    Time to move on

    Yeah no kidding... pretty sure you have more parts cars than I've had Supras. As for myself, I've decided that I'm keeping the Mk3 setup I have now. Once I finish it, I will be looking at other ideas for a project/toy. Will probably always have a Supra though...

    Disturbing the peace

    Trying to keep a more or less low profile among the neighbors... don't really NEED a reason to be on anyone's radar, I'm literally the only one in the neighborhood that I've seen with sports cars. You know, I've been nearly sideswiped on a couple occasions because people are too lazy to look...

    Question to the wide-rims gurus

    Awesome, how did you get that lucky? Other guy parting out their car, or just need the money? Either way, congrats! Custom wheels from what I've been seeing seem to run anywhere from $2000usd (used) to $5000+usd (new). Not exactly something I'm looking forward to spending the money on haha...

    weekly car debate thread.

    Hey, personally I like Honda engines, at least the 4 cylinder ones. They make some particularly nice bike engines... and as much of a Toyota guy as I am, and would love to build a 3SGE Beams engine for the 7 replica, I think spending the same amount on a stock F20c or F22 would be a better...

    Stumbled apon a wonderful find...

    Things like this vary state to state. Here in Wyoming, you can apply for what's known as a "sheriff's title", they try to contact the previous owner at the last known address, you have to run an ad in the local paper for 2-3 weeks, and if nobody comes forward to claim the car, you can get your...

    lower temp thermostat replacement?

    I believe he means to put that extra quart of oil IN your engine... in my experience with Supras, definitely a good idea. Probably would have saved my 7m had I ran it with that extra quart. :nono: Good to know, thanks for the tip! Not a bad idea anyway, buddy of mine in AZ lost a really nice...

    What is the signal Frequency from the stock speedo?

    Stock tire size on the Mk3 Supra is a 225/50/16, so ~631.4mm = ~24.86" height. Nice swap by the way, I like it... And "Jags that run"? Sad what that seems to imply. :p

    Planking trend on facebook.

    Only other use of the term "plank" that I'm familiar with refers to the stick that pirates sent people walking off their ships with, so yeah... planking = death? While on the subject, why didn't pirates just toss people overboard, or make them jump off? Why bother making a special place to walk...

    Good news everybody! He's back! :p

    Disturbing the peace

    I suspect I may end up doing that one of these days, just for shits and giggles... My neighbors are rather getting on my nerves with their baseball and golf in my yard (no fence, twin homes, the yards kinda blend...), so I have every intention of putting up a couple subtle cameras, one to...

    aftermarket coolant resevoir

    More importantly, is that a fan behind your intercooler? Sorry, never really followed the build on that car much...

    FML, as they say

    Eh, mine is just a lowly daily driver/future parts car. I have another shell waiting on some bits. If THAT one gets hit, that would be a sad day... the current car is already pretty beat, so no worries.

    Jap style Exhaust - angle or straight fitment ?

    I thought the tires were what you were getting at... those Norwegians don't mess around! :p

    lower temp thermostat replacement?

    Something else to consider, no matter how big or efficient your radiator is, your FAN is what does the hard part. If your fan system can't pull heat out, your radiator (no matter how fancy) is only going to be a big heat sink.

    mk3 4 a first car

    I wouldn't have the tools or the mechanical knowledge I do (which is limited to mechanical, electrical is still voodoo to me) if not for my Toyotas. First being an old Corolla, and my 3 Supras over the years. ALL Supras will need work at some point, this is generally a fact. All depends on the...
