I was going to begin tearing my car apart today to fix a BHG but bending over the front end was killing my lower back so I was beginning to consider having it done at a local shop. What's the average cost to repair a bhg in a 7MGE. I know there are some of you who have had it done and what did...

While waiting for the weather to warm up so I can repair a BHG, I thought I would try to spruce up my interior a little bit. Does anybody know of a website you can order nice floormats. There was a vendor on ebay who sold them but I can no longer find it. I'm on dialup at home so it is very...

Ok, I was checking out Supra's on ebay and there is a black 88 turbo and in the description he or she says that the engine was rebuilt and has an "updated" head gasket. So my question is, are the stock head gaskets you buy from Toyota exactly the same as they were back then or have they been...

Turbo Supras came with a different auto tranny than N/A's correct? If so, is there a code somewhere on the tranny to identify which one it is? Thanks

I know on JDM 7MGE's you have to swap out the intakes so it will pass emissions testing. Does the same apply for 7MGTE? I'm actually tossing around the idea of converting my N/A to turbo.

Ok, time for me to ask another question I'm sure has been addressed numerous times, but cannot find what I really want to know. Which cars have which differentials? Which one is best for just cruising. My car is an 89 NA, where on the car do I find the code to determine which one I have? My...

Since I can't drive my bitch I took a picture of it, tweaked it, thought it was cool. Notice the difference in the mirrors. Kwnate, you'll have your money tomorrow, thanks.

I have an 89 n/a and am putting a stock unit back in for now. I'm having to resplice the wiring harness because a dumbass cut it(for you idiots who cut radio plugs off, they make adapters!). While I was doing this it made me wonder what that extra antenna like wire is next to the antenna wire...

Hey, fixing to leave to take the head off my spare engine. What special tools do I need other than metric sockets and such?

Does anybody know how much a 7mge with the intake on weigh? I am fixing to buy an engine stand for the old 7M sitting in the back of my truck and the cheaper one is rated for 750lbs.

Just curious about something. Why is it a rod knock is common after a BHG? Mine is currently leaking so I don't drive it. I have not noticed any coolant in the oil yet. When I start the car it reaks of burning coolant, smokes, and then steams but does not overheat. Bottom end still sounds good...

Need some basic signs and symptoms of a leaking head gasket. Also, if it were leaking would you have white smoke as well as some steamy exhaust? No milky oil cap, just smokey and steamy upon first start up and check engine light comes on and no I haven't read the code yet, haven't been home long...

On a bone STOCK 7MGE with around 170k miles, what would the STOCK oil pressure gauge typically read? I just swapped clusters because the gauge on my old one was bad and I'm now able to read pressure which at hot idle is between 0-20 psi and at about 3k rpm(revving not driving) is just a little...

I'm sure this has been discussed over and over but I did not feel like trying search for an answer since my mangina is aching tonight. When I accelerate or rev the engine I hear water behind the dash. I know it's going through the heater but how do I remedy this sound? I did read something on...

I've searched the website and can't find specific information. Is there supposed to be a decal that goes on the top of the intake plenum of a 7MGE? I seem to recall seeing one somewhere that read 24 Valve Twin Cam I think, but don't know if that was something that someone made up or what.

Could someone explain this widebody thing I keep hearing about? Also, my car has two different style mirrors on it. I was unaware the MKIII had different styles. BTW, the latest news from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Vehicle Dump. Here's a pic of the new organ donor. This has a much better...

Well I picked up my car yesterday after having a used engine put into it and well, that engine has a very loud tapping to it and blows some white smoke when you let off the gas. On the upside though, there is no check engine light and the the transmission is adjusted right and will now shift...

Went by to check on my car yesterday and got some pics. Hopefully it will be ready to pick up tomorrow. Took some pics. Some may look familiar to you guys. Car on the rack "new" engine sitting in car "old" engine another one on the rack The "organ donor" Rest in...

While my car is in the shop getting an engine swap, it has left me to ponder other issues. My transmission shifts through all the gears VERY quickly. I'm talking, by 35 mph I'm already in OD and it does not downshift when I punch it. The ECT button has no effect. Possible solenoid problem...
