I can't help but think it might be about the same amount of work to build a new subframe when it's all said and done. Just off the top of my head...I think I would build a jig using the old subframe (to make sure everything lines up) and then fashion the new one out of square and rectangular...

Good job Geezer! So no more creaking or crunching or clunking huh? Huge difference before and after?...details man details! I may have to put in suprasport bushings in the control arms in the meantime...

You guys are all running 5 speeds right? Mine is auto and I just started getting a metalic "tink" sound when I put the trans in drive or go from drive to reverse (it's not u-joints as I'd originally thought). Then I thought it might be coming from inside the pumpkin (and may well be)...

Most dealers that installed them on new cars preferred American Sunroof Corp. sunroofs, or ASC as they were known. They have since re-named themselves American Specialty Car (to reflect their diversification of products over the years and new owners). Mostly, they were moonroof's (glass...

Well then you need to push the big rock that that blocks the entrance to your cave out of the way, and get something we modern folks call caaaable caaaable.:sarcasm:

Who cares what "other people" think. Most are fos anyway. The MKIII is one of the few cars that really looks great with the "Lambo" door mod. As for practicality, I can't say, don't have them and don't know anyone who does. The opening and closing doesn't bother me, but wind leaks would...

^^^^^^^^^^Yeah right.... I think the people that bought the Supra back then were people who liked Corvette's, Z28's etc. but were looking for something a little different, and a little more sophisticated. You have to realize, there wasn't alot of variety in terms of performance cars back...

Is it the original head gasket? If so, you're probably overdue. Hopefully there's no other damage. It's just part of the deal. At least you'll be able to replace the stocker w/ something that's more durable. Word to the wise: spend the extra $100 or so and put ARP headbolts. I use the...

If it were me I'd think about going to TH350. Mostly because I'm a drag racer and you can have a trans brake on a TH350 or TH400. But even if that doesn't apply to you, the TH's are just a strong transmission. It wouldn't be much more work. Pretty easy swap actually if you have some...

Stock ride height is about the same.

Truthfully, the only people that hate "sawblades" are Supra owners. I think most of us would be surprised to find that "non-Supra owners" don't see sawblades as being an "ugly" wheel at all, as long as they're nicely painted, chromed or polished. Unfortunately, more times than not the...

Best advice: Re-wire: If you do this you might never have to use that fire extinguisher.:icon_razz

Titan's downpipe is nice, flows well, doesn't hang down, and eliminates the need for the restrictive turbo elbow. My car is loooooow and I know what you guys are saying, every once and awhile a speed bump catches me off guard and ka-bang. I let out a string that would make a sailor blush...

^^^^^ True. However, unless you are a squid with no skills (in which case you should get a Prius and go to your Vegan cooking class), my earlier statement holds true. Understeer=scary, too much oversteer=scary, neutral=good, almost neutral w/ slight oversteer at traction limits=best.

Dude, those are pimpin' I like 'em, and they 18's. They're gonna look dope. Post pic's asap.

I'll take that as a yes.

If I may paraphrase your post for clarification: If you are a rookie who doesn't know to modulate rather than lift the throttle during an over steer situation, than it's better to limit yourself to slow corner entry speeds, thereby not killing yourself or anyone else... did I get that...

No? I have a feeling I'm gonna be sorry I asked but: you and me /= all the other sheep on the road...Would you mind breaking this down for me? :icon_conf

The only instance I can think of that you might wish for understeer would be if you got into a corner waaay to hot, but if that's the case, I'm not sure understeer is going to save you. Understeer=scary, too much oversteer=scary, neutral=good, almost neutral w/ slight oversteer at...

Do you realize that this pic comes 1year and 1day since you started this thread. Scary...And from what I can tell you have worked your ass off on this. Excellence takes time. Looks great.:icon_bigg Got to ask: What do you estimate as far as labor time and $'s total (ignore question if...
