    I spy - somthing red? NGK Iridium BKR6EIX-11 Plugs From My 1UZ=FE

    BHG? Hate to say it, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind... might be getting coolant into your cylinders.

    Bad vibration at higher speeds

    I'll be the devil's advocate/voice of reason here and suggest that you not drive *quite* that fast, but that would be awfully hypocritical of me, and I suspect, most people on here... My guess would be the same as what's been mentioned already though, driveshaft first, brakes second.

    My Car vs 2009 Porsche 997

    I still laugh at this... you have nothing to lose here, not even dignity. If you get beat by a 100+k turbo Porsche that was built and designed to kick ass on a track, you get beat by a car in a class well above your own. And if you win? Poor guy is gonna be kicking himself...

    So... wonder how long it'll take to find out for sure what's going on?

    How often do you change your car insurance companies?

    Actually, that's not all that unusual for that age Trucker. I remember my being 19, with a clean record, I was paying nearly that much on a 94 Cavalier that was already 7 or 8 years old. Granted, I was living in Phoenix, but still. It'll go down if you keep your driving civil. ;)

    Daily Driving a 2jzgte mk3

    Pretty much, yeah. I've always been of the opinion that if it isn't broken or dangerous, try not to tinker with it. ;)

    n/a or turbo mkIII better for swap?

    I'd say keep the NA if you have the means and space, they make good part runner cars. By that I mean, all the trips you'll have to go to the parts store, they make good cars when you're working on the swap. :) Honestly though, the 90 should have proper mounts already, and the R154 is a bit...

    1j stock twin removal

    That would be even worse, there's the steering in the way on RHD cars... Let us know how that goes for ya. I remember doing the Y-pipe in the car, that probably still tops my list of "least favorite" car operations I've done so far.

    Twin electric fan and shroud kit GROUP BUY FEELER

    With a PWR and 1jz, I have *roughly* 3.25" before I could foresee interference with the water pump pulley. Would depend on placement of the fans in relation really. Wish I were closer, I'd help ya test them out for sizing. Good luck with the group buy. :)

    A stupid pully question

    Strictly speaking, I would only go with stock sized pulleys, and would only change out accessory pulleys for lighter ones (as in the DM kit, sans crank pulley swap).

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    Well said Crisp. To answer your question, and to further this thread, YES, I DRIVE MY SUPRA AND ENJOY IT EVERY DAY. :D

    Actor Ryan Dunn Of ‘Jackass’ Killed In Car Accident

    Is anyone seriously surprised that someone from the Jackass crew is dead? Shit, I figured it would have happened LONG ago... EDIT: Damn you Mario... ninja'd me. :rofl:

    How often do you change your car insurance companies?

    FTFY. ;) That said, I've been with Progressive for nearly 6 years now, they've been good to me so far. Full coverage on the Mk3, and liability on the Mk2, I think I pay something like $52/month...

    You Crazy Canadians And..

    I'd believe that, nobody in their right mind would be making out with that sort of insanity going on all around...

    Spartan living, or, "How to budget for a Supra project"

    Definitely a different world here. Every state is different even, for example, for the same price I was renting a house in Arizona, I would pay to rent a 2 bedroom apartment that's 1/3 the size here in Wyoming. However, they say that necessity is the mother of invention, right? Bet you guys...

    Retrofit coil options for 1JZ and 2JZ

    Common aftermarket applications for JZ's I've seen are either the 1zz (2zz?) Toyota coils, or the LS GM coils.

    Gauge pods

    Too bad those cost as much as some of us have paid for our cars... I'd love one someday, but not any time soon.
