    Seems like that picture has been cropped, you took out all the beautiful ladies that were surrounding him when that picture was taken...

    Is there any build number info by year per color/interior combinations?

    That's what I always thought... wish mine had them, even though my heater works great, still feels nice. Plus you can cruise with the targa off on cooler days comfortably that way! Why sell the car, to fund the H1 (cool by the way, very cool)? If you've got a nice, clean Supra, why not just...

    OIL & spark plug CHANGE

    Easiest way to change the oil on the 7mGTE I ever found was to go from behind the passenger side motor mount, with an oil filter wrench. Plenty of room behind the mount and under the turbo to play. Try one on a LHD 1jz sometime, I miss my 7m for how easy it was to do the oil. ;)

    A new mini CNC mill and rebuildingy style) and in the process of building my old one.

    Albert, you machinsts didn't listen in math classes, did you? :p Some nice equipment in here gentlemen (not penis envy DT... ok, maybe a little), and I gotta give Flateric some credit for making a mill/cnc out of things that clearly were not meant for such work. A photocopier? A freaking...

    God I hate People

    At least do a better job than they did... I mean, how long did that take them to do all that, and there's STILL a usable dirt track car to be had there, easily.

    So, Mazda is killing the Rotary again...

    I prefer the looks of the NB to the early NC, especially when talking hardtops. It's not quite the weight thing that gets me about the NB, it's the fact they're getting dirt cheap, and the catalog of things FM can do to those things is like a track car's wet dream... Hell, I raced an NC once...

    Is there any build number info by year per color/interior combinations?

    More so than the teal 92 or Turbo A? Anyway, nice find to the OP, should post up a few pictures! :) Also, is a working power antenna really all that strange? I don't listen to radio (sucks around here, and where I bought the car in Phoenix, you didn't need an antenna due to really strong...

    So, Mazda is killing the Rotary again...

    VW never killed off the Beetle, just to certain markets. I believe the first and second gen Beetle overlapped production times... and as for the NC MX5, is it as good as the NB? I don't think so, but I'd be hard pressed to say they're any worse. They certainly look better, at least the refreshed...

    weekly car debate thread.

    Fisker... that makes sense. Were they the same company that did the really old Chevrolet's too? And neon taillights? Isn't neon either on or off, with a pretty substantial delay between off and on? Can't imagine how they got that to work... cool though.

    God I hate People

    Haha, I'm liking that idea, gotta post it as a reply to this nonsense. Had they tried that with my car, she'd likely have KILLED someone. Not me, the car. That thing draws blood from people she LIKES. I'd hate to see what would happen to anyone she didn't...

    Hwy 101 or I-5/ Hwy 299?

    Something to giggle about, given the CHP reference, Arizona's highway patrol is "Department of Public Safety", or DPS. CH(i)P's and D(i)PS. I thought it was funny anyway.

    Pic of 4 different size turbos, just for interest.

    Looks to be a group A turbo. The CT26, to my knowledge, is still the biggest turbo put on a factory turbo car. May have been superseded by now though...

    You live somewhere where they race riding mowers (or barstools, power wheels, etc), don't you? :p

    1JZ-GTE - CT-12 Wastegates

    If anything, colder ambient temps will increase the chances of fuel cut. Air is a bit more dense at lower temps, therefore the car can stuff more air into the motor without help, so on and so forth... I regularly hit 15-ish psi during the winter with no help other than negative ambient...

    Anyone seen this color MK3 before?

    Doubt it, hasn't he been out of the Supra game for a few years now? Have you checked this yet? Pretty easy to find, unless by some chance your car doesn't have one anymore. I think mine was missing when I bought the car, so that could be the case here too. Also check in the door frame, I...

    messed my car up this morning.....

    This. You swerve to miss an animal around here, you're likely to die, so... I don't mean to sound like a heartless bastard (very much a dog lover), but for your own safety, it's usually best to resist the urge to swerve. Last animal (only?) that I've hit so far was either a bobcat or a coyote...
