    Want to get paid for your MKIII knowledge?

    I can relate to that. My folks lived in Japan and my mum is horrible with time zones.

    Discovered that after 2 days of perfect behavior a coolant leak has sprung from somewhere on the back of the engine. Damn.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I flush all my brake/clutch systems and convert to DOT 5. The key benefit being DOT 5 is synthetic and won't eat paint. Some will argue that the boiling point is lower but if your going hard enough to boil your brake fluid you need a roll cage and a track.

    Almost done but it's 3AM. Finish putting the engine back in tomorrow and breathe life back in to her.

    AR-10 is chambered in. 308. AR-15 is chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223. Pretty much the entire gun is different.

    What is this Supra Worth

    For not much more you can find much nicer examples. I'd probably pay 1200 for a very nice shell needing engine work or a fantastic runner with some body damage. Definitely not for one needing both and interior.

    I love turbos but the sound of big blower on a massive V8 is pure sex.

    what is this and where does it go?

    I went and checked my 88 since I have the motor out and didn't see one. Aftermarket maybe. Common automotive uses are ignition points (obviously not for a Supra), stereo systems (usually bigger), some after market ignition systems. It will be wired directly into what ever it's storing power for...

    7MGTE headgasket blew...what should i do next?

    In a nutshell, any performance engines longevity and performance is directly linked to how much time and money you're willing to spend on it. Everything from planning your build properly to sourcing quality parts to the build itself. The 7M is just as reliable as the 2J with proper planning...

    7MGTE headgasket blew...what should i do next?

    I'm in the middle of a very basic bhg repair and I'm about 1500 or so into it. That's not doing a bottom end rebuild or mhg. You could do it much cheaper but I'm upgrading weak points, replacing all the hoses with silicone and using OEM gaskets where aftermarket bits won't cut it. I should still...

    I've used B&G on other cars and always loved the drop and ride quality. I plan on running them with the Illumina II's on the Supra.
