It starts like that. Eventually you find yourself in shoes like mine or Razoe's, then it's, "OMG I have 3 or 4 Supras!" :p it's a disease I tell ya... but I am grateful to be able to have it.

Any time you heat up metal significantly, it can weaken it, correct? Now unless you plan on cutting through that ABS sensor provision with a hack saw, you're probably going to be heating that up quite a bit... Anyway, IJ, you had a pretty nasty steering component failure a couple years back...

A couple view points of my own, although some of the ideas presented are quite interesting to me... -I can only think of maybe 2-3 modern boosted cars running superchargers anymore, most are high end sport/super cars. -A small, responsive turbocharger setup will make a smaller engine feel...

I would argue with you there on account that the stock Mk3 seat (despite the weight) is probably the most supportive and comfortable seat I've ever sat in in a car. Now, if it just doesn't fit you very well, maybe then start looking into buckets. I still want to slap whoever came up with the...

Ahhh, say no more sir, I can see what you mean there. My car has been the VERY same to me as well. In fact, I posted an old blog I wrote about it in Off Topic a couple weeks back. :) Sheesh, I think mine must be at least 10 by now... not even sure where it came from now. :p You sir, are a sick...

I had that problem at Clint's wedding that one time. You know what fixed it? I pushed the brake pedal harder and sooner. ;) Nice sounding though man... Digging the panda look. :) Me? I most recently scraped 4" of snow off the top of it. On the plus side, all the snow seems to have washed off...

Friend of mine up here likes to abuse the shit out of his FC, gets practice driving it sideways as often as possible (actually a useful skill up here when it snows, so I don't give him too much shit over it), and my point is, he goes through a clutch every year at least. Usually by then he's due...

No worries man. Eastern and Northern Utah is beautiful. However, Phoenix roads, while they may not be "interesting" (take the back roads, b-highways, and you'll see what I mean, the east valley is full of great roads) as you put it, are MUCH better maintained. Plus, you don't have to deal with...

What is up with the camera distorting when you let off? Is that 7m trying to suck it in too? :p

Good to see you're still kicking ass out there man. :)

...and this is why I refuse to watch it for now. Been watching Naruto for 8 years now, the whole waiting game is not much fun. On a more related note, has anyone else here watched Wangan Midnight? I rather enjoyed it, but have been kinda disappointed that it never had an official English subbed...

Dude, it's a sports car on the high end of the low (pun intended), from the 80's. Tell me you're not surprised. Now if you were finding coke residue, I'd say you were dealing with a financially responsible junkie of a previous owner. :p

You're right Figit... we need someone who drove their Supra into a lake or something to keep up the trend. :p

Got a bit more done last night in another hour or so. Probably going to try getting it done by the end of the weekend, time allowing and weather permitting. By the grace of God (hopefully), we'll be working on making the thing move under its own power for the first time since........? Shooting...

Interesting, seems that they increased the stroke even further from the 3.4L stroker that we all know and love. Those pistons are gonna be SWINGING with a stroke that long, and they still say it's good for 9k maximum with proper cams and valvetrain? That's VERY impressive for such a long stroked...

In comes Jeff just STOMPING any misunderstandings before they become misinformation haha... Anyway, I could see one of these making a pretty potent trail vehicle to be honest. Aside from that, I share your hatred of tree cum as well. Shit used to get all over my car when I lived with my parents...

Top of my head, I don't know the part number. Check with Andy's "JZ swaps for dummies" thread, if you don't find info in there, you might PM him. If nothing else, I'd be 99% willing to believe the 2jz part would work.

Can't complain about that man. I paid my buddy $800 for porting my head if I remember correctly. I think it was a little more extensive than just gasket matching, but still. All of what you posted for $1000? Money well spent IMO.

Grant, one of the best pieces of advice that IJ ever posted on here was this sage piece of advice on the subject of reliability:

Rodel is your best point of contact sir. I never had much luck calling, however Ken had emailed me a couple times when I was dealing with the fender group buy. Still, they're quite busy I imagine...
