New Camaro, or Some What New Mustang? No 56k.

    Definetely the Camaro. The challenger is just not quite as good looking and the mustang is cool, but older and too common.

    3 new pics of the hood vent

    The middle one looks really nice! These cars do seem to build up a lot of heat under the hood. I've been considering putting some vents or heat extractors on each side at the top of the hood since every time I open the hood after driving there's a huge heat wave.

    Uh oh.... high idle. 3k RPM high!

    Wow a jumping timing belt? I went and checked the TPS and ISC, both are good and the ISC is clean. I'm going to go look and see if my belt is still in the right place. Good thing I didn't put the cam cover on yet!

    Uh oh.... high idle. 3k RPM high!

    I am going to go check the TPS, CPS, and AFM again. Would a throttle somehow get stuck open only when the engine is running? It works fine when the engine is off but I never thought to check its position while the engine was running. As for hoses to the ISC, all I can find are two coolant...

    Uh oh.... high idle. 3k RPM high!

    Alright, I am all out of ideas so I'm turning to Supramania for help. Yesterday I took the Supra out for a short drive and for the first time, I went WOT. It was at WOT for maybe 3-4 seconds in 3rd gear, and when I let off the gas the RPMs didn't drop as fast as they usually do and they stayed...

    Cressida sandwich on Supra bread.

    Wow I was prepared for something like three crushed cars at a junkyard or something but thankfully your picture is a bit less saddening than I expected.

    stripped interior

    It really is, but I kind of want some sort of a flat section covering the spare tire well and everything. Has anyone ever made a new plywood thing that sits lower in the hatch? I've been thinking of doing one out of a sheet of plastic and carpeting it just so it looks better back there and I...

    just saying hello

    WOW! That is probably the best MKII I've ever seen in my life right there. Looks like you put a lot of work into that...

    Passenger lock failing

    I have this exact problem, but I think it was caused by someone trying to force their way into the car when the previous owner had it because they basically punched the passenger side door handle in and in the process they bent the rods that connect the door handle and probably somehow affected...

    stripped interior

    I should have also mentioned I had nothing in the engine bay and no trans/driveshaft either. Still, with absolutely everything in the interior gone it has to be at least ~150ish lbs lighter.... it was a ton of stuff! Especially the front seats and surprisingly, the carpet.

    Whats your Supra story??

    I guess my real search for a MKIII started a few months after I got my license. Originally I just was looking for some beater to buy because I only had about $3000 and my family isn't that well-off so I had to find something affordable. After thinking about it some I realized I wouldn't really...

    stripped interior

    I remember when my interior was stripped (and I mean STRIPPED, like there weren't any panels, carpet, seats, dashboard, or anything, just a steering wheel, pedals, and the door handles) my car sat a full 2 inches higher than it normally did. I never drove it like that obviously but it had to...

    Finally got my car running!!

    Nice! Feels good doesn't it? The dark interior shot looks amazing and the dash is a unique color... is it really white or is it just the flash?

    Noobie to SM but not Supras

    Very nice, I'm a big fan of wingless MKIVs too. Those are some wide tires you have there!

    My formal intro

    Wow another MKIII and a MKIV in NC? That's pretty rare around Charlotte. No clue where Conover is but there are only about 5 N/A beat up MKIIIs around here and one in a neighbor's yard. It's been covered with a car cover all its life but I know it's a MKIII =) Oh and a MKIV owned by some dude...

    Hi all

    Hello! I just now noticed that euro Supras have bigger front license plate thingys. Makes sense, but I never really thought about it before. What parts do you need? I have a few lying around and wouldn't mind shipping to the U.K. too much.
