    rod knock?

    Finnon, have you tried this yet??? You don't need special pliers to do that. If you get shocked just man up and keep going.

    whats a better clutch act,southbend or spec

    I installed an Autozone Duralast clutch in my turbo car when I was bone stock. I needed a clutch bad, and didn't have $500 to buy an upgraded one at the time. I eventually started modding my car, and always told myself that I would get around to upgrading the clutch when it wouldn't hold...

    MK3 Crash Safety?

    Well, taking a look at bowsercake's MKIII just above my post doesn't really look like "little to no damage." And he was only doing 5-7mph faster in his Tbone accident. I'd say my car held up pretty good.

    MK3 Crash Safety?

    I Tboned a newer Honda Pilot in my 2001 Mazda Protege. She pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes(ABS), and by the time I hit her I must have slowed down to around 30-35mph. The point of impact on my car was mainly the driver front side. I'm sure If I hit that SUV doing the full...

    MK3 on a rotisserie

    I usually see much older cars on rotisseries, but I guess. Older cars usually need new floor/trunk pans and such. That's why they're on them. Why are you stipping the undercoating? Ok, what I'm trying to say is... 1. Your supra is in such good shape why would you strip it down to that...

    Cars Totaled....

    I'll buy all of your mods for $400!!! Seriously, I'm surprised that USAA didn't come up with a better offer after you provided all of the reciepts. They are usually the insurance company that's better about giving your the high end value of your car if totalled. I just delt with them about...

    OS Giken...

    Send it back to OS and rebuild it. It's one of the better clutch kits you can come across.

    it finally happened BHG

    I know, and all cars I've ever owned that that too. When I would change out my thermostat I'd run the car uncapped to try to get all of the air out of the system. When the car started warming up coolant would rise and begin to overflow. When you rev it it would shoot up. The faster you rev...

    If you ever want to sell your car......

    I don't know how much you have invested in your car, but I don't think you'll ever get an offer like that again. Seriously, think back at all of the MKIII big dogs that has sold their cars... did they ever get 19K? At least you recoup some of your money back. I dunno... that's just me.

    it finally happened BHG

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was normal on every car. When you rev it I would think that's your waterpump pushing all that coolant out faster causing that geyser. That coolant is under heat and pressure when the car warms up. That's why you have an radiator cap &...

    If you ever want to sell your car......

    Dayum! I would have sold that car in a heartbeat. If I could sell mine for anything over 6K it's gone!

    If you ever want to sell your car......

    Good point. I wish I was able to put it on their lemon lot on the base. What kind of offers for what kind of condition of your MKIII are we talking about?

    How much would this cost to fix?

    Alot of check in the "bad" column is not a good thing. And those are the checks that you can visually see. That car could have alot of underlying problems that will cost you $$$ down the road. Rare? Come on, it's a MKIII Supra. It's not like you're going to see one of these rolling down the...

    Son, dad .. car relationship

    Funny vid. I bet his Dad was kinda scared that his son had a very powerful car. Reminds me of my step dad. He was bragging about his co-workers '95 Impala SS. He told me that my 6 cylinder could never hang with his corvette engine, turbo or not. I kept telling him that if he's stock...

    Farewell to tha Supra

    Glad to hear you're ok. Was he determined to be at fault? If so it looks like you've got some cash coming your way. My suggestion... swap in that 7mge into that 240 and na-t that thing. You have everything you need to at least do the non-turbo swap. Just have to fab the motor mounts and...

    NEW addition to the Apartment

    That was my first thought. When I bought my first 5.1 home theater system (back in '95) I couldn't even watch movies without my neighbors complaining. I had the volume turned down so low that it was pointless to even have the system. If I turned it up they'd come knocking on my door, or...

    San Antonio Raceway. Are you from here? Ah, I just visited your cardomain. Nice supra and times. Do you frequent SAR, and when is the next time you'll be down here. I'd like to see you run 11's for the first time.
