Global warming my ass huh? :p

Well, in all fairness, it was an unseasonably warm winter until around Thanksgiving, and then again right around Christmas too. Then it warmed up again, a bit... and now this. Oh well, supposedly gonna be back up into the 20s and 30s soon, I'll probably be rolling with the targa off it's...

Beat me to it. I have one of these, they're pretty nice. Not especially cheap though, I think I paid something like $350 for the whole setup?

Either Grimjack or Poodles posted up a good thread about this recently, dig through a few pages of threads in this section to find it. ;)

You know, anyone else get the feeling that Duane is to the Supra world what that guy in the Dos Equis commercial is to the beer world? Everybody talks about him, and he doesn't even have to say a word. :p Congrats though man, I knew you were laying down serious power, but wasn't sure of specifics.

So, it was -19° F AMBIENT when I pulled into the office today. Don't think my car has ever had that much trouble starting. My passenger door is STILL frozen shut to the seal along the window. Oh, and then there's the wind chill... give or take, it's been between -30° and -40°. That's the point...

I've always been of the mindset that you show up within a few minutes, but unless something very pressing comes up, you always volunteer to stick around until needed.

For what it's worth, our influence here is worth next to nothing. I have access to a fiber connection that has ABSURD speeds, but that's because it's part of a major internet backbone that runs through the area (and is used to branch out to a LOT of areas). Only reason I have access to this is...

You won't get much sympathy from me sir. It was -19 AMBIENT here this morning. it's gotten up to about -12. Wind chill is pretty much one of those "might kill ya" things right now. Think the point where Celsius and Fahrenheit cross paths on the low end of the spectrum. ;)

If that's the stock 91-92 wheel that's a 16x7, I wouldn't go wider than the stock 225/50/16. If they're Mk4 16/17x8, I'd stick with 245 widths or lower. I'm currently running 255/40/17 on 17x8 Mk4 TT wheels, and the sidewall is squishy as all hell. Good way to think of it is that you want your...

I still wouldn't mind the "elderly" sticker there... you don't see those. Or "STUDENT DRIVER" on my car somewhere. :p

This. You've already put this much effort into it, why stop now? Just pick up a used early 90's econo-car (Civics and Corollas come to mind, Subarus, etc) for ~$2000 (which is about all you'd realistically get for an n/a auto Supra anyway), park the Supra, and have a backup car that's cool. :)

Pretty sure you can buy all the parts from Mazda, except for the housings, which if I understand the setup correctly, are modular anyway? Kinda off topic though. So to the OP, what's your budget for this sort of thing? I've seen rwd Corollas fetch some pretty princely sums in recent years...

^You mean these? I kinda wanna get one of the "elderly" driver badges, seen below...

Give me a couple week's notice and some warmer weather and I'd be down for a get together. Not when it's cold as balls out though. -13 here today, WITHOUT wind chill.

If you don't have another car to drive as a DD, you're asking for trouble. Can anyone *besides* the rare original owner say that their Supra has never left them in a bind?

The internet... it's serious business folks.

I honestly think it's natural to think of suicide. At least it has been for me, contemplated it for the last ~15 years, but never really saw that the negatives of life outweighed the positives enough to actually do it. That, and it helps to have a few good, solid friends you can fall back on...
