so it was due for a new timing belt & also been having this problem getting the car started. like if i don't use the car for a day/few days.. or sometimes it'll happen the same day if it's been a really long time in-between usage(like early morning & then not using the car again till the...
Well my first thing is that i'd at some point like to swap the 7M-GE engine in my current Supra with a 2JZ-GTE (I have an 89 MarkIII NA)... are there complications in doing so?
Also, is it possible to put a 2JZ-GTE into an AE86? what about an 83-85 Celica GT-S ?
thanks for any responses!
well.. it's pretty sad actually. i basically have a stock 89 NA Supra & it's automatic. i got this one in particular because at the time i couldn't afford much of anything & thought 'well i want a Supra so why not'.
i just started a new"good" job yesterday but it's gonna be awhile before the...
i have not done it yet but took my 89 Supra to a local shop for an estimate on a new set of rims+tires. the guy there was familiar with my car & suggested i put 17" rims on the front & 18" rims on the back and insists it'd be great & work out well.
So anyway, my 2nd to last car was a 'modified' Eclipse, then i had a 'heavily modified' Civic, and have now finally switched to a Supra. All these years though my sister has never cared for cars and always had some big ass SUV/Truck. Well, the other day was her birthday so i called to wish her a...
i remember a dealership out in Escondido(North San Diego County) had a black Ford Probe that said "GT-S" on the sides of it. the guy at the dealership said it was AWD & that he's holding the car for some guy from Vegas who was on his way out to pick it up.
oh well didn't fit in that car...
have carbon fiber mirrors & a carbon fiber hood on a white 89 NA? i was talking to some guy at a local auto customization store & he was all "it'd look like patchwork. you'd have to paint the car.. blah blah blah'
maybe then i should just paint different parts of the car different colors...
I know this may seem like an odd topic, but i just had to say something because of how pleased i am. Basically, i've been into sports cars for some time now. Have had a "modified" Civic & a "modified" Eclipse before and didn't exactly fit too comfortably in either car. I couldn't even get in the...
BorHor, thanks.. i filled the reservoir and yes, the light then went off. cool!
as for the starter thing, well.. i will need to have a friend come over & check what's going on under the hood when i try to start it. hopefully this weekend i'll be able to see what's going on.
oh btw...
Hello everyone,
When i bought my Supra i guess i didn't inspect it carefully enough.. i mean, for it's age(89) there were minor rust spots here & there.. but i was cleaning up the car recently & decided to remove the spare tire in back and i was shocked.. it was basically rust city under that...
I have an 89 Supra & most of the time when i try starting the car it'll take multiple attempts before it starts up(usually i have to give it a bit of gas before turning the key)... although once i've gotten it up & going, the whole rest of the day anytime i try turning on the car it kicks in...
hello hello, thanks for the welcome. authorized vendor eh?... that'll come in handy. i would like to fix this car up as i'm able to(currently in the job hunting mode.. the bloody ol' apply & interview process. weee!) as even though i eventually would like to get another Supra i'm sure if/when...
i actually have a similiar problem myself. the "Add Engine Coolant" light is always on. i checked the radiator/overflow tank & levels seem to be fine. there also doesn't appear to be any leaks anywhere..
is it just the sensor that's gone bad or should i be worried & have it checked out...
just wanted to say hi! i'm new to the whole Supra scene. remembered a friend of mine who used to have an old Supra & thought it was a great car & now i've got one myself... unfortunately though, i didn't have much money available at the time & the only decent Supra i found was an 89 non-turbo in...
