I'm cracking open the oil pan and taking the rod caps off to inspect it myself. I hope the crank journal is okay, but, like I said, Chrysler 2.7's have suffered much louder rod knock than my 7M and yet have gotten away with in-car repairs. Will notify with updates about the bottom end condition...

One of the below: 1) Buy a recirculation fitting for the SSQV and recirculate it into the accordian intake hose connected to the compressor inlet. The 7M-GTE comes with a recirculation fitting from factory. 2) Remove the SSQV vacuum line and plug it. This will disable the SSQV from working and...

Hi guys, long time no see My 7M-GTE is showing signs (sounds) of minor rod knock. I feel I may be able to salvage the original rods and crankshaft by just replacing the bearings because the knock, though distinct, is rather faint. Has anybody tried to change the bearings with the engine still...

The new paint looks absolutely gorgeous! But I can understand the frustration of hit and runs on our cars. My mate had his white A70 mashed up in the same location in a Tim Hortons lot by some tosser. The car was for sale at the time, too. I've got a few dents and gouges on my car during...

I just took the car for a brief drive down the road and decided to give the brake pedal a a few pumps then quick hard stomp. I heard a popping sound and and then there was no brake force at all to stop :) I drove home and looked underneath to find brake fluid leaking from a line right...

Hi fellow Supra addicts I've got a brake pedal that goes to the floor. I doubt it's air in the system because I spent quite some time and fluid on bleeding it. The pedal just progressively goes to the floor in a span of 3 seconds and brake force is very weak. My first guess is that it's the...

Yup the fuel pump resistor was bypassed by previous owner so I was curious about its necessity. About the grounds: the intake manifold ground is good. I actually went around and verified as many 12v grounds as I could reach and they all checked out OK. I replaced the CEL lamp to no effect...

Top of the morning, SM. I've got two questions regarding my non-starting car, an MA70 turbo. First is that I'm getting no spark, no fuel pressure, and my Check Engine Light is non-functioning. My first guess is that the ECU is knackered, but can anyone here confirm my suspicion? If so, what...

Hi Supramania I'm Amon from Toronto, Canada. I'm British and do enjoy a wide range of hobbies (old fashioned cars, touring car racing, snooker, footie, and of course plenty of drinking). I have a pair of non-roadworthy MA70 chassis; transplanted everything, including the 7M-GTE, from one...

I have a Black MA70. I think Black on a car looks utterly horrendous for a few good reasons. The 70Supra is able to pull it off a little better because of the textured gunmetal accents and lighting.
