    What have I done?

    I was a Mk2 guys since '93 and still have one as my daily driver. I picked up my first 87 a year ago, and have never looked back. The horsepower and wheel/accessory options are SO worth the change in platforms.

    How do you take off the wiper arms?

    Gentle prying with a screwdriver covered in cloth may help to pop them off as well.

    Is there a difference in doors

    I hope it's not worth worrying about, I just picked up a set of hardtop doors for my targa car!! Where is this tab located?

    11 second Street Car

    I own both a Mk2 and a Mk3. Although the Mk2 would be insane with my 400hp 7m, it wouldn't be the smooth, quiet, high-speed stable car my Mk3 is. My Mk2 feels scary at 112 mph, but my Mk3 is just getting started at 130+ and is SO stable. In a perfect world, I would swap my 7M into the Mk2 and 2J...

    sissy little horn...

    I'm sporting a set of 84 Cadillac horns. Nothing beats 80's domestic horns!

    Ferrari-style tail lights?

    I'll bet most people laugh at it on the street, except for some of the kids that think altezza lights and a 5" muffler look cool on a civic. Anyone offered these pics up to one of the Ferrari forums? I bet it would make their day :)

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

    I picked up a good pair of doors, as mine had some rust. The car is pretty much stripped down now, and I'll grab some more pics next time I'm out there. It looks like I've just added a full-on LED tail light retrofit to my list as well. The sexiness of this photoshop image sucked me into...

    Suspension

    A good set of coilovers should last 15 years regardless of settings

    Engine knock - What fails ?

    I'd highly recommend using a bonding lubricant as a failsafe. Either Prolong or the Bi-Tron in my signature. One Supra owner recently had his brother start the car not knowing it had been drained of oil and ran it for several minutes. He later checked some of the main bearings and there was no...

    Possible Turbo Death Whine

    I would think that the tolerances of the turbine blades to the housing are so close that even a slight bit of side to side play would cause the blades to hit the housing and make the whine noise.

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    suprasport91 told me it could be a few months for the results. Be patient.

    Pros and Cons on BB or Journal Turbos

    If I really missed out on 200-500rpm's quicker spool on a turbo that I ran for 2-5 years, I'd be kicking myself in the ass every time I pulled.

    Oval exhaust piping?

    What kind of power would take advantage of bigger than 3"? I like the idea, although it may be louder like a 4" is.

    This is the best option. Spring and summer will be here before you know it and you will be back in boost heaven.

    Modding 89+ Tail light center to light up?

    HT5, that would probably work. Can you do one more photoshop? I'm looking at my 89+ tails now and there is barely enough room for one row of LED's above and below where the 3 amber bars are, and that limit extends across the housing. I think if you could trim off one complete row of the LED's...

    Modding 89+ Tail light center to light up?

    Looking at the housings, it would be very tricky, but I've got some ideas on how to pull it off. I think the tint would only dim the lights slightly, but not diffuse them more than stock. Pics below are from the Supraforums thread mentioned above. Tinted tails with 2 round LED's behind:

    Modding 89+ Tail light center to light up?

    Wow, HT5, talented rendering there! That looks so cool I'm finding myself seriously looking into that full-bar-across look. Because I will be spacing the LED's, I would have enough room the put the amber ones in between to create the 3 bars on each side. Hmmm! Although the amber might mix with...

    Modding 89+ Tail light center to light up?

    Looks modern! I'm wondering what to do about the keyhole, and how to keep it all water proof?
