supra Mechanics in DFW - big Problems!!

[faysalm]

Hi.

i am having some wierd problems with my supra. I do know a little bit about car, but there is no way in hell i am messing with the 7M ... i gave it to a guy who Claims he knows a Lot about cars ... and now its all messed up. I think its just the timing and vacuum leak, but with my 12 hour job i have no time

so i need a gOOOD mechanic here in the dallas / fortworth area to work on the car. the car has arp bolts, Greddy HG ... Hardpipes and all that shiznit ... just need to keep it running and strong. If you all are interested drop me a line. I am willing to pay good for this. I am sure some Supra lover wants to make some money working on his/her passion!!

A guy who claims he knows a lot about cars...so do readers of Motor Trend. Good luck though.

I would contact Christian (supraguy88t). His shop is in Garland and imho he is the guy to go to.

Chris

p.s. I would pm him on Supraforums bc idk if he checks his pm's much here.

What problems did this "guy who knows alot about cars" make worse?

Hmmm ... i just remembered. I think i have christians number. Ill call him.

man the engine just seems to idle crazy ... the car has NO power. Timing seems ok to me, i did check it. BOV is blowing air OUT on idle, its a new hks ssqv. all vacuum lines seem ok ... i have no Frekin idea whats wrong with it.

Installed new HG, and block is rebuilt.

THanks yall

Well, if you want to save some money, just post here dude. As fellow supra owners we are more than willing to help one another out.

Don't forget to post pics too if you do, those will help immensely.

^^ That's the thing tho... seems like he's strapped for time (I know how that is). How does someone eventually let someone else mess with their Sup (especially on things U can do yourself)? That's one of my biggest hangups... However, my car's over at Christian's now.

He's the only local I'll trust with it (not anything personal against the other guys), but if I can't get something done myself, he's the only one with almost as much MKIII knowledge as me, but maybe has a lil' more time :stickpoke

Give him a call... he might even walk U thru a couple of things, before you try to make the drive or get it towed that far.

just talked to Christian .... taking the car there on Saturday.

And i WOULD try to do it myself, at the shop .. i have ALL the tools because we have a lil dealership here ... but honestly .. our mechanic doesnt know shit what hes tlking about when it comes to supra turbos.

I work full time at verizon, and the only reason i have been able to keep this supra uptil now is working full time. I am like fresh out of school and paying bills is a PITa!!

I did get referred to christian long time ago and then somehow i forgot ... but alls good. I can help him out too, because we have a LOT of toyotas here.
