    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    I see the braces now...radsauce. I'm kind of scared to see what this'll make for power with that giant turbo hooked up to it now. What kind of exhaust are you thinking of running? Power goals?

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Not quite. The fronts would fit pretty well, but I would need shorter barrels and wider, probably custom-machined, lips on the rears, to get them to poke even farther. So far, the measurements I've been able to figure out are 17x9.5 et0, 17x11 et-63 with 265/40 and 295/35 tires. And that's...

    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Swwweeeeeet! I thought I'd subscribed to this, but it managed to disappear on me. The 4.2 looks like it belongs there, and the effect is greater the more I look at it. And that turbo manifold looks to be coming along nicely, too...couple questions, though. What about wastegate integration? Do...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    I know that way too well...managed to contract a really bad flu, probably from working in the cold and rain. I'll make it out probably sometime after new year's. When's the show?

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    So, after careful consideration...I think I'll be making some vector art for a few decals. One is going to be the "wild style" supra emblem, going across the top of the back window. I forget who did it, but someone on here made a SM turbo snail that looked fantastic...I want that, too, likely on...

    XXR rims

    Back on topic...I haven't seen an XXR fail catastrophically without major abuse (curbs, mostly). If they look the way you want them to, go for it, I say. I know a handful of cars around here that have had them for a few years without problems. That said, they just don't make enough sizes for my...

    XXR rims

    Point being...forged > cast. All I'm saying is make sure the process is up to snuff. Forged are expensive, but worth it. They won't do that ^^ due to abnormal stresses such as lots of torque, drifting and such. I'll have to hunt for the picture of the Rotas that my friend torqued so hard that...

    Pulled Over for "Stunting"

    I did get a ticket like that, back when my truck had a bunch of ladders and a rack on it. Rainy intersection, foot slipped off the clutch, did a 360, got back on the throttle and went the way I was going to. Cop pulled me over a block away and berated me for 5 minutes before trying to arrest me...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Got the first page translated. Bulk of it is done by Google, refined and edited by myself. Edit: The headline reads "Schwarzenegger sends his regards" Re-edit: Second page, with liner notes!

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Hallo! Mein Supra sieht genau so, Vielen herzlichen Dank für den Austausch. (Hello! My Supra looks exactly like that, thank you so much for sharing.) I've been trying to find the source of this body kit since I bought the car. And now I know! Wow...very interesting indeed! So epic that I had...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    And an update...got my alarm wiring finished, with some secret squirrel final touches. Let's just say that if my alarm goes off, this bitch is immobile. I'll get a pic of the kick panel tomorrow...ignition harness is a secret. Sorry, but publicly posting that is bad business. On the other hand...

    NorCal Supras!

    Bleakvoid/Jeremy, reporting for duty from the northern bay area...Fairfield/Vacaville/Vallejo to be precise. What it do?

    Project Lex (aka: Teh Bean) '92 SC300

    You know, according to Corky Bell...as long as that intercooler is ducted and the intake duct is more than 1/4 the size of the IC itself, it'll be perfectly fine. Plus, more area equals more efficient.

    Supra vs new Nissan

    I drove a 2009 GT-R at the Nissan dealer my buddy works at, about a year and a half ago. 140mph in 4th, two gears to go, and then...we hit hills. Oh my god, we hit hills. Yeah, these things are incredibly fast freeway cars, but they HANDLE, too. The driver's portion is having the reaction time...
