    Got handed by a Hemi Dodge Charger.

    I had just finished doing an oil change for my 91 bone stock turbo when I decided to hit the gym. Car seemed smoother now that it was using 0w-30 Castrol oil.. Anyway after a good long workout I left the gym. When I got in my car I decided to drive sans the targa top, had the instrument panel...

    Head replaced and reassembled engine at Toyota dealer some 10 years ago

    Sorry IJ, I am not too familiar with any type engine work that requires extensive disassembly. Correct me if I am wrong, but from my understanding of your instructions the engine block has threads that need to be chased? Meaning all the threads for the bolts need to be cleaned out or re-drilled...

    Head replaced and reassembled engine at Toyota dealer some 10 years ago

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1991 turbo supra. The previous owner kept all maintenance paper work and service records. All the documents were transferred to me. Today, I was looking through the paperwork and found a $2,500 bill for a head gasket replacement procedure at a Toyota dealer in...

    Jovino's 1991 Toyota Supra

    Thanks for the complements. I'm going to keep her as stock as possible. I ended up special ordering the hose from a Toyota dealer. It was a little pricey but I'm happy with the end results.

    Jovino's 1991 Toyota Supra

    Here is the pic of the car I changed the thermostat and radiator cap last night and took it out for a drive. Took it for a spin in the freeway and the temperature appeared normal for the entire ride. But upon exiting the freeway the temp slightly rose and then went back to normal. Is this...

    Jovino's 1991 Toyota Supra

    Hello, supramania. I just drove home my new supra: A 1991 Turbo with 106,000 miles. The only plans I have for the car is to change the radiator cap, thermostat, coolant and oil because on the drive back home the temperature gauge was skyrocketing to high and then it would return to normal. It...

    Taking some preventative measures..

    I am in the process of configuring a speaker setup for a 1991 Supra that I am about to purchase. I found what looks like a good pair of speakers that have a depth of 2-1/4". Anyone know if these speakers will fit? I don't know how much depth the front speaker pods can accept. Thanks

    DP Diaphragm and VTV Confusion

    I noticed that my DP Diaphragm is missing a hose. I know its suppose to connect to the VTV, but i cant find any damn nipple to attach it to. After studying this diagram, http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EC&P=3 I realized that the end of the VTV doesn't lead...

    Cannot reinstall power steering pump. New problems added

    OK.. So once I have the pivot bolt properly screwed in, I am suppose to loosen the pivot bolt and tension bolt. Then I swivel the pulley to the right in order to attach the belt. And then once the belt is attached I use the pry bar to move the pump back in place and tighten both bolts? Like in...

    Cannot reinstall power steering pump. New problems added

    I am in the process of changing the power steering belt. I removed the top tension bolt. I may have made the mistake of removing the pivot bolt completely instead of just loosing it. Having said that, I removed the old belt and placed the new one but now I cant fit the pivot bolt through the...

    Really indecisive

    She has many flaws. The nose of the supra is bent. It also has some minor misalignment's with the fenders and hood. Frame may be bent also. Its not too noticeable but it bothers me. I really want to have a near perfect supra. So i don't think this supra cuts it for me. At the moment i have...
