    Poll: Pick a color for my Supra.

    Hello all, I will be painting my MKIII Supra soon and I can't decide what color to paint it. I work at Napa and can mix paint according to the Martin Senour website and think both of the colors would look fantastic. They would both cost me the same to do and my interior will be painted...

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    I posted the pics in the original thread that Starscream posted, the mods haven't approved my post yet. BTW I have no aftermarket BS in my car, the problem was that there WAS. I had to do major repair to the wire harness when I first got the car, so the BS alarm that was in the car cut into...

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    Did the relay today and took pics, worked like a charm. My starter has NEVER cranked slowly, that was how I knew that it worked. If the battery was even a HAIR low all it would do was click. The battery had been powering Metallica for four hours while I finished swapping my dash and doing the...

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    I already had the starter apart, and shes brand new inside. No misshapen parts no burn marks no corrosion, nothing. She'll start with a remote starter switch, Wouldn't that point to the wiring? The bearing clearances were just barely in spec. Those caps were SMOOSHING the plastigauge. I...

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    I've had my 1988 MKIII Supra for three years now, when I got it (it was NA/Auto) it had this annoying problem. When I would turn the key I would hear the ECU click, and when I would turn back from the start position the starter would click. Back when I first got the car I knew nothing of...

    im inspired now i need a job

    What he said. If you want to dump tons of money into a Toyota to put a Nissan Motor in it, rather than spend half the money to put in a more powerful motor that there is already a lot of resources and a lot of success in doing then by all means do it. Not to mention that you can just use an...

    Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?
