    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    Ouch! I think I'd be looking for a different wife. :p Also, if you're on your 5th Supra in 6 years...

    About to Rip the Dash off Question...

    Another word of caution from experience, and a tip: -Make sure you got the hoses from the engine bay for the heater core back on the nipples PROPERLY. I (or whoever put those hoses on when we were putting the car back together) didn't get the hoses on enough, and it not only leaked coolant...

    1988 Supra VS C5 pro charged corvette

    Brake light thing came to my mind, there's an adjustment you can make, it's behind the arm that attaches the brake pedal to the car. Behind that arm, is a switch, and a couple of nuts behind it. From there you can loosen/tighten those nuts (I forget the exact procedure), this changes your point...

    2012 Calendar Submissions

    LOVE it. Are they gonna eat the poor little jellybean? :rofl: As for all the uproar in here, nobody's forcing you to submit pictures of your car, neither are you being forced to buy it. Therefore, how the calendar process is handled is of NO inconvenience to you. Those of us who are grown up...

    So how many mk3's have you junked/scrapped?

    Jeff, two out of those three, I don't think anyone would really miss. ;)

    Do we have at least 12 mk4 owners...

    Hey we all know Mk4's pull the ladies... classy or not. The things I've seen done to/on Mk4's, I cannot un-see.:barf:

    10-12 is a good point that provides a balance of turbo safety and fun factor. :)

    Question on JDM front lip-

    HPF recently had the lip itself listed as available, but I'm not sure on the ducting. Might be easier to build something of the sort using a Shine Auto lip and save a bit of cash while you're at it...

    Who has the oldest Supra?

    Fair enough. Badge on the nose says the same thing, but to take it back to the domestic agreement, it's almost like comparing an L98 (L88?) C4 Corvette to the ZR1 C4 Corvette. :)

    Twin turbo 302 v8 swap

    Good luck finding an original ZL1 these days. IIRC, there were 48 Camaros and 2 Corvettes that got that engine 'officially' (build sheet records). Might be 2 Camaros/48 Vettes, I forget which. Either way, engine was an all aluminum 427, and had such high compression it had to run on the tears of...

    So how many mk3's have you junked/scrapped?

    Donate it! High school shop classes, aspiring drift teams, etc... ;)

    Strategic planning for home invasion situation

    The fact that people have dogs that weigh nearly as much as I do scares me enough, I'd hate to have one get loose on me if I were in the wrong place at the wrong time...

    Recent stuff-

    Eh, my mistake, I had thought you were a gamer yourself. No worries. I'm kinda in the same boat with the Elder Scrolls games (the series Skyrim is a part of), I can watch them for a while, but fear if I played them, I'd never spend time elsewhere. :p

    I started out at something like 8-9psi on the stock y-pipe, that went up to about 12psi with the ebay POS y-pipe, and with an MBC I have run upwards of 16-17psi, but if it hit around 17-18psi, it would hit fuel cut on me, so I backed off. Honestly though, 12psi feels pretty similar to 17...

    what front bumper is this???

    I almost wish they made this bumper for the 86.5-88's... I like the combo with the Turbo-A duct, but I think it might look even better with the older style middle section there.

    Crank pulley bolt removal

    If you can't get to it with an impact, I would suggest the biggest breaker bar you can get your hands on, and utilize a pipe to gain leverage on the bolt. However, your engine is going to want to rotate... therefore you must be QUICK, and deliver enough torque on that bar, WITHOUT giving the...

    Blow off valve

    How did it break, in the middle of the screw? Looks almost like there is still a place to stick the allen key in there...
