got to give you props on all the work on the car. looking and thinking about buying a 89 turbo i just found and taking it away from the guy that knows nothing about his supra. i dont know much but want to put time into working and learning about them.

sorry for bringin up an old post but what are historic tags?

Historic tags for MD will exempt your vehicle from emissions and inspections. The catch is that it must be at-least 20 years old and it cannot be driven every day.

plus insurance is cheaper

. i have the tags for two years, after which i think ill just get regular tags, sell my acura, and drive the supra everyday. im getting some more small things in for the supra. almost have the gauges in. when im done ill take some pics. im also planning to replace my hg and install some headstuds so i can turn the boost up and not worry about anything.

did a lil bit this last week. i installed an oil filter relocation kit along with these:

white on during the day and red at night. prosport ftw. and something i discovered installing the oil filter relocation kit, coolant in the oil. looks like im going to be replacing my hg, luckily i was planning to do it already

Nice, could you get a pic of the entire dash with the new guages in the shot?

Looks as if they fit pretty good.

Sucks bout your HG, but good to hear your getting a new one.

ill try to remember to get a shot the whole dash. my camera is being sent in to be worked on, it eats batteries for some reason. i think i also need to replace my battery in my car; after installing the gauges my battery kept draining. im ordering a felpro hg kit, timing belt and tensioner from my buddy at advanceauto and arp headstuds and a catch can from ftmfw driftmotion. so after i get everything and do some more research ill dig into the motor. still needing a paint job; my friend is gonna help paint my integra, and if its decent i might have him help paint the supie
