Oh come on guys, we all know that the inside sidewall of the tire is by far the most grip-filled part of the rubber... You ever wonder why the VIP crowd can't get traction in most cases? Perhaps *I'm* the one mistaken, but isn't that what tires are for, traction? :aigo:

I've seen "frog-eye" styles used on other cars before. Could probably custom fabricate something. HKS had a glovebox gauge pod for the RHD cars. I've seen them stuffed into where the climate control, cigarette lighter, and ash tray used to be... if you can name it, it's probably been done, but...

So, good thing to replace when I stick the Tanabe's on there then?

Had either a C6 Z06 with the Z07 package or a ZR1 coming up on me last night, driving rather spirited... talk about getting sweaty palms. Probably the only car more menacing looking than the Mk3 I can think of coming up in your mirrors... Probably cost about the same too, when you consider the...

I can speak for the DD crowd as well. I've daily driven Supras for about 5 years now, about 3.25 of them with NA's, and the other 1.75 with my stock-ish 1jz. However, as I say to ANYONE, owning *only* a Supra as your sole means of transportation is foolish. Not saying they're unreliable...

Well, for reference, I launched at 5500, and like it's been said, DO NOT dump your clutch. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5rpFXdWtK4 Not about drag racing, but it stresses the importance of being smooth with your inputs. If you're impatient, skip to about 6:30 or so, and you'll...

Just to give this thread some closure, I was rather flustered with work (it's always ridiculously busy here), and my mind wasn't clear enough to make proper choices. I *should* have requested a meeting with the prosecutor, just to see what I could work out with them, but, like a dumbass, I...

A lot less than most Supras, that's for sure. I approve of this project 100%. How much of the engine did GM in their infinite wisdom ( :: facepalm :: ) stick under the cowl? Always hated that about newer cars...

Wouldn't mind some of that myself... So, is the plan here just a 2j NA, or is this thing gonna see some boost?

Can't say I ever have, but I don't track my car either. I've probably spent more time off roading in mine than on a track...

Gurley-something or other used to do them, and may still. Did a good job from what I saw too. :)

At least around here, I kinda have a love/hate relationship that I totally feel like a predator in this car. Short of the very small handful of *occasionally* driven vehicles that I KNOW are faster than me by a long shot, I feel like I have one of the fastest cars around here that actually gets...

If you can source a set of FD Rx7 stock wheels, they make for a good, cheap drag setup. They're light, but still 16's. As for tires, I have 275/40/17 Nitto NT05's on Mk4 9.5" wheels, and I'd love to see how they do out of the hole launching on boost. Trouble is, nearest track to me is over 100...

Was poking around under my car a couple weeks back and noticed this. The end links of our rear sway bars are made of plastic. Hard plastic, but still plastic... just seems odd to me. Granted, I don't think the rear sway bar is put under nearly as much stress as the front, but... anyone else find...

Check the sticky section of Mk3 general I believe for a "breakdown connection hotline" and you'll find all who were willing, past and present. Not 100% sure that's a current list, but good luck!

Quite the opposite actually, kind of like the weather. Jobs are here, but the weather sucks. Weather is great in AZ, but the jobs suck. I see what you mean, so far I seem to be in third place then, behind yourself and Kai. Whole different story, but we don't have state tax taken out of...

Err... what sort of gas is red?

So long as your cooling system is in good order you'll be fine. If you're on electric fans, I hope they pull a lot of air... My current setup doesn't much care for AZ and NV weather in the summer.

My take on the idea? If a car has high mileage, chances are it was reliable for the prior owners. Also, read the above link, there's some good info in that. :)

Haha, first time huh? Happened to me, was racing a guy with a ~420whp-ish Mk4 who had crappy tires. Outran him in the time, but it was heads up racing in that class, so whoever ends up at the finish first wins... I have good luck bringing my rpm to about 5k-5500, engaging clutch halfway, and...
