    poly subframe bushings kit

    Another thing to consider Ronnie, it's not like anyone is being forced to buy from you, if they think they can do better, let THEM do the leg work. Besides, anyone in a business should make enough profit to make it worth their time, that's just basic business. ;)

    Revisited the dragstrip... vids coming soon.

    Getting better man, getting better. What gears are you running again? I'm on the 3.73, which is NOT enough for only a 1/4 mile race in my case. I ran through the traps still in 3rd. :nono:

    Kool Story Bro<<<<<<< Very Kool...

    I've ran two C3's in my time, but in different cars. Never came away impressed by them, but like Destrux said, they can be a mixed bag. Find one made with the 427 and you'll have your hands full. ;) Either way, congrats on the kill.

    hi everyone

    Oh hello there... err, wait. Nevermind, no leg humping for you! Moving on... :nono: Just kidding man, welcome to Supramania, get some pictures up for the crowd. ;)

    HI, V8 swap

    I've seen it happen before, but nothing wrong with a V8 in a Supra. My *only* criticism of going SBC is the fact that it's an iron block, that's not going to help with handling, something I've always considered important in a sports car. Do a good clean swap, make some reliable power out of it...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I thought you were going with a big boy's turbo and aiming for 10's on your next setup? Dude, I hate to break it to you Jordan, but that thing sounds like it's missing quite a lot. Get your timing and TPS straightened out, get your codes sorted, THEN report back. Back when my 1j was missing...

    Revisited the dragstrip... vids coming soon.

    Hmm, for comparison, I only had ONE pass down the strip, but I managed a 2.147 second 60' using a slip method. Launched about 5000-5500, slipped clutch, ran the 1/8th in 8.788 at 80.53. Picked up 23.36mph to cross the line at 103.89mph in 13.577 seconds. I still had plenty of traction, and this...

    NSX / Miata

    See, if I happen to find one at a price like that (a bargain) I'd hop on one even if the Supra wasn't done. Can't say I blame you there. So, what would you recommend for looking for "serious" damage? The 89 I have now was t-boned back in the early 2000's, long before I owned it. It's bad...

    My new brakes from azp

    Buddy of mine down in AZ got one of the first (if not the first) sets of the 14.25". Things came in pizza boxes, I shit you not. :)

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    I understand the whole small car = fun thing man, it's why I've started looking for another Miata... Future project/DD. ;)

    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    Haha, I feel a bit honored that my advice helped out. :) That said, patience is hard to come by man... I've been driving mine as it sits for about 2.5 years now, gradually gathering parts. Once I pull her off the road, I'm going to have a LOT of work on my hands. At this point, I'm almost...

    Anyone put a diesel engine in a Supra?

    I had briefly thought about it, weird ideas happen when you have shells lying around... but then I remembered that I have yet to have a diesel keep up with my measly 12psi 2.5 liter "rice burner" as the diesel guys like to call them. :) You'd need an awfully big hammer to do that, those engines...

    Help 1jz flywheel

    Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I was always under the impression that flywheels were engine specific, not transmission specific. Meaning that a 1jz flywheel would fit whatever transmission you bolted it to, provided you had the right clutch setup, the clutch setup being transmission...

    MK3 Supra in Super Street

    Looking forward to it man. :) Personally, I like having my tires lined up as close to the fender edge as possible, without having anything sticking outside the wheel well. No sense in running a super wide wheel (and carrying around unnecessary unsprung weight) when you're running a skinny tire...

    Feels Slower then i think it should be ? Vids inside

    This. I drive a 320rwhp car daily, and it feels slow as shit to me, until I drive the girlfriend's Mazda3... you get used to it Jordan. Ever heard of the horsepower bug? Sounds like it's bitten you. ;)

    Should I pull the trigger?

    I've had an 88 NA and an 84 NA, both made excellent daily drivers. The ONLY thing that the NA's gave up in terms of what I like in a daily driver is the ability to hit freeway speed limits on short on ramps. There are a few here that you don't have much of a ramp to get up to speed, and that...

    MkIII Fix-It List. Anything to add?

    On the OP's original list, I'd recommend replacing the bushings. Basically anything rubber, at this point, is likely to be 20+ years old and worn out. Basically, replace now (while the car is apart) what you wouldn't want to replace on the side of the road in the dark. That's usually my rule of...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Looks much better Damien... unless you got your posts backwards, in which case put the OEM back in! :p
