Q: 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo, Repairs?
how much would it cost to fix a blown head gasket and oil leak on a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo. I can do the work at my school shop. so how much would it cost excluding labor and including labor? Thanks!
*I don't know much about cars.
A: You are going to need a head gasket set which will include all the gaskets you will need to pull the head. Probably $100-150 for the set. If the oil leak is from the head covers or the head gasket that will fix that too. Answer above for a shop at 500 is pretty close - since probably a 5 hour job (and that is for a fast trained technician). There are lots of plumbing, intake, exhaust, turbo, wires etc. to remove to get at the head.
If you "don't know much about cars" this is a hell of a first job to tackle! you better have a really good shop teacher or get an experienced tech to help you.
Another thing you will need to check the head for flatness, warping and pitting around the blown spot. you might have to have a machine shop true up the head by machining a little off the face. DON'T take off any more than just enough to clean it up. (Maybe .25 mm - 0.010 inch. That might cost $50-75.
if you tackle this project - i suggest the following: take photos before you start and as you go. Also make a list of every component you remove line by line. Each hose, cover, wire etc. When you finally get the head off and the gasket replaced - start at the BOTTOM of the list and check off each item as you reinstall it.
You also should get a service manual and a GOOD torque wrench because you will have to follow a carefull head bolt tightening sequence or the new gasket wont hold.
Q: 1989 toyota supra Alarm problem?
i have a 1989 toyota supra 3.0 non turbo and it wont start the alarm had gone off when i locked all the doors when i went to open it from the outside with the key the alarm went off for no reason so i stuck the key in the ignition and it stopped sounding now that i'm trying to start it it wont start so i locked it again from the outside and unlock it to disable the alarm but the car wont start now so if u can help me out i would really appreciate it
A: the small micro switch on the drivers door lock would corrode from water on the electrical pins and not shut the alarm off. Try this, go to the passenger side and unlock from that door, then get in and see if it starts. If it does, then the issue is the switch on the driver side. There were two types of switch-one is on the lock cylinder,the other type is on the door lock. Toyota parts will need your production date and VIN number to get the right one. Good Luck, T&T

Q: 1989 Toyota Supra im guessing thats Mk3...?
Okay, so this is my second question . my 1989 getting HP and Torque. a stock mk3- STOCK to 500 + how much would it cost????
A: 1986.5-1992 is MkIII.
Stock to 500whp, will cost you around $10,000, depending on how you go about it, where you get the parts, etc and so forth.
My build has set me back around $16,000 so far; but that's because I went with as much top-grade parts as I could, instead of taking the cheap route.
Q: 1989 Toyota Supra??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

And if i were to race against a MR 2 : 2nd Gen who would win ? of course MR2 beecause its lighter?
A: I think you should get yourself a Toyota Corolla.
Q: Questions to ask when buying a used car?
i am looking at a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo. What are some questions i should ask before going to look at it? Thanks!
A: Make sure the title has no lien holder on it. Even if the seller says it's been paid off.
If he lost the title, then do the paper work at the DMV or AAA Auto Club with the seller. Both of you there together. That way, everything gets signed and completed. And then pay him in cash or money order after transfer is complete.
In Calif you must produce a smog certificate that is no older than 90 days. And it's the sellers responsibility to get it smogged according to DMV rules. But of course that's negotiable, if seller is lazy and wants to take $50 off the purchase price, then it better pass smog....(not all states require smog for a transfer. )
Q: Should I buy this toyota supra?
1875 dollars.
120k miles
1989 model
hardtop convertible
but
recently went to pick it up and the power steering had broken down. should i still buy this car? and give a reason =]
A: they are cool cars with some real potential to be quarter mile missiles.
Do you like the car? is the car in good overall condition for the year?
No used car is flawless, and obviously a cheap car is no expection, there will be things that break and go wrong, that is what happens when you don't buy new. The question is wether or not it's worth it to you. Some people will tell you no it's not worth it, others will tell you it's definatly worth it. It really depends on your comfort with fixing things, and spending some money on it. Look it over, see how much work it's really going to need, and then make your decision based on your finances and how you feel about the car. If it's something you REALLY want, it's worth more to you than it is to someone who doesn't care about supra's. Personally, I would probably buy the car anyways.
If the problem is a new one that wasn't in the original description, see if you can get a couple hundred bucks nocked off because of the problem. It's worth a shot.
