At 19, you are probably racing for fun, not for serious competition. So I would just race the supra. It's fun as hell on an autocross track, just a little clumsier than a miata. Your times will never be as low as a miata, sure, but you will be put in classes against comparable cars. There is...

My 7M was doing that exact thing. Hard to start but always would after a couple tries, and ran/starts fine once I got it going. After reading this, I thoroughly cleaned the cold start valve with carb cleaner, sealed it on with gasket maker, and used some liquid electrical tape on the harness...

ditto, cept I have a solid roof. Fastest I've ever driven. It might have squeezed out a little more but I was running out of road and didn't want to hurt edward. Does the supra have a speed limiter? been in my dad's BMW 5-series at like 145, air conditioning on, baby brother asleep in the back...

That makes me want to cry...I want to restore it!

Last Thursday I replaced the slipping clutch with a SPEC Stage 1 clutch. It's pretty quick! I have never owned a car that didn't have a sloppy old dying clutch, so with this brand new hard one, I can barely drive it in parking lots... I did all the brakes this weekend. All new pads and...

With a 2" drop, you might want to think about some aftermarket suspension arms to keep the car in alignment. They would probably help more than sway bars. 2" Drop just screams bumpsteer to me... Next I'd say go with an exhaust, not for power but just to make you smile every time you whir up...

Thanks. I think I might be able to just replace everything catalytic converter and on. Is there any specific brand or type of catalytic converter that is more resistant to running rich on fuel? I know that is bad for cats... I'm not even sure it's really running that rich but it gurgles...

It starts on that empty end right next to the oil filler cap. It leads down to this hole right in the middle of the picture deep down in there. And this is it, positioned as it sits when attached. Is that still the right part #? ;)

I'd like some pictures of a stock exhaust (particularly near the cat) that show the flanges and their positions. My exhaust is...unique. It doesn't have a cat anywhere, and where I think it would be there is a pipe poorly welded in. The piping ended near the gas tank (rest either rotted off...

Yes. The hose is very cracked. I ripped it to pieces getting it off of the engine so I could get the top half of the intake manifold off. I don't think it's aftermarket- it seemed pretty oem. It was right in between the manifold and the alternator. I will put a pic up as soon as I get a...

Alright. I'm down in there now. I already had planned to replace the spark plugs, so I just took it a little further...doing dist. cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, intake manifold gasket, collector gasket, and fuel injector o-rings. Also, this one hose that attaches right next to the oil filler...

I ran some engine cleaner on the engine bay and then rinsed it off yesterday, and it has been sputtering a bit since. It doesn't do it all the time, only sometimes, it was doing it especially in the rain. It just sounds like maybe one cylinder isn't firing- it sounds like a subaru... I...

I have no idea what has happened to it lately- not much though. Pretty neglected. I do have all the original papers from the dealership purchase in 1986- window info papers, dealer installed options (it came with a shadow), owner's manual, etc. I have no idea if the head gasket has been...

$1500 I got new tires and cleaned it up since this pic. As soon as I have time to spend a couple hours waxing and detailing it, I'll do a nice photo shoot and put up some real pix.

I found a Supra on craigslist, and jumped on it! My friend and I took a little road trip and picked it up. I'm moving up from my nissan 240sx to the supra :) It's an 87, burgundy, 5spd, non turbo, 181k miles. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been abused, but it has been neglected. It came...
