    Neat, first time I've actually seen someone break one.

    Has anyone seen negative wheel offsets in a mk3 supra and or 12 wide wheels

    You understand that the only thing negative wheel offset will do is push the wheel out further? And that -10 offset on a 7" wheel will look different from -10 on a 6" wheel? In the case of a 12" wheel you would want positive offset and even then you would be pushing the wheels out of the wheel...

    Electric fan reccomendation

    If you get electric fans with a proper shroud they will work fine. I have Dodge stratus fans which fit almost perfect on my Koyo radiator and are very effecient. They are two speed and even only using the lower speed, the fans pull down the temp real quick.

    I didn't know that taking off emblems was also considered "rice"?

    Be careful!!!!!!!

    As sad as it seems, there are still people who fall for these scams. A person at my work was talking about how she fell for the "nigerian prince" scheme, I was awe-struck that someone actually fell for it, but at the same time, she seems like exactly the sort of person who would fall for that...

    I need help with a GUN.

    Look up the gun laws in your state, they aren't all the same. The laws about 18" barrel and OAL are NFA (federal) rules, your state may have additional limits on freedom. Pistol grip only shotguns are relatively uncomfortable to shoot, if you can "try before you buy". I would recommend at...

    Rolling chassis

    If the body is really clean and you're willing to put in the time to fix the other bits it sounds like a pretty good deal. The bondo'ed trim is iffy but if the body is really clean besides that, it doesn't sound bad. 86.5 is the lightest you can get, so if you're looking for total performance...

    Catalytic convertor question.

    I would think that your converter is fine regardless of how it was oriented. I've only dealt with a few cats before, but the ones I dealt with were not directional. 8 years is a pretty long time for a cat anyways, it may simply be on its way out.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    19"s look too big on a supra (my opinion), plus they offer no advantage in handling, if anything reducing performance and are more expensive. Most people buying mk3s are looking for performance so that's probably why you don't see any with 19"s. I don't know how it's affected in regards to...

    r154 and 1000 crank hp?

    +1, for all we know people will still break the transmission so they're pricing it that high to discourage most people from buying it. Looking at the pricing, it is double the cost of all the other rebuilds they offer. The reinforced parts are a must, but I still believe that the intended use...

    Wiring in wide band and 2 step to stinger EMS

    Can the stinger take a wideband sensor directly? Usually you need a controller that's hooked up to the wideband that then outputs a voltage reading to the standalone.

    NO Torque Plate and Boring the block ???s

    If I remember correctly, the early models came with the 6m crank, the later 89+ motors had a 7m crank that had full counterbalancing and thus the redline on those models was dropped by 250rpm. Maybe it was just well taken care of?

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Snap caps really aren't needed, people will argue this all day but unless you're shooting a rimfire gun it shouldn't matter whether you have snap caps or not when dry firing. Dry firing helps, but it isn't a great tool. Kind of like playing Gran Turismo and thinking it will apply verbatim to...

    r154 and 1000 crank hp?

    7M and JZ motors have different flywheel bolt patterns (6bolt vs 8bolt) so they will not be the same as far as multi-plate setups go.

    r154 and 1000 crank hp?

    Is this for a 7M or a JZ motor? There are several three and four plate options for the JZ motors, including OS Giken and ORC. I'm not as familiar with multi-plate options for the 7M outside of what you already mentioned. What do you plan on doing with the car? From what I have seen, once you...

    Electrolysis nickel plated exhaust manifold

    Sounds like a coating for guns, like NP3 or melonite, which are very effect in keeping the surface clean. I thought about trying one of those finishes on my manifold since they're designed to last, but I've never seen it done.

    Effects of storing engine away?

    My old 7M sat around for about 3+ years, I started it at most every 6 months. It started up and drove fine around the end of the 3rd year when I finally got rid of it. The guy who bought the engine is using it and hasn't had any problems with it as far as I know. I didn't do anything to...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    You've got 275s in the front and they don't rub? Did you pull the fenders and do other mods?
