    Celebration, FL Car Show 2009

    Wasnt sure where to post this. First of all, I'd like to point out how difficult it is to get good shots of cars with clueless dumb people wandering about. Even then, exotics are stacked neatly on top of each other, and there was little room to set up a good shot. Otherwise, it was another...

    Side Exit Exhaust

    Flubyux2 did that at the end of his exhaust, as posted. There are marginal power losses over a circular pipe with turbo cars I hear. The piping is more expensive though, and mating a muffler to it requires another expensive adapter. Ultimately, I dont think its worth it. I'll be doing a turn...

    Will these fit???

    I'm almost completely certain they wont. MkIII and MkIV brake systems are entirely different parts wise, even N/A MkIV systems IIRC.

    what is this?

    Most of us love the clean factory look of the car, and the people who still have MkIIIs this long after it was made are dedicated to it and keeping its overall look as opposed to treating it as a throwaway car to experiment on, especially loosing interest as the car grows further and further...

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    Awesome, but still not completely my thing. I'm curious what the lip part of the GRacer would look like on a factory pre89 front.

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    I think he should leave the bottom part (lip) of the GRacer black and have the rest color matched. I love how simple and clean the GRacer looks, but I want to stay pre89. It would be neat to see some modding.

    Not bad. Nicely done, and not retarded. I'm a fan of home depot lips myself, though they have do be done right..your car pulls it off quite nicely, as I didnt even notice it wasnt your usual Bomex until I read it. As always, lovin' the two tone blue/black combo trim and bits.

    Flywheel bolts keep backing off...

    I would think your best bet is to drill between two points rather than on them, as opposed to a 6 point head which goes through the middle of the flat part. Not sure if this is how its done, but again, easier to accomplish.

    Flywheel bolts keep backing off...

    A quick google shows that ARP offers it for some of their 12 point bolts. I'm sure you could get 12 point flywheel bolts from them drilled for safety tabs or wire.

    Flywheel bolts keep backing off...

    Indeed. If red strength loctite doesnt hold them, nothing will. Supraguy is probably right; if it has happened THAT much, the problem could be the threads in the crank itself. Its really weird that it keeps happening..whatever you do, its definitely time to use safety wire or whatever the...

    New Trim Pieces wtf?

    IIRC, the driver door molding alone is $80 from the dealership.

    Wierd or cool MKIII Ideas

    I was speechless at how it was even possible. The car is too heavy and in an awkward situation for it to be levered in any way. It wasnt much, but obviously enough! While we're at it, here's the old plans I made:

    Wierd or cool MKIII Ideas

    Entirely :icon_razz. One of those unplanned things you end up doing and leave it alone for a while. This may also happen when you think you need to extend your delicate 20 year old instrument cluster wires and use overkill 14 or 16 gauge wire to fit reverse glow gauge face wires behind the dash...

    Wierd or cool MKIII Ideas

    When the HELL did this happen?! :icon_evil I've been talking about, measuring planning, designing, and otherwise NOT making this hood for like 3 years now! As far as weird MkIII ideas, I've had countless of those other the years..deliberate or otherwise. My "Toyota" front emblem's paint came...

    New Trim Pieces wtf?

    Indeed. Someone else ordered new moldings on here before that were different as well; among other things, "Toyota Supra" wasnt painted on protruding white letters. If you'd like, I just picked up a driver side pre89 grey fender molding. I have a "burgundy/maroon" car, so it doesnt match, and if...

    AR5 Trans Take Two: The Solstice Solution

    Haha sometimes I just ignore it and move on when theres that many little things to correct. With a thread this old, I definitely let it pass :sarcasm:

    Man that looks so hot. I think I know where I'll be getting my intake manifold :D

    Side Exit Exhaust

    :biglaugh: He's sorta local to me, and when I mentioned his screen name to a fellow Supra owner, I was like "um...'flub yux 2?'" where I was corrected with "its flew by you times 2" :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Side Exit Exhaust

    Flubyux2 is/was. He did a nice job making his setup, but you can tell that the car just wasnt built to have such a setup, so its not easy to make. Here's his setup: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=785216&postcount=291

    Questions about the mk3 supra

    As other people said, not the best first car. It was (and still is) my first car, and I love it more than any thing else. That being said, do NOT buy a modded car if you have the choice. Most of all: the most important purchase towards a MkIII is a reliable DD. Thats why I picked up a Miata...
