    My 1977 7M-GTE CELICA! Finished! Test drive vid on page 18!

    Personally, I'd prolly do the short shifter mod, and use a larger shift boot, so that it'd look a bit more at home. And as for the grill, I would also suggest some sort of chrome or billet insert to allow airflow, but close up the hole, as previously mentioned above. AND- paint the IC black.

    Someone has done it - acrylic windows

    Saw this a while back, thought it was relevant. http://www.hrpworld.com/googlebase.cfm?key=Toyata%20Supra&form_prod_id=,209,334,_1337&action=product

    TbcMorris' post fire CT build

    I'm really sorry, man. And that's just a kick in the nuts about paying storage fees. "Hey- some guys stole your car and drove it for a while, but then they needed some cash, so they stripped the cool shit and sold it. If it wouldn't be too much bother, could you just go ahead and pay a thousand...

    gas pedal is stuck down and car keeps on reving up to 4000 rpm

    You might have kinked the cable, and now it's got too much friction.

    took a ride in a turbo for the first time

    My first ride in a turbo was a black 87 targa 5 speed, and I was shopping for my first Supra. I gave it some throttle, and thought, " hmm. That's nice I guess". I think the car was only making like 3 psi, so it was nothing impressive, so I figured if that's as fast as the turbos are, I'll just...

    My Head is off

    Was gonna say the same thing. Almost every set of ex. valves I've seen had hard white carbon(?) buildup. I found it WAY too tiring to try to grind it off, so I just got new ex. valves.

    Loose Windows

    I've never opened or closed my doors by the glass, and hardly ever is there someone in the passenger seat, yet they're both worn equally. Gotta inspect it more thoroughly though, to see where things are going wrong. Edit- Just had a thought- if the windows themselves are pressing against the...

    Loose Windows

    You know- I made adjustments to both of mine, and I also replaced the felt guides with new dealer parts, but still have way too much in/out play to mine. I gave up.

    When my turbo starts to boost my car cuts out........any ideas???

    OK, I just woke up, and already I've learned something new! That means I can be dumb for the rest of the day...:biglaugh: I didn't know that the Lexus karman sensor was plug and play to the Supra harness, I guess because I always heard of people putting the Lexus MAF body in, but always...

    rare supra

    Is it just me, or does that look like a pre-89 nose? It's hard to tell, but they look like the earlier(longer) style of turn signals. I dunno. Looks like it's 89 everything else.

    car runs but lacks power!!! part 2 with videos

    Well, this may sound dumb, but just check to see if any grounds of the harness are not secure. The deal with your boost gauge- that's obviously an electrical problem, like a bad ground.

    Damn- I paid $16 at my dealership.

    When my turbo starts to boost my car cuts out........any ideas???

    Any you? Lexus electronics in a stock Supra MAF??? I'm confused here. I thought you're supposed to use 7M electronics(so the ECU can cope) with the larger flowing MAF body from the Lexus??? If this is the case, I think I can see why you're both having problems. Someone help me understand!!

    When my turbo starts to boost my car cuts out........any ideas???

    I thought the idea was to use STOCK electronics in a Lexus MAF??

    Mechanical Engineering: How to make a MONSTER

    Oh my...and yes, an 84mm headgasket would be fine, and like was said already, don't look for a thinner head gasket. Sounds like you want about a 1.4 or 1.5mm headgasket, if very little material was removed.

    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    Wow. Everyone's already said it here, but that is awesome. I would also like to see some sunlight photos of it, especially once it has its mouldings on. At that point, I think the car is going to be Amazing. Go park it in the middle of a Ferrari meet, and see where everyone gravitates to...

    GA Supras

    At the start of next month, I'll be over on the lawrenceville/ Winder side of town as well, as I'm moving there. So keep this thread posted about any future meet, as I'll be happy to drive my ugly-ass work-in-progress over. :naughty:

    My Krzy Mk3 (56k Beware)

    LOL! I was wondering when someone would chime in about this "IT'S ALIVE!....ALIVE!!!!" :yelrotflm

    well damn everyone else has one....goal=keep it running!

    Looks good. I personally didn't like the PBR ultimates, though. They made way more dust than any other pad i've used, and squealed all the time up front. I went back to metal masters.
