Hi guys! So, I have a problem with my '87. I went to get gas today (thankfully close to home). I pulled up on the gas lever, and the door wouldn't open. I pulled the hell out of it, jiggled it, yanked and applied steady pressure- I even got someone to hold a key prying up on the door while I...

Hi guys! So, I've got a bunch of additional restoration work to do on my '87, but I'm running into a few snags. My Supra has blue interior, and most of it looks like the previous owner took a rake to it. The interior door panels are chewed up, the dash is cracked... About the only part...

Hey guys, I need some new tires. I seriously need new tires. I was going to try to wait it out until my next paycheck (and Christmas), but the driver's side rear has developed a leak in the side wall. ...I don't think I could wait it out that long. Basically, I'm looking for some...

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my head gasket job. I can't get the "Air Intake Chamber" to come off the side of the engine! Following the TSRM, it says I have to "remove the two nuts, 5 bolts, vacuum transmitting pipes, and intake chamber with connector and gasket". Well, I...

Hey guys! So after getting my Supra for $1,700 a while back, the head gasket finally blew. Originally, I was going to strip the thing apart and build it back up again from the ground up, but a few financial issues came up, and I've been too distracted to put together a parts list, and too...

EDIT: Culprit found to be Radiator cap. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=652690&postcount=28 --------------------------------------------------------- Hey guys. I've been doing a lot of lurking, as with my new work schedule, I haven't had an honest day off in over two weeks-...

Alright, I'm completely out of ideas, and I need help. I've never owned a car with forced induction before, so most of this is completely new to me. I cannot comprehend what would cause this to happen, and what I do not understand I can only dream of fixing. Currently, when I drive my...

Hiya! So, interesting problem with my Supra that's got me laughing. First some history: When I first bought the car, the in dash tail light indicator light was on constantly, but all the tail lights seemed to function properly. In another thread, I was told this was likely because I had...

And here I am again! My next project involves replacing all the hoses (many of which are cracked open or just plain broken and currently held on with gaffer tape)- specifically the ones off the turbo. Is there a hose "kit" anywhere that one could purchase to replace all of them at the same...

Hey guys! I was tearing up Hwy 9 out in the mountains the night before last to see what my new Supra could do. It was fantastic- except when I was taking left hairpin turns at between double and triple the "recommended speed", I noticed my coolant light (birdcage wtf?) came on. It only...

Hi there! I just purchased a 1987 Turbo Targa top with 265,00 miles on it ( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37903 ), and it's doing three things that I may have nailed down, but I thought I'd ask the experts before looking deeper. When driving it home, I noticed it would...

I found a posting on Craigslist a few days ago for a 1987 Turbo Targa with 265,000 miles, some minor body damage that "runs good" for $1,700. Skeptical, I talked to the owner over email for a bit, and found that he was given the car for free, and didn't have the time or money to dedicate to...

Hi there! I'm Solei, and I've been in love with the Supra since I first laid eyes on the Mark II Celica Supra back when I was very young. Back then, I lived in Minnesota, and up until just recently, I've remained in the northern portions of America (Mankato MN, Minneapolis MN, Toronto ON, and...
