my girlfriend and i are the proud owners of a 1987 sports roof supra australian delivered 3 previous owners with 187000 kys on the clock B)
i will be looking in the near future to fit up a 5 speed out of a turbo as the gearbox is stronger this by the sound of it should be straight forward as i have spent the last 4 hours going through your forum looking at other posts
for information on our car and advice on some of the comon problems
i need help with a few things please in regards to the tems suspention the lights on the dash do not light up i have pulled apart the dash and removed the lights hooked them up to battery power and they work but when fitted back into the dash no go
any ideas please
2 the fuel consumption on this car is bad we only get about 380 to 400 kys out of the tank is this normal and with the car sitting on cruze control at 110 kph the revs are sitting on 3000 rpm is this good bad or normal
3 is there anyone out there that can help me with a factory workshop manual for this supra as i cant get one from toyota and aftermarket is a no go also :angry:
4 i do have the same bubbling problem with the cooling system and will take the advice of burping the system shortly but i still have this problem with it the car is fitted with a recovery system and unfortunatly when cold it does not suck the water back into the radiator this could be to do with the air in the system and i hope this fixes it i have made sure all hoses are sealed replaced the radiator cap and put some radiator stopleak in and this has fixed 90 % of the problem i just hope that the burping fixes the rest of it
5 this one is tricky when on cruze control and driving at speed sometimes the cars idle will start to faulter and then all of a sudden the cruze will just disengage this happens on long trips only and is a pain in the ass :angry:
thankyou for your forum it has been very helpful i will keep in touch and look forward to all who reply to this keep up the good work happy motoring
