He didn't put in a new water pump etc, but the radiator has actually been replaced since when he had the head off. I did that myself. The old one had cracked and the car overheated once, after which it was misfiring, and we took it to the mechanic again. He did a compression test and said the...

okay, so it's been a long time coming but the head's finally off. It's kinda odd though as the gasket doesn't look blown in the least. In light of this, I've got a question: A few months ago the timing belt went, and I had my mechanic fix it. In the process the head had to be remachined, and...

thanks! always rather nervewracking when you don't know what a part's supposed to do, I think... so much room for error.

alright well after a few weeks of sitting in my garage waiting for me to get started on her I couldn't stand to let the car sit any longer. Blew a headgasket a month or so back during an overheat that my mechanic and I think was caused by a cracked radiator. The car's an '88 7mGE, had a couple...

my first supra was an 87 turbo so I know where you're coming from... and as I said earlier at some point I'll do the n/a-T conversion but for now I'll see what I can get from my naturally aspirated little 88.

Roundfinger you mind giving me a link to that HKS dual tip?

have been looking at the Tanabe medallion touring catback, but can't seem to find one that comes from Tanabe to fit the MKIII. Anyone know where I might be able to find one?

yeah yeah I'm an N/A but I have plans when I have the cash to go for more power/maybe a n/a-T conversion. need to know a lot more first, however. This one's my daily driver, and I get hassled for the loudness... down the line when I build it up will the quieter exhaust cause me any problems? I...

oh and another question: will quietening the exhaust like this reverse the small efficiency gain that you get out of the louder muffler? I'd prefer not to do so if that's the case.. if that is the case, can I quiet it without the efficiency loss? will the resonator help with that? I'm not too...

I've got a HKS Hi-Power muffler on my 88 which the previous owner put on, and it's got a great loud tone. for me, though, I much prefer a quiet sound, almost unnoticable if you will. I'm looking to replace it, since it's in the garage for a BHG job anyway. I don't know where to go to get the...

honestly, I basically just need a parts car with the front end in GOOD condition. In the houston area, does anyone have one or know about one? I'll get a more detailed list and post it shortly.

thanks for all the input! just out of curiousity what'd be the best way to find an older amp?

yea thinking about adding a couple subs in the future. not a fan of overpowering bass, but I like it to be present. I'm a musician myself, so I tend to want my audio quality to go above and beyond what is needed. thanks for the input so far.

hey. just got a sony Xplod head unit, and infinty 4022i's for the doors, 5022i's for the rear. soon as I have the money going to get an amp for the setup. not sure what amp will complement this setup best, looking for advice. Thanks, Sebastian

I've heard a lot about the 'stereo imaging' thing reading around this forum, and I'm just wondering, considering I've never heard it w/out rear speakers, does it create the same effect? what do the rear one's add, etc. j/w if it's worth it to buy all four or save some money/ go for a better...

'ello all. I've got an 87 w/ the stock system in it, plus an acoustic CD-300 deck from the early nineties, and I'm looking to put something really nice into it. Was thinking about going w/ just some straight infinities, but figured I'd post here and see what some of the recomendations are...

here's some pics of her, from when I went to get her in ohio;

'ello everybody, my name is Sebastian and I'm 16 from The Woodlands. I fell in love with supras awhile ago when my dad was telling me stories about the three he'd had- and when it came time for me to get a car I knew I had to have one. Spent about two months looking for one and eventually...
