    Knock as the engine reaches Operating Temp

    Wouldn't you have to pull two plugs at once? IIRC, they have shared coils on a bracket... three pairs of two plug boots?

    Drain Train Vibration/noise

    For what it's worth, HPF has a carrier bearing that is on clearance. Would have bought it myself, but the money can go toward a one piece later, it should be fine until then.

    First track day coming up

    Brakes and cooling are actually the only things that are keeping me from playing on the track down in SLC... Anyway, good luck, get some video if you can, we always like that. :)

    MKIII- Carbon Fiber Regulus Nose Panel: Interest Of Group Buy

    I would check with Shine Auto. I forget the exact prices, but they were quite reasonable considering I could have used the boxes for makeshift beds...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Forgive me Noel, but I have to ask... are you finished? It doesn't look bad, just wondering if it's a scheme in progress. :p Kinda reminds me of the old TRD logo actually... Anyway, I wiped mine off with a rag the other day. Waxed it last week, I just discovered the stuff (never bothered...

    92' Turbo Supra Suggestions

    Welcome to the less fun part of owning a nice Supra: worrying about everyone else. For what it's worth, worry can add nothing to your life but stress. True story, it's even in the bible. :p Seriously though, was having a discussion about this with a coworker recently. It's hard finding that...

    A quick question to all you toyota pimps out there....

    Ronnie K is a member on here. I'm not 100% sure the difference between what he sells and the Energy Suspension bushings that Driftmotion sells, I need to look into it more myself.

    Toyota scion fr-s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not terribly worried about previous owner issues. I bought my 2000 Miata for less than half of what it sold for 6 or 7 years prior, and it only had ~65k on it. Was still in great shape, needed the cat replaced, but other than that... was a good car. Then again, if you held a gun to my head...

    Gran Turismo 3 hidden video? Mini Cooper VS F1 car, long shot here...

    Does anyone remember on GT3, there was a replay video that is unlocked at some point (% of the way through the game?), that features a Mini Cooper versus a Formula 1 car on Grand Valley Speedway. I KNOW that this video had Andrew WK's "Get Ready to Die" playing in the background, at least on my...

    Knock as the engine reaches Operating Temp

    Just an idea, but I have an exhaust leak somewhere between the head and the exhaust (obviously), and it's had the paranoia in me think it was a rod knocking. Although in my case it happens only when the motor is colder. Could also be the engine miss firing, perhaps? Mine does that on occasion...

    Drain Train Vibration/noise

    Sure thing man, that was my only thought worth contributing in this case. I've never heard of a carrier bearing fixing itself, so... I'd still be suspecting that.

    First track day coming up

    Are your cooling and brake systems up to withstand some serious abuse? Those would be #1 and #2 on my list, followed by tire condition and engine condition.

    Coilover users and Racing Supras

    ...that are plated gold and signed by the pope. ^This guy, he's a bit of a baller. :p

    A quick question to all you toyota pimps out there....

    Ronnie K sells poly bushings for our cars, good stuff. As for the ball joints, I don't think I've ever driven a Supra that didn't need those replaced while I owned it... 20+ year old rubber is about run its course by this point. As for the suspension and under-car stuff, I would spend money on...

    megan racing ez street series coilover!

    When I jack the car up, I have about 2.5-3" of wheel travel until it is off the ground. Thoughts? They came installed on the car, and I've only adjusted the height and dampening to my liking, I haven't messed with the pre-load at all, and I'm not certain the original owner did that correctly...

    Toyota scion fr-s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You guys do all realize that there will be plenty of these things in the 15-20k range in a couple years, right? Be patient. ;) I mean, there's no way in hell I would have been able to touch an NSX 10 years ago...

    Check Driftmotion for a new speedometer cable, and make sure it's routed correctly to avoid the exhaust...

    ma70 vs ma71 vs jza70 Center Support Driveshaft Bearing

    The drivetrain is the same from transmission back, save for the 4.10 Torsen. ;) Now that I think of it though, it might be different between the W58 and R154...
