    My 89 targa, turbo, m/t charcoal silver build thread

    To the best of my knowledge 1jz front clips are not even legal to import anymore. I know that Jarco had to send all the 1jz front clips they had back when customs came in and laid the smackdown on them. I'd assume any more being sent in would have a hard time clearing customs. Not sure...

    Anyone running a HKS FMIC on their 7M's?

    HKS unit is beautiful but too costly for what I would want to do. I would probally go with the horsepower freaks option.

    Sooo... I almost died today!

    crazy story. I've almost died multiple times now and it certianly puts thing in perspective. Most of mine though were from stupid mistakes or falling from crazy high places and if I had fallen just slightly different I'd be dead. When I was just a little kid I fell almost 20 feet basically on...

    If you had 20 some odd grand.. mk4 or mk3? or mr2?

    I almost bought a new lotus and 20k would have been my downpayment :) I could easily afford a MKIV, but I love my MKIII from the sheer amount of time I've spent working on it, so I'll stick with the MKIII.

    86.5 vs ITR vs 87 Turbo

    lol at the spoiler comment. Keep it safe on the streets and watch out for speed cameras! They are popping up all over now, a new one was just placed on I-94 over by me...scared the shit out of me when I first saw it :)

    times at the track

    Nice looking times, but they could undoubtably be lowered with some quicker 60' times. The MKIII is no easy car to cut really low 60 footers, I was doing like 2.3-2.4s on some bad warped tires....getting that shit to hook was hard, but I know you can do it :) If you could have gotten the drag...

    Very strange pistons!!

    Yeah def. looks like there was some metal and metal grinding going on. 6000+ rpms with metal chunks = a damn fast sander. Sell them as some strange form of modern art.
