My coolant system is building so much pressure that it is causing my coolant pipes to pop off. Is it because the radiator cap has crapped out and not releasing pressure like it should. its a 1.1 bar on an aftermarket radiator. It just started doin this today.
way too much pressure....

Yeah, I'm sure it is a blown headgasket. What I'm wondering is isnt the radiator cap suppose to release some of that pressure?
Actually, it doesnt matter. I'm tradin the car in a few weeks. I cant afford to fix the damn thing everytime. Be cheaper to get a gas guzzling SUV then to own a MKIII supra.

I've owned several MKIII Supras since 1990. Properly maintained, they are damned near free to operate other than putting fuel in them.
Perhaps it's just not the car for you.
Any downtime my car has had has been 100% my fault if I don't get it wrong it's damn reliable even at 470rwhp.

I'm running about 380 RWHP on my daily driver (1990 Turbo) and it's damned reliable...
Wouldn't hesitate to jump in mine and drive it anywhere with no more prep than the usual check fluids fill it with fuel and go 
mines a dd and my mountain car...i think it s funny cause when i blew my na i was thinking the same way, i decided to put the money down on ARPs, metal headgasket and fixed it myself. Good choice on the account of i haven't had a problem since.
good luck trading it in. they wont give you much at all. your better off parting it out or selling it to a fellow supra owner.
