    new targa...

    yes it will fit, the targa from any year mk3 is the same. As for painting it, I highly suugest priming before painting. Is your car superwhite or Pearl white? If its pearl white then you are also going to have to clear coat it after if you want the paint to match. For spot jobs like that I...

    KILLED 69 CHEVELLE ON PINKS!

    Awesome that you had the bawlz to do that! even MORE awesome you came away with the win! What makes this even more special is that you did it in a mk3. If it had been a mk4 it wouldnt have been nearly as cool and not much of an accomplishment. You were definately the underdog and killing classic...

    Freaking Targa!

    the fear of having that happen is why no matter what kind of rush I was in, I NEVER put my targa top back on the car without tightening down the bolts. It was either staying off, or bolted on, there was no in between. As for your stripped parts, all the mounting hardware is still available...

    Tookwik's 3E5/7M is FTW build, Pt. 2. (Actual progress occurring regularly)

    the opposite of stock is "moddified" and in no way automatically qualifies as rice. To each his own, thats the beauty of a free society.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I dont know if it will work for you but this is what I do when I realize Im making silly little mistakes. Take a wooden mallet and pound your bawlz flat with it until the pain makes you forget about the car. Then when you have forgotten all about it you can come back with a fresh eye! But...

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    This is one of the few threads I check back regularly to see, and it never dissapoints. I too would have suggested the O2 bungs down a bit further on the pipe, but not from my own experience rather from listening to the experts like IJ who suggested it. Mine ended up about 14" down the pipe...

    Start, stop, try to start and wont

    Well I can tell you from my experience this is a really frustrating problem. In the TSRM there is a flowchart type diagnosis procedure for Crank but no start. My problem was definitely a fuel flood issue, but I never was able to pin point the cause. I determined it was a flood problem by the...

    Start, stop, try to start and wont

    Sounds like the same issue I had with Lucy. Never did figure out what fixed it, but after my complete rebuild my issues just went away. To this day I have no idea what caused it, or what fixed it.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    as someone already suggested, take the started thats already out of the car down to Autozone or another parts house that can bench test it for you. It is an easy thing to do and rules that out of the equation. If that starter is bad, take the other one out of the car and have it tested as well...

    350+ rwhp in an NA?

    What Ian is doing is way on the otside of edge of engineering, his project if FAR from a "typical" supra and shouldnt even be considered in the discussion of reliability. Also, people rarely pst when everything is perfect and "status quo", they post when they are looking for help after a...

    Tookwik's 3E5/7M is FTW build, Pt. 2. (Actual progress occurring regularly)

    Actually the hood that I was thinking of for your car is the one thats on Tim's car. I think it would compliment your body kit nicely. I am not a fan of the stout hood, but on your car CF would be sick!

    Ken, I cant blame you for that. After ALL that work you put into it. A pro booth is worth it in your case. Your car is going to be one of THE hottest Supras in the nation, and I mean that. You have it all there now, definate show car worthy, and Ride of the Year material for sure.
