    Need help in a buying decision

    After selling my 89 turbo I'm thinking about rejoining the supra game. I have some concerns about the 87 turbo I'm looking at. The guy that owns it bought it the way it is and knows next to nothing about it. He let a guy look at it to buy and the potential buyer messed with the knobs on the safc...

    No start after setting a while.

    My auto went out so I bought another one and I'm gonna put a tranny cooler on it and I was wondering if the B&M Race series cooler that cools to 20500 BTUs was overkill? Should I just go for there one that does 14400 BTUs and comes with an installation kit? I'll be shimming the shift...

Well I got gas the other day and started my car up and pulled to the intersection to pull out and it dies in the intersection. So I crank and crank and crank to no avail.

    HKS downpipe and 3inch elbow. (not gonna work?)

    I bought a HKS 3inch downpipe and a 3inch Elbow. But looking at the downpipe I noticed it measures the stock exhaust size and then goes up to 3inch. So the gasket that goes between the two will either be to small for the elbow or too big for the downpipe. I was trying to keep from having...

    Sputtering at Idle after change of sparkplugs

    Well the other day I changed my Plugs and my oil. When I took the old plugs out 5 and 6 had oil in the gallies (valve cover seals leak). I soaked as much of it up as I could before I took the plug out. I then put in Autolite 3923's gapped to .029. Of course there was smoke on startup due to the...
