How bad are you missing the smog by??? I'm in Chattanooga and passed smog with flying colors in an 87 Turbo. I even smoke a little at idle(ring blowby) and am in need of an o2 sensor. Just take it in and pay the $10 to have it tested before going through the trouble of registering in another...

Don't get discouraged. It's only been 2 weeks, which says that the problems are from previous owners not caring for the car the way they should have. Sounds like a starter or battery issue. A battery can die in such a way that it will still put out 12v, but can't handle the amperage needed to...

Drilled rotors/lighter rims(there is debate about drilled rotors lasting, but I've run them on a 95 Celica for 80k with no cracking and MANY 100+mph stops). Sound deadening under carpet(tough job, but will net 20+ lbs of 'tar'). EGR(depending on emissions testing, in TN they don't even check...

I like donating to the kiddies, but am broke this year(getting the Supra running and all I can barely afford food after the bills are paid). If it comes back next year I'll be in.

Well, it looks like my parents will be there this weekend, but I won't be moving. Long story short, Home Depot is possibly buying out my dad's new company(Hughes Supply), and it's possible they may move to ATL after a couple years. I don't want to move half way through getting a BS at UCF...

Where do you get yours done? I pay $15 per disc to have mine done. So $60 for all 4 is a lot cheaper than ~$200. I haven't done anything to the Supra yet, but the Celica(95 ST) had slotted/drilled front rotors(rear was drum) with TRD pads and showed no signs of fading even in SCCA Rallycross...

26, 1 speeding ticket, 1 accident(totalled both vehicles) 87 Turbo Targa 5spd $100/month $250 deduct. Full Coverage w/ Progressive Credit plays a bigger role for some companies than driving record.

The only paint I'd do would be the engine bay(unless the paint job really sucks, which it doesn't appear to in the pics). Since the engine has to be pulled anyway, go ahead and spray the engine bay white to match the exterior.

I don't think that was a bad deal at all. If it were me, I'd swap in a turbo motor and 5 speed, but that's just me. Or rebuild the NA motor and you've got a good daily driver automatic.

I'm not much for the 1/4, but I wouldn't mind finding some Mk3's to chat with. Looks like I'll be down there on the 1st. So if anyone sees a 2 tone blue 87 Turbo on the back of a U-Haul, that's me. I got the address now too. Papers have yet to be signed, but it looks like we'll be living in...

I know from experience that a slower car won't help. I have gotten 0 tickets in the Supra. When I had my 88 Hyundai Excel I got tickets left and right. Same with my 95 Celica ST, I even had to go to the Highway Patrol headquarters and have a 'hearing' to keep my license(5 15+ tickets in less...

Not sure yet. They just bought the house(well, they will be getting it in a few weeks, but have put the bids in and will be letting go of their house here on the 18th). I believe it's the NE side of the city. They said it's an hour from Disney and 40 mins to the East coast. I'll be down there...

Well, at least I'll be in the same Region. It looks like I'll be moving back in with my parents around the first week of January. I'm more than likely getting laid off and the job market here sucks(many plant closings and lay offs from big companies have flooded the job market with...

I bought mine with 118k and a BHG. Further investigation showed a bad(frozen) turbo and bad(stuck open) injectors. After getting it back from the dealer(only way parents would let me borrow the cash for the BHG repair) it took a dump on a highway on-ramp. Toyota went through and replaced...

Nobody mentioned it, but I'm happy with the HKS SMF intake. Sure it's a foam type filter that can't be washed, but replacing the element costs the same(if not a little less) than cleaning/reoiling a K&N.

I had to use Dexron on a brand new rack. The PS fluid was too thin.

If you've taken care of plugs, know it's not the gas, and have cleared up the oil, then it's probably boost leak. The pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is easy to miss(it's the one mine was), as is the hose inside the front bumper.

Under 'User CP', 'Edit Options' -> 'Messaging & Notification'. 'Default Thread Subscription Mode' is the option you want.

He must be lactose intollerant.

I would have gotten one this month, but the torn accordian hose took priority. I'll definitely be getting one from you before the end of the year though(even if they go up a few bucks).
