A mate of mine has a TP Magna which about 2 months ago the automatic gearbox died, giving him no forward or reverse gears. Me and another mate decided to lend him a hand in replacing the gearbox. Well after two attempts, the 3rd and final automatic gearbox finally gave up within the month of...

So i'll go first, these are about 6 months old (must take new ones) and the one with hubcaps on was taken the day i got it. not alot has changed that u can see cause most of the work has been mechanical. but hopefully within the...

Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone has any experiance with turbocharging an Astron II EFI. I have a few quesions. 1) What turbo was used, and did you need a new exhauset manifold 2) How did you get a vacum reading for a BOV (Did you drill into the plenum chamber) 3) What PSI is it safe...
Hello, Question for you all - I've got my TN magna, does anyone see any problems with me getting a set of TE (or later) hubs and bolting them on. Also will need the brake bits from it aswell. Then I'll have better brakes as well as the 5 stud pattern. I'm also waiting to find out more, in NZ...
I have an aging 89 magna, with EFI. It has been a work horse since 1989 when it was bought. It has done nearly 250,000km, and alot of those towing a van. The only thing that has gone on it the whole time, has been two altinators, due to the place very close to the exhuast manifold, one...
Hi, I've got a TM 5spd, ULP model. I think my exhaust system is in need of an overhaul the cat collapsed a while ago and now one of the mufflers has gone. Any suggestions on what a good sytem comprises of? I'm looking for extractors without a lot of luck, if anyone could help me with...
Greetings All, I really, really need am original TP Magna Owners manual. If anyone has one they're not fussed about keeping I'd will be very grateful. We need to show a specific feature to the courts so it must be a TP manual even though the TM-TN are supposedly the same. Many thanks in...

hi, is the yellow economy light affected by the manifold vacuum, sorta like the "economy" gauges in old commodores and the like, or is there a sensor somewhere that reads the fuel/air mixture??? recently cleared the brake booster vacuum line of carbon (on manifold) my old man played with the...
Thanks guys for your help. I found the problem, turns out the module in the dizzy was on it's way out. Being linked to the computer, it was sending a wrong message and stuffing up the electrics that operate the idling circuit. This was all found with a $50 digital multimeter and a gregorys workshop...

My car has a rough idle, but its strange as it isnt constant. If you listen the car will rev and every so often, irregularly, its like one cylinder fires bigger than the rest, could the injector be sticking open? It inly revs a few rpm higher for a split sec (one cyl) I was thinking it may be...

Oki doki, Im just about to buy a shitty bomb of some sort for around 600 dollars so i can work on it to gain a bit more experiance when it comes to motors. I have a very limited knowledge atm and though this would be a good chance to give it a go. I am thinking of getting a cheap TM / TP...
Hi I read a post in another thread about the V3000 in NZ. I did a bit of looking around and sure enough I found a picture of one. It's base on the TN but with styling cues more like a late model toyota cressida YUK. But I was curious when i noticed it has a 3 litre motor ?? Does anyone know...

g day folks i got a Tn elante and its my first car, had it a fair while now, i love it! but i want more from it, the engine seems to be a good one as its been reliable so far (its efi). The only prob i have had with it so far is the alternator but i replaced that with a 33$ one from a wreckers....
Greetings. :) I have a small problem with my TP. The glode behind the air-conditioning controls etc has gone but I can't get to it to replace it. When I got close, I came across these wonderful screws that I couldn't remove because the spiral part of the screw goes into an infinite loop at the...
