    Anyone here live near Panama City, FL?

    I'll be going down to Panama City, FL the first or second week in August and I'm curious to see if anyone here lives in that area. Thanks!

    anyone getting ready for SILV05

    Don't you have work to do? ;) On a serious note, I don't think I'll be able to make it with school and work, but if I change my mind, we'll definitely need to meet up and drive out there.

    Best 4" speakers

    Do you have an N/A? If so, that could be why you can take them off. On most turbo models they have a box that the speaker bolts into with 4 bolts, whereas, the n/a's have a 3 bolt/screw type. On the former, the panels MUST come off to get access the speakers. The only thing you can do by...

    going for new muffler

    Is that flex section I see on the downpipe? If so, that must have been expensive! All the shops here charge about $70 for 1ft. of 3" flex section. Congratulations on the exhaust though. Here's a link to when I made my exhaust (I can weld)...

    My newest mod...(pic)

    Have you run the car with the new turbo yet? If so, how much of a difference was there?

    Best 4" speakers

    Well, then, since they're already off, there's no question. Back to the speakers, I'm currently just using stock cones with a single bazooka 8" tube in the trunk and couldn't be happier. It sounds good to me because I can adjust everything with my headunit (aiwa mp3, cd, cd-r player w/ aux...

    Throttle response...

    Hehe....there's always the Front Facing Intake Manifold modification.;) That with a JDM throttle body that uses just the pull cable instead of the gay USDM linkage will definitely increase throttle response. But then again....that's a lot of work and this isn't a practical response. ;)

    Best 4" speakers

    Hmm...on all the supras I've owned you MUST remove the door panel to get access to the wires and to unbolt the speakers from the box they sit in. I think some supras didn't come with the "premium audio", but mine have always had it.

    engine coolant

    I use a 50/50 mix of the green coolant and filtered water and I don't overheat. If the coolant passages are corroded, that means non-distilled water has been used instead causing the corrosion. If you are experiencing overheating issues, something needs to be fixed....and it's not just a...

    PVC IC piping

    Ideal is just being a butt. ;) If it works, it works. I have tried it on a previous supra and mine seemed to pop off on me a lot, but it was probably due to incorrect preparation. Instead, I learned how to weld and welded up some nice mandrel bent 2.5" metal pipes that feed through the...

    o2 sensor

    I got in on the group buy for new o2 sensors and that was probably the best group buy I've ever been a part of because new toyota sensors are extremely expensive. The MDC route is the best way to go if you're just using a stock-flanged elbow.

    New guy

    Welcome to the community! Supra's are just like DSM's in that you HAVE to possess the ability of doing your own work. Seeing as how you came from the DSM crowd, I KNOW you have a knowledge of cars.

    Powder Coating

    When I searched around locally for places who could powder coat, the average price for the valve covers was between $40 and $50.
