    average city/highway mileage?

    I got nearly 28mpg cruising at 55-60mph in 5th gear. I was following my buddy's nova home from the track one day, he can't go much faster than that for sustained periods, gearing is too low. But usually I average around 20-21 for combined.:)

    WTH Happened to this supra?

    I agree, the taillights are definitely skyline style, I'm not sure if the center plate that covers everything else looks right though. It looks like it could just be ripped out and "fixed" with some normal tailights pretty easily. I was thinking that might be a pretty clean, cheap supra, then...

    Milan Dragway Test and Tune May 11

    yeah, all the relatively cheap helmets <$200 were an M2000 rating, I was under the impression that wasn't as good as SA and therefore not good enough. Also I was looking for a full face helmet, that way no one could see my "Oh shit!" face right before I lose it.:) Hey dan on the same note...

    Hey Dr.j I have a problem, or do I? I went to get an alignment done and was told they couldn't do it because the upper control arm and wheel bearing were loose on the left side. I'm not sure which left side since I forgot to ask. I plan to get the car up in the air today and see what I can...

    Michigan Supras

    shit man that sucks, I had the same thing happen to me a year ago with my new brake rotors. Turned out they spent a week sitting in the backyard of a house down the street from me, they had mixed up one of the numbers on the address.

    Milan Dragway Test and Tune May 11

    Yeah Yeah, I got it, "only" 10psi :) Nah, I understand its not that fun when your not going for your best, me, I'll be happy with low 14s this time around and then next time mr. mbc will make an appearance, then anywhere in the 13s will be good, for this season anyway. I don't have enough tire...

    First time at the track

    Yeah 15.1 is a good time. My first time I ran a best of 15.7, I don't remember traps or 60ft times, and no its not because I'm that bad a driver. Aparrently my turbo wasn't in the greatest shape, it would still make boost, it would just take all day to do it i.e. nothing in 1st, started in 2nd...

    I just got my car running last night, I was thinking of showing up to the BBQ tomorrow. Who else is planning on going and when do you plan on getting there? Since I've never met any of you and I dont know anyone there, it would be nice to know where the supras are meeting up. Brent

    Hey Loki, That's interesting, I never knew that, do you think that album is still available? I'll check around and see if I can find it. Yeah alot of the bands I listen to are like that, they'll be one hit wonders on the radio, or have a song on a movie soundtrack, and I'll buy the cd...
