    Where is the oil leak coming from?

    i think the base model supra (NA) averaged around 200.00 and the rack for the turbo cars around averaged 300.00 what i did when my rack went bad. i drained all the fuild from the rack, right where the two (they look like brake lines) lines are at the center of the rack. i undid them and turn...

    sad day in my little world

    I don't think he will even remember me to be honest. I keep going to his shop trying to get the pistons so i can install and he never had them done when he said he would. so its going to be a waste of time. as far as breaking in the motor i took it easy the first 700 miles to give the kevar...

    1jzgte project went terrible

    I think the lesson here learned and the one i learned is not to trust shops or mechanics that don't have experience with our cars. it's easy to find a domestic bubba but an import, have to look for one, and a supra we have to dig for them. I will never take my car to a mechanic or shop that...

    sad day in my little world

    three years ago i bought my first turbo car(little did i know what a supra can do or yet along what a surpa was) for cheap. It had a leaking turbo and i (with the help of a friend of mine) took the turbo to get rebuild. I installed it that night and took it for a test run. 20psi and did that bad...
