    How are your stores ammo shelves looking in your state?

    Out here in Omaha its hit or miss. Prices aren't outrageous by any means but there isn't a lot on the shelf. You can get lucky and walk in when they have a huge pile but then you still have to deal with the 3-5 box maximum which stinks at 20 rounds a box if you are trying to build up a small...

    Steering Hub installation

    Enraged thanks for the response. I thought I was just being an idiot glad to hear someone else thought it was a PITA. On a plus note I managed to get it mounted with a working horn button and auto blinker cancellation. On the down side my front passenger blinker is no longer working. The...

    My interior upholstery work

    I cut the hole to fold down the rear seats on mine and then wondered why I did as I have never folded them down. IMO it would have looked better if I hadn't. As for the head rests they do come off which makes installing the new cover easier as it is a tight fit. The lister straps on mine were...

    My interior upholstery work

    Looking good. I also got the leatherseats.com kit but mine was two toned blue. I installed the covers but haven't yet installed them into the car. As you said i thought they looked pretty good at first but now i cant wait untill they tighten up like yours did.

    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    Here are a few pics to show the difference between a MK3 and MK4/SC300 strut mount. Also a few pics of my system and them on the car. I am waiting for the springs to settle and will then adjust the height again. Also this saved me 20 pounds of weight not counting the wiring and...

    Steering Hub installation

    Hey guys I am about to install a grant hub and wheel on my car and was wondering what all needs to be taken off from the column to install it. I removed the horn button and stock wheel, I also believe that the top half of the black plastic contact ring needs to be removed as the plug sticks out...

    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    BFR body side is the same and all that is needed for the shock to fit is file down a flat on opposite side. MK 3 supra has one flat side so the end looks like a D the MK4 and SC300 have a flat on both sides. I took pics of the shock both next to each other to illustrate if I have time ill post...

    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    I am building a set now and taking pics so I can post them. I have everything for it but am doing it slightly different. I had all 4 coil sleeves bored different, am adding another c clip groove in the rears to get them to the height I want, and had the 4 shocks machined at the top to work...

    Crazy how fast your life can flash in front of your eyes..

    Wow Devin this sucks. Not once but twice you got hosed. However, as others have posted the main thing is that you weren't seriously injured. If i were you i think i would stick with the Supra. I mean by now you know that they can take a hit. No matter what you drive other people will still...

    New Shock Question

    Thanks CyFi6 ill try that. Just didn't want to try anything until i knew i wouldn't mess them up. As for which Bilstien's they are the HD's. Only my front two have the piece that you are talking about Ryan. I was a bit worried about them since the tube is longer then the rears and the...

    Top Hats

    sweet. I just tried the one rear mk4 top hat on the side that i pulled and it fit up nicely. Any issues with using rears in the front? I heard someone suggest this not sure if it was in the supraforums or Club Lexus right up. Autozone sells two different rear versions but no front ones...

    New Shock Question

    I just had my new Bilstien shocks delivered and when looking at the rear set i noticed that the flat portion of the top mount is in different places (facing different directions in relation to the bottom mounts) on both of them. Does anyone know if these can be turned with pliers or something...

    Top Hats

    I am attempting to recreate the Gixxer Drew Suspension on my mk3. In doing so i bought new rear top hats from autozone. However, when i was looking at them on a toyota website they specified one for each side. Are they different per side? If so can i use the generic ones on the rear and buy...
