    Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

    FWIW, OEM MBZ pads are dusty as all hell, but they stop on a dime!

    The tanabe exhaust is great in many ways, but horrible in others. Pros: Quiet (good for cops) Good size and flow Opens up nicely with throttle Will be great with exhaust cutout so I can have quiet and loud Cons: Giant muffler. Not just that.... STAINLESS giant muffler. It's a damn mirror...

    Thanks Raggan! Glad to know you liked it! That aftermarket pipe looked so bad, stuff like that I just can't bare to look at. This was the best alternative. I'm shocked the manufacturer or vendors haven't come up with something better for mounting the core, but this method actually worked better...

    Fresh Tags! 2017 sticker covering up a 2005 sticker :) Some pictures to look at :) Gotta add some more driver's side photos to even out the rest of the thread, lol. I love little details, I got a second little clip for the AFPR vacuum line. OEM parts and OEM fit. Now the car...

    I used stock rotors and they definitely do the job. They put the stock MKIV TT brakes to shame! Thanks man Thanks man, I appreciate the detail this time around, lol. The AFR's are actually very well within normal range due to the Lexus AFM, it did not have an issue passing. The numbers all...

    Thank you for all the nice words, Ken. I sent you a message on SF, hope you got it. I'd love to meet up and talk Supras! If I remember correctly, the front two holes lined up, but the rear side of the boot didn't line up with the two rear holes. I'll double check next time I take the center...

    Supra + Faye = Love. My first build thread. (beware, picture heavy...)

    hi Faye. Just went through your build, you've got some killer skills. Sucks about the wrecks, but awesome that you have rejuvenated the car time and time again. It has a lot of character! I have a question about your interior door panels. The pictures looked like they matched pretty well. I'm...

    Life with a MK3 Supra - shove it in the garage wherever you might be! Close up shot. The paint is waxed weekly and feels super nice to the touch. It wasn't long before the top went into the trunk, never to be seen again. Coworker's 91 MR2 Turbo. First oil change @ 500 miles...

    Thanks Hybrid! The Tanabe Exhaust is super quiet! The car is off the local police radar, I love it. Drive right past a cop with 11 year old tags and they don't glance twice! I'll have to make a new video once the car is broken in well enough to make the Tanabe scream :P Thanks akito. Great to...

    James' 94 Supra Turbo

    Long time no update. This Supra is a great car and deserves lots of attention. It's only fair that the other projects that started before it are finished first. The 1989 Supra got all the glory in the last few months, but is now running and driving. The spotlight is shifting towards the MKIV...
