    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    With that much attention to detail, I can only imagine how many spare parts you must have... very nice. Hey Edgar, I love the MKIV. I've been driving it with the stock twin turbos working in parallel, true twin conversion. The trans seems like a pretty tough version of the A340. It takes off...

    I've got three different tail light failure boxes. All 3 seem to be working great with all lamps, except the CHMSL 3rd brake lamp. I may have to do some wire tracing because the 3rd brake lamp isn't working. Any ideas? This lovely piece came in today. There was a small scratch which was...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    Brand new wipers all around, 17"/19" front, 19" rear. Replaced both license plate lamp housings in the center tail light section. The old ones were faded and discolored. Got a used A-pillar trim from eBay. Not perfect, but the improvement is huge. Put in the last two Tokico Illumina II's...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    It's actually not for a Supra, it's for a 4WD 4Runner W56 trans. It looks roughly the same and it fit quite nicely. Toyota PN 33525-22050. Thanks for the tip! I ordered one from Japan like you mentioned. I've been trying to wait until receiving it to post, but it's been 3 weeks since I placed...

    MKIII math problem

    Totally random, but I stumbled across a math problem with an illustration of a MKIII supra. Its printed in a current edition textbook.

    Notorious M.K.3.

    Awesome, you're quite local. I'll be sure to arrange something with you once my MKIII is ready (shouldn't be much longer than a month if I'm lazy). SIV might actually happen this year for me, although I can only bring one Supra :( I don't trust anyone enough to follow in the second. Silver...

    Notorious M.K.3.

    One day, I'd like to meet you and see this thing in person. I thought my MKIII was pretty clean until I saw this build! Whereabouts in SoCal are you? I'm just south of Irvine.

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    The beech performance shifter went houdini on me, I can't find it. In the meantime, I was able to get a stock shifter from the same 89 that donated its alternator. Also installed a new rubber boot around the base of the shifter. New boot isn't as snazzy as an OEM one, but it looks pretty good...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    It wouldn't be a transmission rebuild without backtracking and fixing mistakes, there are quite a lot of little details to keep track of. The slider for reverse went on backwards once, the detents for the synchro hubs were switched, and a bunch of other little things. It is now properly done and...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    Pulled the hood off the roof, where it's been for months. The targa top had been molested in the recent past (I'M SORRY TOP, I DIDN'T MEAN TO) and is going back to it's old self... :D Bought this targa, complete with headliner and trims. The off color headliner was a terrible reminder -...

    Yeah, AUS to US wasn't too bad of a wait at all. I bought JDM tails, and just switched the center lens over to the original center piece. It's totally worth it, but understandable in your case
