    debating what car to get as a DD....

    lol, i thought that fire issue was with the 84 model only(and just people who neglected oil changes).. ? the one i had found was an 87. oh well. aside from that though i was also very concerned about even being able to fit in a Scirocco or a Fiero. i had tried getting into a CRX & a RX-7...

    debating what car to get as a DD....

    my 1st choice was obviously to get another MARK III Supra & had found one in decent condition for $1,000. however, under further investigation i had also found a VW Scirocco & a Pontiac Fiero for around that price range also & had heard good things about those cars as well. so i guess my...

    high speed vibration

    you know what's odd, i actually had something similiar in my last Supra... it was actually something that kicked in right at about 60MPH and it would vibrate(although not too much) and i would hear this loud ass humming sound.. and it would only do that at 60.. 55, no 65, no.. just at...

    Pics of the "MKV Supra" (I know I know...repost, but just look)

    well, it's a sedan, but the new Lexus LS 600h L looks pretty bad ass and available soon/if not already(seen the commercials?). 5.0L V8, 430HP, Hybrid, 19 speaker surround sound system... http://www.lexus.com/fcv/ls_hybrid.html

    got an SC400 recently...

    well this SC400 is pretty comfortable and seems to drive very well. i love how right as you start to put your foot down on the gas it just wants to take off. i miss my old MARKIII though (my 1st car actually was a MARKIII to waaay back in the day). would be cool to see if someone here'd be...

    got an SC400 recently...

    blah! fine.. i will go out and get batteries for the ol' digi cam tomorrow and take pics. as for the comment on keeping it over a MARK III.. well, i guess you could say that the MARK III was the 1st car that i actually enjoyed having and it's more of a sentimental thing to want a MARK III...

    got an SC400 recently...

    managed to find one at a good price so decided to go through with it. the car has nearly 200K miles on it but was informed that the engine had been replaced about 20k miles ago(no receipt for it so was just 'word of mouth'), has some big ol' 3rd party "Injen" intake on it, 3rd party exhaust...

    wreck finders auction site? can you give me some more information on that? is it a place in Oceanside? it would be a great help if i could get a wrecked/salvaged MARK III that cheap to get parts from.

    Junk Yards in San Diego County?

    Does anyone know of any good junk yards in San Diego county? (preferably North County) Have gone to Ecology Auto Parts in Oceanside, CA and didn't really find much at all as far as the 89-92 Mark III's go. Been looking to get various interior parts & hoping to just find em locally off of a...

    89 Supra 7M-GE EGR Temp Sensor/Connector?

    i will try and take some pics this weekend. my camera kind of sucks and by the time i get off of work it's already dark. according to the diagram under the hood, it should be located right behind the engine?

    89 Supra 7M-GE EGR Temp Sensor/Connector?

    Well, that's the thing.. the person who did the engine swap for me 'supposedly' does not have the old engine anymore(some mechanic shop named "Automan" here in Oceanside) & on top of that i ended up having some things go wrong with the car afterwards that were fine before the engine swap(think...

    89 Supra 7M-GE EGR Temp Sensor/Connector?

    I recently had a low-mileage 7M-GE JDM motor installed into my 89 (non-turbo) Supra. Evidentially, i need a new EGR Temp Sensor/Connector as the one currently in my car is a JPN one that does not meet up to US-CA smog requirements. The "check engine" light now comes on whenever i startup the car...

    My 89 NA broke down again, told needs new engine

    should have checked for replies before going off to get this taken care of.. but anyway, Toyota offered to pull a 7M-GE out of some wreck in a junk yard and install it for me for like $3100(no warrenty either) so i pretty much said f-that and ended up finding a place called "AutoMan" here in...
