    Dare I Sell My Supra......2JZUL8R?

    I sold my car 7 months ago, and from time to time I miss it, but I'm glad I did. I was offered a lot of money for my car back in '08 and passed on it because I was attached, but I should have taken it, I could have had $2k more in the pocket. There are only so many people that can afford to...

    brake upgrade mk3 questions

    I had ARZ front and back brakes, and I've never driven (er, stopped) with anything else like them. Without a question, they were the best mod on my car

    not impressed...

    could you make more power? Well, of course you could have, but to do so you would have to factor in a ton of things that you can't see right now. You would have had to spend a lot more money (A LOT) to do it the right way, or if you did it the cheap way, you wouldn't enjoy it as much because it...

    Thanks, and you're right in many different ways. Got the money I had hoped for, sure, but I also had a blast with the car both driving it and building it with my kids as well.

    Well, looks like I'm out of the Supra scene

    this was my second build, but by far the most extensive. After my youngest son moves out in about 3 years, I will take on another project. Right now Im torn between Factory Five's MK4 roadster (A/C Cobra) and GTM. I'm leaning towards the Cobra, I've always loved them and my wife likes it too.

    Well, looks like I'm out of the Supra scene

    My car sold last night and after talking to the buyer, it' a done deal. It's been a bitter-sweet couple of days. I've had a ton of fun building the car, along with a bit of pain too. While I didn't completely want to sell the car, it was just time. It has served its purpose so now its time to...

    powersteering+ other issues

    And you drive 45 miles each way four times a week (1440 miles/mo) with faulty brakes and steering, all the while worried more about your personal comfort with the lack of the A/C instead safety of others on the road.

    Is this the beginning of a BHG?

    go to NAPA and buy their BHG test kit. It's a chemical test and will give you a definitive answer. Blue = good, green = bad.

    True, but the deposits are only masking a damaged seal that needs to be replaced
