    We finished our first Chumpcar race(s)!!

    Amazingly enough, the #32 Supra "Shamu" took the checker flag both days of the CCWS double 7 hour race at Atlanta Motorsports Park this past weekend. We only had 1 mechanical when the battery box came loose with 1 hour to go on Sunday, causing the battery to fall over into the spare tire well...

    Intermittent blue smoke

    This is a repost of one I made in on the Chump Car Foum, as I am building a 1989 Supra (7M-GE) as a Chump Car endurance racer. I could use some help from you experienced Toyota guys. I have been spending all of my time on the body, chassis, suspension and brakes, as the engine seemed fine...

    cover, front spoiler

    That's what they call it on Toyotapartsoverstock, # 7685114030. I would have called it a chin spoiler or lip spoiler, myself. Anyway, my car doesn't have one. It does have the other parts, including the rather mangled ironmongery that I think was used to attach the "thing". This is the...

Yesterday I pulled the OEM steering wheel, the horn ring, and the electric controls plate........and that's as far as I got. Looking at it, it's not intuitive...

    Need stock downpipe for 89 NA Supra

    I need the part that bolts to the stock exhaust manifold, I guess it's the downpipe. I am having absolutely no luck finding one online. Walker 54551 looks like it would work but every parts store says NLA. Anybody have a source for this or another one that will work? Or would a custom exhaust...

    I had to kill it in order to save it............

    Well, it's not exactly dead, but it sure looks sick now, after I gutted the interior. Still some more to go. It will be reborn as a race car. Cannot anyone identify this small thing that looks like it should have a vacuum hose attached? It's on the passenger side firewall. Is this...

    This is my new project

    Hi all I'm looking forward to building my new project, a ChumpCar racer, based on this 1989 Supra. Once it warms up a bit. :) First thing is to get it home; right now it is stashed at work. Once I get track car finished and out of the way, the Supra can be trailered home and put up on...
