    I have read that the center lens is removable via a few clips, so I will likely just move the center lens to my existing center piece. Don't want to lose the white center trim, or add another piece to the "repaint list." Did I get the right information? If there's a difference in backing color...

    FINALLY :D I found a set of trims! I bought the whole targa with trims and a headliner, being shipped as we speak. Add those with the new targa seals I have waiting, this car will be right again! Going to have to shell out a lot of dough to get the original top paint matched, but the end result...

    Thanks, it was an eyesore. Thanks hybrid. I love the MKIII supra for what it is, always wanted to own a nice clean one. Too many are distastefully modded or beat to hell. Parts availability sure sucks, boy what I'd do for some new targa trims...

    James' 94 Supra Turbo

    Supra has been having an issue at WOT around 4200RPM, power loss. Still chasing that one down... suspecting the second turbo isn't properly engaging. Going to test out the true twin setup and see if perhaps the second turbo solenoid is acting up. The first round of new OEM parts has been...

    Right on, I'll keep than in mind. Trying to handle as much of that kind of stuff as I can before the motor goes in. I remember getting to an O-ring near my IAC on my 87 4Runner turbo. That sucker was jammed up in there. Sucked donkey balls repairing it in the truck. A Supra is so much tighter...

    I'm just glad we don't have to drive American cars. I always see these types of intermittent problems in American cars. One or two won't bother me too much. Once this ones painted, the other ones got a motor and trans, and my trailer's built... LOL soon.

    The car will come together pretty quickly once the parts are all there. After engine rebuild, R154 will go through rebuild, then suspension/steering (looks like a bitch with a motor in there), and assemble!

    We are the same, but opposite. I bought the wheels just for the stock Bridgestone tires, put them on my mothers 4th gen. Wheels sat around until I got tires... lol. We are also both in the BFG mud club :) Though we are opposites again (KM1 vs KM2), I assume yours came from a Jeep if they're...
