I was just informed of this thready and wanted to add something a little more on topic. Not all that long ago I decided to take care of a warrant that had been hanging around for close to 23years. Yes, 23 years. It was the same type of warrant as Dowards, brought about by failing to comply...

Hi, there used to be a few people in Eugene that had supras. I know of at least 2 that sold out and quit the game and one guy that moved to Central Oregon. Im not sure how many are actually left. I still hang around and make the occasional comment but dont own a supra anymore (and if I ever do...

Pretty sure Grim meant "as a GENERAL rule" ...Meaning "with very few exceptions..." Anyway, I digress. Cars arent worth making what could be the single most important and financially beneficial decision you will make in your young life. If I had it to do all over again I would bought when I...

I love how you ran into the...ladder? that was supporting the camera. brand new clutch is going to need some break in. It should get a little more forgiving. Also sounds like you are getting some compressor surge. Did you ever sort out the BPV? Please do that before you do any boosting at all.

Are we the only two who read this thread Tim? Come on people, this man has been quietly and almost entirely by himself doing a 1J swap. I think he deserves some praise for attempting it and getting it to this point. Here is my imaginary pat on the back for getting it this far. :slap...

No updates from Tim even though I personally know there has been progress, so Im posting this for him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhfLtkAxhA4 Sounds pretty good considering everything. Wont be long till its back on the road at least part time, and just in time for spring/summer.

Note to self...dont go on a drinking binge when trying to get work done on Supras. I wasnt really much use on Sunday as I spent part of the morning wishing my head wasnt attached and regretting the jack-in-the-box tacos from the night before while I was "barking at the carpet". The only positive...

I lived in Tucson for the better part of 8 years. Went to school, met my wife, worked on movies out at old Tucson and Mescal, and finally moved out because the idea of another summer there was just too unbearable to imagine. You are going to be wishing that Supra was paint code 040 pretty...

I would suggest powdercoating as opposed to paint on wheels.

Decided I could do a HG replacement 3 weeks before moving to TX in time to make TX2k7. Ended up trailering the car there, drove 2800miles in 4 days, made it in time for the show, but had to transportation and missed thw whole event.

In my case it turned out to simply be bad coil packs. how I did my diagnosis: I purchased a spark tester, its a little device that plugs in place of the spark plug and allows you to alter the gap which is helpful in determining if you have no spark or just weak spark. I then pulled the CPS...

LOL Ken! thats awesome! Like the rims, hate the offset. Get some longer studs installed and put some spacers on there.

The problem with the B&M shifters is that as far as I could find they are all cable actuated. The Supra is a mechanical linkage. It would require some engineering to make a way for it to actually shift the trans. I too have always wanted to do this and was seriously thinking about buying a B&M...

Our side of the whole story is just as complicated: If you just want a fast mk3 you can do it cheaply, but let's be honest, it's gonna be a ticking time bomb. -fixed How manyblown-up 7m motors are littering our garages everywhere...plenty. - fixed Lets face it, take the AVERAGE untouched...

Where are you getting this idea? 12.5 in a civic isnt that hard to do and in no way predicates them to stipping down to race form. It all about hp/weight ratio. You do realize most mk3's weigh over 1.5tons right? (Some on here weight closer to 2tons) In in no way a Honda fan, but one of the...

Precisely the reason I would rather have a mk3...I detest going with the crowds. My second biggest issue with the honda platform is the FWD issue as already stated. RWD is just hands down FUNNER to drive. As for HP/weight ratio...I'll take my FC over the mk3. When entering a corner a little hot...

I had a set of ST springs in Lucy when I sold her, but a problem arose when I tried to ship the car. It sat lower than 4 inches to the lowest point on the car. I bought some spring spacers (the rubber kind) and by using 2 pairs per spring I got the ride height up enough for it to go on the...

Yes, I made a couple raised cowl hoods from the stock steel ones. I had a really big cowl on my car, Tim (Speed) has one with a 2" cowl and and a radiator vent, and KevinM got one as well, but apparently that one got warped and I never heard if he managed to fix it or not. Im no longer...

Yeah I didnt want to post in your for sale thread, but you wont get 5 for it bro. You realize I sold Lucy for $5500 right? There is always gonna be someone more desperate for money and it would likely take just the right person at just the right time to get 5 for it. Sorry bro, but its just my...
