Just bought an 82 MK2 that was someone's project car. Having trouble with some wiring problems. Is this forum still active?

Sure is. Welcome

Thank you, I'm sure y'all will be hearing from me.

Greetings & Salutations !!

Check out this site for 1986 MKII workshop manual:

MK2 TSRM On-Line

Although be aware that 1982 is slightly different than later years regarding wiring.

not as active as it used to be, but you should still get some help!

We're not the most active forum, but there's not many of these cars left to talk about. We had pretty much discussed and resolved every problem a mk2 could have and attempted every possible modification by about 2008. About that time, mk2s had fully depreciated and we had a rash of teenagers coming on board to ask the same old questions we'd answered a thousand times and we got to be rather impatient with such newbies. Those members who couldn't handle it have mostly moved on, probably too busy chastising their own adult children to get a job and move out of the house rather than waste time with automotive forums. The Millenials pretty much finished wrecking and demolishing the remaining stock of "marginal" mk2s and the values are now such that today's newbies have to be pretty serious and have the wherewithall to actually do things the right way. Most newbies now tend to pop on and off the forum, using search to find solutions in the archives. But those of us old-timers who remain have mellowed in our old age. We know the search function can lead you down a million rabbit holes if you don't know the exact search terms to input so if your answer doesn't pop up in the first page of results, go ahead and ask. Now the newbies have to be patient with us because we can't always remember how we fixed something twenty years ago.

Yep, people are still here, although I've been remiss in posting here since we moved here.

I promise I'll start posting again now that we're FINALLY all settled in.

Welcome to the weird and whacky world of the 82's.
A lot of parts are 82 specific (ex. vacuum dizzy, headlight relays etc.)... just an FYI.
Lot's of great info here. This community is unreal. I'm so glad to be back after hanging around MK4 owners for a couple years

'82s is the only year for separate specific manuals for the Celica Supra...ie Engine, Body and Chassis, Emissons, Auto Transmission, Maintenance etc etc...
