    Getting out of the Supra game.

    I think it'd look like a UCF20 if you did the tails in a typical red color. They don't look bad clear, just... I dunno. I could see some tasteful mods to change their appearance, the design is sound. :)

    Getting Back Into the Supra Game.

    My vote is on stupid, but justified stupid. Seems like you have your bases covered (reliable DD, budgeting), so you'll have my blessing here. I've been driving my car daily for over 3 years now. Getting the itch to get into something different, but I also have a Mk2 that I don't drive enough...

    Hmm, nice day today, but wait 5 mins and

    Tilt the pan the other way man... oh wait, you're not talking cooking? :p I've seen some pretty severe temperature swings around here before, as much as 80-90° swings in a matter of a couple days, if not within the same day. Shit gets weird in places the wind can constantly blow 50-60mph.

    I spent the last few hours traveling down memory lane...

    Wait until they invite you to be a mod. :rofl: We missed ya Jake. Once Supra family, always Supra family, even if we are all a little bit "off" haha... I don't know about everyone else, but 2007-2008 was a really rough period on me as well, and it has taken me all these years to get to a...

    2015 supra

    They've always been comparably priced with the GT-R, the MkV if one is truly built will be no different. I'm with Mike on this one though, I'll believe it when I can go see one in person, at the very least at an auto show... I was the same way with the FR-S back in 2010. Lot of hype, no...

    7M Backgrounds Thread

    Uh... Kenny... Studio 54 called. They want their sign font back. :p Pretty cool though, thanks for sharing. :)

    Not a supra but I have a 2jz......

    Yeah, the hood is hideous: And I guess that comes with the territory. I know for a fact that when my old lady gets a MkIV, it's gonna be the same story. :)

    A Few Questions about my Swap

    Ran one on my 7m (stock 7m fan stuff) with a PWR. Never had any issues. When I switched to the 1j, there was absolutely no way you'd fit a JZ and PWR with a mechanical cooling system in place. If you have to run an electric fan setup, I would suggest getting something from an OEM setup...

    chevy 350 swap

    Long as you go with an aluminum block, you'll do well in this regard if you can pull it off right. Iron block... forget it. WAY too heavy and really kills the handling of an already front heavy car. Were you intending to use an auto for a drift car? Can't say I've heard that thought tossed...

    I need this 3 piece wing in order to live

    Should dust it off and make a few reasonably priced (to make it worth your time) replicas. ;) See, this is why I laugh when domestic guys give anybody crap for the size of their wing. DODGE STARTED IT! :rofl:

    wanting to give up

    I can see that. Much as I love them, you gotta mix things up once in a while. Never thought I'd appreciate a luxury car, but for the brief time I drove the LS400, I kinda fell in love. I'll likely own another one someday. I believe it is a G37 of some sort if I recall correctly. Other than the...

    Not a supra but I have a 2jz......

    Welcome to the forum, hopefully someone can move your thread to either the build section or the Other Cars section where it belongs. Have been contemplating picking one up across the state for $4000, but it has a hood with the scoop from a 4th gen Camaro SS, and looks downright silly. Doubl3 D...

    ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

    Long time no see. Speaking of CF parts, what ever happened with your Regulus panel replication? Dead or just postponed? My replies in red above... Haha, I see threads like this bring some people out of the woodwork... good to see ya! Sadly... this is probably the most honest post in this...

    Mk3 handling

    This was the setup I ran on my car until I swapped in the Stance coils and couldn't fit my old summer setup anymore without spacing them out a silly amount in the front. With that setup (square, wide, and sticky), I honestly never thought about understeer. You'd have to have REALLY overcooked a...

    lovin the kit where to buy

    If it comes with the wing and everything else pictured there... it really isn't all that unreasonable when you compare similar options. Pretty sure I have ~$4000 into the body bits for my widebody.

    4.30 from 3.73... will I accelerate quicker?

    Bigger tire = bigger contact patch, correct? I always figured that's why you see a lot of taller tires on drag cars anyway.

    X3 here... almost certain that's your issue. :) Let us know either way so we have resolution please!

    How much have you spent on your MkIII

    Good to see that the coke business is still alive and well down there... Either that or pimping has gotten significantly easier over the years. :p I'm with you man. Boostmonger asked me recently what I have into the widebody so far (and estimate for completion), I figure I'm upwards of 30k on...

    Coilovers questions and help.

    I've owned both the Megan Track coilovers and the Stance SS coilovers. Megan's were more compact and I could run more wheel/tire to the inside of the wheel well, but I like the ride of the Stance better. :)

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I did a bit of research into my wastegate setup needed and found out my manifold has a Tial MV-R flange already on it. So that solves that mystery. Now for a BOV, and a couple pipes to/from the turbo and I think we'll swap in my Comp one of these weekends to satiate me while we work on the...
