    i love my mk3

    Supras are the best diet I've ever been on. I must have lost 30 lbs out of my wallet region alone... not to mention the hair I've pulled out! :rofl:

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Installed the C's shifter I just bought. Definitely different. :)

    seized?

    I stopped using a ratchet bigger than 1/4 on most things on my car. Anything more, and I had a bad habit of shearing bolts... Funny thing is I'm about 125 lbs soaking wet. :p This was my main point, I just exaggerated what COULD happen. I work in an industry where if you don't take precautions...

    What maintenance would you do immediately after purchase, no matter what?

    OP, you can still buy OEM under trays. Your cooling system will thank you for it too. ;) I paid about $120 or so back about 4 years ago.

    tire rub, new shocks

    What offsets are your wheels? If they are stock, you really shouldn't rub... correct tire size, you got that correct. :) Try setting your shocks to a stiffer setting...

    Differential filler plug location

    In case you haven't already drained your diff (I'm assuming you haven't or you would have spotted the fill plug already), ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pull the fill plug first, and if you're smart, use a 6 point socket on it. Nothing like nearly stripping the fill bolt with a 12 point socket AFTER your...

    Mayhem Festival 2012 anyone?

    Mario, Mario, Mario... the fuck dude? :rofl: Now THAT is a lineup I would LOVE to see play together at a show. Just to see what sort of crowd it attracts. Once you're in, you're not allowed to leave. :evil2: Kinda reminds me of when 311, Hoobastank, and Jay-Z played the Sprite Remix (remember...

    Need honest advice, Escort or Golf

    Hmm... personally, if the Ford has no issues, and has been a solid car, I would say keep it. An interesting DD tends to lead to putting money into it, right? Putting (unnecessary) money into the DD takes money away from the Supra... ;)

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Never understood that... rarely ever is it "someone else" that got you fired... 99 out of 100, you're your own worst enemy. I know I am anyway.

    1JZ Trying for 600hp on pump

    Good to hear. Unfortunately, you kinda need boost or a decent amount of displacement to get around at this altitude. Haha, I say that's more a combination of a rough idle and solid mounts if you ask me... mine will rock to the side if you rev hard and fast in neutral. :p Edit: It has so much...

    show us your swap

    How did I miss this? What year is that thing? I don't think we ever got the wagons, that is an E7x chassis, right? Err... someone correct me if I'm wrong, but your filter looks like it might be on backwards from any that I've ever seen...

    Power FC for 7mgte

    I wouldn't hold your breath. ;)

    seized?

    Note, you should make sure you have the ignition disabled (key out, might pull the battery cables too) when you do this. Just in case. ;) I'm also a little confused as to why it would die initially, but I suspect a loose wire somewhere... This very well could be your problem too. Start with...

    What maintenance would you do immediately after purchase, no matter what?

    All depends on what you call "perfect" my friend... If given the money and a month or so off work, I could probably get one of these cars into like-new condition. Considering that I have a budget to work with and only so much time available, I tackle things that I know I can handle. Remember...

    Got offered $4500 take it in run ?

    I'm kinda with JJ on this one Jordan. If someone were to offer me $7000 right now, I'd probably sell my car. The only thing I would want to keep would be the radiator. That much cash would likely buy a nice vvti 2j and new suspension setup, and I've already got another shell, turbo, ecu...

    My Tail Lights Are Different than everyone elses???

    That's how you know our cars aren't rice. :p I've never actually seen an aftermarket tail light for our car, only the covers (vinyl in some cases, plastic overlays like the Hiro in others), you sure they were aftermarket? Or perhaps a custom job?

    WRX STI vs 90 Supra 1jZ from a DIG!

    About what I figured. Well, for comparison's sake, my car makes 320whp on 12psi, which is how that run posted was made. Could be a dozen factors on why he ran that time, but I would suspect he is probably near what I am, power wise.

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    What grinds my gears? People who smoke one after another at concerts. Clearly, you are an asshole. Not as much as the pot smokers though, does ALL of that shit smell that bad? I would rather bathe in gear oil...

    What would your 1st hand gun be?

    Not lately, but all things considered, is hearing protection really on your list of concerns in a situation like that?

    1JZ Trying for 600hp on pump

    ...and heard about a lot, but rarely ever seen? :rofl: I do agree though, sounds amazing. Really looking forward to seeing if you have any bottom end grunt to aid in driveability or not.
