    What's this? (Help idenifying a prototype)

    These was spotted at the Ring the other day by a few friends of mine, but we can't for the life work out what it could be. The back end suggests that it's a viper, but apparently sounded a lot like a V8. Any thoughts as to what it could be?

    15" Wheels on a MA70?

    Simple question really - Will 15 inch wheels work on a MA70? I'm aware the GA70 came from the factory on 15", but they also had smaller front brake discs which worries me slightly - Are the smaller discs connected to the choice of running smaller wheels? I do know that this question has...

    What could this be?

    Hello there again people The basic gist is I'm looking for another project car, and this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TURBO-BLACK_W0QQitemZ110240532521QQihZ001QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) has caught my interest somewhat. It has got an electrical fault...

    LS/SC/GS – Which one would you have?

    I’ve narrowed my shortlist of possible Supra replacements down to an early LS, GS or SC Lexus. Because of the cheapness of Imports here, the “SC” would more than likely be a Soarer (1JZ-GTE variant) and the “GS” an Aristo (2JZ-GTE variant). From where I’m standing, they all have their Pros...

    Well, my Supra dreams are over...

    Well, just to let you know that a follow member is leaving the supra ranks. I sold my project MA70 earlier this week to pick up a GA70, but the deal fell through and I'm supraless. I'm as pissed as hell with myself for selling my car without having the GA70 deal set in stone, but there...

    7M Regrets?

    First thing is first. I’m not trying to start a 1/2JZ vs 7M thread here. We all have our own opinions on what engine is the best, and we have all expressed those opinions at least once on this site, there is no need to do it again. So please, don’t turn this thread into a war zone. This...

    W58 Used with a JZ Swap?

    I’ve just be wondering. We all know that that most common route for someone attempting to hook their JZ series motor up to a manual transmission is to use a R154 supra transmission with a 1JZ Bellhousing and flywheel, correct? We also know that MKIV NA supras came with the W58,that means...

    Road Racing MKIII?

    With my last effort at getting the Supra insured under my name ready for next year, I’m beginning to run out of reason to own a supra. I’m just too young to get insured on one :( I’ve been toying with the idea of a MKIII track car for quite a while now, and with a decent enough base car with...

    And another one...

    I guess all good times have to come to an end eventually. I've 99.79% sure my headgasket has taken a dump on me. I've got all of the transitional signs - condensation on the dash, waterfall like sound behind the dash and a a liquid that suspiciously looks like water mixed with oil leaking from...

    Spray Painting the moldings?

    I'm not really feeling the gray molding that came on my car as standard. I think the car would look a lot better if they were black like the rest of the car. Could I possibly get away with using a couple of cans of spray paint and doing them myself? If this is a seriously retarded idea, I'll...

    Yet another 1JZ Question thread

    Hey there guys. After a bit of browsing on eBay, I found that complete soarers with wrecked bodies sell quite cheaply - a damaged car sold on ebay for £400 today where as I’ve have had quotes from JDM breakers that the 1JZ-GTE motor alone would cost roughly the same, so I was wondering...

    Pictures of my new toy

    Hey there. I picked up my new 88 NA auto supra on Tuesday and now that some of the excitement has worn off, I'm looking to take some criticism. The car has got 86,276 miles on the clock last time I checked, has had a recent headgasket change, alternator, battery and general service by...

    Auto to Manual

    I know this question has been done a million times, but every thread I've come across converts a Turbo car to manual while I'd be converting an NA car. Is it possible to use the R154 into a NA car? and will I need any extra parts on top of the usual stuff required to do a Auto to Manual...

    Does anyone run a 2JZ-GE?

    Hello guys. Does anyone here run a in 2JZ-GE their MK3 Supra? I’ve been looking into doing a 2JZ-GE swap, but putting a big single on her before she went in. I haven’t seen any MK3’s with a GE installed and I can’t seem to understand why. GE’s are a lot cheaper than GTE’s (at least here...
