    heater core confusion

    Here's another way to tell... what color is your coolant? I thought my heater core was leaking, as I had pink dried coolant on my driver side near the throttle pedal/linkage. Kinda panicked because pulling the dash isn't exactly on my "fun things to do with a Mk3" list. Come to find out, when we...

    Obsolete MKIII parts; are there any?...yet?

    Ordered new hood seals yesterday, the one that goes across the radiator support and the one that goes across the firewall in back. Guy at Champion called me today to let me know the rear seal is discontinued. Know where I might be able to buy one from Jeff? Or does anyone know of a different...

    2010 Supras Invade Las Vegas (tm) – mid October

    You and IJ...:: IJ. :: Makes sense Keith, I haven't had my own car to be at the show/shine since 2006, due to some bad luck/timing the last couple events. Seems the lunch option was dropped, I dunno if you mentioned that? Oh, and just so we're clear, it's $30 to get into the show/shine...

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    JJ just earned the post of the month as far as I'm concerned. :biglaugh: As for myself, I just quit my job with Home Depot of 5 years. First three of those were spent working as their nut/bolt vendor until the company HD outsourced to laid me off. I can't complain too much, they bought my 89 as...

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    Gremlins. That's what's going on in your cursed engine. Takes a lot of trouble to get rid of them all in a Mk3. On an unrelated note, NT05's, nice tires... I just picked up a set and love them. Just noticed your car is RHD too... damn Canucks. :p Anyway, I may have missed it, but how's your...

    Fast and Furious Supra Pics?

    I think the OP owes us a 10 second thread... with NOS.

    Its so hot!

    Another thing to consider is your heater core... Check the carpets on the inside of the firewall, near your throttle linkage and on the passenger side. If you have any pink (or whatever color your coolant is) you may need to push the hose from the engine bay further onto the heater core pipe. I...

    Tacky or not: Seat covers

    Sheepskin in a black/gray looks nice if you have a dark interior, gimme a second... See, nice and simple, compliments the interior nicely.

    Clunk sound from rear- Anyone ever had a bad half shaft?

    Just had my clutch replaced and now I'm getting the same clunk between shifts or whenever I go from no throttle to any throttle... This has given me lots of things to check out. :)

    New CF-Hood for MKIII

    You know the sad thing supraguy? I've SEEN Corvette Summer. :nono: I think this is a rehash of a thread that popped up recently though... perhaps it was in one of the vendor threads. Personally speaking, I like the idea, but I'd have to see it on a car. If it has a radiator vent, it might be...

    Does anyone have experience with AC on the MK3 Supra Specifically?

    I had the a/c in my 88 recharged in April 2006 (in AZ) for the summer. It got pretty damn cold for April, had the windows tinted the same time. Only lasted a few months, but I spent them in Wyoming, so it wasn't all that necessary. In AZ summer heat, I've never been in a car that felt *all* that...

    oil pan question

    Wait, lemme get this straight... you have a motor, and are trying to decide what to put it in? Sounds like a new one to me. :) Chip's right though, rear sump for us Mk3 guys. Motor mounts are a bit different between the 86.5-88 and the 90-92. 89's kinda a bastard year of who-knows-what-you-get.

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    I'll take a stab at it like I always do... same old suggestion too. Works for me and pretty much everyone that's had the same problem I did, but some people think it's a bad idea without giving a better one. Anyway, I digress. Try giving it about 1/4 throttle after you start it. What's it do...

    ATI custom damper

    So you have an ATI dampener, an FFIM, and an ARZ valley cover... and a ct26? :biglaugh: Just giving you a bit of shit, just seems out of place. I think Duane makes a good point though, about the mallet. I can't imagine that being a very good thing to be hitting the nose of the crank...

    Spare tire well subwoofer box

    Looks nice, one question though: how did your old sub box get so moldy? Your hatch doesn't seem to have any real bad rust issues... not at first glance anyway. Gives me an idea for a mold though, I'll be putting mine where the rear sets were (and cage now is), I'm wondering if I'd be able to...

    "Sorry Dad, I wrecked your sports car"

    You know, my dad owned a 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 with the 4 speed Muncie... when he was 17, in 1980. Long before these sorts of cars were gold mines (the LS6 in particular is quite valuable these days), built it up a bit, got drunk, tried racing some guy, and wrapped it around a pole. I still...

    2010 Supras Invade Las Vegas (tm) – mid October

    Err... sorry, was rather tired when I posted that. I meant the show/shine and the drags, but it seems you answered my question. So why does the show and shine cost money this year? I can't say I remember it costing anything since 06...

    anyone done a diesel turbo on a supra?

    Just be careful what sort of diesel engine you're getting a turbo from... We've come across a couple HUGE mofos that would be fun for a rotory, but useless on a smaller piston engine. Some diesel engines (looking more at semi trucks here) use 7 blade turbos, some use 11 blade. You probably won't...
