I always forget this guy's name, but I've seen him at a few meets. 98 with the later gen C-west kit... VERY clean...

Can't have a thread about blue Supras without mentioning the Godfather....

Hehe wow I feel so loved. Matt knows I'm a big fan of his car as well. Most people's initial reaction when I tell them it's teal is "EEWWW. WHY NOT WHITE?" all this after having 3 white mk3's previously during which all I wanted was something else that was colored... =) -Ray

I have 92 original teal, which is kind of green... soooo here goes... These pics were both taken at a meet last weekend in socal. -Ray

I'm actually looking to sell my Bosch units for something with a thicker purple band in the cutoff, even if it is single xenon. Since the Valeo projectors are harder to come by these days, what do you recommend? -Ray

Yes that works too, pretty much all high end head units will have an aux in, but Alpine units allow you to manipulate your ipod on-screen, which is cleaner, safer, and better for audio (since it is digital transfer to the head unit). -Ray

If your reference is an 800watt 8.1 system, then most high end navigation units will actually be pretty satisfying, depending on what else is in your system. These days their preamp voltage is pretty decent (compare 5V in AVN5495 to 2V preamp out in the previous AVN2454). But if you want clean...

Yep gotta agree here. I blew out one of my DLS UR6 woofers in the Mercedes and am replacing both sides with Morel Elate 6 SW. =) =) =) Sonically it should match with the tweeter since DLS is based on Morel design anyway, but the Elate is just sick. I think the actual Morel Elate component set...

Well, the new Alpine double-din navigation is really good on paper and has an available ipod interface, but if you want ease of use and clean OEM-looking integration, you can't beat the Eclipse AVN 5495, with integrated 30gb hard drive. They were discussing new product at SEMA a few weeks ago...

Aha, when he gets $100's for toilet paper, the $20 can be demoted to dog toilet paper.

Couple that I used to have in my previous mk3, still planning what to use this time... Eclipse 7301 Eclipse AV8533 Also custom mounted 3-way... -Ray

Welp, to each his own -- I stand by the idea of seeing the whole car as a composition, and deciding whether or not to paint the lip depends more on what else is dressing up the car. On an otherwise stock car, I prefer flat black, even if the lip is aftermarket. -Ray

I used to have Cibie ECE housings with Philips HIDs in my MX63 Cressida, and I agree that a good quality replacement housing is the absolute best in terms of bang for the buck and ease of install. Not arguing that, just pointing out that the supposed "projector housings" that are all over ebay...

Late entry into this discussion, but here's my experience. The ebay "projector housings" that replace your stock housings are all crap. They just suspend a projector-like lens piece in an otherwise regular reflector-type housing. If you examine a real projector assembly, the lens is affixed...

Here's my take on a painted lip.... If you look at a profile of the stock mk3, the lip hangs lower than any other part of the car, except for other black-colored things like mudflaps and stuff under the car. If you paint it and have an otherwise stock body, it is now the lowest hanging painted...

Hey Joe, I heard you are selling/sold your car -- I feel really bad about that, I know of a clean 98 n/a cheap, text me if you're interested I'll try to find the details. -Ray

Thanks, LOL I think it's karma because I usually sell cars cheap anyway. In the past 2 years alone I let go of a clean grey 90 shell for $700, my 91 jza70 for $5000, and a great condition Cressida with JDM MarkII stuff for $300. But yeah I was stoked to find this 92, and even though it...

Hey guys, I used to be on SupraMania a long time ago when I was more closely affiliated with 935 Motorsports, but my account died due to inactivity. Anyway I know a lot of you from the other forums, but just saying hi to anyone who doesn't know me. I'm actually on my 5th mk3 (in order since...
