    Mods to do while whole car is taken apart?

    LOL we're actually planning on removing as much sound deadening material as possible... I like really raw visceral cars more so than comfy GTs.

    S366 alternative?

    Does anybody know whether the S360 or S362 has the same sort of high-pitched diesel truck whine that the S366 has? I know selecting a turbo based on the sound is a little bit rice but what can I say... The S366 sounds sick but my horsepower goal here is 400-450, so it might make sense to go a...

    Mods to do while whole car is taken apart?

    My buddy is gonna take my car apart and put in a 1J as well as do a lot of other stuff... stitch welding the unibody, welding in some frame bracing, etc., etc...

    Who designed our car?

    Damn, Nick, thanks for taking the time to put up those scans, they're awesome. However Akihiro Wada was the engineer behind the Supra, not the designer. I am more interested in who designed the car... :(

    Who designed our car?

    I think it's important to know who's behind a great work of art or design, and I think the A70 is the most well proportioned "modern" ('80s and up) car. It's not the most flashy/aggressive/curvacious/whatever, but in terms of proportions it has few rivals--maybe some older BMWs, maybe Bruno...

    Anyone want to help me install SAFCII? NYC area

    In a month or so I'm going to be trying to install 550cc injectors and the SAFCII (already have the lex afm). I might be able to handle it myself but I might also mess up my car beyond repair; is there anyone in the NYC/fairfield CT area that would be willing to come hang out for a day and help...
