    Racing style door panels?

    Not gonna be easy. Gonna have to find the parts to convert to manual windows, you have to modify the way the locks and especially the door handle works, and you have to remove the top of the existing doorpanel and graft it onto the top of your new panel. It's been done on MKII's, but they have...

    Hp and MPG?

    Turbo car is catch 22. Most BPU upgrades (intake,exhaust, IC piping, intercooler) increase the airflow and make the engine more efficient. It also tends to make you spool sooner, and boost = less MPG as a general rule. Of course with upgrades, you'll end up wanting to use the power (and hear...

    trouble getting into reverse

    Contains friction modifier. While it's needed for clutch type limited slip diffs (like ours), it impedes the function of the syncros in a transmission. Try shifting fast ;)

    trouble getting into reverse

    No need to go into another gear, just wait a few seconds then try reverse. The gear packs have to stop spinning as reverse isn't syncronized. High end gear oil tends to make it worse as the gearpack will spin longer. Should still use better gear lube (redline MT-90) if you like the other 5...

    Will my system be able to handle running 6 55w HID's at the same time?

    Keep in mind you don't want to see right in front of you. A lot of factory HID's don't start until well over 10 feet in front of the car, if not farther because 1) you can't see it anyway because of the hood 2) light that close is useless at driving speeds. Fogs aren't really meant to light...

    Will my system be able to handle running 6 55w HID's at the same time?

    The best lighting is solo projectors, but a low beam aimed high to give a high beam isn't a high beam. With all those lights on, you'll have a super bright foreground and no range. It makes you feel safe, but in reality you can't see crap. This is especially true for what amounts to a quad...

    2012 Calendar Submissions

    Blaming the person assembling the calendar for the quality of the shots that were submitted doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. Most of the time those "absolutely stunning, beautiful mk3's that have had tons of work put into them that are not selected" are not selected because the images are...

    When to Upgrade Alternator

    None of those items should be pulling that much draw unless you have a power issue to start with (or you have more than that, say like e-fans?). Check grounds and battery connections. Could also be where you wired in those items.

    Sure it's a 92 but seriously?

    Snickering at bolded Typical dealer than knows NOTHING of the car and wants way too much. It's not that clean either (front end has been curbed obviously, cracking the lip). Also, the idiots took the targa off and rested it on it's edge, so the top is gonna leak in the rain. Oh, and it's...

    Only one of the pipes would be used, and the pipe is very small compared to stock.

    mk3 home depot lip

    Facime's setup is. It's not $20 though, and he made it back before there were aftermarket lips available for pre-89's.

    Will my system be able to handle running 6 55w HID's at the same time?

    Why 6? I'd assuming low beams, high beams, and fogs. Fogs won't do anything but make your foreground too bright making it harder to see. It won't seem that way, but your eyes adapt to the bright foreground making it harder to see in the distance. That's fine if you're going 10MPH, but not...

    Exhaust on an MK3 Supra

    Exhaust, no, you're not hurting it, but you'd get more performance out of a 3" system. Plus, if you're ever cruising with someone, they'd enjoy you having a cat so their eyes aren't burning when they're behind you... Sound from the motor, can't say. Sounds like the typical supra hickup, but...

    Low profile headlights

    Plug and play low profile isn't possible. I've spent several years trying to design such a kit, all will require modifications that aren't reversable or replacement of the entire assembly at a rediculous cost. *cough* I've done it. (and still do it when I have the time)
