    I am at the point that i think all N/A supra guys have been to at some point

    Just an update on my mental status hahahah, i have a serious buyer coming out friday night. If this dude hands me the cash, im done with the car. If it doesn't sell, i am going to keep it and do what i have planned for now (Not sure about doing swap stuff yet though). Thanks again for the help guys.

    I am at the point that i think all N/A supra guys have been to at some point

    That's a good point. I think the other part of the issue is i am brand new to this. So really, i would feel TERIBLE about putting together a 7M or a 1JZ and forgetting something small, and it blowing up.

    I am at the point that i think all N/A supra guys have been to at some point

    Oh, i will add that. Its 137K. And yes, i might do a swap, it just seems like a lot of time buying parts and bits from people you cant really trust.

    I am at the point that i think all N/A supra guys have been to at some point

    Supra guys, I think i have finally reached my "breaking point". Allow me to explain. I have owned my supra for about a year and half now, and like the description, its N/A. Its a great car, fun to drive, and im completely in love with it, but i am sick of having 190 HP in a 4000 pound...

    Gas Petal Question

    The other supra i drove, (emilio's) was that GTE auto blue one. But he even said that my petal was pretty stiff when he drove it. Something like "Its like pushing down a tennis ball"

    Gas Petal Question

    Hey guys. Quick question. Noticed that my gas petal is pretty hard to push down. I drove a different MKIII and noticed it pushed in like a hot knife through butter. Is there any way i can adjust the feel of it, or anything i should check for to make sure something isnt wrong. Thanks...

    GE to GTE questions.

    I am just going to stay at stock levels of HP for the time being. Nothing crazy for at least like the first year or so, so i will stick with my W58. And yes, the glory of buying a 7M-GTE would be it would already be out of the car, so i could have the head professionally cleaned and gasket-ed...

    GE to GTE questions.

    Hello, i could not find a thread about some general questions about doing the swap, so here i am. My current state is 7M-GE everything is OEM. '88 5 speed. I talked to a few people and it sounds like going NA-T is a really bad idea considering how much GTE engines have come down in price...

    A lot has changed since I've been involved with the Supra community.

    I agree. I hope we see the transition from "Crazy sports car because the supra name was in the fast and furious" to beautiful, fun to drive classic cruising car. In which some that can do 10 sec 1/4 miles lol.

    A lot has changed since I've been involved with the Supra community.

    I think the problem is that Supra's are right in between "Sweet fast sports cars" and "Cool looking classic cars". So if you're a guy, with a slow one, in good condition. (Me) You want to Mod it and make it faster. And it seems like the guys who did Mod theirs, cant stop looking back at Stock...

    Kustom Carbon fiber mkIII parts working on, b pillars, dash, door switches, and more

    Timing cover would be awesome. Have you looked into doing the door handle pieces? (The pillar looking ones on the inside)

    Oil and Oil filter. What do you use?

    I use my car as a cruising car, and a daily driver during the summer. I put a ton of miles on it last season though, so im looking for something thats going to keep it running strong.

    Oil and Oil filter. What do you use?

    Thanks for the feedback guys, i think I'll go with the GTX High mileage and a wix oil filter. And as far as the leaking goes, i would honestly rather it leak with synthetic blend and replace whats leaking, then to just trickle leak now and not have me find out until something blows up. Im not...

    Did you have any issues when you switched from conventional oil?

    Oil and Oil filter. What do you use?

    I have been using 10w - 30 conventional, but have seen a few threads about going to full synthetic. Any pro's/Cons in running Full Synthetic? Depending on your answer to the previous question, what oil and filter do you use? Car/engine info. 88 N/A 7MGE 133k Miles. Never had synthetic before...

    Run in with the law and my concealed gun...

    I would have just said "Would you like me to step out of my car so you can retrieve the handgun"? There is NO WAY i would have touched a loaded handgun with a cop at my window. In MN you only have to say something if you are concealing it and he asks you.
