    Goodbye to the Supra community.

    Well, it's been a fun 2 1/2 years here with the supra community, but I now have other, more important, priorities in my life. With all the "common" problems the MK3 supra has, I've never felt 100% sure about going long distances with my car for fear of something else going wrong (even though...

    Anyone auto-x their supra in the rain? I might...

    Has anyone auto-x'ed their supra in the rain? If so, how bad was the understeer in the rain? I'm using MKIV TT wheels with Yokohama ES100's 280 in the back and Yokohama AVS Sports 180 in the front, but I don't know how they'll feel on a wet course? Any autocrossers' feedback will be...

    So, I built some hardpipes....and ported an elbow...

    I love how they turned out. The piping is 2.5" and all mandrel bends. I may even contemplate making cheaper intercooler piping kits to sell if the demand is there. Anyway, here are the pics... After I grinded the welds down and painted them.... This was while I was fitting it...

    Meet for the Summer TN, NC, GA...etc...

    Let's organize a meet for the summer. I was thinking something like either going to Atlanta to have a MK3 supra dyno weekend or heaven forbid road atlanta. However, if the group attending isn't so strictly car oriented, a meet in Chattanooga, TN where they have the Aquarium might be nice...

    Heat soak questions.

    Ever since I purchased my current 89 turbo I've had small issues with heat soak and idle. If I park the car for about 30 minutes and start it up, she will have a low and lumpy idle between 450-600 rpms. I just give it some gas because I figure it's just vaporized fuel that hasn't vacated the...

    I learned how to weld so I made an exhaust. (56k beware)

    Over spring break (last week) most college students go to the beach or visit family. Me? Oh, no. I learned how to weld with a MIG welder and I created a 3" exhaust. A nice view of the muffler. I used nice 3 bolt flanges. Oh, no! I'm not running a cat. Finally, here's...
