Well I got to say that while the car isn’t my cup of tea I respect the fact that he tried to do something different and build it his way. Furthermore, I would rock this way before that supra Lamborghini debacle thing. However, with that being said I think we need to start a collection to pay...

Ok barkz. I found the thread from Jeff Lange (i beilieve) however i could only follow it so far i got chassis, engine, targa top, and year but that was it. The seven numbers after the year i couldn't identify i know one set is the color code but not sure which it is.

Hey guys and gals do any of you recommend a good VIN decoder site? Just out of curiosity I wanted to check the VIN on my car to see what information I could come up with. While it stated most information correct such as Toyota Supra RWD it had some other information I wasn’t really sure on...

Na Barkz, it was my father in law’s project before he switched to a 35 so I trust the information he gave me, however the information that was given to him by all of the original owners is the question. He drove the engine and tranny on the donor car before it was pulled. However, he took the...

Oh ok wasn’t sure if that was normal or not. As for how it was hooked up I couldn’t tell you as the turbo that was on the engine went to a different project and this turbo was sourced separately. It really makes things interesting trying to figure out what’s what and why since the cars rolling...

Hey guys got a question. I am finishing up my redo of the rear hatch fixing rust and replacing seals. I started inspecting some of the engine components I received with the car and noticed that there was an oil like residue (which I assume is oil) coating the inside of the turbo. The turbo...

Don't mean to thread jack but barkz can you explain what wire tucking is? Is it just relocating/rerouting the wires my engine isn’t plumed in yet so this would be a good time for me to do this I have no problem rerouting the wires but I don’t want to cut into the harnesses to remove...

Laxboy to start to get the look you want you will need a FFIM (front facing Intake Manifold) from what I have read Seth makes some nice ones as well as LIPP (which is Suprasport’s in house shop) and a few others. Also Stevenr816 posted he is making some as well. I have never used any of...

I vote for no sticker. I think it would detract from the elegance of the car and rims furthermore i think it would look weird unless they were in the same spot but once you burn out or if you tires are different sizes they never will be. However, its your car do what makes you happy. Either...

Can’t wait to see this go down! As others posted the type of race will dictate a lot. If I were you I would try to do it at a roll to improve your chances. I hope you smoke him but not sure if that is in the cards. However, I don’t believe you will embarrass yourself and that in...

When you go to the dealer for a price check on some hoses and gaskets and they set you up as a vendor.

I can’t comment on the website although I have seen the same exhaust at other places for roughly the same amount. However, it states that it is a cat back (which there are a fair amount of) you will need a down pipe and catalytic converter as well. Unless you already have these.

Yea thats what i meant about finding the right person. Someone who understands exactly what it is what its worth and it is exactly what they want without the work will pay for it.

Ok all, time for another question this one is in regard to flywheels or specifically lightened compared to stock on a daily driver. What are the advantages or disadvantages of using a lightened flywheel on a DD. I understand that it produces more power to the wheels. However, I would believe...

First, let me say you have a sweet ride. However, I know from firsthand experience that modified vehicles can be a real PITA to price and sell. You like most people will want to recoupe all of the money you put into the vehicle. Unfortunately many will only want to pay the same price as a...

I had an older raised up toyota pickup extended cab (believe it was an 88 but don't remember anymore) one of my favorite vehicles. Yours must be a blast with the new engine. Enjoy and I wouldn't wory about the body work and paint overly as trucks like that are suppose to look like they just...

That is a decent intake. It won in the shootout a while ago from what I read for most hp and also best filtration I haven’t used it but that is the one I am going to get so I did some research on it. I have installed after market intakes like that one on other vehicles and you do replace...

Ok your car is sick.. And your engine is SWEET!.. Wow looking good.

Alright first let me say that I was impressed with both builds and can’t wait for you to get back on the car. The truck looks mean as all get out and seems to run well. Furthermore, I was impressed with your judicious use of masking tape. However, I noticed the stereo equipment you had...

Going good can't wait to see more pics. Hopefully I will learn some stuff I can apply to mine.
