    94 Supra Scam Alert

    So.... after an interesting thread about a 94 Turbo Supra that was way too good to be true, http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116042, I thought I should post the details of this scam so if anyone else finds this Supra they can be aware of it.... I first found a "1994 Turbo...

    Looking at a 94 Supra - Advice Please!

    I recently found a 1994 Targa Supra upgraded to a T66 single-turbo for sale and I'm hoping to look at it this weekend. Here's the thing though: the seller is asking almost nothing for it: $3300 firm. It has 74500 kms on it, a whole pile of mods to complement the T66, and apparently is in...

    1G-GTE Owners Unite! Experiences and Feedback, Please

    I've noticed that we've got a few members on the forum here - some new, some not - that have the 1G-GTEU, and I've come across a few posts about it. I would probably be too late to jump into any of those discussions, so I thought a new one here might be helpful. I just copy/pasted my reply...

    Oil change PITA!!

    I changed the oil for the 1G yesterday. I was all excited because I found a local dealer that sells Wix filters for not tonnes of dollars (in my small town of 5000 that surprised me). Drain the oil no problem, dig out my shiny new Wix and get psyched to put it in.... DAMN TO THE DEPTHS THE...

    Rear shocks bouncing, bottoming out, weird noises

    I think my rear shocks are done (feel free to correct me on my verbiage if I'm using the wrong terms). I can feel the back end bottoming out over train-tracks and potholes, and cornering is very sketchy, especially on bad roads and wash-board. And in general it feels like I'm riding a pogo...

    Sloppy trans, loose shifter

    Sunday I drove to Kelowna and back (about two hours each way) to go see my Mom. Almost as soon as I get into Kelowna first and second gear are so mushy that I can get them to engage only by wiggling the stick and then pushing down at an odd angle. Soon after third gear was almost as bad. It...

    Fixing a Month-Long Blonde Moment

    I finally hit upon an epiphany today that took 6 weeks too long to figure out. Took a couple weeks to get used to the little weirdisms that come along with a new (to me) car and finally started noticing stuff. 1) The car liked to shimmy in the back end whenever I hit a rut or bad road-worm...

    1G Wires and Filters and Belts

    Alright, I type like I talk (too much), so grab a beverage and settle in... :beer: This is for the 1G and GZ20 guys out there. Well, this is for anyone with something intelligent to contribute.:icon_bigg (Please, spare me the 7M/1JZ swap tripe. I'll worry about that in the future if the 1G...

    Removing Rear Speaker Covers

    This morning, having a Supra and not being able to drive it was getting to me so I decided to investigate my speakers a little. I was able to remove the door speaker covers with no problems, but when I got to the mid-rear covers I experienced the dreaded "Snap! Crap!" sensation. :cry: I am...

    Anyone Ever Pulled Over in a RHD?

    As we all know, getting pulled over by the cops sucks. HARD. Whether or not we've done something wrong, we always have to try and play the courtesy card; as they say "you only get one chance to make a good first impression". We also know cops tend to hate being embarrassed. Anyways (yes...

    Finally, Pictures

    I finally had a chance to get some pictures on here (just finally got the 'net at my place). I apologize if these should have been in the Gallery section, but I didn't think I warranted that privelege just yet. She looks a little rough, as I unloaded her off the trailer about twenty...

    Excited New Guy

    Hi, my name is Ash and I live in Southern BC, Canada. After years of pining after a Supra I have finally bought one. I am now the pround owner of a JDM 1990 2.0L twin turbo, RHD. She's white, with a factory widebody, lowered on Potenza dampers over 17" Boost-R wheels, and has a Fujitsubo Jasma...
