    Modified Knuckles interest

    Not really my intended purpose for using my car, BUT... I'll play along as I know there are plenty out there who would probably like these. A few questions for you then... -How much more angle are we talking here, degree-wise? -Would this affect suspension geometry? -What sort of money...

    Let me see your trunks!

    Oh I see what you mean. In fairness, a buddy had a Z31 t-top, and I don't recall that car having anywhere to put them either. Frankly, the SS I had was probably the only one I've seen with a convenient place for the roof haha...

    Welcome aboard man, you've got my seal of approval, as a fellow wagon lover. :)

    1986 AE86 Corolla GT-S Supercharged

    No worries Jeff, like I said, I couldn't trade you cars and feel too good about it myself. Would be cool it Toyota would buy a few from the private market and restore them, similar to what Nissan did with a limited run of 240z back in the late 90's, early 2000's. :)

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    Discussed the suggestion with my brother, he says there are people around the area who could, but that it would cost a pretty penny. I'll look into it a bit more, but given this car is a "find a good balance of cheaply done yet still nice to drive" project, I don't know if I could justify it. My...

    Torrents

    If you're looking for music, I've heard good things about Spotify and Pandora. As for torrenting in general, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I weren't cool with this thread. :p I've used TPB for years without any real troubles. Nyaa works pretty well if you're looking for anime too.

    Attention driveline gurus!

    http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/Driveshaft_Shop/Drivetrain/Driveshafts//5545 I'm a bit confused by their listings though, I thought that the auto and R154 used different shafts. Might call either Driveshaft Shop or Dahn Automotive (Dahn is in Arizona, they do great work) and see if...

    Re-doing dashboard

    Well, a dashboard is that big piece that spreads the width of the interior that's made of foam and vinyl. Are you talking about the gauge cluster bezel, the shifter surround, something else? Common terminology is quite useful on the internet sir...

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Good advice here, especially on the maintenance bit. I don't think you mentioned, does the car have a transmission, or no? If you already have a transmission, good. For what it's worth, 3 (nearly 4 now) years ago, I bought my 1j. Was originally going to go with a VVTI 2jz-gte, but I found a nice...

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    Sure thing Ryan, I might be getting old, or someone else posted a very similar question in another thread. :p

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Ugh... yum. Well, I'd imagine after 20 years, they're bound to be gross by now. They're a good filter (lifetime from what the wise ones point out), but a new one will last you another 20 or so years, so... have fun with that? I'd clean both as a minimum, long as you're down in the area. I'll be...

    I believe Empera on here recovers those for a decent price, and the quality of work is excellent. Only expensive part might be the shipping...

    Radiator options?! koyo or mishimoto?

    If you can find one. IIRC they've been discontinued. If someone knows of a source, they're very well made, BUT... fitment is an issue with the JZ. You'll need to come up with a good fan setup that fits. However, as Nick points out, and I'll elaborate on... This is true. More important than the...

    Drift suspension intel

    Just the usual, a track, helmet, and practice. Oh, and money. :) Seriously though, we have a few members on here who like to drift their cars, they pop in from time to time, and could probably help you out a little. Learning how to transfer the weight around on these cars helps a lot too.

    Ride Tech air ride?

    I don't know of any air suspensions for the Mk3 specifically, but I'm sure Ride Tech would know. Have you tried calling them? If they don't make one, they might know of a company that does. Failing that, you could always fabricate your own. Or, if that isn't an option, the stock suspension on...

    Stupid Question time - Driving from Canada to US

    There is a stretch of I-15 in Utah that is the same way too. Maybe by the time I'm an old man, speed limits will be more reasonable. Much like Germany has stretches of their highways without restrictions, America could easily do the same. You ever drive through parts of Utah/Nevada? Cruising at...

    Panic time... 3" unrestricted Turbo Elbow.. yikes

    For what it is worth, any decent exhaust shop should be able to weld an extra bung on wherever you like it. :)

    Let me see your trunks!

    I used my car to move most of my stuff to the house I bought. Took out the passenger seat, and surprisingly, even with the cage in the car, there was plenty of room to bring all but the biggest stuff (furniture/TV) in my Supra. They're surprisingly roomy... I see what you did with all that, I...

    Whats the stupidest thing you have done to your supra?

    Like I said, "better" is subjective. The only "nicer" car I've ever been in than a well maintained Supra is the LS400 I picked up. You want nicer than an 80's Toyota GT flagship in a modern car, you're going to spend a lot more than what you're spending on the Supra... at least to have nice AND...
