Hey there. I'm going to get the crank pulley sorted tomorrow, picking up the part from the dealer's tomorrow, and will probably have a look at fitting it next week sometime. As for the rust, the car got through an MOT with the car as It was before the crank pulley problem any problems, didn't...

The cheapest quote I've got was for £4000. Insurance here is never cheap for new drivers, particularly when you're male live in south London and want to insure a car like a supra. Anything short of 1.3 liter European shitbox is going to be a pain in ass with the insurance.

There are a couple of differences between those guys and you. One being that they actually show a little bit of entrepreneurship, went out and started business doing what they love to do. That's Respectable. Sitting around shifting boxes of spark plugs all day making someone else rich isn't...

Insurance is a little different here. I'm looking at spending at about $8000 a year to insure my supra at 17 as a first car. I'm willing to drop a grand or two into this car over the next couple of months. It's not going to be a total budget affair, but at the same time I don't have enough...

Sorry, but I don't tend to follow the advice of people who sell spark plugs for a living. Sorry. :( ... I do like poodles Idea of tracking the car more or less as it is. I'd still to see exactly what I'm doing engine/transmission wise. I need at least a 5sp in there. Which motor would be more...

Heh, try driving something that weighs not much less than a MK3, but puts out a whopping 95 BHP. Only then will you know the true meaning of slow. :icon_lol: Is it worth going for a set of megan coilovers instead of a spring and shock combo? If the difference is drastic I'll go for the coilys.

Thanks for the comments so far. Would shocks and springs do, or am I looking at a set of coilovers? I see that you're running a N/A 7M, what's it like out on the track?

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...

When the manager paid $3k for the car a couple of months back, did he know it had a BHG, or did that develop later? Either way, If he paid $3k for the car, I can't see him letting the car go too cheaply, but it's worth putting in a low ball offer all the same. Worst they can say is "No" . If...

I think the stereotype of the average MK3 owner is slowly changing. These cars are getting old. Even good examples are being to break down. Kids that are looking for a cheap frill are being put off by the infamous BHG and rod knock problems. People who can't afford to repair are selling them...

^^ Even if the FIA had punished the cars with the colder fuel, it would be only fair that constructors points were taken away, not driver ones. When Mclaren "cheated", only the constructors points were stripped. In an effort of "fairness", chances are the FIA would follow the same punish the...

Nothing. If I wanted a light car, I'd have bought miata.

But why try to reinvent the wheel? It's not the fact that it's possible, it's the fact that it's utterly pointless when you consider that a turbo setup has a lot more potential for a faction of the cost. The fact is if you want to make big numbers out of a NA setup, you're going to ideally...

But that's what I'm getting at, What makes them the "ultimate mk3"? Is it Just the limited production run?

Is that just because they are rare, or because they are genuinely better cars? The first supra I went to look at was a 92 NA auto in a ruff condition and had obviously been sitting a while. The guy basically wanted £2000, which is more or less twice the price of a older manual turbo in a...

Wait... Needing to throw in a 200shot of nitrous on a motor that makes 220hp to get 400whp proves that the gains to be had with the cam work and stroker kit are minimal. I seem to remember reading that if you run a standalone EMS, you'd be able to remove the distributor setup and as a...

What would you consider as a good first car then? My car hasn't gotten a whole lot of usage since I bought it a couple of months ago, but it seems like everytime I go to work on or run the car, something else breaks. It may be minor stuff but still, it's bloody annoying. Unless you're...

Are ShineAuto willing to produce any part providing there is enough interest? A group buy of Kaminari sides and rear would be awesome.

For that kind of price, I'd be interested in a set or two.

Nice workmanship. What form of racing is the beast destined for?
