How do you see anything coming at all with them squinty eyes of yours? :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh: I'm sorry, I couldnt resist. If its any consolation, I'm the whitest kid ever.

The newest update is now that I have painted my wheels finally. At first I went through all sorts of trouble masking off the lip of the wheel. I would keep getting frustrated from it; enough to make it sloppy and useless. After the first one, I said "fuck it" and didnt even bother masking the...

I'll keep it and maybe make it do something some day. I need to fix the A/C (probably just need to convert to R134a and replace the drier), so with that not up and not having an auto, I'm good. I will admit I'm jealous of the final gearing. I'd like to keep my 3.9 diff and go with an even...

No sir, hence my title. I never really had a "ricer phase," I've been all about function since day one. I "get it" and look past most of what most people go apeshit about and look at it from a different perspective. I dont need decades of experience to figure things out; just a few years is...

What? You mean the stocker? That thing is pissant! My manual car came with that from the factory anyways, its just a noisy little thing that I doubt does anything. Mine isnt even hooked up to anything. 4th gear might be lower than the R154's 5th (which is .75:1), but I think the differentials...

Its roughly the same, though the auto runs with slightly less boost (< 1psi). I dont think it would be measurable.

Isnt access to a wind tunnel usually $10k a day? Actually my school has a supersonic one next door to the SAE garage. Anyways I dont think you'd need a wind tunnel for something like this. Logic should work, or even a fan. Its not going to be used on a million dollar race car prototype, just...

Their undertrays, save for the M cars, have no holes in or out really. Theres enough gap for the steering components to move, but otherwise not much at all. The M cars have all sorts of NACA ducts and such though. Here's the new 3 series one, which is actually interchanegable between sedan...

I doubt it would chill there at the bottom. Heat rises. I cant say I know what the design of the under tray looks like, since I never had one on this car and I didnt mess with it on the other Supra I long ago sold, but BMWs have trays longer than their engines that go to right about the...

Hell yeah thats right! Red Mica Metallic.. 88's color! Also the day I got mine: You mean FTW. In deciding what color I'd paint the car, I ultimately decided to leave it alone. It just isnt the same IMO. I agree its an ugly color, but it works so well on the car for some reason. | V

Coincidence. The only difference is the number is there on the 89+ vs. not on the pre89s. Some people mightve complained about the empty spot on their speedo Interesting. So that would be cars made Sept/Oct 89+? I used 86.5 because thats the supposed first year of the MkIII, and 89.4/89.5...

89.5s+ had 7M cranks which lowered the redline to 6250. These had counterbalanced cylinders #2 and #5, vs. the 86.5-89.4 which had 6M cranks (6M is jap only..5M head 7M bottom end) that didnt have that but had a 6500 redline You can tell which you have by the tach

That would explain the slightly different looking spoilers on some random N/A MkIIIs. I think some, like this 91, actually bought it as a part from Toyota though.

As a fairly well educated person in the MkIII field, I'd say its definitely a "ricer" thing for you to do. If I saw a RHD Supra, I'd go "thats a shame." If I heard that it was converted, I'd say "thats stupid as fuck. Only people that would appeal to is ricers." If you want to do something...

You arent helping my point :biglaugh:

Yes, you DO get faster shits. When you're an "experienced gay," it just comes out easier :biglaugh: I kid I kid. Apparently someone adapted a digi-dash to LHD, so that excuse is out the window; besides, its FAR easier to convert a digi-dash to LHD than the whole car around it, so theres no...

All turbos had wings, and some N/As, such as those with a "sport package". Same deal with MkIVs. I've never seen anything 89+ but 89s with a pre89 wing

Here's back when they announced it. http://www.imakenews.com/lng/e_article000384801.cfm?x=b11,0,w Ford's equivalent Mercon, according to Amsoil: http://www.amsoil.com/news/atf_new_specs.aspx Note that the 6 speed auto that is mentioned, the 6L80, is GM and Ford's joint venture transmission...

That was quick. On a side note, has anyone seen an 89 N/A with the 86/87 wing? I noticed that one of the first few Supras I looked at had the square third brake light, not the trapezoidal 88 like what this 91 has. Was 88 the only year for that style? On a second side note, I feel sort of stupid...
