    A Military Career and Supra ownership

    Which V8 for the MKIII?

    First off if this topic has been discussed to death just delete this thread. Won't bother me. Secondly I have always disliked the idea of putting anything but the 7m, 1jz, or 2jz in our cars but I know plenty of people love the added displacement of a V8. My question is why do guys go for...

    Reasonable RWHP goals on a TT 1jz-gte MKIII?

    Since I'll be separating with my 88 Supra Turbo soon my next goal is that on my next MKIII Turbo I want to do a 1jz swap. I plan to go with the cheaper TT 1JZ over the VVT-I as much for cost as the fact that I have always wanted a twin turboed car. What is a reasonable and easy power goal for...

    Electrical System and Idle issues

    I'm not sure if the two are connected but they seem to be. This started a couple weeks ago. I stalled my car out, because no matter how experienced you get on a 5-speed there are those times when it happens. After that all electrical systems to the car were gone. Nothing came on when I turned...

    Price on a 92 MKIII?

    I currently have an 88 Supra Turbo and was considering selling it to my roommate for 3k or 3.5k after I get the AC, heat, and cosmetic issues taken care of. Shouldn't take more than 500 for that stuff. Maybe 7. Well I know a guy here that wants to sell his 92 Supra Turbo and he's asking 5500...

    Cops love our cars

    I just got pulled over for a cover over my tag. If I'd been driving a Mini Van or some white sedan the cops wouldn't have given me a moment's notice. I just thought I'd start this thread so we can all share stories of being pulled over almost completely because of the car we drive.

    Odd Idle Issue

    I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue as me and what the problem was. When I'm accelerating hard and then let off suddenly and put the car into neutral the idle drops to almost 200 rpms, barely keeping from dieing. It doesn't always do this so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    Twin Turbo 7m?

    Since the first moment I got my Supra I've dreamed of one day replacing the single turbo with a TT set up. Does any company make a turbo upgrade kit for that desire?

    A good Daily Driver?

    I have an 88 Supra Turbo that is my DD right now and I am not liking it lol. Uses too much gas and I bought it for a project before a couple idiotic family members took my other car without my permission and blew the engine up in it. How much better is an n/a MK3 on gas and just as a DD all...

    From ruined OEM to Aftermarket Bliss- A Suspension Story

    Well guys I have been driving around a horribly blown OEM suspension since I purchased my car around 6 months ago. Yesterday and today I got my Tokico blue struts and eibach pro-kit springs respectively. And it was today that my friend and I began the amazing fun of installing it. With a bit of...

    Suspension on 1988 Supra Turbo is Blown. Advice?

    So I was told by a friend to save up about 1.5k and go for an entire suspension system replacement. But I asked another friend, who's pretty huge into cars and she said that since my springs aren't cut that I'd be fine with just replacing the struts/shocks. I found these online and at around...

    Power etstimation on my 7m-gte?

    I've only owned it for 5 months or so and I'm no expert on cars but I've fallen in love. The car came with a few upgrades already on it and the engine supposedly on has 50k or less miles on it according to the previous owner. I will say the engine runs strong and I've never had a problem out of...
