    Help with dash lights? Brake, Rear lights and battery light

    Flickering came back. :( Didn't find any problem when testing the cables from the alternator to the battery or from the battery to the ground on the fender. Alternator tested good again as well. Going to check the connections on the starter soon to see if they are loose. Any other...

    Help with dash lights? Brake, Rear lights and battery light

    My alternator tested good on and off the car, and this exact same issue stopped yesterday right after my blower motor failed. Do you guys still think it's the alternator, or was it a case of something in the blower motor circuit, like too much current draw, causing the warning lights to flicker?

    Heater Core kicked the bucket?

    Thanks for the great write-up and making it sound like a fairly easy task. My vents started blowing a little steam this spring so I bypassed the heater core, only to still get a coolant residue forming on the windshield interior every 3-4 days from the defroster vents (when it was on dash...

    has anyone had good success from an alternate to Dynamat?

    I used some Peal and Seal from Lowes in the hatch area and inside the rear fenders. It adhesion layer works fairly well as long as you use a roller when installing it, but overall mass is lower than Dynamat so you'll need a couple of layers to really get a thud when you give it a knuckle rap...

    hatch leak hummmmm

    I used silicon under the rear window sill trim and under the quarter window trim mount, antenna mounting point, and around the tail lamp lens. Also used some vinyl weatherstripping and redid the tail lamp gaskets. Hopefully that'll fix all the leaks. If not... well I'll cross that bridge when...

    hatch leak hummmmm

    No spoiler, nuggets, but I'll take that hatch trim off and see if that's the cause of my leak. Jay, my rear tail light gasket was leaking and letting water in. I noticed it dripping into the car from the reverse light area but didn't see any leak into the antenna well. Think I might have...

    hatch leak hummmmm

    I'm dealing with this as well and today I discovered two more leaks I can't diagnose. The first is the water under the lower trim piece that pours out when you open the hatch. The only moisture evidence is in that corner of that cover where the water drains out when you open the hatch, so I...

    Hey guys. Just wanted to formally introduce myself. I recently decided to fix up and turn my parents' old '89 Supra into a daily driver. It's normally aspirated, automatic trans, non-leather, targa... about the slowest and heaviest mid-life crisis sports car my father could think of I guess...

    Diff whine - will an oil change help?

    Well, I'm guessing the car has been like this for a while now, but my parents (who I got the car from) never noticed it. I only heard it myself when I removed the rear carpet and wood to do some R&R. Since it's a daily driver, I'm going to change the diff oil and look for signs of damage to...

    Diff whine - will an oil change help?

    Found this post on changing your diff oil in the guide on mkiiisupra.net. I'm getting the whine described in the post above. Before I take it to the shop and have the preload adjusted, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck quieting down the rear diff with a simple fluid change...

    Scion radio installed, pics of custom startup ect

    91TurboSilver - I've got an auto and the gear selector seems like it'd be in the way. What's your experience with trying to tune/change tracks when you're in 1st, 3rd, or 5th? BTW, did you have to do much trimming to the center trim piece? It looks fantastic/factory if you did!

    HELP!! Good Battery, No Start !!

    Sorry I didn't get back to ya'll sooner. I decided to park the car and refocus on my T-bird for awhile (the devil I know). Just started back on project "Daily Driver Supra" again and the issue hasn't reappeared, but I did hear a ground short causing the speakers to crackle with the key out of...

    For Speaker Sizes and Questions Click Here

    I hate bumping old threads, but i was hoping for clarification on which rear speaker locations are which size. Are the rear hatch 3.5" and the ones under the quarter window the 4T, or do I have that reversed? Thanks!

    HELP!! Good Battery, No Start !!

    Don't want to start a new thread since my issue is similar... Car ('89 n/a) failed to start when I left the store shopping over the holidays. Voltage showed 12V+ on the gauge and all acc worked great, but when I turned the key I noticed a massive voltage draw (everything goes dim, dash clock...
