    can somebody double check this... im doing an auto-N/A to Manual-Turbo Swap.

    Swapping ABS would be a HUGE PITA! Not only would you have to install that cube and all of the lines, but the wiring to everything, including the Speed Sensors in the transmission, and both front wheels...as well as the computer.

    can somebody double check this... im doing an auto-N/A to Manual-Turbo Swap.

    The altitude sensor is built into the ECU on 89+ models. It is called the "HAC Sensor". The igniter is the flat metal rectangular looking box behind the engine fuse block. It has a couple of connectors coming from it.

    Is this supra a good deal?

    ooops, wasn't sure about the squirters. But if the wing were removed, wouldn't there be holes in the fender? And the paint in that area would look kinda funky? And it doesn't look like it has any emblem on it...and the Supra in the pic doesn't appear to be a Targa either. That car looks to...

    Is this supra a good deal?

    That would be a good deal, if that car in the pic were a Turbo... It doesn't have the fin on the back, no headlight squirters, and it's on sawblades...they stopped putting those on Supra's in 1990.

    Supra in "Beverly Hills Brats"

    I have this movie on VHS, and there is a Supra in the beginning racing a corvette...I had no other way to get it online to share with the community, other than digitally recording the TV screen...so the quality sucks, but here is the video clip...I hope everyone enjoys it! Also, watch it until...

    rear ended

    Same thing happened to me, three days after i bought my Supra... Your car is definitely a total, it looks like it has quite a bit of frame damage, not just what you see on the outside...is it leaking gas too? You are gonna have to find another Supra...I'm really sorry man.

    Pics of my head...:P

    well, when I bought the car, the block had already been rebuilt, because it had rod knock due to a BHG... then it BHG'd again, then i got it...so it has had AT LEAST 2 BHG's that I know of. And the car isn't consuming any coolant, but I do get the occasional waterfall sound behind the dash...

    Okay, I did my head gasket about 9 months ago, and I just got access to some of the pics I took during the repair (most got deleted). Here they are! Here is a pic of the head after I got it back from the machine shop...notice the corrosion around the water jackets. Here's a closeup of the...

    Cold start tapping/knocking...uh oh....

    You need to pressure test the system. You can either have a shop do it, or you can rent the tool from Autozone/Napa. Pressurize the system to ~21psi, and look around for leaks. It should be VERY apparent at those pressures.

    Supra's Rival

    Yea, I have always thought of the Eclipse as a cheap "sporty" (not sports) coupe...the Supra is just in a completely different league altogether.

    Side Trims

    The MA70's are considered "widebody" only because there was a narrow-body version of the MKIII not sold in the US that was labeled "GA70", It was the economy version, and came with a little (;)) twin turbo engine, the "1G-GTE". And for the USDM 89+ tails, you have to get the tails, and the...

    I HATE THIS CAR!!!!

    Don't get so bent! Just relax and take it slowly, replace whatever needs replacing, do it right and be done with it...it doesn't help to get all pissed off and frustrated, just makes things take EVEN longer, and then you get more pissed off/frustrated...it's a vicious cycle!!...not to mention...

    Yeah Jake..lock my thread...

    If you were having trouble handling your job(s), then why did you throw more responsibility/commitments on top of those, and expect it to all work out? You are worn out because you are overloading yourself, and you probably need a vacation...but even still that is hardly an excuse for...
