Not a fan of the blue interior? I loved mine... so unique! In fact, part of why I want an S2000 is because they offer a similar color on a couple of their color combos. Japanese Classics does bring in some clean cars, that much is for certain.

Radar, perhaps now would be a good time to replace what's left of the stock exhaust system. A quality down pipe will really wake up the throttle response. Not sure it would solve your thunking issue though. Is the exhaust able to move much, if you grab various points and wiggle it? If so, your...

Andy, it really is amazing what a random orbital can do. My car's previous owner decided to spray paint the car flat black... in a dusty field... on a windy day. Needless to say, it looked like poo. Megan has a lot more patience than I do, and was able to clean the car up quite a bit. Many parts...

I hear ya man. I mean, it could be worse for me, sure. I could live somewhere like North Dakota or Montana. Still, the lack of tracks in the western US is sorely lacking. I've love to set up a One Lap of America west, but logistically, I don't even know if there are enough tracks to do it? As...

I apologized to mine. Coworker asked how it was running... I had to admit that it has been a few months since I've even started it. Only thing keeping it from being a daily now is a lack of appropriate for the climate tires. :nono:

To chime in, I think just about every Mk3 I've ever seen is missing at least one of the door lock bezels. I believe the retaining clips on the back side fall off inside the panel or otherwise break. Was just gonna glue mine on, as there's nothing structural there, but I'd be happy to buy a set...

Oscar, you sold a Corolla in order to use a Mk3 as a daily... bravo sir, bravo. You're braver than I am! That said, take care of it, and it'll take care of you. I have many years of daily driving a Supra under my belt, they make fantastic commuters apart from being a bit thirsty.

Good Lord that auction guy rambling off uh... words? That's two minutes of my life I don't think I'll ever comprehend. :p

Capability wise, yeah, it's not bad for a basic standalone. I mean, it can do some neat stuff, but by modern standards, "basic" is appropriate. I was more referring to the hardware itself. That ECU is getting long in the tooth, and it wasn't built to OEM standards I'm sure. Hypothetically...

Buy a Miata or an S2000. Not joking. The issues you're having are just the tip of the iceberg for Supra ownership. Not trying to scare you off, but now would be a good time, financially speaking, to take an objective look at what you want from a car. Supras are fun, but they can be cars that...

220, sorry if I caused any offense with my last post. Dig the Superfriends meme though, haven't thought of that show since I was a wee tyke. Radar, very cool man. Explains the plate on your car! You old army / navy types have some rather amusing stories, that's for sure...

I have somewhere around that into my car, nevermind the hundreds (likely thousands, honestly) of hours I've put into it over the past few years, but you know what? If someone offered me over 60k for it... I'd have to have a long sit and pray. That's serious money for any Supra, particularly the...

I remember seeing this years and years ago... glad to see it's made progress! When you say the heads are symmetrical, do you mean that the cams could be driven through either side of the head if you removed those plugs back there? If so, kinda makes you wonder if they intended for this sort of...

Perhaps your muffler bearings fell out of place Radar? Sorry... couldn't resist, and yes, I'm fully aware that joke is older than the hills. :p Honestly have no idea what it could be. Piece of splintered off catalytic converter, perhaps.

After having a V1 crap out on me, I would recommend the new standalone approach. Engine management has come a LONG way in 20 years. ;)

Nick, you PACNW guys have it WAY better than I do... but yes, you are a long ways from any of these tracks. At least California isn't TOO far, and has a few good ones? None on this list. UMC, formerly known as Miller Motorsports Park, is down in Tooele, UT, which is about 3 hours west of me...

Ronnie, I've been running your yellow kit for a couple years myself. I had no idea how nice these cars felt with fresh bushings... thank you, so much, for offering these to the Supra world. Highly recommended if you want to get rid of that squishy old car feel. The yellow setup is perfectly...

To address your questions, in order: 1a. Mild contrast would look alright. High contrast, not so much. The Mk3 was never really a flashy car, but it was classy. 1b. Center stripe on any car seems silly to me. I don't care where the wheel appears to be pointed, I'm not looking at it anyway. In...

Without any disrespectful intent, I just couldn't do it. Even without knowing any specifics, I know my conscience wouldn't allow me to work in any field so secretive, particularly for a government. Fancy way of saying I'm both impressed and repulsed at the thought, I guess. :p

I don't regret it for a second. Had the engine been happy to rev as high as the engine was built for (balancing wise), they would have been a VERY good combination. As is, due to cam selection / setup, and turbo sizing, my engine basically calls it a day and starts dropping off just past 7k...
