    The First Car

    Does anyone but me get a cold shiver down there spine when they read this? No potential for trouble here...no waaaaay! If would have had a Supra turbo at 16 I can just about guarantee you I'd never have made it to 17!

    Power Steering pump removal ( making space?)

    Actually you will have ONE MORE thing to worry about...killing some poor inocent slob like me that happens to get in your way while your tooling around in your 3500lb car with no p/s. If you think this will only increase your steering effort (not effert) "a little" at slow speeds and at...

    CUSTOM ROUND "TRUCKER TAILIGHTS" GOOD OR GOOFY?

    If I didn't know better I'd think you guys were picking on me, Naaaaaaaaaah.... I think the Supra is a natural for round tails, I'm thinking of a newer Corvette. If I did it (I'm undecided) I would build a flat cover to fit over where the original Supra light lenses mounted creating a...

    Mounting Walbro FP Externally?

    :3d_frown: Why is that a problem? It sounds easy enough. I've owned lots of american cars (mustangs, camaros, a grand national) and I ran external electric pumps on all of them. As far as the noise goes as I stated earlier you can get quiet external pumps if you search around and they can...

    Need help with steering problem

    Sounds to me like it's either your ball joints or your upper control arm bushings. Check them for play per TSRM. Replace as necessary. I had the same problem and that's what turned out to be the culprit. I'll bet the front wheels hop around and the steering wheel feels like it wants to jerk...

    What in the hell is that?

    Man that's a relief, I thought it was some kinda spy-cam possibly installed by the KGB or Iraqi undercover agents or CIA or NSA.... How does it work?

    What in the hell is that?

    I was washing my 87 NA<T and as I was cleaning the windshield I noticed a tiny little lens that looks like a light sensor or something. It's on the top of the dashboard passenger side. What the heck is this thing? I'm thinking I don't have twilight sentinal like a Cadillac or a Lincoln, so what...

    Mounting Walbro FP Externally?

    Wouldn't external be better all the way around...easier access, no having to pull the tank etc. Now I'm kinda sorry I went with an internal. I know that some of the external fuel pumps can be noisy but I understand they 're are quiet external pumps on the market also. So why internal?

    CUSTOM ROUND "TRUCKER TAILIGHTS" GOOD OR GOOFY?

    At least I think I heard them reffered to as trucker tailights. I'm wondering: What are they??? Who has them??? How do they look??? I did a search and couldn't find anything. Pictures??? :1zhelp: I was picturing tailights similar to a corvette's and I thought it might not look...

    H4 Headlights?

    Whats the difference (besides removable bulb) between H3 and H4's? I'm running the Silvania ullta white silverstar H3's and they are bright and white. I can't imagine running anything brighter or whiter. I suppose the changing of the bulb element is an advantage if you want the purple tint or...

    Losing control W/O PS

    I am glad to see these kind of answers in response to the p/s debate. I keep reading threads wherein some moron wants to disconnect his p/s. "How out of control can you get?" Out of control enough to kill me or whoever you run into. How stupid can one be? Like Figgie said it's a 3200+ car...

    Overheating Nightmare !!

    This (to me) makes the most sense and seems the most likely source of your problem. I've had this exact situation and my head gasket was rutured in a way that caused a leak to the atmosphere rather then an internal leak. As a result the engine would pass the block test yet ran terribly. I would...

    How Many Daily Drivers?

    After reading and re-reading everybody's replies to my thread I couldn't resist commenting on what great testimony this is to the intrinsic value and quality of our beloved Supra MkIII's. When you think about it, we are the self appointed caretakers in charge of making sure that these cars...

    Car's done

    Good...now maybe it'll run long enough so you can take down that "supra and daily driver should not be used in the same sentence" line.

    Where to get wheels painted?

    Here's the deal, dont even mess with powder coat (IMHO). 1-Get yourself about 4 cans of the extra strength aerosol spray paint remover. 2-take wheels off car and spray liberally with above mentioned paint remover 3-cover wheels in aluminium foil while paint remover is working (enhances...

    side glass WTF????

    I know how you feel. The reason I posted this thread is because my son and I were discussing the finer points of swinging a baseball bat (in the garage)and during the show and tell portion of the discussion I ahh....well you get the idea. Anyway it needs to be replaced. I'm not looking forward...
