EXPLODICON... Exploring parts availability in the disposable income continuum.

$4.15 super where I live, and yes it pisses me off, but I'm not going to buy some shit-box, no style, no fun hybrid for $30k. $30k buys a lot of gas (and still have money leftover for mods). :icon_razz

+1 for the pre-89 front. I don't dislike the 89+, I just think it looks a little tacked on when compared to the early nose.

C'mon man! That's pretty neg. I don't know if you are kidding (I didn't see the :sarcasm:) but that kind of p.r. isn't helping Supras appreciate, in dollars or admiration. I'm not trying to start shit or tell you how to think, but maybe if we raised our level of expectation and...

:biglaugh: It's certainly not your job but... you may want to briefly explain how to the "not so computer savy". I think alot of people don't understand the difference and (I'm guessing) don't know where or how to look for proper tags . More people might be inclined to contribute to...

It's not that it looks boring, you've just become use to the Mkiii's stout good looks and have become bored with it. It's like a girlfriend, she might be hot, but after some time has passed you might want her to put the "sexy nurse" or the "catholic school girl outfit" on. It's not that...

Good for you! You'd be hard pressed to find a better spent $1500 (+ the couple ounces blood and sweat).

Here's better pic' of color. Doesn't look "straight grey" to me or anyone else who has actually looked at it in person. I dunno (sighs)... Yeah, I've been looking for a parts car for the last 6 mos or so and I can attest to that...but maybe that'll get some of the shitboxes off...

You are right Poodles! (it was kind of dirty, and one of the 0's looked like a 1 to me) Here's a shot of the actual # as it appears on the molding. Car was built on: NOV/86, according to build plate on door. So that would make it an early 1987 model, which matches the paperwork and...

Well if they are bronze/taupe like i think they then unless ins can come up with one then they owe me a new full set.

Professionaly done (note the lack of cloudy dullness).

Yeah it's definitely got a taupe or bronze tint. I just haven't been able to get a color code/part # yet. As I said, I'm trying to settle the "neighbor who backed into my car" case, and I need to know whether I'm looking at a complete set of moldings if I can't find a match. I checked...

Who's going to run a carb on a LS-X or LS-7? Maybe a strip only car, but not likely on a street driven car. As far as getting the power to the ground...slicks, low gearing, and a TH trans with a trans brake will take care of that.

Because I just replaced my upper bushings (before these were available) and if there's no advantage/disadvantage why bother? The uppers are easier, but not fun either. If there is a reason not to mix bushings then I'll do upper and lower. I haven't run into anyone who's 100% sure...

Any problem with running stock bushings on the top control arms and polyurethane on the lower control arm?

I should probably say why this has become an issue: My neighbor backed into my previously never scratched or dented '87. It bent up the fender which I just replaced and now have to color match (metallic brown/taupe) as well as scratching the front most body molding. Needless to say I wish I...

The numbers are: 75612 14110 These are 5.1 megapixel but here's another: Ah-ha! I knew it!!! Sure wish I could get a parts number 'cause all I hear from the local dealer is "grey, burgundy, blue. There is definitely a brownish/taupe/bronze color, not grey, not blue, not...

I guess so, unfortunately they don't have a grey molding in stock and since it's special order and not returnable I have been reluctant to order it for fear of it not matching my existing moldings. All I could find were the three colors but I swear to god it looks like it has a taupe or tan...

My local parts guys are telling me that the only color of moldings that were available in '87 are blue, burgandy and grey. Is this correct? I'm looking at my body moldings on my car (brown) and I swear they look like kind of a tan/grey color or maybe a grayish Taupe. Is this my...

I have considered (along with many others here) a V8 swap for quite some time. At first I looked into the Lexus V8. Let me save you guys that don't know some time; the hot set-up is a 1-uz block (even if you were to stay N/A), because it would me more likely to withstand high rev's needed...
