    Clutch that will hold 600-700 crank HP?

    I think you should direct this to Lextreme.com. They have the V8 Supra swap section. I dont know that you will get your answer there any better here, but it is just some more info.

    7m build up Qestions

    I just dont get it. Why drop close to a grand on a used engine, which might not have 30-50k, when you can save that money and have yours rebuilt. It makes zero sense. I just dont get it.

    A 1986 Supra/Celica GT? ROFL

    transmission noise and window tint removal

    I have always removed tint with a straigh razor. The glue comes off with an adhesive remover. I would rather use elbow grease than money. The noise in first and second only is most likely internal. A chipped tooth or two can do it. Is there any other time it makes the noise? Clutch...

    safety on the MKIII?

    In 95 I was rearended by a Woman in a Corolla. I realize the weight difference. And it was slow, rush hour pace. Just your typical woman not paying attention. Anyway, her front end was totally smashed. I had a scratch on the bumper. It is a heavy car with a very stiff body for a unibody, and...
