    Front bumper conversion

    Yes, Chriso is right. If you want the grills and signals to bolt on properly you'll need the big metal bumper support AND the upper header nose panel. I'm swapping my bumper and will be selling everything required. Need it?

    Is it so bad?

    "Fast" is like cocaine. One hit and you'll be wanting more.

    car has no power please help

    Did you short out the main wire to the alternator? If so, trace the wire and check all fuses and fusible links. Lastly, test the battery in case it was damaged by the short. Good luck! Should be fixable.

    CPS Rewire

    The plug removal/rewire is worth it. It solved my hot start problem 100%. The mismatched colors suck. I messed it up! Either label them with masking tape or do one at a time.

    I gave in...

    My car came with an aluminum driveshaft. The previous owner said it was one of the best "kick in the pants" mods he did. Enjoy the faster acceleration!

    door jamb black pivot thing

    Mine was broken/missing and I replaced it. It makes the seatbelt slightly less tight on your chest when the door is closed, and when the door opens, it pulls tighter to reel in the belt. I think it's a comfort thing.

    What do you guys think of my front bumper photochop? :)

    Just for interest's sake, I'm going with a Bomex bumper with the center and side holes filled like this. (Available from the bomex group buy) I think it really makes the car look more modern and less 80's. PS: Why not just get a Shine turbo A duct? I think it looks better than a gaping hole.

    CLEAR REAR INDICATOR CONVERSION.......

    The JDM tails look the same as the USD ones, just a bit darker. Same exact style.

    Upgrades: Is there a 'best' order?

    Girls driving cars they're not used to is a bad idea. My sister crumped the front on my Mk2 the one time she borrowed it!

    CLEAR REAR INDICATOR CONVERSION.......

    For simplicity of shipping and install I think the side marker lights will be a quick easy sell. I'd buy a set right now it they were available. Also, I think the vast majority of people prefer the 89+ 3 pce tail lights (which are already red and clear) so the market is limited with the 87-88's.

    For those of you who have painted your interior parts...

    Nice. Is that gloss or flat paint? I'm still trying to choose. Any opinions on which is better? Gloss paint, or flat paint and use armour-all later?

    For those of you who have painted your interior parts...

    I've got a 2-tone interior set from Leatherseats.com, but I will install it during the winter when my bodywork is getting done and I can gut the interior, paint it, and install the leather. These photos I found on the net but my car will be pretty much identical except I chose a darker grey...

    For those of you who have painted your interior parts...

    I'm going to paint my intererior (with SEM products) but I wasn't sure if I should use a glossy, or flat plastic/vinyl paint, and then use armour-all after. I like the glossy look of an armour-alled interior but I want it to look proper. Do the glossy paints looks like this, or do they look a...

    Interiors, would like your opinions!

    So you used a glossy vinyl paint? I'm going to paint my intererior but I wasn't sure if I should paint it glossy, or paint it matte and then use armour-all after.

    The Supra Gods are a cruel bunch!

    Hot start problem. My new(used) Mk3 did the same thing. 4 out of 5 times it would crank but not start when hot. The previous owner could not find the problem. After reading a few posts I thought it might have been the CPS (cam position sensor) or plug. Sure enough, after jiggling that brittle...
