Pulled the head last week in anticipation to replace the head gasket (again, just replaced it back in November 2008) and the shop told me that the head had "stuff" in it, which means the engine has stuff in it too! I would have to have the entire engine rebuilt and it just is not in my budget...

One problem with owning a 89 Supra N/A that has over 200K, is that there is never an end to having to fix/replace things! :aigo: My saga started about three years ago now when I took ownership of said car from my son, knowing I needed to replace the engine. :nono: That only took about 9...

After putting a JDM engine in my Supra almost two years ago and ignoring the advise of replacing the headgasket anytime you put a JDM in, I finally got around to doing the work this last week. It took over one year for me to get to the point where I realized that I had a BHG, since I had a...

Morning all! I still haven't been able to drive the Supra around too much because of the fact it hasn't had any heat. Well yesterday I decided to try running some coolant system cleaner through it and see if maybe the heater core was plugged. to make a long story short, the heater core was...

I have one (youngest) son wanting a Supra and the other, wanting to buy back my Supra. :aigo: I found a 89 N/A in Craig's List for $1,400 and it has a slight miss and pumping out white smoke. Sounds like a ::bhg:: to me! I talked the guy today about it and I'm going to see it Thursday...

Let's see, last time I had just dumped out 1/2 gallon of trany fluid that was over-filled and replaced the short speedometer 90 degree cable. And it was running great! ::w00t:: My 18 yr old son drove the Supra to work and called me, the short speedometer 90 degree cable broke again and the...

Well, I had the Supra running just great and my #5 son decided to waste his car's engine (seems someone, like me :icon_redf forgot to tell him to watch the oil level) so I "loaned" him the Supra to drive back and forth to work! He calls me from work to tell me the tranny isn't shifting...

I have had several issues with my 89 Supra since putting a JDM engine and transmission in back in December/January. In March, my son was driving it and it melted a hole in the large airflow tube between the AFM and the throttle body. He took it to a "Toyota Specialist" in Temecula and they...

Hi Guys, After getting the other problem resolved (but not totally fixed yet), I'm now looking at the tranny not shifting out of 1st issue. The first thing I did was, remembered reading about the codes that "Mister Cripsy" had sent me to. The second thing I did was I opened my manual (since...

I haven't posted much here, but I'm still dealing with trying to get my 89 Supra on the road. Back in March my son (was buying it from me) drove the car down to San Diego. When he got off the freeway, the car wouldn't idle. If you kept the revs about 1300, you could keep it from dieing on you. I...

Hi all, I have an '89 Supra N/A, that just before buying it 3 years ago, the previous owner had the engine rebuilt (badly I might add), so after parking in the driveway last May, I bought an JDM engine for it and had one of my sons install it for me over Christmas holidays. Once we got the...
