    Break out the custom race dashboards

    Not to get too off topic, but WOW. 15.5" front rotors??? Would love to see this thing in person. Personally that's about as far as I would want to take a Mk3's interior, I think they're beautifully setup from the factory, but that's me...

    Gas Pedal Adjusments

    I adjusted the brake pedal to bring it closer to the gas on mine a few years back. Did a writeup on AZsupracentral when I did it, but I'm pretty sure it got lost somewhere along the years... I've read that it's not the smartest way of going about it, but I have yet to ever run into the floor...

    Getting close to the actual swap! Few questions

    Been running on this clutch since late September/early October of 2010, so not terribly long, but I daily my Supra, so it's got a handful of miles on it. It is the Action brand, so far so good. Doesn't chatter too terribly much even if you only give it just off idle levels of throttle when...

    What would you build if you had a choise to do 2JZGE-NA-T on MK3 or SC 300

    Personally, I'd go with the SC, simply for the reason that I don't have one, and have never done one up before. Mk3's are getting kinda too familiar to me after 6 years of working on/around them. Not to say I dislike them or would say to NOT do the Mk3, just stating my need for something fresh.

    Break out the custom race dashboards

    I don't think you'll find much of that in the Mk3 world aside from the occasional Motec cluster setups... Unless you're looking for something like Hommer's. :puke:

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

    Haha, I think I have something like 4800 messages in my SM folder on my email... You know you're a Supra owner when your girlfriend *stops* peeing when you get sideways... You know you're a Supra owner when someone posts an ad on Craigslist stating that the tires "only have 10k on them" and...

    Your favorite CCW wheel

    Normally I don't like the stretched tire look, but that doesn't look too bad. How wide did you go on the wheels vs the tire size? Mike had mentioned the 505a, I like those as well, reminds me of the Blitz Type 03's, but unfortunately you can only get them in 18+"...

    Toyota Camry Drifting???????

    FFS, do they not have cops over there??? I'll admit, ignoring the stupidity of what I just saw, the driver has a bit of skill to keep the thing somewhat stable...

    Will 1jz stock valvetrain suit BC 264's?

    If my dyno sheet is to be believed, power doesn't fall off with stock ~7200 redline with the 264's:

    Getting close to the actual swap! Few questions

    My clutch setup: http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-stage3clutchkitforr154.php Using this plus a new factory (heavy) flywheel on my 1j. Easy to drive, and would hold anything I could throw at it with the stock turbos...

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

    Razoe, for the reasons you listed above, my Mk2 is pretty much 100% stock. It's also 100% slow, but that doesn't bother me. I know that if I need it to, it will get me around if for some reason the Mk3 decides to not cooperate.

    Tire ... of death.

    I've seen dumber movies, I promise you that. Working at Blockbuster all through high school and a bit after that, you get to see some really strange movies...

    2012 Calendar Submissions

    That would require that one of us would have to WORK on their car, I can't imagine any of us have ever needed to turn wrenches on these things... I'll see what I might have when I get home. :)

    Haha, sorry about that... but on the potentially 'real' side, April 1st falls on a Friday this year. :)

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

    Well said. I'm currently working towards getting a house. At the amount I should be pre-approved for, it should leave me with about $700 free money a month. Most of that money goes toward the car these days, but with a house on the table, who knows. After my personal loan is taken care of (about...

    why i should give up on CL...Audio Ricers

    :nono: Wow. Just... wow. I never understood the point of entering audio competitions. I guess around here, a small town, doing such a thing is just likely to get your car broken into.

    First Oil Change....EVER!

    If this is a 7m, I always found it easy to get the filter from behind the passenger side engine mount, reach up, and you should have a good shot at it easy enough. Dunno about 2j's, but 1j's are a bit of a pain in their stock form to get at with all the steering crap in the way. As for...

    intercooler/hardpipe/front bumper?

    Definitely do your homework on shopping with SS these days (there are plenty of threads to be found on that subject), I personally try to stick to vendors on Supramania here or HPF.
