    What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

    I was under the impression that the 1st MkIV's were technically called 93.5 Supras.

    The Rebuild! (90T)

    Dumb? well, no. It's just that as I said- the belt is dirt cheap. Do you REALLY want to go back into it in a year, just to replace that belt? PS- I've seen it recommended that if ANY oil gets on the belt, you have to toss it and buy a new one. The oil kills its life expectancy. As for my "great...

    1988 Supra 7mge Custom Paint Job

    No, acutally it doesn't. For one thing, neither shit or vomit from an infant is bright green, regardless of what they might eat. Secondly, the amount that could come out of an infant would (1) never be enough to coat an entire car, or (2) be of even enough consistency or color to look like a...

    code 52 **video inside** problem

    For clarification(for me), does code 52 represent that a knock is detected, or that there is a problem with the knock sensor system? If it is the latter, then unplugging the knock sensors won't verify anything, because even if you had a perfectly working system and unplugged the sensors, I would...

    My ever slow 86.5 build thread

    Might as well do it anyway. Peace of mind, plus it only takes about an hour to do.

    You need an upper control arm? Mine is good, with a good boot, AND brand new oem bushings can go with it... LMK

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1 through5- ***14 YEARS....Approaching the finish line!!!***

    Not much going on, just wanted to say hello, guys. The only thing I've done since completing the suspension/ brake stage, is to buy a new set of ARP's(they were on sale), get rid of some old parts, and do a bit of research. I'm leaning towards doing a shimless bucket install on the head, but...

    My ever slow 86.5 build thread

    Never mind. As far as the rebuild, good luck. I'm just glad I live in GA, where rust barely even exists...

    The Rebuild! (90T)

    Hey man! Sorry- I haven't caught up with your progress in a while. Did you still need shims? Lemme know what you still need. And - what do you mean the timing belt replacement requires more tools? If your tensioner is fine, then just get the belt. I would never reuse a 40k belt. The belt...

    project ruthless supra

    LMAO. Way to keep us in the loop on the minute by minute updates! Once every 29 months, eh? Regardless, the car is looking good. But what's the status? is the motor still out of the car, I guess? PS- I think I like your two-tone, but it would look a bit better if the body trim was...

    87 na-t

    LOL. Those two big green plugs hook to the knock sensors on the block, under the intake manifold. One is located near the #2 runner, the other is partly hidden by the starter at the rear. The only way to know that the cps is correct, is to remove it and line up the reference marks on the...

    My car has been sitting for over 5 years. Will not start.

    Ouch. When I dropped my tank for the Walbro replacement, it was clean as a whistle. My hanger still had its yellow zinc finish intact.

    My car has been sitting for over 5 years. Will not start.

    Unless there was something originally wrong with the suspension/ steering, I don't think you have to worry too much. The shocks' pistons may be a bit 'stuck', if the car hasn't been bounced in a while. Open the diagnostic port, and jumper Fp and B+ together, to see if your current pump is indeed...

    Taillight kill switch....Ghost car

    Well yes, I meant that they'd get the ticket AFTER they received some Po-Po lovin'. And... Did you mean beaten like Rodney King??

    Ebay Full Silicone Hose Kit

    Agreed. I don't see why they feel that they have to make a counterfeit set, but whateva- Now i'll look like i ponied up bigtime chedda.(What'd I just say?) I saw 2 types of wormgear clamps that can work with silicone; one has the drive serrations only on the outside of the band, and another has...

    Taillight kill switch....Ghost car

    How would this be interesting? Hypothetically, if someone were to use this mod in a different way from what YOU ever would(IE- on-road), say... to get away from the police, the cops would still simply see the area of road the car was lighting up from the headlight system, pull them over, and...
