    I'm considering a Borla exhaust with dual tips. Need your opinions!

    This makes a lot of sense. If I can get a huge quiet premuffler in there, then I can put a more JDM looking exhaust. I do like the below photo. Anyone know where to get something like that in the US? It looks like dual SS 4" canisters with 3.5" tips.

    Official LED bulb thread

    That site is great! On your tail lights, did you use the SideWinder bulbs? How much brighter are they than stock? Is the spread even or does it look brighter near the bulbs?

    Alpine CDA-7997/7998

    I put my deck in the bottom DIN location, and put the pocket up top in my Mk2. The deck was too deep to fit in the top. Both locations are the identical size, and you should be using the 2 factory stereo mounting brackets with no kit, sleeve, or deck trim ring at all.

    Radar blockers

    I've been running a basic Uniden radar detector for 10 years now. Quite often I get notice of a radar trap well in advance of driving through it. My unit doesn't detect laser well at all, but I believe cops never use laser at night, in the rain, or from a moving vehicle, so MOST traps tend to be...

    nm shifter

    Are you considering an "adjustable height" option? Maybe there is a way to use the stock rubber isulator combined with a sliding clamp extension of some kind for adjustment.

    EMS: Stinger vs MegaSquirt vs AEM vs ?

    Mild knocking can occur without causing any damage. It is a risk, and risks damage if not corrected right away, so I feel that knock-sensing is a good last line of defense.

    Preferred clutch brand?

    I am tending to shy away from RPS and HPF because on Supraforums I just read about serious problems like crankwalk and discs fusing for Mk3 owners.

    Deck dims

    I suggest you diagnose things to see if it is a fault in the deck or a fault in the wiring. First, check your battery voltage (should be no less than 12). Temporarily hook up a direct large power cable from the battery, say between 12 or 8 guage to both the red and yellow power wires. Do the...

    Preferred clutch brand?

    Good to know. I almost want mine to wear out so I can upgrade to something smooth!

    Preferred clutch brand?

    How about something under $1000? What do you guys think about this one for smooth engagement? http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/ACT/Clutches-Flywheels/Clutches/part/XTSS_-_Xtreme_w_Street_Disc

    Preferred clutch brand?

    So what clutch would someone have to buy that can hold 500+ lbs of torque AND be 100% smooth on the street? Does anything not shudder at all? 100% smooth slipping???? My Act 6 puck sucks on the street.

    How do 4" sound?

    After selling car audio for half a decade and hearing most speakers out there, here's my opinion. The BEST, clearest and most transparent sounding speakers are made of paper pulp with either soft dome or titanium tweeters. Most plastic woofers and tweeters sound dull because of their weight and...

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

    Probably around the end of March. Btw, I've been playing with photoshop, and this is how the widened rear might look with the kaminari bumper and a dual tipped Borla exhaust:

    I'm considering a Borla exhaust with dual tips. Need your opinions!

    I think I have narrowed my choices down to the Borla 40349 muffler and 2 of the 20155 tips. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BOR-20155&N=400310+115&autoview=sku It's a large oval tip (4.25x3.5") and should have little gap between the 2. I found a photo of these...

    Thanks! The year it's taken to get the parts and money together for this have been hard, and now the 2-3 month wait is killing me too. You can't give up on your car, btw, you've come way to far! Fix'er up!

    I'm considering a Borla exhaust with dual tips. Need your opinions!

    I agree. I actually prefer these or the single Apexi N1 look, but keeping the drone down is one of my priorities.

    I've gutted the interor for dying and reupholstering. The car is now at BIC performance, and has been stripped down. Randy's got some photos and I just ordered some new rubber. Updates soon!
