    elecrticity, how i hate thee

    Ok so I did a search and didn't come up with a diffinitive answer on all the issues that I am having. I have a VERY stock 87 n/a. It still has the original exaust, though rotted some by the NY winters. From the time that I bought the car the backlight for the radio never worked. No big deal...

    Bad news

    I left for the Army 2 months ago. Right before I left my beauty died on me. I found out that it was the timing belt that shredded. The guy that is working on it while I am away says that I have valve damage. I would like to hear from some of you guys to see if that is even a possablity. I don't...

    Header/head question

    Ok, for my 100th post I have a question about the head and header. There are anti-reversion dams built into the head. I read that you should not remove them when doing head work b/c they help keep the exaust pulses from messing with the next fire out of the combustion chamber. In another thread...

    Cams

    I've done some searching off site and have not been able to come up with anything for the NA. Do you have to get custom grinds or am I just not hitting the right sites. I'm thinking future project and want to know what kind of options that I might have. Thanks in advance.

    another broken part

    I just broke my most recent part. In the door is some bar that stops the door from swinging to far out. The weld on that broke today and I didn't know if anyone else had any luck just rewelding that back together. I'm sure that it wouldn't be cheap from the dealer as they never are. Any imput...

    tires

    I still have the tires that came with my car. They are a brand that I haven't heard of but they hook to a point then are gone. They never squeal, all I get is traction then it heads for teh rev limiter faster than I can let off the gas. I was just wandering what everyone else is running for...

    Strange idea

    I have an 87 N/A at the moment. I also own a 95 T-100. It is in pretty sad shape body wise and was wondreing if anyone had put a 3.4L V-6 in a Supra. I know that it's rated for roughly 190 horse and 220 on the tourque side. The truck will get up and move and it weighs less than the car does. I...

    Driping overflow

    I just purchased my supra about a month ago. I bought it partially b/c it was a one owner 130K car. Can't go wrong right...well I have a few things to sort out as usual for a car that's almost as old as I am. One thing that has me a little confused is that I changed the thermostat three weeks...

    I happened across a tip on anther site and I wanted a little more info before I go and try this myself. On the AFM they said to take off the black cover and move the little metal peice out of the way and rotate the wheel 3-5 teeth counter clockwise. My question is what does this really do and is...

    Racing my boss

    I'm just curious. I'm new to the supra community. I just bought my '87 N/A 5spd about three weeks ago. It is entirely stock, for now. My problem is that I might have let my mouth over load what my car can do. I basically have now got a drag race set up with my boss. He has an '88 Corvette. It's...
