    Night Cruise with my baby & rebuild album. Supra love! Tons of pics!

    Well this is random so I'll explain a little. Last summer I bought my 87 Supra, she was non turbo at 71k. This is my 3rd Supra, sold the other 2 running and drivable but both where also N/A. This one developed rod knock roughly 500 miles after buying her. Bought a donor car with a running motor...

    7M-GTE w/ W58 Trans clutch issues, need advice please

    Hey! I recently swapped in a rebuilt GTE into my non turbo car. I'm using the non turbo trans as I was told by many it was okay. However, the non turbo clutch, which was new by the way, is not holding up good. It slips under boost sometimes, and if i shift too fast between first and second, it...

    Three Supra Generations In GTA San Andreas

    Not quite sure if this is the right area to post this but here it goes... This is what happens when you're (or me) obsessed with Supras and you have too much time on your hands and you mod GTA SA. For the record I did NOT make any of these cars. Search Google for them if you really want to do...

    My "Going Wingless For Now" Mini Project. Final pics on pg3!

    Well Tuesday after work my girlfriend's father welded shut the 89+ wing holes on my 87. Today after work I tried having my paws at some body work. It's not completely done yet. I still want to get it smoother and flatter if I can. The previous owner's dad put the 89+ wing on and due to it...

    Alright, so it's not rod knock, but get this!

    Alright guys. I think I narrowed it down today. I was driving around, went to 2 garages (I get off at 5, and most close by then) and got some ideas. The one garage told me he had to take my car apart and find what was wrong, at that point I left that one and said goodbye. The 2nd garage was...

    Please help guys, do I have rod knock?

    Alright I'm going to explain this the best I can to you. I traded my Subaru a week ago for the 87 Supra. The kid lived 2 hours away in NJ, I live in PA. When he got to my house the Supra was tapping. I figured ah fook it, if he made it this far the car shouldn't be that bad. I've seen the car 6...

    Do I have a BHG? 2 Videos included!

    Alright heres the story. A few weeks ago, if you saw my post when my belts flew off, I overheated the Supra. Got belts on it, drove it around more. Then I drained all the coolant out and put water back in. Burped it of course, and drove it more. Then I went to the Philly Supra meet on Sunday, as...

    How to flush out the motors cooling ports?

    Hey guys. I'm just wondering how I go abouts flushing out the motors cooling lines/ports or whatever you wanna call 'em. Flushing the radiator is easy enough, take out plug on bottom and run water thru the radiator cap hole. Also keep in mind I cannot remove my themostat as the bolt broke off...

    My adventure of getting the Supra outta the snow!

    Yea it snowed alot here in eastern PA. I got stuck THREE times trying to get the beast out. Rocking it back and fourth with first and reverse was a skill I learned fast. Broke 3 ice scrappers in the process and somehow cut my middle finger knuckle on my right hand, I guess sharp ice. Anyways...

    It's just me walking around all the Supras for about 20 mins worth of video. You guys wanted it so here it is. The original is like 90mb so I compressed it down to 13mbish. It's not great quality now but it'll do I hope. I tried making a divx version but my program crapped out that I use to...
