    If you've never worked security

    I worked security at a Gulfstream plant in Oklahoma City (they make small jets- Leer jet style) and it was the most painfully boring and uneventful job I've ever had. Good part was I got a lot of reading in and it was cool to walk through and look at the shop areas where plane hulls where...

    Hot guard on "My Name is Earl"

    Ummm, this chic dressed as a prison guard on my name is earl is smokin! And then argues with Earl about seeing pic of her vagina tattoo. Ahhhh, I'm a loser....

    My supra weigh 3,940Lbs

    I'm assuming that 160mph was attained on a closed course by professional driver and not to be attempted ?

    So your speedo is inaccurate after some parts swapping?

    Well just to let you all know I just put the last ratio box in stock on a '71 Cutlass today. SS White has apparently been having some production troubles and not been filling our orders for replacements. There's another kind of box we have but not sure if all the parts or as many ratios...

    350+ rwhp in an NA?

    These type of threads are almost silly (no offense), so I'll just help it keep going. 350+ rwhp in an NA? And reliable daily driver? Sure. A stroker kit should be considered- for a SMALL BLOCK CHEVY! A 388" sbc motor could easily make that kind of power without being anywhere close to the...

    So your speedo is inaccurate after some parts swapping?

    I recently replaced the 4.30:1 rearend in my NA Supra with one out of a turbo, I think it's 3.89:1, mainly for better fuel mileage. Well, my speedometer read about ten mile per hour too slow at highway speed, which is a real good way to get a ticket if you forget to make the mental adjustment to...

    R154 DS length and spline specs

    Never heard anything bad about using one piece, other than with less weight it won't be as smooth a drive as the stock super-heavy unit. I had a shop make me a one piece aluminum and just gave them the stock one to copy. Seems like my new one could've been 1" -1.5" longer, like he over...

    Windshield washer Squirters Need Part #

    Ummm, mine's an '87, so these are the same "big ones" you're referring to? I haven't ever put any washer fluid in and don't know if it even works, so I could hook you up with my old crap ones. You just asked about buying my mirror(s) too.

    Drivetrain Slack

    I've got slack, and not nice dress pants. There is what feels like way too much slack in my drivetrain, feels like riding a motorcycle with a really loose chain. Jerks hard when lifting from mild accel to decel, and then back to accel. I have a pretty good idea where it mostly is: the...

    suspension play

    that sounds mostly like worn tie rod ends and not as likely, but possibly, racknpinion unit. Jack the car up, grab the tire and shake it back and forth, like trying to turn left/right rapidly. You can feel the loose clunkiness if stuff is worn out. To check the ball joints you should have...

    Crankcase Vacuum from exhaust?

    Ok this is may be a little out there, but I'm having trouble finding anything about this- I remember seeing a cheap little kit in Jegs or somewhere for a little tube to weld into your header(s) that would be connected to the crankcase. The exhaust gas flowing by supposed to create vacuum effect...

    15" wheels on a Supra?

    Sooo, MK3Brent, what offset are those? Can't tell from pic but you have 15s on front? Clear brakes no prob?

    15" wheels on a Supra?

    Yeah, title says it- can I run 15" wheels on a Supra? Don't have any laying around to slap on and check clearances. I have a set of 245/50zr15 BFGs that are like brand new. My car was sitting for about two years and I'm afraid it's gonna vibrate from flat spots. Some cheap steel wheels are...

    Anyone ever take their Seats apart!?

    Your interior's not dark red is it? Cause I was considering selling my crap, er, i mean stock interior/seats and getting some light aftermarket ones. You know, just for fuel efficiency.

    How do others feel about your Supra?

    You have to be strong and love your car! I've gotten those kind of crap comments about almost everything I've owned! My '87 is almost the newest car I have owned (used to have an 88 CRX) So I consider this thing a technological marvel. And if your family and friends really don't get it you...

    Shimming Valves...

    Yeah what they said. I just went through a whole fiasco starting with "valvetrain noise" but after eventually swapping on another head it was still there- rods!?! But when I first measured my shims I just loosened the timing belt and camshaft caps but didn't pull cams out, just raised them up...

    I'm too lazy to look for it and link it right now but there was just recently a thread about na supra air intakes. A few people had pics of using cheap air intake tubes for honda civics and preludes, just trimmed to fit (i've seen some no name chinese crap on ebay for like $15). Why not get two...
