    polished rims

    they dont look half bad, but you will have to run without a center cap because they are plastic and will not look good... and sawblades without center caps dont look good... wait a minute... sawblades with center caps dont look good... damned if you do, damned if you dont. dont spend...

    my 87 with new 89+ tail conversion and my buddy's 90targa.

    i would suggest bilstein, but i'm biased... they may be a bit pricey, but you can adjust that rake out of the eibach's with them, and they are definetely good struts. they wouldnt be OEM on many cars if they werent. www.shox.com has good prices on them

    front mount intercooler

    yikes... um... NO point in installing that ic... you are now effectively using 10% of it, and the rest of it that is blocked, is actually re-heating the air that gets cooled, so that ic is practically useless... vent the bumper and support at least. btw... anyone interested in buying a...

    How much wrenching do I need to know to own a mkiii?

    insurance will be different, by how much? i do not know. the turbo doesnt require specific "servicing", but it's just an attention whore and you need to keep up with it, because if one thing goes wrong, and you dont fix it right away, you will have 5 problems. it's odd, but true. the car...

    18s? 17s? Input on either appreciated...

    those would look fantastic, however pricey... it's worth the money. sort of like HRE. almost a status type wheel, but much worth the money. seriously, please.... nobody stagger the sizes. that doesnt even look good on muscle cars...

    Looking at having tailllight covers made

    yeah. 89+ why try to dress up 89- taillights? they are always going to look bad... i 2nd that kevin's GB's always go very smoothly, and the product is well represented. **looks at blinker covers, as well** he does good work. dont worry

    How much wrenching do I need to know to own a mkiii?

    key word is NA. if you're not totally comfortable with working on your car, buy an NA. troubles will still happen, but not as bad. it's a bit simpler than turbo, still a supra, and there's plenty of room to upgrade. start looking for a good condition NA supra and you will be in good shape...

    we are all technically accelerating, even when standing still. the earth is moving, hence our bodies are in motion relative to a point in space.

    upgrading coils

    look at it this way, jeff... it's Ian... if he's gonna drop a v8 in a supra, you know it's not gonna be a weekend with an 8lb sledge and a ford 302... it'll be a built toyota v8 of some variety and a turbo somewhere involved, also some LPG, a couple carbs... you know. he'll keep it...

    blower quit on me

    i told him NOT to kick it!!! just tap it lightly. it's a lot easier than diagnosing if it's getting power, if that happens to work... and since when is $60 expensive?

    Identify these, If you please.

    whoa. i want to see flow tests on that IC.... yikes... sorry, bud, but i probably would've laughed if i saw that on ebay... it looks like the same fabricator of the abortion FFI-converted stock mani if anyone saw it on ebay a while back... had a massive inlet welded to the backside of the...

    DAMN IT MAN! A cracked rotor!

    a while back, my front rotors warped. im a late/hard braker so i figured i'd check 'em for cracks.... they werent cracked but i must've had them up to red hot a couple times because there were overlapping blue/purple circles, about 1.5" each, all the way around the rotor face. imagine how hot...
