i have a supra sitting in my garage its not mine but it is still there thats why i am here i like imports but i like domestics better thats all but supras are cool i just like v8's better

I still don't see why you're here. Just because a Supra is in your garage, and it's not yours. If you're interested in turboing your mustang, try to find a mustang forum that has some info on that. There'll be guys there that have already done it.

nah dude i dont want to i just came here to ask a question about what they topped out at plus my dad doesnt ever get on a computer so this is a good site to get info on for his car, like when he blew the intercooler sensor or something he spent 600 dollars before they acually found the problem at toyota so im here to make sure he dont get ripped off again.

Ahh, so it's your dad's Supra. I gotcha.

sbm713 12-28-2006 04:21 AM

ya its dads but it is a blast to drive except when it is raining then you get drenched cause the targa leaks but ooh well guess it comes with the territory

He needs to replace the seals. I need to do the same with my 88 Prelude.

how much will that crap cost??

Monkey 12-28-2006 04:28 AM

I don't know. Most of the time they're not too expensive, but there are occasions that some parts places will rape you on that stuff, especially the dealership. Check around and get prices. Find which one is the cheapest, and which ones actually have them and can get them. Some places will have a listing for some parts, but can't actually get them. I still haven't figured that one out, yet. I'm a mechanic, and i see that shit all the time. "Well, we have a listing for that part, but we can't actually get it for you." WTF, then why did you tell me that you have a listing for it if you can't actually get it for me??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Know what i mean?

yea tell me about getting raped dad paid toyota something like 3600 dollars for a new wireing harness and new intercooler sensor and a few other parts he said he was about ready to give it to the junkyard when he heard the total haha

You don't necessarily have to go back to the dealer to get certain parts. A harness, yeah, but some other parts you can get from some parts houses. I wouldn't deal with Afro Zone. ALL of their parts are shit. From the batteries to the starters to the alternators. It's all garbage. If you have Bumper to Bumper parts stores aroud where you live, try those guys. O'Reilly's is okay. I'm not super crazy about them. Advanced is somewhat okay, also. I'm not a big fan of the do it yourself parts places. There's a reason why they sell you parts so cheap. They do buy in bulk, but their parts are extremely cheap. Plus most of the parts they sell came from stuff that was turned in for a core so it's most likely a reman. I hate remans. They're no better off than when they were new. I will always buy new parts. Never remaned.
