    crank repair

    $2200 NA better be mint around here. :icon_bigg Thats not a terribly horrible price on the shortblock. Could get it cheaper if you pay cash, no? I always got a discount on bigger items paying cash.

    crank repair

    You'd have to get a lot of lube with that... or a reach around anyway. If I was going to spend $2200 it would be a completely rebuilt engine, not some shop repairing my crank. If I was in your shoes, I'd fix the BHG on the NA and consider a nice reliable build for the 7mgte or buy a DD for...

    HD dvd ;)

    Dirgle, I agree. Sucks walking on eggshells 24/7. *edit* Who cares what sold in Japan? I don't. Who cares what sold in the US? I don't. Who cares which is better? Again, I don't. FanBoiz are everywhere, if nothing else people will go with the otherside because then they will have been...

    MK2 vs. MK3

    Get a Supra buddy in your area w/ a lifetime warranty clutch to get you a free one. Then make them help you put it in. Thats how we do it in So IN. :icon_bigg

    Upgrade.... one more thing to go wrong.... I can find a hole in the dark now.

    MK2 vs. MK3

    ^ No. It's the truth. Someone who doesn't know what they are doing will start a thread that says 'omg supras are so ftl I'm gonna drop a roadflare in my gas tank' Then they'd sell the mkII for scrap and I'd lose 2 more bitchin door handles. :3d_frown:

    MK2 vs. MK3

    ^ umm... if someone who doesnt know exactly what they're doing attempts a swap they will not be happy, in any sense of the word. Happy is good, mo' money is better. :icon_bigg If anyone is going mkII, go 82, we got the cool door handles. IDC What Tanya says, they are ftw.

    MK2 vs. MK3

    ^ Uhhh.... yeah it is? Losing money = No profit and if said swap wasn't completed he wouldn't be richer from experience either.

    MK2 vs. MK3

    ^ Yeah, turbo a mkII w/ just enough time to sell it. :nono: Thats a recipe for a 'omg I hate Supras they are so ftl' FS thread. :icon_bigg I don't see how putting all the money into buying both cars and getting it swapped in would leave much room for a profit. But w/e, maybe I'm just...

    Who all has a beater for the mileage?

    ... No, you're just one of the chosen ones. :icon_bigg BTW, are those rikens?

    MK2 vs. MK3

    They'll never understand Tanya. A car that is easy to drive w/o Power steering... no easy task w/ a mkIII. I will offer anyone a ride in my 82 to prove to them that a mkII handles like a dream. No ghey TEMS either. Oh yeah, Just some sensatrack shocks, suspension tech springs, adco front...

    MK2 vs. MK3

    lol He doesnt feel up to a clutch swap but let's recommend a BHG repair. :icon_bigg Go witht he mkII. You'll never, ever make enough power to worry about the drivetrain failing. Plus, there are awesome mkII owners like me and Tanya on this forum. :icon_surp

    I had a hit and run today

    Some d00d decided to turn his big ol' flat bed truck around in a Hardees parking lot near my car and forgot about his steps on the back of the truck... Put a nice deep scratch and I got some of that sweet 'lol.. I hit something' paint crack going on. I was watching my car while I was eating...

    Broke my toe

    ^ I just did a play-by-play of it. I've seen it a dozen times, I even did it once. And this was for my big toe,not even my wussy little pinky toe. :icon_bigg

    Broke my toe

    I know exactly what the dr/er will do: Glance at it and charge you $100 Send you for an Xray :$40 Have Xray read $35 Tell you it's broke/not broke Prescribe something stupid like Naproxen Sodium or Tylenol 800... Give you a stupid 'sandal' looking boot thing so your toe isn't hitting...

    For those who speed/race or go fast.

    ^ Dun worry, was having fun w/ it. That teenie tiny little windshield does a pretty good job. For me the problem is passing oncoming semis. The sudden gust of air can catch you offgaurd... sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
