    ZOMG Your auto warranty will expire soon!!!

    Most of the time your number is either in the phone book, on your company's website, or otherwise listed in some other public forum but some of these unscrupulous people are just setting their units to dial sequentially through all suffixes in the phone exchanges they're targeting in hopes of...

    Loud Noise coming from engine

    Once you've got 7M rod knock, even if it was "just" low, no amount of oil being added will ever make it go away... It'll only get worse the more you screw with trying to run it. If it still idled basically normal/smooth but was noisy that's a glimmer of light at least because it means you...

    post or delete???

    In the shop, a MkIII??? That sounds EXPENSIVE$$$... Aside from alignments, the annual set of new tires, and oil changes (3k miles every 6-8 weeks!) my 87 went nearly 7 years without getting anywhere near a shop for any reason, even the BHG replacement was done in a friend's driveway with the...

    Some o y'all know me, some don't. Hey to all!

    Sorry to hear that your MkII became a parts car. What, no -GTE swap for it? :)

    Thanks man, hope the advice by phone was at least a little helpful. BTW, PP is the "Performance Package" for the MkI, offered only in '81 afaik. The awesome MkI crew at celicasupra.com has been refreshing my memory and expanding my knowledge of these sorts of things lately... As I...

    Yeah.... priorities totally fubar is more like it... :) I could've had the MkIII running again by now and built the garage I want instead but I just couldn't resist getting the 98TT and then the MkI. Thanks for all the welcomes y'all! notice the updated sig! :) (no more IS300)

    Yes I am and yes you do! I sold it last month and haven't had a chance to snap any pics with all 4 Supra gen's lined up together yet. I bought the IS300 because of the 2JZ right after Katrina took my N/A MkIII from me and I was originally hoping to GE-T it once I got my post-Katrina life...

    Looking for scannable MKIII brochures

    Very true that the 2000GT seems to be the origin of the Toyota I6 2-door "Sporty Car" series that eventually became the 1979 Celica Supra. I read somewhere that the 1980 (iirc) Celica Supra in Japan got a 2.0L I6 M-TE engine with a Garret Turbo on it that made more power than the 4M-E that was...

    Looking for scannable MKIII brochures

    I have the original 1979 Celica-Supra brochure but the innermost 4 pages are missing because it was a 2-page gatefold spread profile picture of the car plus the 2 "pages" on the back side) that the original owner's daughter detached and hung on her bedroom wall when it was new then lost over the...

    Is the stock Anti-Theft Adequate?

    There are 2 different styles of MkIII keys. I forget if it's 90 or 91 when Toyota changed them but those newer keys are longer, have a groove in them, and are actually 2-sided tumblers iirc so they're a LOT harder to get into even with a ton of Toyota keys... The older key type on every year...

    Some o y'all know me, some don't. Hey to all!

    Hey All, I've had Supras since about 1992 when I stepped up from my 81 GT Liftback Celica and got my very used '82 L-Type MkII and I've been through just about every version and type USDM Supra since except a MkI PP and a MkIV N/A and I've been on the sogi mailing list since the mid 1990's when...
