Hey guys, ive posted on here earlier about having some troubles passing smog. i took my supra down to my grandmas mechanic of 20 years..he has a 85 supra of his own and i just asked him if he could look at the car and check the EGR and what not to see if everythings working properly. i get a call 2 hours later telling me the timing belt is COMPLETELY off, he says its off 30degrees and he cant even see the marks, and that the belt probably jumped..blah blah blah..i go down to look at it myself, and hes like yea your supras really underpowers...my older NA supra is alot faster than it! and he goes on on and about how fast mines should be especially with the turbo. he says he did what he could to adjust the timing belt by ear because he "could hear something wrong with it" and he feels that after he did that it ran much stronger....now after hearing this i get kinda nervous because i just had about 3000 dollars worth of maintenance work done by a reputable shop here on the forums and the timing belt was done as well! i trust the shop so im fairly confident the timing belt was done properly.. but im gonna have it checked out again.
**BTW the guy that checked it out and said it was the timing belt said that before i can even go get it smogged i need to fix the timing belt or it wont pass smog. so he said i cant guarantee it will pass smog after the timing belt, but its the 1st step we gotta take cuz it is "definitely out" does this sound like complete bullshit to you guys? i will hopefully have this all taken care of by this tuesday, just wanted to get some opinions.
