Just saying hello to everyone!

Gregory Gawaran · 08-12-2007, 05:16 AM

Well to start off, Hello everyone, not new to Toyotas but certainly new to the supra. =) Picked up my MKIII about a week ago and shes almost ready to run, just need an exhaust and get it inspected.

Will post some pics as soon as I get a hold of my sisters digi cam.

Oh I may as well ask while I have my first thread open.

On the gauge cluster. There is a wierd light I have never seen while owning a Toyota. Maybe it is just a Supra thing but, on the left side of the tach a yellow light is on to what seems to look like a radiator. Any clues?

Thanks in advance!

You would probably be right that its a supposed to be a radiator. Its the low coolant light. Took me forever to figure that one out. Everyone here calls it the Birdcage.
fun stuff, and good luck w/ the car

Thanks guys, I actually found some of that info on another thread reffering to a blown head gaskets. Can someone tell me where it is suppos to be located, I dont seem to find one on mine, or its not on the usual location at least at the same place I normally find the over flow. If your looking from the front, it should sit to the left of the dizzy right?

Thanks in advance guys.

Here is a link to the Supra Handbook, it shows all the lights and gauges on the dash http://www.brandwood.net/supra/handbook/index.html . The overflow is can be found by following the hose from the radiator neck to a small plastic bottle in the front of the car on the drivers side. That is what the weird light is saying needs to be topped off, not the radiator.
