    Mysterious leak

    The color is more yellowish. It looks and feels thicker than coolant, but not as dark as motor oil. It's very strange.

    Mysterious leak

    Yeah, it's real slippery and oily to the feel but it almost drys up completely over several days. My car is the 7MGTE and it also has the splash guard under the engine. I thought that it might be leaking from anywhere and just flowing across the splash guard until it found the nearest exit...

    Mysterious leak

    Guys and Gals, I'm only moderately mechanically inclined and tend to research things until I thoroughly understand them or I forego the instructions and just tear into whatever I want to do. My Supra has been leaking from the engine bay on the passenger side almost directly under where the...

    Tems springs for non tems shocks

    LOL! I'm an originalist. I'm working to have a car that is going to be as nice and clean and stock as the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I'm not a street racer, but it's a fast car as is and I also want the dependability. I've rode in cars with the modded suspensions and they...

    Tems springs for non tems shocks

    I like the feel and ride of my stock springs, but they are seriously rusty. I recently bought a set of stock TEMS springs and shocks from another member thinking that I was going to be able to do a quick mod to make my car TEMS enabled because I had the TEMS harness in the front of the car and...

    Rusty springs

    Thanks. I replaced the rear shocks with KYB-GR2's and I purchased a set of springs that look a lot better than mine from another member on here. I'm just waiting for them to come in. They are also TEMS and since my car already had the harness for it I've decided to try them out. BTW...

    Front door speaker, door panel, removal and replacement.

    Nice post. I getting ready to replace the front speakers tomorrow. Hopefully, the clips won't break. Thanks.

    Gas tank door

    Just be careful not to over tighten the screws when you put them back in. Trust me, they'll strip easy. Good luck.

    Gas tank door

    Thanks exactly the kind of information and advice I was looking for. I thought something was missing, but I can't find a picture of it anywhere and I've tried to fabricate something on my own but I'm not sure of the dimensions or placement. If you could send a picture that would be great! My...

    Gas tank door

    Guys and Gals, I've tried searching the forums but either I'm not wording my search correctly or this issue hasn't been addressed. So, my problem was that my latch was broken and I've replaced the latch and there is plenty of cable to fully retract the catch when the lever by the driver's seat...

    Hit the mid-life crisis

    Thanks for the salute, it really means alot to us. I saw your post about replacing and improving the clarity of the interior lights so I started taking apart my dash the other day and didn't have the right type of lights but I just wanted to make sure I could take it apart and put it back...

    Thanks bro. Military housing is a sweet deal and I've got about 2 years left before I retire out and get my own place. How long were you in?

    Hit the mid-life crisis

    Thanks for the reply. Your ride is very sweet! I read your post that's hyperlinked and you sound alot like me in that we were both too young to be able to afford this type of car in the early 90's and probably wouldn't have taken care of it the way we should have back then. Anyway, I'm on a...

    R.I./Mass. Supras

    Hey guys, I'm a new owner but long time enthusiast. I live in Middletown, RI, and mine is currently on the road. I'd like to meet up if anyone is interested. Also, I've got access to a nice garage with lifts and all kinds of tools but it's not open on Sundays or Mondays. I'm usually there on...

    Thanks for the help!

    I tried to post a question in the Suspension section yesterday, but it stated that the post needed to be approved by the moderator before it would show up. Anyway, long story short, I took my car to PepBoys last Saturday (What a Mistake) to have my rear struts changed out. After having my car...

    Hit the mid-life crisis

    Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. There will probably be some mild mods, but nothing major. I'm really going to focus on making it clean first.

    Nothing special under the hood except a clean stock engine.

    Rusty springs

    Hey guys, I just made my intro and posted some pics of my supra a little while ago under the Introductions section. I've done a couple minor fixes to the car, but it definitely needs new rear struts. It's a 1990 Turbo Targa with a 5 speed and without TEMS. I bought some KYB GR-2 Struts for...
