What did you do to your supra today? Pics
- Thread starter boostinsupra
- Start date
I found out my battery is bad. Time for an Optima.
But on the brighter side. Got in the MKIII Key Chains!

got new seat adjustment switch. mine was a bit faded, wanted fresher look and bought this oil cooler set up from pre89 supra. plan to run it for trany. spent 3 hours to clean it. now i could even sleep with it 
and spent half day haunting for HOLSET turbo. all i could find is bunch of WH1E. I've heard its similar to HX35 but also heard it would be laggy so will prob stay away from it.
what else i did? drove almost 100kms in citty with supra insead DD eclipse when haunted that turbo so used a lot of fuel as my MPG in city is close to 12MPG. have no idea why its so bad. on highway its ~23/24 but i guess its common problem so i guess i will go for HX40. will see.

Today I removed the cheap Faze brand boost gauge and EGT gauge out of my pillar pod with the intention on installing my HKS gauges in their place, but come to find out, the pillar pods holes aren't big enough to fit at the moment

Dude, where did you get your key??? I've been looking for a pre89 plastic Toyota key forever!

well, i pulled the starter out to go get it warrantied. they said they had one but of course when i got there they said they didn't. i also tried to make a bracket to hold down my new small battery, but that didn't work out that well either.
i was thinking of installing a new positive cable from the battery to the starter. has anyone done this? if so, should i use any special kind of cable?

My ABS light came on before it did at idle I felt a weird sort of vibration until I increased the revs a bit it went away but after I started driving it went away completely and then the ABS light came on like 10min afterwards. Brakes still feel fine but any ideas on how to go about this?

I love HKS stuff as well, if I ever find an HKS set of 1J twins I would murder a baby to get my hands on them
I'm diggin the TRD key chain as well, TRD is my other vice when it comes to this car

I used to have those! Sold it awhile back cause I was low on money. Seriously regret it. And early gen VPC and analog turbo timer -_-

I'm going to end up having new faces printed up in PSI and *F, I got it along with a VPC and a gear indicator box. I got it all off eBay.
Which HKS pieces do you have?
I've got the TEMS controller as well
Just got first step in stripping the factory paint off stock wheels, looks a whole lot better than baked on brake dust. And its past midnight.

Nope, not crazy. Pretty substantial upgrade over most MK3s. Makes a little less power than my car but a boatload more torque. Power issue can be solved for a couple hundred bucks, no big deal.
