my 1st choice was obviously to get another MARK III Supra & had found one in decent condition for $1,000. however, under further investigation i had also found a VW Scirocco & a Pontiac Fiero for around that price range also & had heard good things about those cars as well. so i guess my...

managed to find one at a good price so decided to go through with it. the car has nearly 200K miles on it but was informed that the engine had been replaced about 20k miles ago(no receipt for it so was just 'word of mouth'), has some big ol' 3rd party "Injen" intake on it, 3rd party exhaust...

Does anyone know of any good junk yards in San Diego county? (preferably North County) Have gone to Ecology Auto Parts in Oceanside, CA and didn't really find much at all as far as the 89-92 Mark III's go. Been looking to get various interior parts & hoping to just find em locally off of a...

I recently had a low-mileage 7M-GE JDM motor installed into my 89 (non-turbo) Supra. Evidentially, i need a new EGR Temp Sensor/Connector as the one currently in my car is a JPN one that does not meet up to US-CA smog requirements. The "check engine" light now comes on whenever i startup the car...

I made a topic about this situation a few weeks ago in another section of the forums but have decided to post this one here. Basically, about 2 weeks ago my car seemed to 'break down' while i was driving on the freeway & had it towed. Took it to a Toyota dealership near me(Toyota Carlsbad -...

Well, it seems the person who owned this car before i did never bothered to replace the windshield wipers(ever from the looks of it) & there are all these scratches on the windshield from the old worn out wipers. it's not bad enough that i think i'd actually need to replace the windshield, but...

i figure 17" would be a good size.. not sure if 18" is too big or not. anyway, what sort of dimensions/specs should i look for for both the wheels & tires needed?

I went to SOE(Sony) today in Miramar(San Diego, CA) for a job interview. Firstly, in the parking lot there were alot of modified Civic's & Celica's & i noticed in one corner there were 2 Supra's next to each other(MIV's), an RX-7, and a BMW M5.. (i guess that was the big boy corner). anyway...

so anyway, the picture alone isn't really all that funny.. but this guy... he used to work at a GOLD'S GYM in downtown Oceanside. i remember him very well because whenever i went in there he would be blasting "I was made for loving you" by KISS. so imagine him in a tanktop & shorts(hair still...

so it was due for a new timing belt & also been having this problem getting the car started. like if i don't use the car for a day/few days.. or sometimes it'll happen the same day if it's been a really long time in-between usage(like early morning & then not using the car again till the...

Well my first thing is that i'd at some point like to swap the 7M-GE engine in my current Supra with a 2JZ-GTE (I have an 89 MarkIII NA)... are there complications in doing so? Also, is it possible to put a 2JZ-GTE into an AE86? what about an 83-85 Celica GT-S ? thanks for any responses!

So anyway, my 2nd to last car was a 'modified' Eclipse, then i had a 'heavily modified' Civic, and have now finally switched to a Supra. All these years though my sister has never cared for cars and always had some big ass SUV/Truck. Well, the other day was her birthday so i called to wish her a...

have carbon fiber mirrors & a carbon fiber hood on a white 89 NA? i was talking to some guy at a local auto customization store & he was all "it'd look like patchwork. you'd have to paint the car.. blah blah blah' maybe then i should just paint different parts of the car different colors...

I know this may seem like an odd topic, but i just had to say something because of how pleased i am. Basically, i've been into sports cars for some time now. Have had a "modified" Civic & a "modified" Eclipse before and didn't exactly fit too comfortably in either car. I couldn't even get in the...

Hello everyone, When i bought my Supra i guess i didn't inspect it carefully enough.. i mean, for it's age(89) there were minor rust spots here & there.. but i was cleaning up the car recently & decided to remove the spare tire in back and i was shocked.. it was basically rust city under that...

I have an 89 Supra & most of the time when i try starting the car it'll take multiple attempts before it starts up(usually i have to give it a bit of gas before turning the key)... although once i've gotten it up & going, the whole rest of the day anytime i try turning on the car it kicks in...

just wanted to say hi! i'm new to the whole Supra scene. remembered a friend of mine who used to have an old Supra & thought it was a great car & now i've got one myself... unfortunately though, i didn't have much money available at the time & the only decent Supra i found was an 89 non-turbo in...
