Like most Mk3 owners, I started with a hill for a project and ended up with a mountain. My budget ended up being 1/2 what reality dictated. As with most things in life I am learning a lot as I go so the car would have been much cheaper and a shorter build if I knew them what I know now. Second...

Mines 2 years overdue. Probably be finished in another 2 years. Always something to improve... Really like your orange touches. Very sharp

Realising that this is definitely not built to be a dyno queen... That turbo looks very nice. Shooting for 450+? Reserving my "OMG" remarks until I see them on a monitor... lol

Love it! I want that on my car... lol I see it attracts pussy...

I have built garages before and people sometimes say... 24' x 32' ... isn't that a big garage? I always replied.. "you can never have too big of a garage...no matter how big you make it.. it will be too small". Im envious.. you can actually work on your cars in that. Now you just need a hoist.

Look at the guy's name... Underneath it says Ontario. Welcome to Canada... Where parts are a minimum of 200% what you pay. Why? Because we're polite and allow them to (or we buy from the US and BEG!!!! people not to send via UPS.

hmm.. my Supra never broke down. I wanted more power.. and in building for more power found problems that would have reared their ugly heads at a later date. Don't forget that most older Toyotas can be driven hard and driven long. My 88 Cressida lasted me 14 years with 2 oil changes in all that...

I tried that with my 87... then found out I had a suspension issue when the tire started hopping.. lol. Love the torque of the NA.

Think it was 200.00.. but I got the side skirts/bumper/rear bumper add-ons and whale tail.. because no matter what.. shipping is at least 200.00 due to size. I bundled everything in one order so that shipping wasn't so heavy.

I have to say... (just because the previous post made me think)... I have a fiberglass Shine Auto bumper on my car. I have hit 2 parking blocks, scraped on the road (many times) ran into 3 slopes that stopped my car completely (they were too steep for my car to "nose" up on). It has one tiny...

I would do it in a heartbeat, however, I have to catch up on all the upgrades I have done over the last 12 months.. if it wasn't for the $$ being short atm, I would actually own one right now because I had to pass on one I found for that reason only.

Will find out soon.. they are just waiting on the manifold to get back from being ceramic coated (was pretty damn rusty and had 2 bolts that had to be removed as they were broken in the holes... and helicoiled). Hopefully it gets there today, then they will R&R the turbo/manifold/downpipe and...

Yeah, doing it yourself is best and I remember the joy and satisfaction of a build. However, even with a "better" Supra, your going to be farther ahead if you shop smart. I missed 2 Supras that I would have overpaid to get my hands on because I am too deep into my 88 financially. I didn't...

Just as an update (if anyone was watching... lol) car should be dynode in 2-7 days (broad range.. but if it doesn't finish on the weekend.. It will skip a week... ) Im anxious...

Typical gearhead... buys a garage.. with a house attached... lol

I believe there is a shifter in the classifieds right now for sale. Used is the way to go.

What I meant was... Think this out carefully. If you can't do the work yourself (like me for the major stuff) your better off getting a different car. Just was trying to rip you away from the Supra dream for a second to think about that because if you love the car like I do, are short on time...

Ummm not to be a party pooper... But it's cheaper to replace the car. You can't just "buy a new engine". You can't just "go 2j". Those are fantasies. Having never seen the car, judging by your description and without even verifying a BHG... I would assume your going to have to deal with a...

When the engine is powering it pressurized the rad with leaked exhaust gases (which forces the coolant out of the overflow). When its a really badly blown gasket the coolant can pump into the cylinders as well and creep past the rings. This results in bearing wear. Can kill the crank as well...

Head gaskets let go over time. There are usually indicators. Of course.. it might be something else... quickest way is to do a quick test. You want to watch your oil, if you start getting coolant in the oil, it becomes an engine instead of a head gasket. A tester costs about 50-85.00 and you...
