I always looked at the DSM as the Camaro to the Civic/Integra's Mustang of the import world. Common, cheap, often trashy, occasionally beautiful, with their occasional flaws, but by God, if you can't make one faster than the dollar's depreciation... you're doing something wrong. Also, just...

As do I, but small displacement, high cylinder engines tend to not meet current emissions regulations. Need torque anymore... Not to take this too far into political territory, but the CAFE regulations that are being proposed would make a car like this unfeasible, to say the least. As for the...

Sounds nice man. As for the "old crowd" at car shows, it's not their car, why concern themselves with it? I'm sticking a 1uz into a 40's Chevy, how do you think THAT crowd is going to react? Honestly, don't care, it's 1000x better than the stock engine ever would have been for my intended purpose.

Kelson, I say this in the most sincere way possible: You suck. That is all. :p Just kidding man, I am a little envious for sure. Was planning on going from the first I heard about it even happening, but when it came time to planning the financials of it all, it would have cost my girlfriend...

Or (like I mentioned in another thread), the Marlin Crawler adapter. I believe that it is exactly for this purpose. ...unless I'm backwards here, and that is for a mechanical trans -> electric speedo gauge. If you're unable to find/fabricate an adapter, and MUST know your speed (but aren't...

Never been in a car with one. Does it hold a gear until you hit the button to upshift then? Always found driving like that easier for hills, slowing down for an anticipated stop, cooling the engine off, etc... Very much prefer having complete control over the trans. I'm starting to think the...

::popcorn:: I love this thread... I take it your intention behind the dry sump was to mount the engine a few inches lower? Was pricing out a new Corvette the other day (just for fun really), and noticed that you can get the LS3 (as well as the LS7 in the Z06) with a dry sump system, thought...

Even stock, they were quite capable enough to run that needle most (if not all) of the way around to the end of the speedo. I had mine topped in 4th at 150 with the windows down in no time at all. With the setup I'm putting together, I'm sure I could probably run 5th out too. ...not that I'd...

For a guy in Vegas, that's about as useful as a Miata in Alaska. :p Good trucks to go camping with though... I can see that for sure. I used to be absolutely paranoid about my first Supra getting hurt. Maybe it's because I'm older now, maybe it's because the current Supra is kinda a heap, but...

No kidding... I've torn apart plenty of these cars, and don't think I've ever seen that piece. Explains that particular shape hole that looks like something should be there haha. Just had an idea. Someone needs to replicate all these plastic pieces for us. Doesn't need to be carbon fiber, just...

Good advice here. You only have one life in real life guys. You also won't truly appreciate your body until it doesn't work like it once did either. ;) I may do a full cage on whatever "fun" car I decide on next. Just for shits 'n giggles, to drive a CAR around on the streets around town... in...

Any luck on that info yet? Would be pretty awesome to have something easily modified to work. Normally I'm not crazy about power steering, but considering the rubber up front I'll be running, it will be appreciated. As for the lathe, I find that with every new tool I buy, I end up finding a use...

I was planning on running the Denso MkIV OEM pump in tank and something like the 044 on the line outside the tank. Figure way too much fuel capacity is better than not enough...

Sarona the one that had the OEM style 3-piece wing? I seem to recall that kit, but not quite sure. Ahh, wait a minute... http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/1986_1992_supra/exterior/body_kits/sarona/saro00129709.html Not sure about the vendor (or the kit itself seeing all two pics of it), but...

Well that sucks... I guess find a better condition head to start with this time? Really sucks considering the time that goes into a good porting job...

Should try 3-4am sometime Jordan, if you really must do it on the street. I used to cruise to work at 130 when I had the SS, the freeways are EMPTY. Plus, no intersections on freeways. ;)

Not that I don't believe you (or that it is possible), but I'd have to see that with my own eyes to genuinely believe it 100%. That would be amazing, a >2400 lbs Mk3.

Try looking into the Marlin Crawler adapters for digital signal -> analog gauge speedometers. ;)

Depending on the level of severity that you want to rid yourself of targa wobble, I'd say a full cage, poly bushings all around, and leave the roof in place. This is one of two major reasons I bought a hardtop shell for the widebody...

This. This so very much... I paid over that for just my front bumper cover.
