    $130.00 3.0 badge.....wha?!?

    I figure the sight of my tail lights is reason enough, isn't it? I don't even think my car came with the grille badges. Can't say that ever bothered me either. ...then again I picked up an AW11 (first generation) MR2 badge, just because they look cool. Not going on the Supra of course, but it...

    quick weight question/s

    Replace the battery with a lighter variant. Optima makes some nice lightweight batteries. If you're feeling spendy, Braille makes some REALLY light options. Also, while the sound deadening isn't light, it isn't as heavy as people make it seem, AND it is centered, and low in the car. Doesn't...

    Interior lighting question

    I'd guess a plastic box of some sort, given what I've seen of these things in the Supra. I'm guessing that if I knew how to read electrical diagrams better, I wouldn't need to know the physical location of the box, but it might help guys like me out. Then again, without knowing how to read these...

    Want to get paid for your MKIII knowledge?

    Can't think of too many more people I'd rather have on my payroll, but good knowledge comes with a price, which brings me to... ...Grandavi got it. ;)

    Modified Knuckles interest

    Not really my intended purpose for using my car, BUT... I'll play along as I know there are plenty out there who would probably like these. A few questions for you then... -How much more angle are we talking here, degree-wise? -Would this affect suspension geometry? -What sort of money...

    Let me see your trunks!

    Oh I see what you mean. In fairness, a buddy had a Z31 t-top, and I don't recall that car having anywhere to put them either. Frankly, the SS I had was probably the only one I've seen with a convenient place for the roof haha...

    1986 AE86 Corolla GT-S Supercharged

    No worries Jeff, like I said, I couldn't trade you cars and feel too good about it myself. Would be cool it Toyota would buy a few from the private market and restore them, similar to what Nissan did with a limited run of 240z back in the late 90's, early 2000's. :)

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    Discussed the suggestion with my brother, he says there are people around the area who could, but that it would cost a pretty penny. I'll look into it a bit more, but given this car is a "find a good balance of cheaply done yet still nice to drive" project, I don't know if I could justify it. My...

    Torrents

    If you're looking for music, I've heard good things about Spotify and Pandora. As for torrenting in general, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I weren't cool with this thread. :p I've used TPB for years without any real troubles. Nyaa works pretty well if you're looking for anime too.

    Attention driveline gurus!

    http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/Driveshaft_Shop/Drivetrain/Driveshafts//5545 I'm a bit confused by their listings though, I thought that the auto and R154 used different shafts. Might call either Driveshaft Shop or Dahn Automotive (Dahn is in Arizona, they do great work) and see if...

    Re-doing dashboard

    Well, a dashboard is that big piece that spreads the width of the interior that's made of foam and vinyl. Are you talking about the gauge cluster bezel, the shifter surround, something else? Common terminology is quite useful on the internet sir...

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Good advice here, especially on the maintenance bit. I don't think you mentioned, does the car have a transmission, or no? If you already have a transmission, good. For what it's worth, 3 (nearly 4 now) years ago, I bought my 1j. Was originally going to go with a VVTI 2jz-gte, but I found a nice...

    Sure thing Ryan, I might be getting old, or someone else posted a very similar question in another thread. :p

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Ugh... yum. Well, I'd imagine after 20 years, they're bound to be gross by now. They're a good filter (lifetime from what the wise ones point out), but a new one will last you another 20 or so years, so... have fun with that? I'd clean both as a minimum, long as you're down in the area. I'll be...

    Radiator options?! koyo or mishimoto?

    If you can find one. IIRC they've been discontinued. If someone knows of a source, they're very well made, BUT... fitment is an issue with the JZ. You'll need to come up with a good fan setup that fits. However, as Nick points out, and I'll elaborate on... This is true. More important than the...

    Drift suspension intel

    Just the usual, a track, helmet, and practice. Oh, and money. :) Seriously though, we have a few members on here who like to drift their cars, they pop in from time to time, and could probably help you out a little. Learning how to transfer the weight around on these cars helps a lot too.

    Ride Tech air ride?

    I don't know of any air suspensions for the Mk3 specifically, but I'm sure Ride Tech would know. Have you tried calling them? If they don't make one, they might know of a company that does. Failing that, you could always fabricate your own. Or, if that isn't an option, the stock suspension on...
