Newbie: tips on maintaining mk3 supra myself

SupraHead · 05-07-2013, 07:34 PM

Hello guys,

Its a toyota supra mk3 1989 turbo. So i got up on my lazy butt, and asked myself......how do i do this? how do i do that? i dont want to be those people who take their car to their shops for maintainence i want to do it myself. like the Head gaskets, the air filter, oil change, brakes, coolant, the a/c, and etc. i never went to school, i havent picked up a book, but i know i have to. parts are indeed expensive, and so is labor. I dont have my own shop, nor do i have tools. i wanted to fix simple problems....

my question is, where should i begin? what will i need? where do i get my supplies to get started? and is it hard to work on the supra?

oh and when people said i drive, my car makes a vacuumm noise, like a wooooooooosh not a blow off valve. its maybe the turbo + engine?

-thanks guys !
