    Help me find a thread, if you will

    I recall seeing a rather informative and inclusive thread about what should be done during a bhg job other than the head gasket itself. Fittingly, I'm pretty sure it was called "What to do while the head is off" (duh). Anyways, no strings I put into the search bar will bring it up, so if you...

    Idea for a little project car

    To the OP: Motor and transmission mounts are both the same, all you really need to do is mate the harnesses. Go to tercelonline.com for more info, and this thread specifically http://board.tercelonline.com/viewthread.php?tid=14963

    Coolant Temp. Question

    Frank: Yeah, the car came with an aftermarket temp gauge when I purchased it. It appears to be some cheap autozone gauge.

    Coolant Temp. Question

    I hope I don't get roasted for this, as I've searched with all the terms I can think of, but what is the average operational temp of the coolant? How hot is too hot, and how hot is critically hot? Degrees in fahrenheit preferred.

    I have a Carfax account so....

    I don't know how I'll feel about the answers, but if you're still doing this, could I get a report for the VIN JT2MA70L9J0100870? Thanks.

    to use? or not to use?

    First off, you should've searched. Second, this information is in the owner's manual, and easily accessible on the forums. Third, 7MGE needs NGK #BCPR5EP11. 7MGTE needs NGK#BCPR6EP-N8.

    Machinist needed

    I'm looking to turn my Supra into a reliable daily driver, and as such, I'm in need of some head work. Is there anyone you can recommend in the S.F. Bay Area? Please keep in mind I'm looking for reliability not performance, so any "tuner shops" or whatever is not what I'm looking for. Just a...

    Seatbelt hangers

    When I purchased my car, it was missing the lock bezels and seatbelt hangers. At the junkyard today, I got both of those, but the color doesn't match. I've seen a thread on here where someone molded their own seatbelt guides, but now I can't find it. I'm pretty sure the thread had info on how to...

    88 Supra Purchase

    So I'm a new member here, and my only previous post was asking for tips on problems to look out for when purchasing these cars. Well, I decided to let a pro take a look, so I had a full inspection done down at a local Toyota Pro shop. The results are: A/C not cooling - I knew this going into...

    Prospective Purchase

    Like i stated, I'm in love with the body style, not the performance aspect. I don't care about speed as long as it's mechanically sound. Is there anything that wasn't covered in the link that I should be wary of...

    Prospective Purchase

    Hi there. I've always loved the look of the third gen Supras, and I've recently come into the position to purchase one. I plan on having it examined by a mechanic (toyota specific), but I would like to know if there are any immediate deal breakers. I've looked around and already read through...
