If it were me, I'd go with at least an 8" width on those wheels. 7" isn't bad, but you're kinda limited to a 225 or skinnier tire. Offset is really close to stock (if not the same, been YEARS since I've had stock Mk3 wheels anywhere near me), so they'll be fine in that respect. If you're wanting...

Using an F head to turbo a Celica? Interesting... Maybe post a build thread at some point, sounds fun! Welcome to the madhouse that is SM. We're a pretty well rounded bunch, so if you do run into something odd, never hurts to post, good chance someone has been in your shoes before. :)

Hey, once the wizard gets his hand on it, this thing will decimate all!

I had one of these explode on me a long time ago, so it was removed. Seems to be a lot of debate on the subject though, are they necessary to keep heat out of the interior? In the summer I just turn the temperature down to 65 and it seems to blow cool air well enough...

Let's put it this way, with headwork, I could see 350whp being realistic at the upper limits of flow that the stock twins can put out. To put it another way, once you do the head work, your 'awesome' little twins are going to become a choke point on the motor. My car is a blast until it hits 5k...

1. Check the TSRM for troubleshooting tips 2. You can make one, but you won't find any at Vatozone. 3. See #1 4. Silver Mk3 answered this one pretty good. 5. With a hack saw and enough experience with body work, sure, but if you're asking, I wouldn't recommend it. MUCH cheaper/easier to merely...

No shit... glad you're doing better man. Cancer's some scary stuff, that's for sure. :(

Heh, when I was younger, I was lapping people on the go-kart track at Castle's N Coasters in Phoenix a LOT. Probably where I got most of my driving ability from early on actually... I don't see a problem with it, as long as you have control of the situation, foot on the brake, hands on the...

Seems you're new around here, Supracentral posted that a few months back. Was good for laughs for sure! And audio books on Youtube? YES. What are the odds they'll be pulled for copyright claims?

I'm kinda a music nut, I could listen to just about anything in my car... so I'm not picky. That said, some setups (audio equipment-wise) lend themselves to certain kinds of music. Are you just looking for new music? I'd suggest Pandora radio, can expose you to some good stuff. :)

People who drive Mustangs don't really make sense to me, no matter how nice they are, you see 20+ of them at every car show I've ever been to. They're the domestic version of the Celica, a mildly performance oriented vehicle for the brand. That said, I don't understand how a string of digits...

Yeah, the Koenigggseeegggerrrr would be fast, exclusive, and quite fun I'm sure, but I'd still rather have an F40. It's my one and only "lottery car", the car that I would ONLY consider buying if I had won a fairly substantial lottery prize.

Huh... can't say I've ever seen that. But I think I've worked on maybe 2 v8's in my entire life. I've learned to first look up and do homework on a potential job, and potential headaches to avoid... hasn't really saved me any yet, but I suspect it will someday. Like GI Joe taught us, "knowing is...

Whoever wins that has a LOT of work on their hands (wonder how much new windows cost all around?), but the price, at least for now, is about right for a shell. Nothing a bit of time with an experienced body work friend couldn't fix though...

I support the idea of bigger engines in bigger vehicles, sure, but in something like a Supra, we don't exactly have much room to work with... Plus, I'd much rather have a more responsive, fun to drive engine, than some big lug of a low-revver that makes more power. LS1 is a good mix of both, and...

^No worries man, cages are a good way to fix the wobbly bits too. Just less interior space afterward... and my Supras will all be hardtops soon anyway, but a stiff chassis is never a bad thing. :)

A lot of comments so far on how common Camaros are, and it's VERY true. I see more Corvettes every day than I see Supras, because I only see two around here: mine.

I've seen head gaskets let go after only a few hundred miles... granted this was on a car with a penchant for breaking, so nobody was surprised. Have Rich with SIP Racing get you a quote for a long block. That's what I would be doing if I wanted a 7m built. :)

I laid down 320rwhp at 12psi on the stock twins. Only mods on my setup are 3" exhaust from the turbos back, BC 264 cams, and porting/polishing of the head. EVERYTHING down to the intake is otherwise stock, and this was spinning 275's out back, so they aren't light tires... it's pretty much a...

I'll be the first to chime in and let you know it would be MUCH simpler to just buy a targa shell... :nono: EDIT: Just saw that you have both cars... why take a hack saw to the roof when you could just drive that car?
