    a few questions

    If money isn't an issue, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get these items from Toyota. A couple dealerships that come to mind are Champion Toyota (not sure where they are exactly, but they're good to us Supra owners), and Earnhardt Toyota in AZ (ask for Wes)...

    wheelbase ?

    Never any guarantee that your car hasn't been in an accident at some point. A decent body shop/guy/girl could repair damage without the cosmetics being hurt too bad, and *not* report it to any DMV, insurance, etc... However, my money is on an incorrect reading if the car looks/feels solid all...

    Carbon Fibre Dash cap.....!

    ...and why I kill people who bring armor-all anywhere near my interior. :nono:

    30 mpg

    I always tend to shift right at the point when it's about to start boosting under partial throttle. Friend of mine thinks I'm the biggest tease there is haha...

    BAD DAY! MY 1JZ MKIII was stolen and wrecked today!

    Far as I'm concerned, thieves don't have rights. In Arizona as well as here in Wyoming, if a man steals a horse that belongs to you, you can *legally* hang them for it, still to this day. If only this law extended to cars... Sorry to hear that man, never feels good to hear this even when it's...

    Gurren Lagann!!!

    No worries man, I liked the manga a lot, but the anime just didn't live up to it in my eyes. Just didn't seem as cool, but the story is (relatively) dark. Personally I just started Bubble Gum Crisis 2040 a couple nights ago. Not too bad so far... Anyone ever watch Berserk? Kinda makes me sad...

    The Useless Gauges Thread

    Never thought this thread would go this far... :p I always thought it'd be fun to take the face of a boost gauge out and replace "boost" with the word "fun" on the gauge. Then put it on the passenger side.

    Exhaust of a JZA70

    Exhausts are generally chassis specific, not engine specific. Most any A70 exhaust will fit most of our cars, but there is the occasional exception.

    What do you think of this "Street Series" clutch from South Bend? Rated at 520lb/ft.

    Good point sir. I try to time my downshifts so that I'm not beside people when I do it. Not like I'm daring people to race me or something, but some tards take it as a challenge and I'm left scratching my head... That said, why is downshifting causing your car to shudder that much? Are you...

    May be a dumb question

    I had a 4.30 LSD in my 88 NA, any NA that had the sport package from the factory had the LSD. Made for a good handling car in the snow. :)

    30 mpg

    Interesting, I think I'll stick with 3rd gear around town (lower speed limits I'm sure), I don't think I've ever seen worse than 17mpg in my car. Then again my odometer has been broken for a while now so I haven't been keeping track of mileage... Your comment about engine braking makes me...

    carbon fiber mk3 parts

    Hope your wallet is heavy, but I've seen (and have some) of these things around in various places. Don't think I've seen the interior door panels in CF, just the outer skin on rhdjapan's site.

    Good to hear, although I'm busy with the house and moving at the moment. Haven't even hooked the PS3 back up yet...

    How many vehicles have YOU owned!

    You had a Shiro? Oh, wait... that was an 87 or 88, right? I didn't know they had an anniversary for anything in 84?

    Gurren Lagann!!!

    Nowhere near as long as Naruto, but there's plenty of manga chapters there if they wanted to make more episodes... I agree on the Official Anime thead man... I would have to come back to it though, been watching this stuff for half my life at this point. Good to see someone else is old enough...

    Mazda 3 owners..... what is up?

    My old lady has a Mazda3, it's not a bad car, with a manual it would be fun, but the automatic kinda kills it. Acceleration really isn't much to brag about, but it's a good chassis for running through canyons if you have some decent tires on it. Part of it might be that there's no fear to be had...

    IDEA!!! Let me know how hard this is going to be.

    I kinda always had in the back of my head that I'd do this to a Mk4 if I ever came across the money. Not a problem I have to worry about, but it'd be good for kicks. That said, if the SC isn't broke, why attempt to?

    Anyone ever run a 3.4L bottom end on a 1j head?

    In all reality, if anything were to happen to mine I doubt I'd be putting too much into mine to get it going again. I'm getting itchy to move on to my next project anyway, so as long as the Supra is running still, I'm happy. And yes, quite aware that the 2j can rev to 10k, but for the cost of...

    1jz bad ticking

    Could just as easily be an exhaust leak too. I have a couple leaks on mine that I'm aware of, but not terribly concerned about. Like Chip said though, we need a bit more info to help you out...
