    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    The whole problem with this guesstimate is that we dont know your mechanical skills, storage access (for work and to keep the car) and what the body and everything else is like on the car. A Supra MK3 is a bumper to bumper car (being 20+ years old now). If your going to love it and build it...

    That whale tail sets the car off so nicely, you dont need to alter anything at all on the car. I could pop my original 88 front bumper on my car and be happy, is very interesting to see that. I think those wheels are perfect for the car as well. Its got me thinking.. because the only reason my...

    Panic time... 3" unrestricted Turbo Elbow.. yikes

    well.. luckily.. George at Raptor Racing had a integrated downpipe in stock. Costly.. but a quality piece. Funny how the LIPP items are no longer available anywhere.. they were good pieces...

    Help with Maintenance

    I would park this puppy or sell it. 10,000 is less than half what its worth imo. Driving it is a crime really. You can go out and buy a Supra that has about 80,000 in parts put into it for 20,000... so .. if you cant keep/store it.. sell it and buy the 600+ rwhp Supra. You found a diamond... its...

    Panic time... 3" unrestricted Turbo Elbow.. yikes

    You said you are putting the radiator in the rear of the car? Did you mean battery? I'm having trouble picturing this on a MK3...

    Looks like the whaletail on mine... I love the end shot of him torching up the road and breaking traction... reminded me why I dont have a 1000 HP car... I'd kill myself.. lol (no self-control.. none.. nada)

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    Sadly.. that is the case with most group buys. Hot hot pre-discussion, then when it comes time to ante-up... nada. They can drag forever. I wouldn't personally pay 1600.00 for this spoiler myself. For a CF version, I might go as high as 1000.00 if it included mounting hardware (again, not...

    Aftermarket turbo options for the under funded

    I don't equate a 2000.00 budget to 400 rwhp unless your good at doing all the work yourself. To me 400 rwhp AND reliability takes a bit more

    Aftermarket turbo options for the under funded

    I just bought the Driftmotion 57 Trim. I think with turbo elbow, 57 Trim, and a 3" exhaust and downpipe all told is about 1800-1900 in parts. Its not rocket science to install although I am paying to have it done for me (no time and dont trust myself enough to do a quick job). Throw in injectors...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    cheap with their cars?? everytime I do an upgrade its like buying a new car.. lol. Personally, I own a Supra because I consider the car QUALITY. If it aint quality.. I dont want it on my car. That means $$. I have seen the cheaped out Supras and I love them.. they make my car worth just that...

    Go for 57 trim?

    Yeah you can just pop it on without any mods

    Go for 57 trim?

    Depends.. especially on how your planning to do it. I am just doing this right as we speak. With the 57 trim and no Lexus AFM or injectors.. I think if you are at sea lvl you may be able to pull of a 12 psi without fuel cut. You dont actually need to do the boost controller if you shim the...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    Not going to speculate, would be nice to see but in the end I've never witnessed Rodel doing anything wrong yet... Lol

    Clutch Problem

    I just popped a new AISIN master and slave into my car after 2 years of topping off the master cylinder... my carpet is filthy.. lol. Im a huge fan of replacing both at the same time just because its one less problem to think of. (usually)

    Hatch and gas lid cable remove/install

    wow.. lol.. I never thought of it. Electric would make it easier. Is there anyone that has done this? (Im not an engineer.. more of a follower) Probably a simple little addition of wires and some used electronic kicker from the wreckers...

    Hatch and gas lid cable remove/install

    I will be doing sometime next month probably (as long as it doesnt get too cold). Hate the key open method.. lol. I was just wondering.. is there any lubricant that should be used on the hatch release (the metal sprung part that holds the hatch closed in between the tails). ALways wondered if...
