I am really curious how many of you drive your Supras on a daily (and I mean everyday) basis? Also, I'd like to know how many people have only the one car (Supra) and must depend on it totally? How modded is it? I hear alot of people say that Supra's aren't reliable daily transportation...

So even after I take off all the panels I still have to cut through the butal (I think thats what it's called) and I need a special tool... I swear to God I'd rather do a head gasket! I hate f'ing with those plastic panels. So I'm beggining to get the idea that there is no easier softer way.

I hear ya but...think about it, you're 1 psi over acceptable varience for compression right now. If you're going to have to take it apart anyway why not do it now rather then sink money and time into an engine that is definitely going to require further attention later. Honestly, you are...

thanks the exploding glass thing is what I'm trying to avoid. I finally found it on TSRM but it says you have to pull all the side trim even the bottom cover. I'm hoping that is not the case.

Has anybody ever replaced their rear side glass? I cannot figure this out :aigo: All I could manage was to get the back corner piece of trim off. I can't figure out how the top piece of trim comes off and I'm not sure what's under it and what's holding the glass on. Any insight into...

Maybe you could keep looking for the good pictures and post em? Cant tell shit from your teeny little avatar. Sounds interesting though....

Hold on a sec here....15 lbs of compression ration variance is too much! :nono: Yeah, it'll run but it's still beyond the acceptable range. I think your making a big mistake by not taking this thing all the way apart. Look at what you've done so far. Do you really want to keep patching this...

That's what guys like this Yasheer understand. You can sue him but good luck on collecting from this deadbeat. Me? I'd take it out of his worthless ass. Sorry you guys got burnt. Doesn't mean everybodys bad...unfortunately you just happen to cross paths with this pos.

Sounds about right. For what it's worth here's what I would do: Start from scratch. Pull the motor and disassemble the whole nasty mess. Inspect every bolt, nut, rod, piston, crank journal, valve, spring....well, you get the idea. Reason is, you're never gonna know what you have until...

Sorry to hear it. I know how you feel, everytime I let my guard down...DISASTER! That Blows. Good luck.

Sounds like a boost leak of some kind. How old is your turbo? When my last one went out it started spooling slower and slower and slower and....

May the turbo Gods be with you.

The auto trans on both the N/A and the turbo are the a340e. The only difference is in the clutch pack. The turbo has heavier duty clutch packs. Other than that they're the same.

I look forward to hearing about the drive! I'll pray.

Shaeff, when's your garage queen gonna take it's first voyage...keep us posted, try to keep your foot out of it for at least a little while huh? :biglaugh:

Well said! It's like anything else you get out what you put in. My na>t is reliable as a stone but...I did the motor right and I don't skrimp on the parts (no cheap shit). Also I put the time in maintaining and upgrading this car. I've touched every nut and bolt.

Oh wise one tell us more... seriously, how much lighter? stronger? weaker? Why higher revs, is it just the lighter weight? Love to know any info you might have on crank differences. :icon_conf

I read the post and that was exactly what I was thinking. Why even try to start it? You're just going to do damage at this point. Don't wait until you have a rod sticking out the side of the block! :3d_frown: :3d_frown:

...yet... sorry...couldn't resist...
