Looking really good, is the car drivable now?

If it had a good look to it then I could see myself possibly getting on the band wagon. It'd all depend on the design though.

Interesting, I never thought of silver as a color that's quick to fade (if talking stock OEM properly applied paint), it always seems red and black is the first to go. The only thing I hate about black is, when the paint starts to age on cars it looks like crap (there is really no in between)...

Any pictures yet?

I like the look of the smoked lens and side markers, I want to try it on a Silver and then Black Supra. My only gripe about the styling of the 89+ body style is the look of the front bumper. I'd prefer to have the blinker covers to give a more flush appearance, but if the turn signals are less...

That's a interesting way of putting it, I'm not positive the saying would hold up well for the MK3 Supra though. If I were to sell, which I'm not really concerned about, one would think a well managed/taken care paint in recently repainted black (or another clean color) would pull the most...

Yeah, I'm definitely liking the gunmetal gray, I've always been a sucker for clean OEM colors. What color code do you have? The only thing I'd say about the gray is, I'm repainting the 176 silver car a different shade of silver or gray (coming up this spring) if I were to use a gunmetal it'd...

I like the Estoril blue on M3s if that's what you're referring to. I'm also partial to Subaru's WR Blue You're right, if I see any red, (minus the engine bay for now) I'd probably be irritated, that's every single panel would have to be removed prior to paint including even the hatch glass...

Thanks for all the input. Just to clarify, I'm definitely not worried about the resale of the car, I really couldn't see it mattering either way especially as a N/A. If there is another owner after myself I'm sure whatever happens it can't be any worst than the condition of the car prior to...

I'm just thinking out loud on the forums, but just recently I started stripping down a bone stock Red N/A '91 for paint which is a actually going to be a bare metal restoration (recently started another thread related to this outside of the general section). The question remains, I have every...

I've looked at sway bar threads before, but never really paid close attention. Do Whiteline swaybars offer any advantage over other brands? (e.g ST sway bars)

Manual ECU can't be use with an auto tranny, but an auto ECU can be used for either. I recently swapped a 1JZ ECU M/T for a 1JZ ECU A/T w/ the R154, it's only a 30 minute plug and play job. All you need is a screw driver really. ---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post...

I remember the orginal thread, it seemed like it took forever for the car to sell and for no apparant reason. I'm glad to see the car went to a good owner/home. I'm liking the progress made so far too.

Once you deck the block for that metal head gasket what is your plan then? Anything else you can do shave off more time aside from spray?

Yeah, that makes sense at 360whp with a gutted car (I'm assuming under 2600 pounds) it'd be hard to compete against. Btw, I definitely noticed that you weren't going into boost the way you should, a 1JZ w/o a healthly turbo is almost painful to watch. At any rate, what kit are you ordering...

I didn't mind the video, but I'm not really feeling the pulls in traffic either. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of crusing videos w/o the S13 though. :) With that Mines, the 550s, SAFC, and a pair of functional CT12s at 18 pounds I would've thought you would've walked all over him. Was...

That looks really good, I'm glad to see your time steadly decreasing everytime I log on. It seems like you're representing very well for MKIII Supras owners. I also like the fact that you do everything with a full interior and all the OEM safety equipment. Are you ever going to try a built...

I hate say to the obvious things, but I had a similar problem once as well. I replaced the alternator with a new battery few years ago, but I also needed new connectors for my postive and negative battery terminials.

Welcome, +1 on the pictures Btw, how is it driving the car in New York?
