I believe teal was actually one of the rarest..Super Red II was the most common color IIRC, and teal was only available in the last year or two, which already had low numbers. As far as two tones, check out this beautiful example. I believe this color combo was 87 only, and the blue two tone...

I think he means it was venting metered air..?

For future reference, this is what it looks like underneath. Sorry about the flash.

Sounds pretty conclusive to me!

One thing to note with the lighter drivetrain components, as figgie has said, is that you do decelerate much quicker as well. Getting a light flywheel has been one of the best mods I've done to my Miata, as it gets up and goes quicker, but I also pretty much only use the brakes to come to a...

I was thinking this too.. I have a fire extinguisher handy for the house, and I bought one to keep in my DD at all times. I'm tired of getting sad from seeing beautiful cars have to burn to the ground because nobody kept a fire extinguisher handy after modding a car's fuel system.

You must not have had too many Fords or BMWs then ;)

You must not be a reader since I said "arent exactly "incredibly different" ;)

R12 and R134a arent exactly "incredibly different" and I do believe the switch was pretty much just because DuPont's copyright or license or whatever ran out

The signs of a pump maybe heading out are the same as a dirty screen, which is much more common. The difference in LSDs are pretty much just ratio (3.73 vs 3.909), so pick your fancy. The JZ cars got Torsens in 89, but they arent super great last I checked. I believe you can get them in 4.1...

If you're not working on it yourself, then I strongly recommend passing up this opportunity. Save it up, suck it up, find something else to do, whatever you need. Many people here have cars that spend more time down than up, and I'm certainly no exception. I bought mine at 15 years old, ran it...

I dont know what people do to Miatas that make them get as little as a modern SUV...I never dip below 31 mpg. I drove it to an auto-x and back, and still got 29. 33-35 is my average. Words of wisdom The FM guys really have their s*t together and know what they're doing...and have for years and...

Honestly, yes, it can. Gas, insurance, plus the maintenance that it needs...ignition, cooling, head gasket, oil change, etc. It all adds up

I'm guessing you're not big on reading walls of text. Here's some quick important tips: Do not try to keep a turbo Supra running through college. More people that have been there will tell you NOT to than anyone else. Take it from me: don't do it. As TE72 said, strongly consider a Miata. There...

You should be proud, it looks terrific!

According to Corky Bell's Maximum Boost, the "top-to-bottom" style intercoolers effectively use more of the intercooler and are supposed to work better. However, I imagine they might not flow quite as well, since the air has to take two 90* turns inside the intercooler. One thing that I've...

You're right, thanks for the clarification. The previous owner claimed he put it there to "cool the turbo" and underneath the scoop was a nasty hacked up square of missing hood with frayed, uneven edges. It was embarrassing even at 15 years old in that he really didnt know how the car works...

I need to find out. I saw one at a recent meet, and I wasnt about to start measuring with arm lengths or look any more weirder/awkward than I already am haha. Time to search the innertoobs to find out.. You might like mine then. PO put one on, after some searching, found out it comes from the...

His or mine?

Oh awesome! Yet another familiar "face"/screen name. It's good to see and recognize so many faces still on SM after I took a break
