Having suspension that works right.

Brakes, suspension, and wheels/tires, all to personal taste. Sway bars are a good investment from what I understand, but I've never swapped any on a Supra before. For what it's worth, I wouldn't bother trying to do any sort of power mods, your money would be better saved for a turbo engine...

Nothing wrong with running a quart over whatever the manual recommends on our cars. In fact, I suggest that you do. Might have saved me a knocking bottom end on my old 7m after a particularly nice burnout a few years back... I run between 6 and 7 quarts in my 1j. Not terribly hard, and cheap...

The comments on here pretty much sum it up: do your research BEFORE you buy. I bought mine from some Importer that was based in Georgia, but then moved over to Galveston, TX. Can't remember the name, but they were a GREAT company to deal with. Unfortunately though, they are out of business, last...

Sounds like fun, but poses a question... on the speed limitless autobahns, how does Germany treat enforcement? I could see how I and other friends drive might be considered "racing" by authorities here in the US, but I've never really heard how they treat that sort of driving over there.

You got it. Thanks, I had forgotten the guy's screen name. Supposedly he's back to finish what he started, I'm looking forward to it!

Isn't this just plate fees/vehicle registration? Both Wyoming and Arizona (the places I've lived so far) charge a yearly or bi-yearly amount for vehicle registration and plates. Wyoming, it's pretty obscene, I think I pay $130-140/year last I checked, on an 89 Mk3, and ~$85/year for the 84 Mk2...

Awesome man! My *only* experience with AZ emissions was rather amusing. My mom and dad had driven the car for the prior 75k before I got the Cavalier, and a couple years later, it came up for emissions. The only two things I changed from their driving habits was the use of 91 octane (waste of...

Call up Enkei and ask them for the measurement inside barrel of the wheel, in relation to the hub face of the wheel. Should give you an idea of where to start.

What engine are you trying to stick a 5m hose on? It might work, but I've found a lot of these need a bit of trimming or custom fitting...

50k, that's all? Where's my wallet..?

Also a drag car. I have faith in Steven, but I will believe it when I see it actually work. Get the GoPro ready and prove us wrong! :D I believe you speak of the "101mm stroke of insanity" build thread from a while back. I don't remember who it was now though... he popped in to say hi not too...

Not everybody reads the intro threads, so don't feel too left out. ;) Welcome aboard, sounds a lot like my car for the most part sir. Care to post a pic or two?

Good lord man, I thought some of the cars I had worked on were bad... that's just a nightmare. :nono: No wonder you've had all these problems...

Ahh... I love all the speculation here. Has anyone on here driven one? ...Didn't think so. Excitement is awesome, it's what keeps the enthusiast market alive and all, but we may love this car as is, never know. All it would take for me is a set of aggressive gears. I don't even want to be able...

You would be correct in assuming that here. Do they occasionally stop spinning at idle? That doesn't seem healthy to stop/start like that... so the exhaust is just blowing by the turbine without having any meaningful impact?

Haha, have fun with that. I put a Hello Kitty sticker on my back window just to add insult to injury for those dumb enough to rev at me on an empty road... it has a pink bow too. :p

That's too bad Jared about the Fluidyne and Koyo rads... I love my PWR, but fitment with a JZ is a bit tight concerning fans. 7m, no such worries. :)

Still crazy, and like Nash pointed out, he lives his life a quarter mile at a time. :p

Sorry, the southeast is the one part of the country I haven't been to. Unfortunately, enough of it comes to me... I swear, is it really so hard to enunciate when you speak?
