I was at home depot buying some paint for the house and saw a can a paint stripper and thought what the hell. Might as well try this until I get some wheels. Couldn't look any worse than what it looked like before. It was very simple and straight forward. Spray, rinse, repeat. I used just...

I purchased a reman A/C Compressor from RockAuto and it doesn't fit properly. The clutch pulley doesn't line up with the idler and crank pulley. Its about a 1/4 inch off. It shredded my belt. I am wondering if there is a different bracket for later model years that will allign it properly...

My car hates me!! haha. So I rescued this car about a year and a half ago from somones garage. It hadn't run in about 7 yrs. Story was that it had the head gasket replaced and then parked because it wasn't running right. So I got it running pretty decently and have been daily driving it...

Just ran across these wheels and thought they looked good. i didn't know the 006 came in gold and with only 5 holes and not the uni-bolt pattern. I think they look pretty good. What do you think? I was thinking of getting some used wheels off RBWheels or Memoryfab. Maybe some Work...

Anybody know where they sell 7/16 exhaust studs like the ones Drift Motion sells? I ordred a set and helicoiled my head, but I screwed up one of the studs. I need another one. I checked the local auto parts stores, but they don't have any.

I just installed some new Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs on my 88 Supra and i'm a little dissappointed so far. First impressions are not that great. First of all my stock TEMs were so blown that I could compress them by hand with little effort and they wouldn't un-compress! So I...

Just got some new Eibach's from shox.com and its pretty obvious which are the front and how they go, But the logo is upside down on the fronts.

Been doing some more boost leak testing, blocking off different areas and testing different sections. Did it with between the compressor housing and before the throttle boddy with the BPV on and noticed that the BPV was not holding a lot of PSI. Maybe > 2-3psi. I can't blow through it but...

Looking for someone with an extra Coil Pack, Ignitor, or AFM to test with. Trying to trace down some issues and I would hate to have to buy a bunch of parts that I might not need.

I've been trying to get my car running right. I've never felt full boost! :3d_frown: I have fixed a ton of things on this Supra. After I swapped in a 5spd I tried to push it and it just fell on its face. Did a boost leak test and found the intercooler pipes were all busted. Installed a...

Just trying to understand what it feels like and what would happen if the wastegate is opening to soon.

Been trying to track down all of the boost leaks in my 88 turbo. So far i've replaced intercooler pipes, accordian hose, vacuum hoses, and tightend loose lower/upper intake bolts. This thing had a bunch of leaks. And still does. I need to replace my ISCV gasket. But I also think...

I just installed my cxracing intercooler kit for the 7MGTE and was excited to finally feel full boost and get above 4K RPMs but as I was putting everything back together I noticed my accordian hose had a crack near the turbo! :3d_frown: Now of course its still cutting out at high RPMs and...

Just finished swapping out my auto for a w58 on my 88 turbo and...WOW what a difference. My torque converter must have been stealing a lot of power before it died on me. Feels like a different car. I topped off the swap with new shifter bushings and it shifts nice and smooth. The only thing...

What size are the exhaust studs on the turbo elbow. I want to replace mine. The nut is seized on two of them and causes it to leak.

I'm swapping my Auto tranny to W58 in my 88 Supra Tubro and my crossmember isn't lining up. Is there a difference in crossmembers between the auto and w58?

Just wondering what the going rate is to get a stock flywheel resurfaced. I've gotten 2 quotes in my area. $75 and $65. Seems a little high. But I haven't had one done in about 15 years. If anyone knows of a good place in North Houston Spring area let me know.

My Supra 88 Supra Turbo Auto recently started making some nasty rattling noise when cold during warm up. It only happens when it revs up over 1500 rpms. And it sounds really nasty when you rev it more than that. Once it gets to normal operating temps it goes away. At first I thought it was...

Ever since I got my Supra running I could hear some grinding coming from the rear of the car. First I thought it was the brakes, but I got the master cylinder fixed and they are not sticking. I put the rear on jacks and put it in drive and its definately coming from the Differential. I can...

I have a question about my TEMS on my 88 Supra Turbo. I know that my shocks are pretty blown and want to eventually swap them out with something better. Not sure which way I want to go yet. But for now I was wondering why my TEMS does not stay on the Sport setting. It will light up on...
