    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    Auto-X was a blast, I learned a lot about car control, and would love to do it again. The car already has Eibach Springs, Tokico Illumina II struts, and Suspension Techniques Sway Bars. I don't have any plans to do too many more suspension mods. I don't want to make the car ride much worse, and...

    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    Last weekend, I attended an auto-x novice school with the car. Some people took a few cool action shots!

    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    They're 17x8 +29mm Front, 17x9 +35mm Rear PERFECT fit if you ask me. The fronts don't poke and also aren't sunken in. edit: also haven't rubbed at all yet

    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    The cause of my breakdown was a poorly installed turbo timer - a loose ground wire finally dropped off causing the car to turn off. Off with you turbo timer! Once the car was home and work, fixing and maintenance began! I swapped the wheels between the two cars, and made a healthy OEM Toyota...

    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    Maybe it’s time I made a build/progress thread for my new(est) Supra that’s come into my possession. I’ve been into Supras for quite some time, but I don’t think I’m particularly well known around the forums. A little background about myself to start: I bought my first Supra in April of 2006...

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Steve has something to share with the world, but I won't spoil the surprise.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Nick, I just read through your whole thread. It's awesome to see somebody else who approaches these cars the same way I do: maintaining the stock systems and improving them with better and newer bolt-on parts. An obsession with OEM toyota parts doesn't hurt either. :icon_bigg I am wondering...

    Which engine?

    +1 A guy local to me, Rob (92nsx) had A/C working with his FFIM (cruise control too!) Buying a SupraSport/LIPP alternator drop-down bracket is very helpful. They have two brackets, one that puts the alternator where the A/C compressor usually goes, and one that brings it half-way down...

    Full Supra Diagrams For Everything

    Shit, I'd take all of them. Have a compressed file somewhere? Maybe seed a .torrent file of them?

    Distance advice

    If your car is in good shape, go for it! Supras are very at home on long open roads: comfortable, powerful, and comfy seats. I've taken multiple 2,000+ mile roadtrips in my Supras. Including one from MN to AZ and back, and another from San Diego to MN.

    2jz Mk3 - 10.25 @ 125, 1.31 60ft!!

    Ham's old car right? It's cool to see some Supras in central Canada - not too many Supras north of us here in MN!

    What are my wheels worth?

    How they look on different color cars isn't a huge concern to me. They came on a red '91 that I recently purchased, and I dislike gold wheels just about universally. (Maybe acceptable on a white car)

    pros/cons running bigger wheel in rear

    source for quality downpipe

    The best way to contact raptor racing is to email the owner (George) directly. george@raptorracing.com

    Best place to take mkiii supra for repairs.

    That would be really great for those of us who don't want to do 100% of their work themselves!

    What are my wheels worth?

    I just got a new car that came with a set of aftermarket wheels on it, and I have NO idea what they're worth. I'm not a fan of the style, but they are real Rays wheels, and that must count for something, right? They're "Rays Eins Kahn 3" wheels, 17x8 +35mm Front, 17x9 +38mm Rear. There is some...

    source for quality downpipe

    I always recommend shying away from the eBay-style downpipes. They never fit quite right and just don't have the feeling of "quality" like so many other parts. I highly recommend going to either BIC or Raptor Racing, they make great quality downpipes.
