    My other Toyota- '86 MR2

    Those MR2's are adorable. I've always wanted to pick one up and bring it home. +1 for determination.

    any un-needed parts under there?

    That's going to be custom work. A few people have done it so determined searching will turn up info but you're on your own for parts and fabrication. The PCV draws out blow-by from the crank case, removing it is a bad idea. The crankcase does get pressure while running and it WILL barf oil if...

    5 years of Supra ownership... How long have you been in the game?

    About 3.5 years. Ironically it's the most reliable car I've owned to date.

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    When you're cruising down the freeway in your cushy Z-car with working heat and radio and wish you were in your gutted, ragged looking MKIII with no heat.

    Air-fuel controllers?

    I run Maft-Pro on an NA and you do feel gains on the butt dyno. Not significant without considerable supporting mods but there are gains. The real benefit of going Maft-Pro is throttle response. On an NA the difference in throttle response between the original AFM and a MAF is night and day.

    Actual supra mkiii mistreatment - warning - too graphic for most to view!!!

    Someone should dub over that in the style of a PowerThirst commercial. Why was the camera shaking so much, does he have Parkinson's?

    need 7M-GE coolant line and air line Help

    The job is really not difficult at all, especially if you have a friend to help you lift the head off. Just don't let him remove any coolant lines, lol.

    valve stem seal replacement? =(

    I've tried redneck style and it is way more work than it's worth IMHO. I did two valves that way and it was taking longer than it would have to remove and replace the head. Unless the cost of the HG is an issue I would just do it the right way.

    What happened to FlashChat?

    Sorry, I took a break from the forums and forgot to leave my animal magnetism behind. I'll try to log on more often for you.

    Cressida / Supra 7MGE differences..

    The Cressida uses smaller injectors and iirc a milder cam. The differences are not that big but you should definitely take the ECU and harness from a similarly equipped Cressida. The Cressida and Supra use different harnesses and ECU's, they are not compatible.

    Replacing the headgasket isn't that difficult. Why don't you fix it and keep driving?

    i need an opinion and some info on a vintage camshaft needing some rework

    Don't run it as is or it will chew up your rocker. Have it reground as mentioned above and re-shim as necessary.

    Rebuilt, started, and then she is starved :(

    Turn the key to on, walk to the front of the car, and manually open the AFM flapper door with your hand or a screwdriver. You should be able to hear the fuel pump turn on. If it doesn't work, check the AFM connector and make sure it is clean and securely fastened. If it still doesn't work...

    Im so lost on this....

    I would take a stethoscope or large screwdriver and listen to the engine at different locations, top and bottom. Just having a location to work with would narrow the possibilities down by a lot. Any chance of a video? Lights dimming when you hit the brakes is pretty common in cars this old...

    Since he's from Alabama wouldn't he hold the goat?

    High Compression N/A Pistons

    I also run the Wiseco 10.5:1 pistons. I ordered them through the Import Performance Parts link above and have zero complaints with them. The average Supra owner seems to be rabidly anti-NA. Apparently because turbo engines make way more power than NA engines you should just turbo your...
