Default Maintenance

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, Supra's and Turbos.

I purchased a 1989 Supra Turbo Targa about 4 weeks ago with about 129,000. After putting in a charcoal canister (someone took out) I will be attempting to pass smog again. I tried and passed through the tailpipe but not the visual since the charcoal canister was missing.

I just want to make sure the car is running good before I even attempt to do any modding, so here's my question:

I plan on doing a tune-up.....well actually having my mechanic do the major stuff so I was wondering if I covered everything.

This is what I think I need:

Timing belt
Tensioner
The other major belts
Water pump
Spark plugs (anyone have the specific part #)
Spark plug wires
Thermostat

I'm sure I'm missing alot of other things. Anyone want to chime in and tell me what I'm missing. And are there any websites out there that would give me good prices for oem stuff.

Should I do the head gasket and get the ARP studs while I'm at it? I've been reading alot on this forum, good info. Right now I just want a good stock running car without any problems.

Thanks in advance.

Default Supra FAQ and websites

Suggest you start with the "Supra FAQ" and specifically the one titled "Helpful Supra Websites" that was added by mrnickleye on 12-02-05. You will find links to lots of documentation and useful info about Supras.

There is also a lot of good info (historical and technical) in Wikipedia under Toyota Supra at:

Toyota Supra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks, I'll double check it. I thought I looked on those sites, some of which were down and it seems like most were for after market parts. I'm looking for OEM parts, but I'll double check. I might be getting this site confused with something else. Thanks. Oh, and I've read all or most of the stuff on the head gasket issues, I really don't want to deal with that just yet. I know it's something I'll have to deal with in the future.
