just a thought. If someone could point me to a website that has the info I need (to read and learn), that would be sufficient as well. I thought I understood suspension until I came into this area... lol
I have read a lot in here and think I have a tiny grasp on my suspension and what I want done (and I do mean tiny.. because the techincal aspects carry a lot of huge weight with them and reading the forums is NOT gonna give me the correct answers)
What I want to know (and I dont want the...
I love several things bout the car..
- the fact that I always get a comment when I fuel up..
- people feel the necessity of giving me a thumbs-up when driving by..
- I can actually look at my car from my house and be entertained... while it sits there... lol
- the fact that the first week...
I was referring to the grill area actually.. (between the signal lights). I currently have the OEM 88 bumper, changing to the 89+ style bumper (using the MA70-FB-G bumper, which I think is similar to yours). I think I am fine without touching the bumper (other than paint) because I run stock...
Just bought the same bumper you have Rodel (Spec-G from Shine). Curious about what your grill area looks like as my car is an 88 and I will have to deal with that. I think you cut off the bottom insert to fit it on with your larger intercooler...
Planning my other parts.. car goes in for...
That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!
I think I will get 2 sets, treat the other tank and sell it. Pretty sure that MKIII's are prone to the problem I have because of that silly rock protector being just far enough away to let small gravel and dirt collect on the spout side of the...
I saw an ad once (cant find it in the forums) for a coating that you basically blend in the gas tank, swish it around and leave it sit for 2 days and it forms like a concrete barrier inside the tank that will never corrode. However, I think if I deal with the rust areas that have popped up...
Yeah, I plan to go up to 550 - 800 cc injectors (not 1000's). I am guessing the walbro is sufficient for fuel flow, I have an opportunity to pick up a MKIV hanger for a dual setup, but I am not getting into serious HP plans... so I think thats a bit of overkill. If I get over 400 HP at the...
I have a stock 88 Supra with a leaky tank. I thought it was the filler tube, but after replacing the gasket for it, it still leaks anytime I have more than 3/8 of a tank, so I think the seam is rusted through somewhere.
So.. I purchased a tank (used, but holds fuel). It has been undercoated...
I wish... will be working until midnight.. and all day tomorrow. Only have Sunday off. Crappy when your self-employed and a tad overworked.. nobody to complain to :)
Dyck Insurance.. I use Intact for my antique/collectible insurance.. about 8 bucks a month for complete coverage providing I dont drive over 5000 km a year (I rarely top 2000). Susan Blythe is my contact there.. but you need to have an appraisal first to get the insurance.
On a different...
Dark red looks good on these cars imo. My favorite colors are Dark blue/black/Dark red/grey in that order... I am not a huge fan of white simply because I have had a couple white cars and didn't enjoy how they showed everything very plainly...
I was considering that hood as well. I just couldn't fit in the extra cost yet with the body/paint. Do you ever drive around town? I have not seen this car on the street at all. (mind you... I am SE, you may be NW.. lol)
Every Supra I buy (even the one's that are for parts) I get appraised immediately. Here (in Alberta) my insurance covers me for 100% my appraised cost + 1500.00 max on top of parts. My appraisals always come in at about 200% of what I paid...
Hope things work out. I took a Celica offroad once...
What are those hood pins/clips btw. I haven't been able to find them or find any comment about them. They give a far far better shaved looked than the old-style pins.
This would be a blast, and I should have a finished MKIII by then, however.. that is also the same year that my daughter is getting married and its on a cruise ship out of Orlando.. so.. wont be able to afford it. However.. I would like to run with you guys as you go through Alberta (kind of a...
Just looking at the front end and shuddering.. lol. I had a Corolla back in the 80's that I had created a front dam on that would hit the road if I turned to fast and pop out my fenders. (got good at fixing it...)
Do you lower your car a bit for the shows or actually drive at that height?
