Thanks for the feedback guys! The only problem I see with checking codes that way......becuase the interior is stripped out and the dash consists of 4 or 5 racing guages we no longer have check engine light to reference. I think we are to the point of taking it into a mechanic that works on...

As mentioned above, the car will start and run briefly so I would say yes to spark and fuel. When we pinch the fuel return line the pressure spikes to about 65+ psi. Yes its a stock ECU but we don't have a scanner to check codes. Not exactly sure how to prime a fuel injected motor. Can you...

OK, I have to preface this question/discussion with some background; we purchased an ’88 supra/ 7mgte about a year ago as a budget racer with the intent of running chump car or lemons series road races. The previous owner had already done the lion share of the work… (car had been stripped down...

So, our budget racer started leaking some coolant on the floor, which, upon first glance, appeared to be coming from the water pump. However, after tearing into her, installing a new water pump, and putting everything back together... more leaking. Once again, we took everything apart to get...

My buddies and I own a budget '88 MK3 track car. The car is used only for endurance races (6-8 hours) on a flat 2.15 mile course with 13 turns. When we bought the car it had stock springs but upgraded shocks. The handling really left something to be desired. We were able to find a set of...

Considering none of our group had ever raced before we were happy just finishing the race. As an added bonus we even beat a team! This car was purchased for lemons/chump car racing but in this race we were going against spec miata's, an MR2 and a quick sentra. Considering the fact we spend...

I have gotten a couple request for pics of our budget racer. She was white when we picked her up but decided to go gun metal and black in order to make her our own. One 8 hour race started one 8 hour race finished! With 4 rookie drivers we are calling that a win.

Van, From my limited research I would agree that RSR racing springs and KYB GR2's are a good setup. Only problem......I can't find RSR's anywhere! Some vendors still have them shown online but when I try to buy them I get an out of stock notice. Aparently they haven't been made since about...

And all glass has been removed and the batter has been moved to the rear next to the fuel cell. Interior has been GUTTED with only a cage, racing seat, detachable steering wheel and gauges/switches.

I (we) really appreciate all the feedback. As a quick recap, we purchased this Supra to run Lemons races but have since decided to just run local 8 hour endurance races instead. We have one under our belts and it was a blast. Our goal was to finish which we did. Weak link is our ability but...

Looks like 255/45/16's are tough to find. Tirerack.com does have some 245/45/16's but all are $200+ per tire and I'm not sure we want to spend almost a grand for an 8 hour race. For us its more about the experience and having fun that taking home 1st place. I think we will go with a...

Wow thanks for the quick responses! The car does have a full roll cage and EBC red brake pads with ducting. I don't think we are ready to spend the money on a set of good coilovers so we will probably go with the H&R springs with either Koni Yellows or KYB's. I like the idea of the RX-7...

A group of friends purchased a 1988 Supra built for Lemons/Chump Car racing. We recently found out that neither series will be racing near us in 2013 and we really don't want to keep up with all the rule changes so we have decided to run in local 8 hour endurance races. Local track is a flat...
