    My 7M passed away today

    Replacing the block and rods would be about as much time, labour, and inconvenience as parting out the car, and in the end, you'd have your dream car back instead of broken dreams. You have no choice but to rebuild. If money is an issue, drive a beater through the winter until funds come in...

    nm shifter

    I tried it too. It was remarkable how when in neutral there was virtually no play, and the shifting, although firm, was not too hard. Didn't miss any gears in the 5 minutes I played with it.

    You can replace the shaft seals on your diff without removing the diff.

    Would anyone be interested in a TRD shift knob group buy?

    It looks like a knock-off of the genuine TRD knob, since it says "Toyota Motor Sports" instead of "Toyota Racing Development". My cheapo seat belt pads say motor sports. I'd like one of these too but it would have to be $35 or less if not genuine TRD.

    Nice DVD/TV/GPS setup for your SUPRA!

    I hope it works out for you. Jensen was the cheapest and least reliable brand out of all the brands carried at the car stereo shop where I worked for 5 years.

    uh oh!!!

    Thanks. I was thinking of upgrading mine real soon since the bumper I'm going to install has a big opening.

    How much power should I make?

    Lag and wheelspin gets old fast. I'm just under 400 rwhp right now and I get the impression that 550 or so with fast spool would be ideal for the street.

    uh oh!!!

    Car to reveal which brand it is? There's a whole bunch of them out there. Is it bar and plate with internal fins?

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

    I agree, the kaze kit is brutal, except for the upper fenders :) This car will be pimp.

    Soup, are you in Van? I'm often at the monthly meets. The car was on eBay for quite a while, maybe because he was selling it in the winter. Kaze stuff: http://www.takakaira.com/asp/template.asp?id=594&cat=1&prodID=OPpLmMmhjIkgnJi

    Lowering the MkIII, but keeping stock feel

    I have the Tein SS's and I find them a bit too stiff for my liking. The only option I can think of would be the Tein Flex which lets you adjust spring pre-load to you could dial in the stiffness you want. They are $$ but are the best. Also the EDFC controller adjusts your shocks from the dash. I...

    New rims

    Might want a rear wheel spacer to flush up the rears. Really nice color, and no center caps FTW!

    Ooo, goodies from Japan arrived today! Did a quick test-fit. I'm going to have to bow these out a little more to fit the 315 tire I want. I don't want to have to run stretched tires to fit them as is. This photo shows how the fenders normally fit: They are flexible and I...

    Want to re-gas your aircon and not have to convert to R134?

    Search R12A on eBay. It is an R12 substitue freely available. It worked great in my car with no changes needed.

    Want to re-gas your aircon and not have to convert to R134?

    I'm using R12A with great success. One can off eBay did the trick.
