    I wanted to stay 7m but finding a crank turned out to be not in my favor. Since I know I'm creating a faster car than stock 7M I'm researching roll cages, brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, and rebuilding the steering. And since I have the time and money and no wife complaining about me...

    Finally returning to the Supra world. In 2014 I spun the harmonic balancer of the crank on my 7mge and parked it. Every time I tried to fix it life came in with a vengeance. A couple of times I seriously thought about selling it but nothing came of it. Finally last month I unlocked the door and...

    Sign in for Alabama Supra's rollcall

    I ran it close to hot one time when I blew a small coolant hose. I looked down and saw it and pulled over to let it cool and call a rollback.

    Sign in for Alabama Supra's rollcall

    It's been some time since I last posted here. I'm still abusing the supra with daily driving and will be taking it off the road for a complete overhaul starting with the motor rebuild. I can't keep crank pulleys on the 7M so I'm going to get the block checked out and start with a new crank and...

    1953 Romanian TTC

    As for surplus rounds Classic Arms has 7.62x25 starting out at 100 rounds for 19.99 and they are reloadable. I'm just getting into reloading but before I spend the money for the eqiupment I'm reading ABC of Reloading. To do a 9mm conversion on my Tok I will need to drill a hole through my...

    1953 Romanian TTC

    With the cost of surplus ammo going up I can either convert to the cheap 9mm or start making my own from .223/5.56mm cases.

    Recently picked this one up. I've always wanted one. Thinking about getting the parts to do the 9mm conversion

    Also take a bottle of windex with you when you shoot your new shoulder relocators. Most 7.62mmx54r is corrosive. After you get done relocating your shoulder use the windex to clean the barrel so your barrel does not corrode. Also red shellac is what you use to refinish the wood to original...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I realize that I am a firearm addict. Instead of buying something for my supra I bought a Ruger P89 for 250 which retails around 500.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    On the 16 of this month I pick up a CETME from Century Arms. I know all about their drunken monkey build jobs. Fortunately the rifle I purchased was not one of them. I used to have a bubba'd up post ban SKS with the TAPCO tactical stock that I did not enjoy shooting that much compared to the...

    It's 19XX - Where were you when your Supra was made?

    With any good car the love of the car will span generations. All the talk about computers brings back memories. Somewhere in the back of my closet is a working Mac Classic with 4 megs of RAM, a 40MB SCSI drive and networking card. I don't consider the Atari 2600 a computer but a gaming...

    Just wanted to say what everyone is thinking...

    Wait that was from a movie and not a conversation between Obama and Pelosi?
