    If I ever relocated my battery I'd just bolt a plastic bin/container where the battery was to throw tools and small parts in while working in the engine bay. But that probably wouldn't look too good if you're car is set up for show or if you don't work on your car almost every other day like I...

    We'll be looking more into it tomorrow. I didn't have a whole lot of time to look at it today but from what I saw the 87 harness was pretty rigged and the vacuum lines weren't all there. I used my car as a reference to connect all the vacuum lines on his. Thought I got them all anyway. That...

    Quick question. A friend of mine has an 87 supra and a 90 supra. He took the 7m-gte out of the 90 and put it in the 87. It runs like shit. Barely revs over 1500 rpm and quickly dies. I was asking him about how he did the swap and he said he just dropped the engine in and kept the 87 ecu and...

    DIY: Tail Lamp Failure Sensor Bypass GET YOUR TAIL AND/OR BRAKE LIGHTS BACK!

    Does it sound like I have a short or a bad ground somewhere? I got another tail light sensor from a scrapped 86 along with the plug and a few inches of wire. I plugged it all up to my car and the brake lights come on and stay on. I studied the wiring diagram and I'm 90% sure that the way I was...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Went to a scrap yard and found one supra. 86.5 targa. It was pretty much gutted but I got a few bits off of it. Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    DIY: Tail Lamp Failure Sensor Bypass GET YOUR TAIL AND/OR BRAKE LIGHTS BACK!

    Sometimes I don't have a choice. I need to be to interviews and work. I try to stay off the road as much as possible. I stay off highways and try to stay out of heavy traffic areas. The last thing i need is someone rear ending me cause my brake lights don't work. I looked at the diagram for the...

    I can imagine. I had to remove my strut bar though. That's what broke the old clamp and it was rubbing on the new one Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    Yea, I've been hearing a lot about that Toyota red vs regular green. My car had green when I bought it. I'd ask what the difference is but I can probably find everything I need to know and more if I searched. Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    That was the problem suprasick. I should have checked that first. It was pooled up waaayyy more than I thought it'd be. It was flooded from front to back Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    Makes sense. But I didn't think about that because when I first got this car the front portion of the valley was completely filled with coolant and it ran perfectly fine. So I figured a little bit of coolant down there wouldn't effect it this bad. Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    Would this make my car run like crap? That line has always had a slow leak but now the clamp broke and is spitting coolant everywhere. My car started running terrible and when i popped the hood I saw this. Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

    What is your supras name?

    That's a better name than what my friends called me. My first car was an orange, and I mean "hey look at me! I'm orange! Orange" dodge neon. Everyone called me Chester. Like Chester cheetah... Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
