Howdy Folks, Just a bit of a story before I explain my issue. I was cruising on my way home from work, listening to the "Puff the Magic Dragon" theme-song (don't ask me why it's on my playlist), and I came to a red light behind this shiny black pickup truck. Said truck was so shiny, I...

The local RCMP were nice enough to take a fine photo of my Supra, for the low, low price of $80! They even got my 'Guy Fawkes' mask in the shot, too! ;) Disclaimer: 80km/h in a 70km/h zone, unfortunately, which isn't much; and I wasn't doing this on purpose. Speeding is bad, don't...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJmUJU_Sths (Skip to 1:30 for example sound). So I started noticing this recently; the only thing that has changed is that I've actually been using my Supra more, and the weather has been warming up. I've been hearing a squealing sound coming from somewhere under...

Alright, so I had my lovely car parked and plugged in, all "tucked-in" for a warm winter night. I headed off to bed at around 2am and settled down for a nice, uninterrupted ten-hour slumber. When suddenly, not a few hours later (5am), my Father BURSTS into my room...

Howdy all, During a recent adventure in my beloved '89 Supra, I encountered a peculiar problem that I am trying to diagnose. I was cresting a hill and slowing down for a four-way-stop when all of a sudden my car... died. The first thing that happened in my eyes was the power-steering went...

I'm looking to get a new battery for my Supra. My last one has gone dead for the last time -- I think it may be faulty -- as it had been sitting for a few years with the vehicle before I bought it off of the previous owner. Is there any specific information that I require to present to a...

So I was downtown in my small town to go pick up a parcel from the Courier's office. Let me start by saying that the weather here has been below zero for a few months. (I live in Northern Alberta, Canada) - so we have quite a lot of snow. (And ice!) I was at a 4-way stop - and after...

So I was on the market for a 100% Carbon fiber taga top for my '89 Supra. I found this listing on eBay and contacted the seller. I asked the seller if it was 100% Carbon fiber -- or just Carbon-fiber with fiberglass backing. He said it was the latter, but then offered to make me the former...

Howdy everyone, I'm on the slow, costly road of upgrading my Supra. I think I may start with a new air filter, as mine is still OEM and who-knows-how-old. I was leaning towards the K&N at first, but I did a quick search on this forum (gasp) and found out it was rubbish. Now I'm looking at...

Hello from chilly northern Alberta, Canada -- where we have a beautiful three months of summer! The point of this thread is me asking for tips/suggestions regarding winter driving in a Supra. (And I won't take, "don't" for an answer -- it's my only vehicle). So, 3.0L straight 6 turbo, rear...

I just thought I'd share with you guys my setup for the fog lights installed on my '89 Mark III. When I purchased this vehicle from the previous owner, he said, "Yeah, the stock fog lights were cracked-" I interjected, "Oh well, fog lights are cheap. I'll just replace them, no biggie." He...

Is it just me, or is this a Supra thing... I have an automatic Mark III, 7M-GTE. When I hammer the gas, the pick-up seems very sluggish. Don't get me wrong, when it's rolling it picks up speed very, very quickly. Keep in mind that I'm in the "Economy" mode on my ECT transmission. Should...

Hello all, Let me first say that I'm no street racer. I just want a nice-looking vehicle that can ferry me efficiently from point A to point B. But in my city, if you have a nice car - other ass-hats will rev their little motors out of their engine bays at you at stoplights! So the story goes...

It was replaced a few years ago. It seems to "hang" a little low. Ant thoughts? Is it OEM/Stock? Thanks for your time, Suitcase Pictures: ---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ---------- OMG! I forgot the YouTube video...

Hello all, I've recently joined this very helpful community and met lots of friendly and knowledgeable people. I Love driving my Supra, but hate how I discovered a scratch on it! So I went researching online and found a quick fix: "Quixx" paint-scratch repair -- it's so classy that they sell...

Howdy folks, I have a stock, untouched (except for new fog lights) '89 Supra MKIII with Targa. One day, I was trying to get that pesky Targa off by myself, and was having lots of troubles. Not that it's heavy, it's just very awkward for me. So I had the idea that carbon fiber would not...

I'm not a fan of my burgundy interior on my 1989 Mark III... so I bought some decent-ish seat covers and installed them, but I'm not sure if it matches quite right or looks good. I like them... but what are your opinions? Here's what the original seat looked like...

Hello everybody, Good to be here. Looks like quite the nice place! In my possession I have a 1989, unmolested Supra Mark III with the 7M-GTE I6 engine. This is my second car -- I upgraded from a 1988 Pontiac Tempest (Ick). My previous car was so slow, I had to add racing numbers on the...
