Heh, this should be a good thread... To the OP, I like your sense of humor. I hate those damned poles that appear out of nowhere! :rofl: Welcome to Supra ownership though sir, enjoy your stay.

Eh, I wouldn't say the fuel savings are really what they're cracked up to be, FOR THE PRICE. Fuel economy is alright, but to be honest... my 1980 Corolla (which I take my forum name from) cost me $350, had over 325k on it, I beat the hell out of the thing, yet it still ran like a champ when...

Get what you pay for you know? Always, always, always buy stuff like this from authorized vendors, unless whoever you're buying it from can prove it is legit... It's a cheap insurance really. Also, water cooled wastegate? What the hell does a wastegate need cooling for?

Ever heard the Weird Al song "Albuquerque"? If not, go check it out on Youtube, you'll appreciate it. Make a sandwich first though, it's a bit of a tale...

Never realized it was quite that rare. So basically it's Nissan's 2000GT then. What do these things sell for these days, if they're well-restored or in really good original condition?

To me, this is probably the very best example of a NEW, ENTRY level sports car. Miata is it's only true competition when you think about it: -Hyundai Genesis is WAY too fat -Mustang is WAY too fat -Camaro is WAY too fat -Corvette is WAY too expensive (maybe not for what it does, but certainly...

Saiga 12's are legal in the US? Would have figured you would need a special license for that one...

Perhaps you're supposed to re-use yours? Only way I can see doing that though would be to cut a thin section big enough to slip over the new cable... How much was that, if you don't mind my asking?

That's why Toyota builds sooooo many good sports cars these days, all that time spent from the 60's up until they killed the Celica/MR-S in 2005, they've really refined the recipe for a great sports car. Oh wait... :p Just kidding man, I know the business doesn't make sense for a sports car...

Ahhh... yeah, I totally misunderstood you. It goes above the black insert, not on. Been well over 2 years since I've been back there, not sure I have any pictures either, hopefully someone else does. It should lay parallel to the floor of the car, may have to twist it around a bit, play with the...

On or near the intake side of things, there should be a diagnostics box. It's about a square inch in size, black, and has a bunch of places you can put a jumper (speaker wire, paper clips work well enough) to test out different things on the car. Don't have any pictures, but it should be pretty...

Sounds familiar... Between all the weight reduction and redistribution going on with my ideas, I am verrrrry glad to have coilovers. Going to make this thing as low as is realistic for the conditions around here. I'll have to remember how to be selective about where I drive I think.

BENDER would be a fun one, for the Futurama fans among us. Bite my shiny metal exhaust gas! :p

Suck it up, it's worth it just for the looks that "normal" people give you. Dress warm though. ;)

Care to enlighten me gents? Sounds like you're talking about the fender liners to me. Mytmk3, do you have a build thread on here? I've been thinking of ideas for how to seal up the fenders on the inside lately...

Gorilla tape is cheap enough if you're really worried about the price...

My mistake, thanks for the correction. The FE motors were generally focused on lower end torque and efficiency, which is what matters more in a DD anyway. The 3sFE and 5SFE were also used in certain Celicas. Not the best for space, but also good, durable cars. That's the one I would want to...

Smart dog haha, it's got a nose for good fruit. :p I was just speaking of my little corner of the state, the rest of the place is beautiful, except along most of I80, that seems to be the source of ugly around Wyoming. North-west side is beautiful, but cold. North-east side is decent for...

The Roadster is the holy grail of Datsuns? Odd... I would have figured it would be the S30 240z. I guess to each their own, but I don't think they've ever topped that car, in 40 years now, they have yet to come up with better in my eyes anyway.

I never understood those people Andy, if I were wealthy enough for someone else to be buying cars for me, I'd probably be spending as much time as I could in HPDE's and classes...
