    1JZ-GTE swap difficulty???

    Mechanically, easy. Electrically, considering I'm *not at all* good with electrical and wiring, difficult. That said, it's a Supra motor going into another Supra, can't go too wrong. :)

    1j Fuel cut, cut

    Make sure your plugs are gapped correctly. I had a similar issue after replacing my y-pipe (oh how fun that was...), gapped the plugs to something like ~.28 or .028 (I forget exactly), and the problem went away. You shouldn't be hitting fuel cut until after 16psi on a 1j.

    Remove Area Around Quarter Panel Glass

    You're not really complaining about having to take the interior apart are you? I think by now, I could have the entire interior (minus dash) out in less than an hour... Done it enough times by this point. Anyway, these parts tend to be brittle 20-odd years later, so be careful and take your...

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    Heh, definitely more to be had from the car. I had mine up to ~148-150 with the windows down about 7 months ago. Kinda hitting the drag wall at that point though. ;)

    Did gay blue supras come with grey interiors?

    Mine didn't. Every blue Supra that I can recall had the blue interior, although I could be mistaken on the later years...

    Tire Decision Help

    If you can get a GSD3 in a size you want I can vouch for them as well. I had a set on the Miata I had, and if they made them big enough for what I have in mind I'd be happy to purchase another set for the Supra. Long lived, great tracking, and hold the road very nicely. I couldn't even get 205's...

    shimming the stock pea shooters

    Aren't you going a bit past the efficiency range with that high of pressure on those little turbos? I figure you're just blowing in hot air after 16-17 psi... unless you've upgraded somehow?

    Color Poll

    Keep in mind that Mk4 rims are not only light, but wide, and cheap, all good things. Looking at Enkei RPF-01's, I don't like the style, but I'd rock a set in a heartbeat for the exact same reasons. :) That said, don't let someone else's opinions sway your decisions. In the end, it is YOUR car...

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    ...when you learn to shift with your drink between your legs. ;) Or when you learn that a 20-32oz bottle fits beautifully between your left leg and the door.

    6 years later... Haha, I'm in for some updates, sounds like a fun setup. :)

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    This is about where I stand. I've always appreciated the guys and gals fighting the good fight (despite the odds), but those who treat it as any other job... I dunno. I think you have to find that point of balance where you're caring enough about your position that you do a commendable job, but...

    I would like to sale this <whatever>.

    Being a grammar nazi in these days is akin to being a "I wish people would stop driving like complete assholes around me" nazi. :nono:

    The fuel is... Just like you can get "green" Lambos. They're just colored that way. ;)

    Color Poll

    Hahaha, that is very true. I have the only running Mk3 around here, at least that's driven with any frequency, so I don't get mistaken often. Except for a friend of mine, briefly confused my car with a F430 because of the color being close... I believe the Lexus color you speak of was on the...

    Rear Hatch Glass

    You could go with custom glass, but it would likely be cheaper to buy another hatch from another member. Sorry to hear the bad news. :(

    How to tell what transmission i have?

    What about when you're already moving? Not shifting into reverse when moving, but into the next gear... I've had infrequent issues with my car going from 1-2 on hard acceleration. Usually only happens if I'm near redline.

    Help! Radio, Lumbar, Blower Motor, Power mirrors and windows do not work!

    Congrats on getting the Supra back in line. :) As far as the passenger window, DJT, I had the same issue with my car this past weekend. Was rather sporadic... perhaps our wiring just needs some attention after all these years, could be a bit of grime on the connections?

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    Not gonna lie, I used to do 130+ in the SS on the way to work at 330am when I lived in Phoenix. Freeways are absolutely dead that time... that aside, what is a stationary officer going to do to catch you? Short of having a Vette patrol car and doing 175+ to catch up... in that case, "your...
