Welcome to Toyota Supra MK3 ownership. You have now embarked on the "OMG why the hell did they do this?" cruise. We all take it. :D

Yes, I have a powder coat that matchesy exterior paint too :) I was thinking of doing that to all my new parts as well.

Yeah I want to stay away from hemi joints of possible. Throwing the car into the shop in about a week to see if we can cut out the old ones and put bushings in. I was surprised these were obsolete...

I have to fix my suspension for an alignment. From what I am finding a lot of parts are obsolete. Any recommendations on what to get for these parts? (as in, aftermarket pieces or do I need to recondition what I have?) 2.0 x TOYOTA 48730-14010 ARM ASSY, REAR SUSPENSION, NO.2 (Lower Control Arm)...

Just to comment on this comment. The thinking here is slightly flawed. You have to match the pipe to the application. Too big means loss of pressure which means you cant get enough air into the intake in the short time it has. Too little means restrictive so not enough air will be waiting to get...

Great build thread so far! Love the stories and love what you can do with metal. Huge friggen bolt/nut. That's gotta be fun threading those.

Google it, there's a couple write ups This will start you off http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1988-Toyota-Supra-Overview-c4224

It's all about money and keeping the majority just happy enough not to turn on you. If you can't keep the population happy... Keep then weak. That's world politics in a nutshell and my comment for the day :)

Facebook sucks for anything other than the odd "connection". Full of trolls and juvenile people hiding behind a keyboard. Misinformation galore. Why? Imagine the world without any police.

Well, the starter wouldn't turn after it stalled and you got the clunk noise. It's a mystery, so it's been on my mind... Lol. It wasn't a rod issue so that's really good. I'm wondering if it's not a wrench in the engine bay (or socket) that when you did the hard stop, it moved and fell. That...

Or did he....

Tried to hand turn the engine (you need a 22 mm (I think) socket and a big bar on the crank bolt). The only time I heard a thunk was when the rod end cap fell off and the piston fell off the crank. You could turn the engine 1/2 turn either direction.

I found that with a CT26, upgrading the intercooler (57 trim turbo) lost me almost 2 psi boost pressure. So, the stock system is adequate for a CT26 (although there is one pipe that is a bottleneck). With my SP6262 T4 setup, the larger intercooler was needed and 2.5" piping with a 4" intake pipe...

Is your battery tied down? Where did your thunk come from? front/middle/rear? The only thing I can think of is if your battery wasn't connected properly. The rest of the car is all attached so shouldn't have any issue that I can think of from hitting the brakes. Just wondering what was loose...

From 16 to 18 I rat raced a 72 Toyota Corolla (1200 cc) through city streets (residential), drag raced cars with 4-6 times more power on highways.., (my max speed was 92 MPH), drove it on motor cross tracks and drove while drinking continuously. At about 18, I grew up a bit and stopped, but I...
