Well if rebuilding Supra engines is your hobby, YOU'LL never get bored...

Beautiful car overall, minus the rear bumper, not digging that. Not so certain it's a Cusco cage either guys, I have one in my car, and it didn't have a place to bolt in the bars that go to the front (along the roof), but that's not to say it couldn't have been an addition or just something my...

12. Seriously. 12 stars. These things were designed before occupant safety was the #1 priority, which is why I've seen our cars ROYALLY put the hurt on newer cars. :p Not something you want to find out though...

Guys, KBB is NOT what insurance companies use, I don't even know why people reference KBB for anything these days. Edmunds would be a better place to start, and I believe there is one other place that insurance companies use to determine FMV on cars. Sorry to hear of your misfortune, depending...

Going off the Norbie calculator (http://akb.norbie.net/Public/Gearing.aspx), the 3.73 Supra differential gets you to about 135 or so in 4th at 6500 rpm. From what I've seen, that will put you in the mid-high 10's, at least in a Mk3. Now, for a 2300ish lbs Celica, I can't say for certain. I would...

That was pretty awesome man, I loved the drawings. Never knew my engine had so many happy parts! :p

Not like 'styling' is subtle these days either... at least not when it comes to aftermarket bits for cars. As it is, the only readily available aftermarket wing for the Mk3 is the Bomex style whale tail that Shine makes. I offered to have them replicate my Regulus, but apparently there wasn't...

There is another group buy for carbon fiber hoods on here made by Central Composites, as well as one being organized on Socal Supras by T701JZ (correct me if I have the wrong user name) on here...

Probably reading threads about the dreaded rod knock... In our cars (not sure if all cars are like this), the sound of a rod knocking is usually most audible between that rpm range.

Long as you have the space, an angle grinder is my preferred method in cases like this.

Try Zilvia (.net?), they probably have a good idea of where to get the best deals on parts. There was another Z forum I lurked long, long, long ago, can't remember the name of it now. Was a decent place to read up, nothing like our SM here, but was still pretty decent. Good luck! :)

You know, I see people on cruisers/Harleys/etc about once a week passing through (weather won't likely hit above 35° until March, if we're lucky) on the interstate. Some people are just nuts, I tell ya... Then again, when you're rolling the windows down and it's 35-40°, contemplating taking the...

Well, I didn't get a raise this year, so we'll see in the long run. Not a bad idea though. I am not necessarily stretched thin on finances at the moment, but I do have a Supra, and it still needs some parts to be complete in my eyes, so that is basically my #1 personal financial goal (behind...

Makes perfect sense given the purpose of your car though... For most things, I don't see any more than a degree being needed. :)

ZOMBIE!!! Seriously, this is 5 years and 5 months later, that might be some sort of new record...

That's true, way to look at the bright side of life! *whistles...*

Well, I signed up, contributing the maximum 6% that I can be matched by the company on. Here's hoping the economy goes in a positive direction and this investment is meaningful in the long run. :)

It's been 19 hours since you posted that... clock's ticking. :p

Yeah, I kinda did the budget after looking into the CCW and the tires to fit, not the other way around. NOT looking forward to spending all that, but no sense in going this far and then not finishing the car right...

This was approximately as close to factory specs that they could get my car when I had it aligned (damned frozen adjuster bolts in the rear...), I have the sheet showing the before/after on my setup at home, but I never noticed any abnormal tire wear on the tires I had. Granted, they had a...
