I think this thread answers the question of "how do you know you have too much time on your hands with your Mk4?"... :p

Paging IJ... Dr IJ, report to the BMW thread... :) Honestly man, your car's fan probably won't be ABLE to cool it down below 190, and that's perfectly fine. This is where they are designed to run at. I start my fan around 150-160, and never turn it off. Engine doesn't drop below 190, even in...

Holy crap man... I don't think I've ever seen a broken extension, got a picture? I've broken bit driver bits, drill bits, and a friend of mine broke my 17mm ratchet wrench, and I may have had a ratchet pop a gear, but I've never seen a broken extension... damn.

Cat back exhausts should work with either engine, as the cat is in the same spot on all Mk3's. However, if the Mk3 has different cats for different engines (NA, Turbo) or different years (like the Mk2 did), you may need a bit more work to get it to work right. Shouldn't be too hard though. ;)

Good to know, where do you find the stuff, body shop? Anyway, to the OP, if you like it, keep it. No need to get panties in a bunch... Personally, I've always been too busy enjoying my car to care about what my tail lights look like. As long as they can be seen by people behind me if I hit my...

Mine's a hardtop, so there will be no CF targa, and taking weight off the rear of a front-heavy car seems silly (so no CF hatch either), but I'm about 80% of that list already. ;) Well, the doors... I sincerely doubt I'll bother with that. I could use the $2000+ on another project. They're...

Interesting symptom I noticed the other day, my passenger window sometimes comes up about 2-3", then stops. Window switch issue, or do I just need to pull the panel off and look for another culprit?

...when your old lady is looking for one of her own. :D

Neat. Only problem I see is adding weight to an already hefty car... at least it's mounted low enough to not hurt COG much, but still...

Long as you're having fun with the car, who cares? :) Surprised nobody's mentioned the Greddy wing yet, you don't see those every day...

I would have thought they'd have more room than that, I've seen people your size driving Miatas with the roof up, although there are a couple seat rail mods for them as well... As for test driving one, I'll just wait until one is at a local dealer to test drive one. If I end up liking it that...

It appears they only have one beam and the yellow flashers... you may not have low/high beam control on lights like that. Have you found a set somewhere?

200°F is a pretty typical operating temperature for a 1jz. On the highway, mine will fluctuate between 190 and 210, depending on the hills I'm climbing/descending.

Thanks for all the input guys, I appreciate it. Got to play with the boost controller a bit, it's hitting fuel cut, even on the lowest setting. I'm thinking that longer lines to/from the boost controller should allow the wastegate time to open before fuel cut. Thoughts?

My car traps 104 with 320whp... and it weighs about 3900 with me in it, give or take a few lbs. Would be curious to see his ET, should be decently into the 12's with that power:weight ratio.

Good to know guys, I didn't realize trucks had such low speed limits there. I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough to do 75mph in the fast lane on an unrestricted highway, that just seems like you're asking to have your rear seat crammed up your rear end...

Would be twice as fast, with half the weight! Might have trouble with left hand turns though...

Purpose of a cabin filter is to capture dust particles, correct? If so, would it be a good idea clean out the system using compressed air to spray into one of the vents, using a vacuum at another, open vent?

Steve? Dude, my name is in my signature, RIGHT below my posts. :rofl: What? Where? Ian... you've been slacking if this is true. :p Already broken for $8100? Seems a bit steep doesn't it? There are cars that would be worth that in already broken condition, a Mk3 Supra is not really one I've...

There is a button that says "HI" on your climate control. Push that one. ;) Sorry, I had to dude... :p
