    Stolen: Light Blue 1986.5 N/A MKIII - Gardena, California USA = RECOVERED!!!!

    Glad you got them back... How exactly did they steal the cars after all? Was a Toyota key deal used, broken ign switch, etc? I am getting ready to install a supr-duper alarm, kill switches, and am also looking to re-key the locks in a non-Supra way (just in case).

    I am wore out! Just took a minute to stitch them pics of the line up... I've played around with a couple more effects from Windows Live Photo Gallery, but these 2 files are 15MB and 20MB. I'm just providing the links for you to DL and check out. Nothing major, just black/white effects. I...

    Signs Of Clutch Master/Slave Dieing

    Latest status: Replaced the MC and the clutch pedal would stay on the floor (tho it "popped" up while bleeding). I removed the MC and adjusted the rod/pedal height and still a pop. Did the rebuild on the slave (extremely easy to do BTW), then bled again. Pedal comes back up w/a pop. I...

    Signs Of Clutch Master/Slave Dieing

    Well... I decided to bleed the system again and buy some time. Looks like I can finally see something wet along the firewall... = Master Cylinder. Gonna take a couple of days to get one from Autozone (longer from others) for about $46. If you think yours is on he way out and you are...

    Signs Of Clutch Master/Slave Dieing

    Well.... Luckily, I think it's easy enough to replace if it comes to that. I hear alot of other's opinions on Autozone's or other parts stores' rebuilt items, but have actually had good success in this regard. I've bought a/c compressors, brake & clutch master cylinders, starters, and...

    Signs Of Clutch Master/Slave Dieing

    I have just recently started to have a weird symptom. As the pedal tarvels back up, it will hang for a sec, then "pop" back up. I bled it once before 'cause it felt like it was not engaging until near the floor (becomes harder to push shifter into 1st gear). No leaks at the time before and...

    Broken front wheel studs? I got the fix.

    I have a pic of this somewhere, let me see if I can find it. The MKIII and MKIVs uses the same wheel stud AFAIK (at least the ones I picked up at Autozone were the same). Edit: Found it. Not very clear, but you can see the metal bent back in the picture. Cut the metal shield in a way...

    Steering rack knock

    Ugh! Had a PS fluid leak, so went and changed the crush washers (didn't have 'em when I swapped the rack the 1st time). Re-tightened the PPS piece that I had to re-use from the old unit, but I still have a leak somwhere ... Gonna wrap some plastic around the boot to isolate it. The in/out...

    Steering rack knock

    Once I got 'em side by side, I found it easy enough to find and move that piece over (cleaned the screens and replaced he o-rings). THANKS! Hindsight: The ~$153 unit comes with bushings, whch cost Me another $35 from Toyota (aren't even polyurethane). I thought that the $183 unit may have...

    Steering rack knock

    Got the PS rack bushings yesterday... Seems that the reman steering rack does not have the piece for the PPS on it (with the wire/connector). For those who've changed these before w/reman units, am I supposed to move the PPS hydr. unit over to the new rack? OR, is it already supposed to...

    Hatch struts support lifts = $30 ea.

    I just remember seeing threads awhile back when there weren't any aftermarket options... $140 each from Toyota is about as painful as when the hatch comes down on your head ;-) Anyone know where I can get some for my hood? Freakin' Mighty-Lifts say Lifetime guarantee, but they have never...

    Hatch struts support lifts = $30 ea.

    Autozone... I saw 'em at the store, but you can also get 'em online from them.

    Hatch struts support lifts = $30 ea.

    Might be old news, but I was looking to replace my hood struts,, but the only thing Autozone had in stock was the hatch struts. Knowing how much these cost from Toyota, just thought I'd share that I found them and they have a universal-type of bracket that should make it a direct replacement...

    WeezLWing's Targa Brace

    I've had some interst in one of my spares by a couple of people and though I love these alot, I really only need 1. I have not been able to find the original group buy threads, so that I can decide on fair pricing. I even have a set of the original Dean Marcum targa bars. Anyways I want...

    painting the supra

    I have a black car and am planning to paint as well. Supposedly the hardest colr to paint, since flaws are easily seen. There are alot of tips and write-ups out there and this is what I've been looking at. It is not trivial and you need to do your homework before purchasing paint. The...

    Steering rack knock

    It's made it a long way... I am pretty tied up this weekend, otherwise I'd see ya'll at the track tomorrow (Ennis). I'll try to make it to some other local get togethers before TX2K9. We're getting the wife's MKIV painted next week. We'll have to do her TT swap after we get back from...

    Steering rack knock

    I've got one of those Lifetime-Alignment deals from a place that's only a couple of miles away. I go after almost any change that I make to suspension components. At the very least, they check it out and prrovide a read-out that shows everything within spec. That's why I went with the whole...

    Steering rack knock

    I ordered the ~$183 unit which does say PPS application... It is about $24 for shipping and $64 core. Although I did chat with them and they said that the other unit ($158) "It will also work for progressive power steering application." I still wasn't 100% convinced so I ordered the...
