im only 2 years older then you.

the hardest and smartest part was just adding a fuse. I hate seeing wires I hate things plugged into my cig lighter.

yea total install time.. 1/2 beer. and the fuse and a bunch of wires and things costs under 5 dollars,

if your talkin like normal fuses used in the fuse box i have a shit load of em lol. aww so 85 was a good year then? lol. my 85 supra was pretty powerful... course not like my 87

but my 87 will be more powerful soon enough... someone at my work wants to race lol. they got a 07 VOLVO S40.. stock there power and torque is a lil more then what 87 supra is stock. but not by much with that turbo though argh. stupid volvo and there stupid turbo t5's

Just my 2p on the paint (and entirely my own biased opinion), but I think black is the only colour for an MA70. Plain black like stock's fine but BMW DiamantSchwartzMetallik is just gorgeous!

Oh, a couple of pics of the reason for my bias...

i do agree that black is the best color for having smoked out side markers and clear signals. also cool for tint.

WELL... I just got the car thursday. never took it over 80 Mph.. only driven it 244 miles (literally) and now it blew a hole in the side of the engine. supra's are my dream cars..... and now my dream is gone. hopefully ill figure something out. and the guy that sold me the car said it had rebuilt engine and tranny with under 10k. but he wont respond to text or calls..... oh well on the head gasket suggestion... what good a HG gunna do now with a huge hole in the side. lol. .... if wanted ill keep all the supra lovers updated.

Wow... so you literally threw a rod out the side of the block? That's terrible. Do you have a garage? If you've got a place and the money it may (already) be time to do a GTE swap.

See... good out of bad.

I'm really bummed for ya though. That sucks big time. I'd like more details on what happened, but you won't really know until you get the engine out and apart... if you're planning on even going to the trouble.

id like to go through the trouble lol. from what i told my mechanic he said it sounds like the oil pump went out and went out really fast. cuz like yesterday it was fine. not one prob. all fluids were good. gauges good. then on way home i noticed the oil level seemed lil low. and i heard a sound. i stopped checke oil. added a little bit of oil. then about 2 miles down the road it happend.

lol if i could get a GTE for a decent price your damn right i would. but would all the stock supra parts handle the added power? also i gotta wait to find out what the previous owner wants to do. cuz im making payments to him on it and i didnt even drive it hard or anything and im seeing if he is gunna be a dick or not. now i gotta drive my parents CRX to work. ARGH.

o and yeah i got a place to do work on my car. i got friends lol.

wow thats a bummber. you can get an ebay motor for a little over a grand.. I never bought an engine from ebay or know anyone who has. Just saying I seen them on there all the time.. what did the oil pressure gauge look like just before the catastrophic failure. do 89's have oil pressure gauges? If they do the normal is just at 40 or the next lowest line depending on temp.

for instance in the summer time My gauge is just at the 40 mark never above it. and atm right now its about 30 degrees outside and its down between the two.
