    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    Some teaser pics of the final mock-up. Randy's now doing some finishing work on the bumpers, the gaps between the wheels and fenders (front and rear) and the rear of the sideskirts, which had to be seriously modified to flow into the wider rear body. Randy is insisting on keeping the details of...

    Replacment leather, leatherseats.com, katzkin.com any others?

    I'm installing seat skins right now from Leatherseats.com and I'm pissed at the quality control. Wrinkly fit, holes marked in the wrong places, seams coming apart very easily because they didn't tie off any of the loose threads after stitching.

    ADR wheels quality?

    I've heard the clearcoating on ADR's peels off after one year, and seen it myself on a friends Talon. Saw a post on SF about a rim breaking, but not too sure how common that is.

    Tire siping. Worth the extra $40??

    http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tireSiping.dos Seems like a gain in wet traction at the expense of dry traction to me. Especially when you consider that ultra-high-performance tires have larger tread blocks with fewer ridges. Hell, even my top of the line BFG tires designed for maximum dry...

    lambo doors?

    The debate about Lambo doors on the Mk3 is a real anomaly. When it was a new idea and rare, a Mk3 with vertical doors was generally considered very cool and sexy looking. Now that the mod has been overdone by ricers and rednecks, the same mod is now crap? I cannot think of any other mod that...

    4" gem?

    They're labelled as 4 1/2", so it may be too big. I'm currently retrofitting 5.25" old-school MB quarts into my doors. Paper cones FTW!!

    Limits of stock turbo explained

    Interesting how much emphasis he has on the intercooler part of the equation.

    If you search/browse for boost logic there's a few high 7 sec. run videos.

    BL 6spd car 8.75 and 8.89 runs

    Wow, that's mind boggling. Still, I bet that first gear pull is a huge rush!

    Custom Clutch Group Buy Feeler..

    Since there is already a good selection of Mk3 Supra clutches out there, the biggest gap that I see is the lack of affordable carbon clutches, or anything that has ultra-smooth streetability with over 500tq capacity, without enormous plate pressure.

    anybody have cams?

    Any other feedback on gains from cams on a BPU 7MGTE? I've got upgraded fuel pumps and lines, full 3" exhaust, 550 injectors, well-tuned SAFC, 57Trim Garret CT, and about 400rwhp. If I could add 40hp with cams, would that not be the next best "bang for my buck" expenditure? i.e. $500 or so for...

    The Kaze widebody fenders are almost identical and readily available, although double the price. I got my rears shipped within a week from Japan.

    why the cressida over the supra for drifting?

    I don't understand how our cars are almost a 50/50% weight ratio with a big heavy cast iron engine in the front? Sure the rear has glass and an 80lb diff, but...??

    Anyone with A-1 camber arms?

    ^^^ Ditto. Randy (BIC) has a way of notching the camber pivots to get more adjustment out of the stock arms, and I opted to do that.
