    Camshafts - Long Term Storage Preparation?

    Cosmoline is what Caterpillar uses, and while an effective rust preventative, it is a pain in the butt to clean off.

    quick brake question: easy answer

    Top of my head, I can't recall, and I've got the ARZ Wilwood kit all around on my car, so can't really help you here, unfortunately. Have you checked the parts breakdown in the TSRM? That should have a good exploded view, showing you all the parts that should be there...

    7MGE Dyno July 2017

    Not bad! Making that much torque and having only 160hp seems odd though, is that a misprint?

    1300 Kg Track SUPRA project

    At first I was thinking, "WTF is going on in HERE???" then I realized... dude. Good job! Seriously, this might be the most extreme Mk3 I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of cool stuff over the years. It's a good thing I'd not seen this build before I started mine, you sir, would have been a...

    Favourite Cereal?

    OG cereal eatah here, I had the Oreo-Os when they were a new thing, back in the day. The 90's had some good innovations... Also have eaten a box of the new version. Pretty sure it's the same recipe as it was then, as it certainly wasn't difficult to eat a whole box in a few days. In the dark...

    A Look inside the Stock Muffler

    Heh, my HKS Silent Hipower is more of a suggestion than a muffler, by comparison. :p

    Spartan living, or, "How to budget for a Supra project"

    I rarely quote myself, but man, was this a prophetic post. I may need to revisit this thread, with the things I've learned in the near-decade since I initially wrote it. As always, feel free to add any advice that can benefit others in here, things your Supra ownership has taught you over the...

    Your job title!!!

    Of all the folks I meet at SIV every year, I'd say at least one in four is an engineer. Lots of military folks, as well as a pilot or two, couple doctors, etc... I think I'm in the wrong field haha. Heh, well said Andy. These cars suffer no fools, that's for sure! Mine has only tried to light...

    Favourite Cereal?

    So, Megan brought home some peanut butter chocolate Cheerios... good stuff. Speaking of Cheerios, do they still make the apple-cinnamon ones? You know, the ones that had the little chips of what I can only assume were dehydrated apples on the cereal?

    1jz efr 7163 compressor surge at full throttle

    After some discussion with some more experienced folk, I've come to a different conclusion in my case. The exhaust housing of my turbo is a bit on the small side. The turbo spools up hard, stuffing the head full of air, but due to the smallish size of the exhaust housing, it has a bit of trouble...

    Side vents (question)

    It's been something of a long "short" week for me, so perhaps I'm a bit confused, but did you find the answer you were looking for? Stock Mk4 doesn't have any sort of vent where you circled, at least not that I've noticed anyway? On some cars the engine bay vents through a hole in the side of...

    What do you call these parts??

    Just need a bigger toilet Koenig haha! Good luck sorting out old OEM hardware bits, some of the more unique stuff can be hard to find a suitable replacement for, unfortunately. I can't remember any specifics off the top of my head, but I've used a few parts I discovered at work (Caterpillar...

    A Look inside the Stock Muffler

    Thanks for sharing your findings Pirate. Mine fell off my 88 NA back in the day, the weld failed right at the inlet / pipe joint. That was an embarrassing day or two... everybody trying to race me from the stop lights, that car was so slow until you got the weight out of its own way haha. Very...

    Shine Auto Project BLACK FRIDAY SALE Till the END of NOVEMBER

    Ken, I think more than anything, what us Mk3 owners need these days is quality reproduction trim. Trim for both the windows and the belt line, it has become one of those things where IF you can find it, you will pay dearly for NOS parts. I think as these cars get older, things like this will be...

    Can you get a permanent plate for our cars?

    All this legal nonsense makes me appreciate Wyoming. Downside to the lack of red tape is the state's appetite for my green paper... $137 to register my 87 Supra... every... single... year... from... now... until... forever. You read that right. It basically works out to $100 registration fee...

    Bring the sexy back.

    Thanks Rodel, it's plastidip, color is Tahitian Green. Came out really nicely, Megan is good at this sort of thing, we make quite the team. :)

    Powder Coating

    I'm throwing my hat in the "nay" column as well, unless you have an aftermarket pulley that has no rubber. Worst case the rubber separates and the pulley works its way off or your timing goes all sorts of funky...

    Gonna try to get back in the supra game

    Jeff got the big boy engine, the IS350, but yeah, it's the manual. His Corolla though... drool.

    Favourite Cereal?

    Try taking cookies, smash them up a bit, pour in a bit of milk (not too much), and enjoy! Used to do this with a whole bag of oreos, it's quite the delicious meal. Will have to try that, sounds good. I'm the same way, I try to stick to reasonably healthy stuff, I find that it fills me up...
