Sounds like you figured out your answer already. I gotta ask though, why (more "how", really) is your speedometer causing your car to idle low and stall? I haven't had a working speedometer in two years now, and can't say I've ever had this problem.

I guess that could be one bright side. One would assume from reading this that not having insurance is a serious offense that is not worth the risk of not paying such high insurance rates? That would probably keep more poor drivers off the road I guess... Hmm. I'm kinda torn. I would gladly pay...

I envy those of you with radio worth listening to. Haven't had that in nearly 5 years now since I moved to Wyoming. :nono:

Should go with a WHATJZ swap. :rofl: Seriously man, for a stock bottom end, you've proved that it is more in the tune than the parts if you have a good engine to start with. I figured this was a one time thing, but if you've been using and abusing it all these years... well done!

I was planning on running a 17x10.5 (11" originally I seem to remember...), and came up with an ideal offset being around +25 on the fronts. Then again, I like my wheels tucked in enough. I do NOT want to be rubbing on my fenders, all things considered. I don't think CF fenders and tires at...

Could always use an approach like this if you're willing to spend the time: http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4539&parentid=14&stocknumber=14-76300

Well, it has "The Bling Garage" in the windshield header, that might be a place to start with. No idea, kinda reminds me of how the FR-S/BRZ bumper is shaped. Not sure it really suits the Mk3, but that looks like it might provide functional downforce as sharp as those angles are on the sides of...

This is probably the best advice in the thread so far. Sorry to hear about your accident, too many "operators" on the road rather than "drivers". Then again, if they were a Driver, they probably wouldn't be in a Kia. :nono: My only experience with accidents on our cars, is that little things...

Had a cop open the door to my mom's old car when my little brother (very young at the time) somehow tripped the power locks and locked himself in the car with the car running... Not sure how hard it is to get into a Supra like this, but a locksmith should know. ;) EDIT: Have you tried the...

Yeah, I know... seems like that line of "those who choose to forget history are doomed to repeat it" really kicked in that day. Just makes me wonder what Pakistanis or Afghans that we will be dealing with as "insurgents" in another couple decades since we "freed" them of the tyranny of the...

Not being a rider, but having a basic understanding of the physics involved, would that be to help most people keep the bike from dumping them off the back when they get a bit overconfident and twist the throttle too much?

I've always run copper plugs in the Supras and just change them every year or so. They may not have the most stable idle, but they run good where it counts.

That is what I gathered... although my 1j rarely backfires, no matter how hard I get on it. Certainly doesn't buck when getting off the throttle. Perhaps his carrier bearing has gone bad?

Well fuck me in the beard... looks an awful lot like that awful Abflug kit. Also, I see what you didn't want us to there. ;) Honestly, it is cheaper to make a Mk4 look good than to make it look bad. Just leave it close enough to stock and you keep it looking good. I can't honestly say that I've...

Wait... so you can't have anything other than basic collision unless you meet their "requirements" with ICBC? So in other words you would be screwed if you bought a newer car at a young age, and got hit by someone who didn't have insurance. If I follow along properly, man you guys have some...

Basically what I'm doing. Would be done by now, but I bought a house, so that obviously eats a lot of the budget. The car is happy to be indoors though. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the end result (if there is an "end" to a Supra build/restoration), keep it up. :) Did you use the...

I've seen flywheel bolts back out before, causing some issues. Anyway, you'll have to update us when you figure out what it is that cause the vibrations. Sounds like an impressive setup. :)

Adolf? I wholly approve of your christening of this car, it is quite fitting. Could be only more fitting if it were an old Beetle. :) I guess up there you guys probably have trucks like we have around here, things like that are "pickups" haha... fair enough. Kai might have a few pointers for...

Eh, bad choice of trying to run from a cop that decided to pull him over for something silly, then getting scared and stopping. Probably could have gotten away with it, but survival instinct kicked in. Dual sport? Those seem like they would be fun when road conditions aren't always ideal...

Could always just say that all the shaking is all that Chevy power, if anyone happens to ask... if it doesn't bother you, then why worry about it? It's a MAN car, not some sissified comfy commuter-mobile, right? DAMN STRAIGHT, who's with me? :D
