    What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

    LOVE that color. Didn't even know it was a factory option, as I've never seen one.

    Poor Man's BBK

    I'd like to see some detailed info on the rear brakes as well. For the fronts, I did the Cobra conversion. I don't know if I'd call it a poor man's brake setup, as it totalled me about $800. That includes brackets, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and pads. Not bad, but dollar vs. performance, I...

    Fuel Pressure Dropping and Engine Break-up at 3500 RPM Regardless of Load/Boost

    I think 3P is right, because if the fuel rail "water hammer" does happen, then *maybe* the resonant frequency happens to be ~3500rpm, given your injector size, fuel pressure, and all other variables.

    What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

    Saw what I thought was a weird thing in the junk yard the other day, A 1987 Supra na, with a power sunroof, that retracted INTO the car, and not above the roof. I assumed it was aftermarket.

    What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

    I was under the impression that the 1st MkIV's were technically called 93.5 Supras.

    The Rebuild! (90T)

    Dumb? well, no. It's just that as I said- the belt is dirt cheap. Do you REALLY want to go back into it in a year, just to replace that belt? PS- I've seen it recommended that if ANY oil gets on the belt, you have to toss it and buy a new one. The oil kills its life expectancy. As for my "great...

    1988 Supra 7mge Custom Paint Job

    No, acutally it doesn't. For one thing, neither shit or vomit from an infant is bright green, regardless of what they might eat. Secondly, the amount that could come out of an infant would (1) never be enough to coat an entire car, or (2) be of even enough consistency or color to look like a...

    code 52 **video inside** problem

    For clarification(for me), does code 52 represent that a knock is detected, or that there is a problem with the knock sensor system? If it is the latter, then unplugging the knock sensors won't verify anything, because even if you had a perfectly working system and unplugged the sensors, I would...

    My ever slow 86.5 build thread

    Might as well do it anyway. Peace of mind, plus it only takes about an hour to do.

    My ever slow 86.5 build thread

    You need an upper control arm? Mine is good, with a good boot, AND brand new oem bushings can go with it... LMK

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    Not much going on, just wanted to say hello, guys. The only thing I've done since completing the suspension/ brake stage, is to buy a new set of ARP's(they were on sale), get rid of some old parts, and do a bit of research. I'm leaning towards doing a shimless bucket install on the head, but...

    Never mind. As far as the rebuild, good luck. I'm just glad I live in GA, where rust barely even exists...

    The Rebuild! (90T)

    Hey man! Sorry- I haven't caught up with your progress in a while. Did you still need shims? Lemme know what you still need. And - what do you mean the timing belt replacement requires more tools? If your tensioner is fine, then just get the belt. I would never reuse a 40k belt. The belt...

    project ruthless supra

    LMAO. Way to keep us in the loop on the minute by minute updates! Once every 29 months, eh? Regardless, the car is looking good. But what's the status? is the motor still out of the car, I guess? PS- I think I like your two-tone, but it would look a bit better if the body trim was...

    87 na-t

    LOL. Those two big green plugs hook to the knock sensors on the block, under the intake manifold. One is located near the #2 runner, the other is partly hidden by the starter at the rear. The only way to know that the cps is correct, is to remove it and line up the reference marks on the...
