I don't think so, unfortunately. :(

I have yet to notice a black cloud behind the car when it stalls- I was talking with a friend who knows more then a little about turbos, and he asked me the same question. If there's a cloud coming out when it kicks back in, it's so thin I don't notice it. Thanks for the information- I'll poke...

Alright, I'm completely out of ideas, and I need help. I've never owned a car with forced induction before, so most of this is completely new to me. I cannot comprehend what would cause this to happen, and what I do not understand I can only dream of fixing. Currently, when I drive my...

That's the strangest thing I've ever seen. The bulbs I put in were just hanging out in the trunk, so I assumed they were the right kind- I guess not! :biglaugh: Thanks for the info!

Hiya! So, interesting problem with my Supra that's got me laughing. First some history: When I first bought the car, the in dash tail light indicator light was on constantly, but all the tail lights seemed to function properly. In another thread, I was told this was likely because I had...

LOL :biglaugh:

Awesome. And that'll cover all the hoses off the turbo? :D

Not all of them are bad- but all of them look like the original, factory 20 year old hoses- so I figured I'd just replace them all to avoid problems later on. There is one coming off the turbo intake that's currently held together with gaffer's tape. ..that one I intend to replace today with...

And here I am again! My next project involves replacing all the hoses (many of which are cracked open or just plain broken and currently held on with gaffer tape)- specifically the ones off the turbo. Is there a hose "kit" anywhere that one could purchase to replace all of them at the same...

Hey guys! I was tearing up Hwy 9 out in the mountains the night before last to see what my new Supra could do. It was fantastic- except when I was taking left hairpin turns at between double and triple the "recommended speed", I noticed my coolant light (birdcage wtf?) came on. It only...

I'm totally all for that. When? :D

Update! The problems inside the engine, after some looking and driving and whatnot, can be mostly singled out to a need for spark plugs, and bad gas (I think this was sitting for 6 months or so before I got it). It's running like a dream now. The driveshaft is fine- but the differential...

Ha! Sorry to jump on this so late, but I'm in the Bay too- Sunnyvale, and I do on site technical support for APR in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Woodside. I just got myself an 87, and I'll be spending the day here in Sunnyvale under the car doing an oil change, differential fluid change and...

Okay- I tried spinning the tires- Both spin in the same direction (?), and no noise is heard when I spin either tires in either direction. I grabbed a paper clip (so cool!) and grabbed a code- it gave me 51 once- but now, when I tried it again, it didn't throw any codes (?). 51 Switch...

lol Well, that kinda goes without saying. :p

He didn't know much about it, so I'm going to try to get in contact with the previous previous owner (heh), which was his brother, I think. Either way, I intend to get a full history of what's been done to it so I have a good idea of where to begin. I figure a timing belt is in there...

Turbo to TB? What do you mean by TB? I'll definitely take a look at the intakes tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

I don't have anything to read codes with as of yet- but the whole way home it had an error light on- it's the one with the picture of the car with what appears to have break lights on- I'm guessing it might be warning me that there are a few lights out (which is true- I haven't replaced the bad...

I intend to do all of those things tomorrow. :D Okay, coil packs then! I've never had a non N/A car before. :) edit: And what for? Check http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=520136#post520136 - It's hiccupping and not wanting to start properly.

lol! Okay, so I'm a little excited. :D :D :D
