    Weatherstrippings, Mouldings, Various Exterior Interior Questions

    Fair warning, C7 Carbon was banned from Supramania as one of our vendors due to pretty terrible customer service. Shame too, they seemed to have a decent catalog of items for our cars. As for HID's, Poodles on here makes a nice plug and play conversion for the Mk3.

    I need this 3 piece wing in order to live

    ...and I almost bought it from him when he was selling it, but I had already bought the Regulus. Speaking of which, I kinda wonder how the Reg or Kaminari side pieces would look with this? You know... I'm not even sure I'll ever do another Mk3 after the widebody, but I wouldn't mind having a...

    ae86 or mk3 1jz supra?...

    Considering I've had a 1j Mk3 as my daily for over 3 years now, I'm honestly eager to get into something significantly lighter and more "legal" to run through a few gears without breaking the highway limits haha... That, and I had a 1980 TE72 for a few months. Cost me all of $500 all in, and I...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Man, you AZ kids didn't learn anything from Steven, did you? Put your damn filter on that turbo already... :nono: Looks to me like you bored your car to death over the course of 13 hours... ...I totally kid man, just watched the trilogy with my girlfriend a few months back. Skeptical though...

    On ebay: Custom 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa Show Car

    You know, I've noticed that many of the "custom" cars that you see like this... they're either NA, stock turbo, or beat to hell mechanically. What is it with people who want pretty things, but can't be bothered to make them fast? I know that paint like this gets expensive, but still... This is...

    wanting to give up

    This is why I'm glad I'm past the hurdle. Giving up really isn't an option for me at this point, I have WAY too much invested in the car. I mean, I could sell all those parts, but after 4 years of planning and re-planning, even going so far as to buy a house so I had a place to keep her indoors...

    Mk3 handling

    Solid axles are good for off road, hauling, and little else. They don't belong on a proper sports car, period. That aside, I love the 275/40/17 Nitto NT05 that I ran for a couple summers, great tire for straight line, great tire for corners, and reasonably priced for the grip to boot. Oddly...

    so ive decided...

    You know, at first I was going to point out that ballasts kinda make the weight reduction redundant, but then I realized... that sub setup? Completely unnecessary, but will be about 30-40lbs in a good spot for balancing overall, so... maybe not a terrible idea actually. A more balanced car...

    Hit 12's last night.

    It was the camera slowing you down all this time man! :rofl: Seriously though, nice pass. Difference between that Honda kicking your ass and your car, you probably drove yours home in comfort I imagine, while Honda driver has a headache because he drove a loud and fast tin can to the track. I...

    I think the term you're looking for is BRAKE boosting there Clint. ;) You know, I would normally call you a sissy girl at this point, but better to know your comfort zone than push it and flush a lot of hard work... I get the feeling I'm gonna keep diapers in the glovebox rather than gloves...

    Audio Questions

    Know anyone with a band? Have them practice in a tin shed, and compare sound quality to what a proper basement/studio setup sounds like. ;)

    600hp 1JZ supra vs 600hp Gt500 vs 650hp C6 z06

    You know what else would give you a much better powerband? Porting and a ball bearing turbo. ;) If that isn't enough, then throw on the laughing gas, just not too soon junior. A buddy up here has had a T70 with a .84 AR on his 7m. I let him borrow the Comp 6265 BB that I bought (thanks again...

    so ive decided...

    Weight reduction in a proper way for a street car amounts to one question: How much do you want to spend? Now, a race car has different rules, but you shouldn't be driving those on the street anyway. For what it is worth, you'll notice unsprung weight reduction sooner than body weight in most...

    so... in light of one of my previous threads... I just wanted to say

    Bravo to you sir. Well said. On the original subject matter, I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't haul ass once in a while. However, I'm picky about WHERE. Around other cars is not the place I like to play. That, and around here, there's always a chance you might meet an unexpected deer...

    For realsies? I love shit like this, just to know how fragile our world really could be when you think outside of the atmosphere. Possibly Fox News, or a tabloid of some sort? :p
