    Just bought a 1986.5 MKIII! Project 101

    If it is the pressure hose you will have to replace it. If you have any welding skills at all you can make an exhaust pretty easily yourself. Look at summit for cheap mufflers. Personally I think magnaflows sound really good on these cars

    I haven't really picked out the specific paint code yet but that ones up on the list. I was really leaning toward the volks just for the bling it probably is a bit to flashy though

    I'm already AEM so no worries there. Electronics are taken care of except for injectors. I was thinking of Rc 850's what do you think?

    Can't see it, page load error. I don't mind spending 800 a rim to tell the truth especially if its the last set I'm going to buy for a couple years. And even if I do change them in the future I can save them. I'll look at it as an investment. hahaha

    MROsborne's 1986.5 Turbo Supra Hardtop

    Another note on the harness bar for half that you could buy the steel you would need to put in at least a 6 point cage. Food for thought.

    Well I found some possibilities for the wheels, with these wheels I could go as wide as 13" I'll have to look into road slick tire sizes...Hahaha Only thing I don't like about this one is its a 18" and 1300 a pop:aigo: (these guys also make a 5 spoke too, I kinda like this design better) Here...

    Personally I'd like to go a little more agressive than that. There nice wheels but I'm going to look around a bit more

    Here is what tekdeus did. Who knows, his car turned out damn good, I guess while I'm there... but I actually kinda want to keep the stock bumpers/sides what do you think?

    I was actually just looking through tekdeus's build thread and noticed this and kinda liked the idea Prob not going to do it along the top like you mentioned(tekdues actually had to do that later in the build because he was running close to a 0 offset in the front, didn't ad any metal though...

    Ya ok that was what I thought you meant, just not sure. I was talking about making more room in the fenderwell so the tires don't rub at full lock, one of my buddies with a 350z recommended this because I guess they have trouble with that... Anyways I am going to try to run 295/35/17 Nitto...

    I like the subframe reinforcement def going to do that, what fender well lips are you talking about? I was actually considering cutting the fenders and expanding them, the only thing is I dont really want to lose space in the engine bay especially since I don't have the new setup all fabed up...

    92nsx's supra build

    I would rather have it a little closer to the shock tower than the manifold, it almost looks a little to close to mount the heat shield... just me, but its not that much and could really help, http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/LIPP/Turbos/Turbo_Flanges/Spacer/10642

    88 Supra - Project 1J

    If you take a little bit of chemtool (or brakecleaner) and a rag to those couplers they will look brand new again:icon_bigg

    Did you think about making a spacer to go between the turbo and manifold to move the compressor housing away from it? I'm just thinking your going to get some bad heatsoak once you start doing long pulls...
