    ma70 vs ma71

    I really have no idea how many times this has come up or I've had to post it, heh. There is no MA71 Chassis, they're all MA70. MA71 is used in the VIN/Model Code to denote a Turbo model, that's it. Toyota does it all the time. AE86 GT-S models have AE88 in the VIN, AE86 Chassis, etc.

    My new Supra; the second one! What do you think?

    If it was me, I'd be swapping the Turbo parts over to the 92, along with the wheels, 5-speed, etc. 5-Speed 92 Turbo Teal Supra with shadow grey interior or a grey 88 Turbo with brown interior... But it's up to you. Good luck with both cars!

    Speaker Size in a '87 Turbo?

    Yup, agreed with Justin. I have 5.25 up front in my 88 and 4" in back. I had to modify both so they'd fit. The fronts were too large, and the rears just slightly too small.

    soarpra???

    No, you need to make custom fenders using the MK3 and Soarer fenders. It will be a close match up, but you're looking at quite a bit of custom work. Not really close to putting a Silvia front end on a 180/240SX, or putting a Levin front end on a Trueno, where it's the same chassis and it all...

    Michael Jackson NOT guilty?!?!

    Unless you think he didn't do anything to molest the children, but still feel it's really weird for a grown man to be sleeping with children he doesn't know. When I was a kid, I'd stay over at my uncle's place all the time, but I never slept in the same bed as him... now imagine a stranger...

    octane question

    You're not wrong, 7psi is within the stock boost range specs, and 87 is the minimum required. (I think Toyota changed it to a suggested 89 octane on 89+ models, can't remember for sure).

    Never checked the alt, I'll look into it. :)

    octane question

    As long as you aren't pinging, there's no problem. My car ran fine on 87 octane up to 7psi without pinging ever.

    Dashboard Covers?

    I think he was more talking about covers that actually fit over the entire dash and look like they're the original dash pad. They're made for a lot of cars.

    Supra won't start, need help

    Actually after this winter's storage, the intake manifold gasket and injector rings were replaced because the intake manifold gasket had a crack. (Happened last year). It's been running fine for months now though, and the gas tank has basically been emptied probably about 3 times. I thought...

    Supra won't start, need help

    I've checked all the connectors I can find. They're all solid, I'll check the CPS one again, but I'm pretty sure there's a good connection, and I'm getting a solid spark from all 3 coil packs. As far as fuel quality goes, I can't really remember, it happened earlier this week, I've been...

    Supra won't start, need help

    Hey guys, just thought I'd ask for your input real quick. I'm having basically my first problem with the Supra in 7 years, aside from the BHG... It died on me and won't start. It basically happened within about 10 minutes, the car started feeling sluggish, then stalled when I came to some...

    Dashboard Covers?

    Not that I know of. It's a very large dash to build a cover for.

    RWD. It was the last RWD Corolla before they went to totally FWD. (Well, 87 was the last year, but it's the same car).

    lol

    Mine weighs a bit under 2400lbs. As far as wheels go, yeah, MK2 wheels look pretty good on these cars, but it's okay, I'm not going that direction. I'm getting these wheels reconditioned then picking up new center caps from Toyota. EDIT: Oh yeah, this thread belongs in OT. I'm moving it ;).

    lol

    Heh, I'm hoping to have a bit over 200hp out of my Corolla once I get the engine swap done, but that's a long way off. (It's getting a 4A-GZE -- 170hp stock, and upping the boost should put me up even more, combined with intake/exhaust and cams, it should go pretty well. :)) Here's a pic of...

    LOL I'm restoring the car, I couldn't not get them to put back on. Then it would just look like an SR5, and I couldn't have that ;).

    lol

    Look, I even got new door decals to replace the old ones when I paint the car: I like bragging that my car has Twin Cam ;), it's what makes it the "good" Corolla ;). It's not that it has Twin Cam that makes it good, as there were poopy newer Corollas with Twin Cam, but an 86 GT-S is quite the...
