    My new brakes from azp

    You'd have to fabricate that and the hats if I'm not mistaken. Easier (and more of a sure thing) to just buy them. You get good brakes, a vendor on here is able to get a good product out. Everybody wins. :)

    7MGTE fan clutch

    There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to a cooling system on a Supra... See below. To elaborate a bit, although you won't find them on every car (stupid previous owners...), Toyota put a couple small electric fans in front of the radiator to aid with cooling at low speeds, it would...

    Revisited the dragstrip... vids coming soon.

    Good job man, your MPH/ET are much more in line with where they should be. Think there's any more grip for the launch now that your clutch is holding? Could probably squeeze a 12.99 out of her if so...

    Where to find OS giken R154 close ratio gear sets.

    I was unaware of such a thing. You might have better luck finding a ring and pinion set that would help close up the gear ratios for you... is there a difference in effect between swapping gears versus swapping the ring & pinion?

    Russian scientist discovers potential "free" energy source

    Bit of a miss with the spelling of his own user name? Or was that intentional?

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

    Well, if you can't be patient, I'd say buy something that you can enjoy now, before you spend years (and thousands) on a car that you lose interest in. See the link there about "living with a Supra" in my signature? You should take a read through that... you'll understand after reading it what I...

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    I like your sense of humor sir... This might be the slowest car with a build thread on SM haha! I kinda wish you could even buy cars that simple here anymore, to be honest...

    NSX / Miata

    To be honest, I've never been a big fan of the NC Miatas. They just don't look quite right to me, although they still retain a lot of the fun factor. If I were buying a NEW car right now, it'd be the FRS, hands down. However, then we're back to the "new car but can't afford to tinker" factor...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I drove 35 miles out to the middle of nowhere, did a donut, then came back. Good times. Beautiful in person, kinda hard to appreciate on a phone's camera...

    MK3 Supra in Super Street

    The same look that's popular in Socal would get you stuck in many other places... Hellaflush = hellastuck on a dip here. :rofl:

    Shuto Kousoku - Old Japanese Street Racing Movies With Lots of MK3 Action

    I have all six of them, watched the first one... wasn't horribly impressed, but I'll check out the others, they're mercifully shorter. :p You wouldn't believe how hard it was to track these down though... Also, doesn't this thread pop up in a different form once every 6 months?

    1JZ motorcycle...

    Eh, good point. How the hell do people keep those things upright when stopped? I guess they must be much larger/stronger people than I...

    Trying to find a youtube video

    Just giving you crap man, I went to Youtube to watch it. Never actually seen the movie to be honest. Out of context, it's still creepy... Wouldn't have been out of place in a Poe story.

    Russian scientist discovers potential "free" energy source

    Well, for what it's worth, the guy shares a screen name a species of primate... what did you expect?

    WTO Membership Could Open Floodgate Of Russian Guns & Ammo

    Mike's original post, not one of yours, I was wondering if the original post Mike made implied that this was specifically about Russian made weaponry. Like you guys, I wouldn't trust a Chinese gun to not 'splode all over my hands and face...

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

    S4 is a Jetta if I'm not mistaken? Once you take away the badges anyway... Aristo is basically the Toyota equivalent of the S4, just a comfy, nice 4 door car with a bit of spunk... So if it were me and my style, it would come down to either the Jag or the Supra. If you have to work on either...

    NSX / Miata

    I've driven a Mk2 and Mk3 Supra as a daily (rain, sun, snow, ice, etc) for about 6 years now. Not too worried about the age of an NSX, it won't be my only car, it would likely be the third/fourth one. I have been thinking more since posting this, and the NSX might be a better built, better...

    1GZ-FE - My new project motor!

    Frain bart... completely forgot the volume engines used in pretty much every luxury car Toyota built for 15 years... 1uz just as common too. However, they only used this engine in one car. Displacement wise, but I don't think it really shares much of anything else... I believe the OP posted the...

    Trying to find a youtube video

    There are a good number of anime that will really screw with your head... Haha, fair enough I suppose. Laughter is better than sleep anyway. :) Your video doesn't like being embedded though...
