No impact on a JZ crank bolt? Have fun with that one... I'm by no means a weak guy, but I couldn't hit the breaker bar with enough 'snap' to break the bolt's torque free without turning the engine on the stand. Even if you can muster the ~200+ ft/lbs needed to break that one loose, it's a matter...

Empera on here makes some really nice custom shift/ebrake boots for our cars. Check out his thread in the "misc vendors" section. :)

I'm running the Nitto NT05 for my warm weather tire right now, and I rather like it. Cheap on discounttiredirect.com yet just as sticky as the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's that I had on an old Miata. Honestly, they'll hold just about anything you can throw at them, and handle rain pretty good too...

Why wouldn't the stock hood clear? You gonna stick some massive v8 in it and run a tall carb setup?

I wanna get an R32 one of these days and embarrass the new GT-R guys for even thinking that they're even deserving of the same badge...

Figure an update is in order. Went with the NT05, and they're quite something. I'm almost afraid of exploring what the traction limits of this car are with these tires on it. 275/40/17 on 9.5's all around, and this thing HANDLES. Ever been through the Virgin River Canyon in AZ? I made it through...

And here I was thinking my bearings were in bad shape... damn.

Hey Moy, ghetto mods are better than frozen pants when it gets as cold as it does here, thanks for the tip! :)

Happy birthday T! You could always do what my dad does and celebrate 29 until you're damn near 50... it's worked for him. :p

Is this guy you're talking to about this car named John or Johnny? If so it might be the guy I bought my Mk3 from man, he's sold a shitload of cars over the years. Not very active in the Supra community anymore though. Last I knew he lived kinda in the Tempe/Chandler area, might have technically...

Socket takes all of about 4 minutes. I think I could have walked to Napa and back in that time and still had time for lunch. ;)

A shirt on the leg? Hmm... now I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that myself. Actually just realized I have a shamwow, that'll do even better I think. So, fixing the side seals should fix that drip huh? I guess that's one way of staying cool with the targa on. :p

Eh, you might be more used to seeing fast cars in SLC, but around here, there have only been two things to outrun me: another Mk3, and a turbo Acura TL. Most of the Supras I've seen around here are pretty nice though, generally speaking. :)

Sometimes, despite the best intentions of building on a budget, and replacing potential issues on a system in order of expense and relevance... you still end up having to spend a good amount of coin on the expensive bits. Such was the story with my Mk2's cooling system. On the plus side, it was...

Do it now, before you put the motor in. Trust me. This is one of those things that while not as bad as the y-pipe replacement, is NOT much funner to do when the engine is in the car. No problem, I like being able to share my frustrations on what should be an easy task. I'd love to see someone...

Damn you IJ, I have a 2001 SS with the T56 sitting in it, that I don't like the car. A good friend of mine has an 87 or 89 (I forget) that he's pulling the 7m to put in a new car. YOU sir, are giving me bad ideas. :p

Ahhh... coilovers. You'll never go back. :love:

Haha, very, very true. People in warmer climates think you're insane for asking how the pool has been around the holidays. :p Doesn't really make much difference in my case, my targa still leaks pretty badly, so I get treated to a cold wet pant leg more often than I care to, gonna have to...

Very much an AZ roach sir, I stepped on quite a few in my second apartment down there. Pretty much ALL of their bugs are big bastards, ever heard of a Palo Verde Beetle? I still remember my mom stepping out of the car one time, getting back in, and running it over. Felt like running over a...

Yup, JZA70 cluster. Has an oil dummy light, just a low level light below the tach or speedo, I forget which. That said, this guy is pulling your leg man. Here in the states, a Supra is a Supra is a Supra. You had a very limited selection of options to choose from, but they were all nice cars...
