If we get tags on her by then, I'd be down to roll. I'm sure my teammates would be also. -Avi

latest video: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Putting-the-Supra-back_713669.htm this one has footage of us putting the car back together after paint.

Thanks bro! I'm sorry we didn't get to check out your car more, we just had so much work to do! Sucks we really didn't even get to check out any of the cars. I see you already got your $2010 car lined up! haha. We've already thought about a few cars, but it's too soon to tell. We'd like to do...

^I guess the 2j swap will come sooner then :D it's not a daily driven car and we needed as much power as possible on a very, very small budget of 2 grand and every bit helped. besides, how much dampening can we give our 19 year old stock crank pulley credit for considering the rubber is hard...

Just FYI: CPS's are the devil. Anyways, I want to thank my team, this forum and everyone at grassroots for another amazing event. I can't wait to go back next year. As for the supra, we did better AND worse than last year, but we stole the show. Sadly (but fortunately) though, I think we have...

hey guys heres the update: The cps worked flawlessly and the car felt great but traction was an issue on the dragstrip. We ended up with a 14.06 spinning through first no matter what. Our 60' wasn't great and we are confident that with some drag radials it will be a low low 13 sec car if not...

we need a CPS ASAP. Call us if you have one in the Gainesville, FL area that we can either borrow or buy. 240-997-9506. -David

I just have to point out that in vid part 2 of paint, we started working at 9:30AM... 18hrs straight! Minus pizza time at lunch, haha. It was a loooong weekend and I for one am still recovering, BUT we have too much to do, and only 14 days to do it in. Sooo we pretty much won't be sleeping any...

without further ado: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Intro-to-OMGWTFBBQs-Supra_708764.htm - Intro http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Part-one-of-MK3-supra_708743.htm - Pt 1 of paint http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Part-two-of-MK3-supra-and_708752.htm - pt 2 of paint part 3 coming soon.

hmm I had a dsm for a while and a trick to keep the intercooler pipes from blowing off is to spray the pipe with hair spray then slip the coupler over and tighten the clamp. I'm sure t-bolt clamps will do the trick as well. Also, if his pipes aren't beaded then that may be a problem. I had quite...

Edwin should be putting up a video soon of our progress. Next we need to reassemble and clean up the motor and do our wire tuck. Stay tuned for more updates. We leave for competition on the Oct. 7.
