    air ride suspension

    So, what sort of body is going on that frame up there? ;)

    Importing from Japan.

    If you're wanting a cheap drift car, might I suggest a 4th gen Camaro/Firebird v8/6speed? Trust me, those things are WAY easy to get sideways and keep it that way. Even a relative newb like myself did just fine in my 01 SS. There's a reason that people put LS1's in everything these days. ;)...

    1jz intake valve ticking / valvetrain noise

    None that I'm aware of, have been using the car as a DD for two years now, and the only problem I've had is a coolant hose that I didn't replace when we put the motor together burst while driving one day, and a leaky power steering pump. Other than that, all has been as it should for the most...

    ECU placement

    Mine fits perfectly right in the stock location, even bolts in just fine too. My little secret? Take the brackets from the 7m ecu that came with your car, swap them over to the 1j ecu. ;)

    No heat but blower blows

    Also, that heater valve on the firewall has a habit of sticking, or at least mine did on the 88 I had. Try pumping it by hand to make sure the the little metal bar on the bottom of it (should be easy to see what actually is supposed to move there) can move. Push it up a few times, see if that...

    No running lights

    If your hazard light switch isn't plugged in, I believe that a LOT of lights are tied into that and won't work. Check fuses while you're at it, could be something simple. ;)

    oilpan issues

    Well what are you waiting for sir? ;) I'd even suggest a 4x4, try to spread some of that impact out. Nobody likes a dented oil pan. What about a razor knife, anyone try that method?

    T.S Project

    Went back out to Red Rock park huh? Man, I'm honestly hoping that they do a different place for the next SILV, all three years I went out there, only went to that place. Beautiful, but would be nice for some variety. :p

    All in all, wish I could have been there. Sad I didn't recognize a 1st gen Celica. Shows you just how well done it is! :p

    Spec Twin Disc Clutch

    Also worth your time to post a review on HPF's site. ;)

    Any engine parts i can take off a sc300 or sc400 for y 7MGE

    W58 in the 300 if you're lucky... not like they're a rare transmission, but still. Plus, either of those motors are a nice drop-in with a bit of work. ;)

    Got handed by a Hemi Dodge Charger.

    It's just a poor choice for one... you can get C6 Vettes for the same price these days. By the time I finish mine, it might as well be a midlife crisis car. :p

    japan classic car show

    Wish we had people around here that gave half a shit about their cars enough to do things like this. As it is, if I were to enter a local car show, I would have the ONLY non-British import. :nono: What was the orange laser-shooting thing? Looks like an old Nissan Sunny to me...

    what member do you think has the nicest MKIII ?

    Urbano definitely had a beautiful car, I think I remember seeing it at SILV 2006...

    How much have you spent on your MkIII

    Count it all joy my friend. ;) I always say that owning a Supra is a test of determination, futility, and frustration. It will draw all of those things from it's owner. :p You ever known a financial adviser that doesn't bore you to tears? I haven't... That's certainly one undeniably true...

    Adjusting the E-Brake (Handbrake) Shoes

    Ahh, I believe that story mentioned something about having someone else press the pedal to 'see' how it all functioned before they took it apart. Thanks for clarifying.

    Normally I'm not a fan of men dancing... but this guy...

    So you're saying you twitch at random moments then? :p See, that's why I think it would help if other people were in the frame, would make editing something like this a LOT harder to do I would think...

    Driving unlawfully. How old are you?

    I think pretty much everyone is an enthusiast after a ride in a Supra. I know my car has converted a few here and there. ;) Yet. ;) Trust me... it's rarely ever YOUR driving that you have to worry about...
