I'm selling my supra soon and was wondering what I can get for it. I need at least 3,000 because that's about how much I put into it as a low estimate. It's a white 1987 turbo. I rebuilt the engine about 3000 miles ago and it's been running extremely well. The turbo leaks a little bit of oil...

Is it possible to use some kind of compound that can restore leather on steering wheels. By restore I don't actually mean restore. I mean make it so that your hand doesn't stick to it and you don't pick up little flakes of leather when you slide your hand on it.

Does anyone know how good the turbo rebuild kits are and how well they get the job done? I know i've seen the write up on rebuilding the turbo itself but I just want advice on whether I should go that route or not. I'm trying to sell my car soon and I don't wanna sell it with oil blowing out...

My car seems to be burning oil out of the exhaust at almost completely random times. It really only does it at idle and seems to only be when the oil is not fully warmed up and the pressure is higher. Because of that it made me think it was the turbo pulling vacuum, combined with the higher...

I hear a clicking/thumping sound when I'm driving that's times with the speed of the car and is coming from the front right. I took the wheel off and tried to inspect everything. I found out that I need a new lower ball joint because it's got somewhere between .5-1 inches of vertical play in...

So my guage doesn't work and I have oil pressure. I just bought a new sender and it didn't fix the problem. I took the instrument panel off and grounded the guage and it didn't budge. My first question is if it's possible for the guage to get stuck? Otherwise, how do I get a new reciever for...

I saw someone on this forum around last year that had a set of white wire spoke wheels. I thought they looked amazing on the white supra. They looked very fitting for an older car. I personally don't like the look of more modern extravagent wheels on this style body so I would really like to...

I have a coolant leak behind the head by that heater hose nonsense. Is there any good way to get at this without pulling the head off. I'm looking for nifty tricks here I don't expect there to be like a magical door in the firewall...although that would be amazing.

I have this rattling sound coming from my engine. And it's not a rod knock or valve tick rattling sound. I know what both of those sound like and i'm sure it's not that. The strange thing is that when I first start the car it does it on and off every few seconds. After a little while, maybe...

So this is very very strange. I was getting power to everything the other day but the car wouldn't turn over. I checked continuity across the starter and decided it was bad and then took it to autozone to confirm it and replace it. I got a new starter and installed it, having to remove and...

When I push on my car it rolls like there's no tomorrow. It's like a boat in some rough waters. Anyway, I don't know that much about suspension but I assume it's the shocks no longer doing their job. Also the springs are wicked rusty. Can springs reach a point where the spring constant...

So I got everything back on the car after doing a a rod knock rebuild. I rolled the car out of my garage into the driveway, go to start it up...nothing. I turn the ignition and hear a click shortly after i turn the key. I assume this is the starter relay? Then nothing else happens. If it...

So a while ago before i starting trying to pull this engine I heard what sounded like rod knock. I was doubting it was rod knock because i didn't hear it when i bought the car from the guy and it hadn't run since then so i figured it couldn't develop like that. Anyway i pulled spark to every...

I'm so close to getting this freaking engine out but I can't get the bolts out of the engine mounts. The combination of them being torqued too much and in too dificult a spot to get to is making it impossible to get them out. I tried using a breaker bar and a u-joint socket extension through...

So i'm new to the supra community. I just bought an 87 turbo and upon first starting it up there was immediately a knocking sound. I was with my friend's dad at the time and his friend who was convinced it was rod knock. I felt otherwise because the sound was not there when I heard the engine...
