    Scratch on my Supra! ...And pictures of me repairing it using "Quixx". (Review).

    Lmao! Nah, it's not as pimp as that. I will try, however, to get a video of him squealing his tires sometime -- although it's going to sound strange with studs in them.

    Winter Driving

    Hello from chilly northern Alberta, Canada -- where we have a beautiful three months of summer! The point of this thread is me asking for tips/suggestions regarding winter driving in a Supra. (And I won't take, "don't" for an answer -- it's my only vehicle). So, 3.0L straight 6 turbo, rear...

    Scratch on my Supra! ...And pictures of me repairing it using "Quixx". (Review).

    Sorry for the long wait, my Father was out cruising around in the Rockies. He didn't want me to take any pictures of it from the outside - it's pretty dirty. ;P Says he's going to clean it sometime soon! But I did get a few snaps of the engine bay... dang these cars are compact! You can see...

    YOUR Supra... Is it FUN to DRIVE?

    Stockie-rockie here... love the car the way it is and would never change a thing! ..Except a better exhaust, maybe. And a new intake, perhaps. ...And maybe some rims. ...Oh no. ..

    My After-Market Fog Lights... Nothing Special

    Ah, yes! I have one. I don't use it very often, but I do have it. I do want to keep it, however.

    My After-Market Fog Lights... Nothing Special

    See above post^ ...I can't figure out where to tuck that wire, short of ripping apart the dash. I have the temp sensor taped neatly into a cavity in in the door-well.

    My After-Market Fog Lights... Nothing Special

    The random black wire is this: Edit: Yes, my beautifully 80's burgundy interior... I'm doing all I can to modernize it. (Getting new rug mats, seat covers, etc). Cargo cover? What do you mean?

    My After-Market Fog Lights... Nothing Special

    I just thought I'd share with you guys my setup for the fog lights installed on my '89 Mark III. When I purchased this vehicle from the previous owner, he said, "Yeah, the stock fog lights were cracked-" I interjected, "Oh well, fog lights are cheap. I'll just replace them, no biggie." He...

    Sluggish Starts

    I've been keeping mine in power mode and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Better acceleration, better pull... it sure has lots of poke, that's for sure!

    Sluggish Starts

    Holy shit. Sport mode really opened up my car. I notice a difference, a big difference. It's turning me into a bad driver. >_> I was coming down an off-ramp that was 60 km/h limit, to merge with traffic (not that there was any) -- I looked down at my speedo and the needle was cruising passed...

    Sluggish Starts

    Lol! One thing at a time. I think I'll start with a minor tune-up and oilchange, and get a pair of winter tires while I'm at it. ..And then maybe some nicer rims...

    Well, guess it's time for a tune-up, eh?

    Sluggish Starts

    Yes, completely original.

    Sluggish Starts

    Would it be a good idea to just keep it in sport mode? I was beat by a minivan at a stop light today.. (Caught me off guard). ...And not a newer dodge minivan, no.. an old decrepit transport minivan. :< And yes, from stops.

    Sluggish Starts

    Is it just me, or is this a Supra thing... I have an automatic Mark III, 7M-GTE. When I hammer the gas, the pick-up seems very sluggish. Don't get me wrong, when it's rolling it picks up speed very, very quickly. Keep in mind that I'm in the "Economy" mode on my ECT transmission. Should...

    Scratch on my Supra! ...And pictures of me repairing it using "Quixx". (Review).

    When my father returns from his province-wide trip, I'll get some pictures. It's not altered in any way on the exterior, or interior. It's what's under the hood that's scary. I'll get the list of upgrades from him that he had installed.

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    I'm an ABSA-certified Fourth Class Power Engineer. I work as a Process Technician at a local Oilsands plant. In my spare time, I lose money in the stock market! :D

    What kind of exhaust is this?

    Thanks for all the help. I had my thoughts that it was just an off-the-shelf-replacement. I wouldn't even know where to begin when shopping for new exhausts.

    Uphill battle: Supra Mark III vs. Pontiac Solstice

    Hello all, Let me first say that I'm no street racer. I just want a nice-looking vehicle that can ferry me efficiently from point A to point B. But in my city, if you have a nice car - other ass-hats will rev their little motors out of their engine bays at you at stoplights! So the story goes...
