Ha! LOL. You can always count on me to stir the pot! I tried calling Mike for you, but no answer & I couldn't leave a message. I sent him an e_Mail & I copied you at your CFX address.

Au contraire. Just like a big HP # on the dyno, big dicks are way overrated... and they take too long to get hard.

Flawed logic. How about a torque curve that stays flat from 2800 rpms to redline? That's much more difficult than making a big HP #. Ask anyone. Apply that torque curve to a car with a 450rwhp goal using MHG, forged pistons/rods, all avail ARP fasteners, standalone running speed-density...

If 400 [7M] rwhp is so easy to make [& keep], show us the multitudes that have done so. You can't, because they haven't. Stepping up [a MkIII] has little to do with power output & you guys can't seem to get that through your testosterone-laced skulls. Stepping up means doing everything right...

Hello Duane, Keep the 500rwhp entry requirement, but change the name of the site to "MYSUPRAKEEPSBREAKINGANDITSINTHEGARAGE.COM," LOL. Whatever you do, don't require that they actually function as cars, since most don't; and if they do, not for very long! Enjoy your lonely site, but at least...

Attention: THE CAR HAS BEEN SLATED FOR REPAIR. Alas, another journey down a well-trodden path begins. Only time will tell whether it was the best decision, but the decision has been made. Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll & this discussion.

Define a lot. No one who says that 400rwhp MkIIIs are common ever provide any basis in fact for the statement, yet it happens all the time. The 7MPower site was up & maintained for a very long time before it went defunct & it managed a whopping 23 Supra membership during its lifetime. And over...

Go for it, make the "bar" 600rwhp...a "showcase" site with < 6 cars sounds really exciting!

Everyone is fixated on the rear, yet damage extends beyond. After inspecting it myself, the body needs a lot of repair to make it line up again with the tail lights, spoiler, hatch, bumper, & door, not to mention damage to the gas tank's mounting & possible damage to the gas tank. Superficially...

Yes, the body is buckled on the pass side.

Over 70 views & only 8 votes? Come on people! Speak your mind & VOTE! There is no wrong answer, LOL. Thnx!

No one asked if it's legal to sell a salvaged title vehicle in Nevada and no one cares. edit: Except Nevadans.

It's less expensive than stock. The Bosch valves function OK, but sound like ass.

Known issues: * The accident damage * Passenger side is buckled * Will have a salvage title * Broken cam gears [cracked bad, but work] * Needs an alignment * Pass-side wheels are broken/bent [need 2 new wheels] * Rear antenna broken * Rear main seal leaking *...

If you'd buy it as is [wrecked], what would be the max you'd pay? Note: It has a SALVAGE TITLE. . .

Hello Ian, There are two [2] sources of oil pressure loss, the squirters & the bypass to the cooler. Since the NA doesn't have the by-pass/cooler to deal with, he may get by on the NA oil pump as long as pressures are in-spec for the GTE eng.....but it's def a lot work to get to after it's all...

Hello KWatanabe, No need to be a cunt. You don't need a mentor? Good for you.

Back in '81, my 1st roommate was a [genius] Toyota mechanic who did side work at home. A dozen Celicas & Corollas to work on every wknd. I had already pulled/built engines before I met him, but still learned a lot in the 2 yrs I lived w/him. I'd say that mentoring worked for me. We had a 3rd...

Posted on SFs, but here too for those that don't go there: One of my best Supra friends was at a stop light & got rear ended by an SUV-equipped woman...his near-pristine dark silver '89 has been declared a total loss. You may know him as CygnusX1, purveyor of the much referred to online TSRM...

R/R the bar, mark the driveway, have an assistant guide me so I take the exact same path, then take pics...all to prove a point on an Internet forum? Umm, no. At 46 yrs old, if anyone chooses not to believe what I say, I move on. If that includes you, then do the same...move on.
