    Well, if it is stock, You can also weigh it, I am sure that a turbo would weigh more. or Take it to the dyno. Easy as that.

    Where to buy Rack and Pinion steering bushing?

    Well, I would say that although you don't want to go to your local dealer, you may look into going to our dealership sponsors at SF (Champion Toyota & Elmhurst Toyota). On 1 item, I calculated that you would get about 45% off. If you are a supraforums member, here are the links to those...

    wheel and tire fitment

    You beat me to it! ;) but I can add that the stock MK3 has Bolts that are 12mmX1.5 & a Centerbore of 60.1mm The centerbore of new wheels must be EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE CAR otherwise it won't work. If centerbore of new wheels is more than original, buy hubcentric rings.

    New forum layout, IMO better then the old!

    Many may not know that the one we had (here at SM) enabled you to use LumiBlue, which was a great theme (made by Grim). Well, I like things that I get used to more than things that are new. This is the same exact program as another forum I go to (although I dont post much there)...

    Targa Leaks

    WOW! IJ, IMO, the best feature of the MKIII & the MKIV is the targa feature. I would NEVER buy a hardtop on a sports car, and I live in a colder climate than you. You could even take your top off year round too. But I do respect the fact that we all like the Supe for different reasons :)...
