I am going to re-paint my car this winter, I have the colors picked. I want to do a two-tone, black metallic and red. My car is red, so I don't want to completely change the color as that is a lot of work. Red is also a nice color but I'm looking for a change. My idea is to paint red above the...

I have about 700 miles on it. Been driving on it for about 2 weeks.

Hope its the sprung clutch.. I just put in the ACT 6 puck clutch kit. The disc is unsprung, it's a bitch to drive with! It is rated for 632ft lbs. also. I didn't realize it was unsprung till i got it,I called back and they don't even have the sprung disc in stock it was back ordered. I didn't...

Welcome to SM! Pictures of your car?

Nice supra, looks clean! If you get new wheels, I'd aslo be interested in those mk4 wheels, if highnitro doesn't grab them from ya!

Haha i have already sacrificed enough, that is why im going to get the loan and just pay it like another car payment (since the supra is paid off) it's just like having to pay for an 8k car except mine, to me, will be worth more! The car has already pissed me off while working on it, but after...

Im also 17, i have around 5 or 6k + purchase, havent even put more than 5k on it since i bought it! Spent all my money that was saved up, now going paycheck by paycheck. Getting ready to take a loan out for about 8k to put into my supra.

Also here with the red turbo targa top mk3!

My local maaco has a special or at least did, $99 for a paint job. They scotch brite the car then spray it. My body shop teacher says its not even actual car paint. If it is, very poor paint. The only way i would take a risk with them is if i bought my own paint and prepped the whole car myself...

Check your U-joints that would make the car shake, could be your front alignment or suspension. You can do it by yourself it costs about 500 at a shop.. Dont spend any money or take it somewhere without knowing what it is, from experience, I got new tires and got them balanced and came out with...

Ball joints if they are bad..

They make the seals here in iowa at the toyota too. I needed all of them and the price came to 160! Try using clear silicone around the wholes, the kind of silicone that seals fish tanks and bath tubs..

So im going to get a new clutch and keep the 7m and rebuild it what i should of done first, then i wouldnt of had so much trouble, thats what i was planning on doing first anyways because the motor was supposedly rod knocked, said the previous owner. Turned out it wasn't so i went for different...

I just did the mhg because the hg was blown and a mhg was recommended. The 7m is known for blowing head gaskets so i got the head milled and a thicker and more reliable hg to keep the compression that it had.. This is my first supra so im still learning, your right i probably should of rebuilt...

Yep thats everything that i was planning on getting actually besides the lex afm, do i need that? And i was going to get maft pro or safc. But i just did the hg a month ago, its the titan 1.4mm mhg and replaced a bunch of gaskets and hoses. Got a 3" exhaust w/ hi flow cat and bic ddp, and an...

I had coolant leaking down onto my foot from the drivers side, the brass pipe i think its leaking from, is that part of the heater core or can i just buy that brass pipe? It has stopped now with a little bit of rad. stop leak but i want to fix it right

So if compressions good in all cylinders keep running it? Im looking to get a bigger turbo and hopefully shoot for 350-500whp,in between there. And it will hold up on the 7m with those high miles?

I'd also like to know how hard or complicated the 7m is to rebuild, i find it fairly easy to work on, well lets just say not too complicated, but i havent really gotten into the block internals. I know all of the clearances are tighter and i have never rebuilt a 7m let alone a foreign motor. I...

Yea that was the downside to the swap, you never know what condition it was in before. At least i know mine is running good and its healthy.

I have a 89 turbo with 165k on it. Its a pretty healthy engine after i just did all the maintnance on it. It is probably due for a rebuild before i start putting more mods on it. I dont want to spen all my money in mods and then have it blow up on me. So i have came down to a decision, my clutch...
