    CJ's MK3 1987!

    It is an import motor, straight from japan. I'm 95% sure it's from an aristo, that's what it's allegedly a swap for, and it's what they used from 97-02 japanese production supras... I'm learning a few interesting things about it! like the twin turbo vvti stock only exists in japan, while the NA...

    CJ's MK3 1987!

    Oh my! It's the japanese mk5 supra engine! I had no idea that existed, even. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for specs, but this is exciting for me. Thanks for mentioning that!

    CJ's MK3 1987!

    The whole rear end was lightweighted: nothing back there but what appears to be "line-x" It still has back seats... but not for long.. They're getting replaced with a rear side roll cage The engine bay is stock white! I plan on polishing it out, and giving it a glossy clearcoat finish :) There...

    mk3 to be built! Florida

    I know about it being white... It was a track car in orlando, that was actually spray painted camo! My friend at a paint shop actually recognized the work when I brought the car up to him, saying "I'd know that car anywhere! I did it 5 months ago! I kind of planned on doing a new coat of clear...

    Furious But Lazy 7M owner who gave Up.

    So, I've read this entire thing, and I must say, I had some pretty real feels for you starting up every once in a while. Some bad luck has come with the building of this car, and some pretty low moves by a few people. Even though you found the shavings, I think you should recheck those spark...

    CJ's MK3 1987!

    Questions I may have: how would I go about fabbing a bezel in place of the ashtray/ac-control unit for turbo timer/boost controllers? I've seen it in some of your guys builds, looking flush and beautiful. I may even dump my radio slot, or I may install a newer, better system. Think I'm leaving...

    CJ's MK3 1987!

    What's up, I just got my mk3 2-3 months ago, and I'll go ahead and start my story there. I saw the beauty in an apartment complex, and honestly didn't know what it was. It had been debadged so far, even the engine bay showed me any proof. (sorry for the lack of pictures at the beginning of...

    mk3 to be built! Florida

    'ello. A bit about myself, my names CJ, I'm soon to be in the military, and currently work 2 jobs, and have been since I was 12. I'm only 18, but I've been doing everything on my own financially, so don't assume I'm using my parents money; I assure you I'm not. I'm the proud owner of an 06...
