    My sons car got robbed

    Can't put any of my stuff back. My dashboard was torn out with a crow bar. Most of the plastic dashboard structure is shattered and cracked. The center console from the front edge of the gear shift selector back towards the rear of the car looks fine but it might have some structural cracks that...

    My sons car got robbed

    A complete dashboard will do it I think. Hopefully I will be able to find one. I was even thinking it would be possible to graft a usuable lower section from the climate control module down to my existing dash but it looks very complicated.

    My sons car got robbed

    I got up early to check out the damage and the entire dashboard will need to be replaced. Most of the inner plastic structure that extends from the heater module down to the center console is broken and shattered into many pieces. I circled one of the areas because if you grab it, it just flaps...

    My sons car got robbed

    Hello everybody. I need your help. As some of you might know my son has a 1987 Supra. Many of you helped me with rebuilding the engine because of a BHG over the summer. My son is 18. His birthday is Monday. He absolutely treasures this car. He calls her Iris and has been saving his money between...

    what is everyone buying with their Christmas moneys????

    Where exactly does Christmas money come?? I still can't figure that out. I used to get Christmas money when I was a kid.

    Compression test results

    Well.. the milkshake and the coolant in the cylinders is most certainly a BHG but I will still say that the reason the motor is running so poorly is because of the timing. This is why you are throwing the RPM code. My guess is that the previous owner messed with the distributor and threw the...

    7m ge overheated/wont start

    I just did mine so I am qualified to respond. Parts and machining (you really have to get the head planed flat if you want to do it the right way) cost me $750.00 That included all the gaskets, belts, head bolts, a new timing belt, water pump, machine shop costs, valve stem seals, injector...

    That doesn't sound or look like a BHG. What that sounds like is your timing is way retarded. When I first built my motor and I first started it up it sounded exactly like that. What you have to do is jump those 2 pins per the TRSM and set the timing 10 degrees BTDC.

    Low coolant, but it refills itself.

    You should order new bolts from a Toyota Dealer if you don't want to spend the extra bucks for ARP bolts. You can tork them to 72 ft.lbs. no problem. Don't reuse your existing factory bolts. Also.. make sure you do a retorque after around 5-7 heat cycles or a few hundred miles.

    recieved the ultimate insult this morning

    And that explains it. A mildly worked Supra piloted by an experienced race car driver.I was thinking it was a light to light thing.

    recieved the ultimate insult this morning

    Thats the way they are around here in Connecticut. The EVO's, WRX/STI's, the Neon SRT4's and of course the Cobra's. There are alot of them around and most of them are VERY fast. There are a few SRT4's in town that have smoked 500hp Cobra's light to light.

    recieved the ultimate insult this morning

    Most guys (or girls) driving a modded EVO know what they are doing.. especially if they throw out an insult at a light. The logical thing that happened is that the EVO driver made the remark and then as the light turned green the guy in the Supra smashed his pedal to the floor and the guy in...

    recieved the ultimate insult this morning

    The thing that gets me when I read a story like this is why the poster always feels a need to finish a story like the one posted with "and then I left him in the dust", or then I blew him away, or then I smoked him. At least pick a car that a MKIII Supra could blow away.... there are plenty of...

    is there a more intelligent question than 'is it turbo?"

    Thats the most common question I get. It doesn't phase me at all because my n/a automatic is so totally bad ass. It gets looks everywhere I go and its just a stock car with a JDM wing and nice rims. The paint is stock and decent. Its the body style that makes the car stand out and the fact that...
