This will take some research on your part, because asking someone to post openly on the internet how to disable theft deterrents on our car is asking for trouble. If you're really lucky, one of the guys that has already gone through this will PM you privately. And no, I can't, because I've...

That plug isn't connected to anything on mine, either. I noticed the same thing on my first rebuild, we eventually decided that it was either the EGR temp for the California emissions, as they don't make special wiring harnesses just for that, or the alarm horn, which didn't come on my car. I...

And, just in case you were wondering... Engine undercover, part # 51441-14110, MSRP $164.02, Price from Champion Toyota $123.02.

This is old news. You need to do the fog light rewire trick from SOGI. http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=42

This is normal. It's soot from your exhaust gas. Use a large socket and a really long breaker bar, coat it in penetrating oil first and let it sit for a day.

I have driven one. I'd love to know how you get around the left hand turn into oncoming traffic problem... as far as I can see, you have two choices, either screw up traffic, or risk your life. On the other hand, at least I don't have to worry about RHD car drivers increasing the insurance...

39. Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

Here's one of mine...

Threadjack! I used to have the same coil on my '82 Celica. One of my less than bright wrench buddies tried to test it by holding on to the coil lead while touching the head, because he was convinced it was dead. Then he got me to crank it over. I thought it was a bad idea, but he...

At the least, the subframe to engine mounting is different... still can be done, but you'll have to take off the engine mounts and put on the ones from the older style frame.

How can you not like the Mk3 seats? They are some of the best stock seats ever made.

Not unless he's crazy enough to truck it from Las Vegas to Florida!

Dropping gas mileage = boost leak or bad AFM. Build the $2 boost leak tester... and see if you can borrow a known good AFM from another local guy.

When they made the rules, it wasn't a problem - Japanese cars weren't all that desirable in the first place, the only people who would buy something like that were collectors who were never going to actually drive them on a street. Now, it's starting to become a problem. I wouldn't be the...

Folks, here's some food for thought. Lots of people say, "Oh, the Supra isn't better than a Civic hatch with a bunch of mods done to it." Really? Let's check a few things. Does that Honda have a targa roof? Cruise control? AC? Comfortable seats? Automatic climate control? Pop up...

Not quite tanks. Tank + bus = Tank with a new paintjob. Tank + dump truck = Tank that needs a powerwash. Supra + bus, commercial truck, tank, hell, even a small APC = dead Supra, dead Supra driver, dead Supra driver's wife & kids, probably even dead Supra driver's mom back at her house.

Move to Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have exactly the opposite problem, we can't convince a Mk4 driver to show up for our meets for love OR money. Hell, for that matter we have a bunch of the high power Mk3 drivers here too, and guess what, they don't show up either! I'm tired of my car, with the...

That part is great... once. The problem is trying to make left hand turns. You can't see past the oncoming traffic because you're on the wrong side of the car, and when you make a mistake you get t-boned where you sit instead of having all the protection of the passenger's side seat.

Not worthwhile, IMO. I live in Canada, and I could BUY one outright, but driving a right hand drive vehicle in a left hand drive country is plain dangerous.

Agreed. All those copper looking bits that surround the water jackets are supposed to be perfect curves. Those look squished in the middle, classic signs of a dead gasket.
