    Climate control modules between model years

    The climate control module on my 87 lost it's low fan switch and the button faces are all chewed up and wrinkled. If I swap out to a newer years eg 1990 module is it still plug and play?

    Coolant Reservoir Options

    In the process of bringing my 87 out of winter hibernation I cracked the nipple on the coolant reservoir cap. Now it just sucks air and won't draw coolant back into the block when it cools down. Local Toyota dealership has the part listed as no longer available and asking at other parts stores...

    Broken Heater Union Banjo Bolts

    Two weeks ago my 87 7MGE blew its head gasket and I’ve been taking my time to do things right. This morning I was going to pull the heater union to check its condition and replace the crush washers before dropping the head onto the block. For future reference for others the book says you will...

    BHG block indentations

    Last weekend I suffered the dreaded BHG in my 87 –GE. For the last 3 months I’ve had the mystery of where did the coolant go, usually just a cup or so that was missing from the reservoir. It had the occasional waterfall sound behind the dash but the temps were always stable until last week. On...

    All Season Tires

    Now that fall has begun it is time for some new tires. With Goodyear HP’s on the front and nearly bald Eagle GT’s on the rear I was hanging out the back in the wet far too easily. My Supra is a daily driver/freeway queen so I was looking for high performance all season tires with a focus on wet...

    Flowmaster exhaust

    Recently I went to a local exhaust shop looking to fab up a custom exhaust for my 87 NA AT. I went with the managers recommendation (my first mistake!) and they ran 2.5” pipe from the cat flange back to a glasspack, then back to a Flowmaster 40 delta 3” in 2x2.5” out muffler #430402. They...

    Portland area transmission shops

    What is the best shop in the Portland/Vancouver area to have my auto transmission worked on? I’ve got kickdown problems, slipping, erratic shifts, long story short…it’s hammered. I’m looking for a shop that will get it done right. Any recommendations?

    Howdy folks

    Hello everyone, There is something about the MkIII Supras that I can’t get away from. Maybe it’s the styling, maybe it’s the speed….or maybe it’s just that I love the smell of brake cleaner in the morning. As of two weeks ago, I became a second time Supra owner. I bought an 87 hardtop...
