The stock airbox is a quality setup, unless you're willing to make your own heat shield or duct fresh, cool air to the filter, I would personally leave it. For reference, I made 320whp with stock Y-pipe (or was it the 3" ebay special? I can't recall, this was YEARS ago), 3" exhaust, BC264 cams...

Western Colorado is a beautiful part of the world, for sure. Drove VERY out of the way on our way to a Rush concert in Denver one time, just so we could drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. I had no idea the views we'd see, all I cared about was how twisty the roads were! ...that quickly...

All this talk of what folks carry makes me realize that a 1911 is a fine gun, but not such a great choice for a small frame fella like myself. Need to see if I can find myself something that is more carry friendly for me that I can stand the feel of...

Cosmoline is what Caterpillar uses, and while an effective rust preventative, it is a pain in the butt to clean off.

Top of my head, I can't recall, and I've got the ARZ Wilwood kit all around on my car, so can't really help you here, unfortunately. Have you checked the parts breakdown in the TSRM? That should have a good exploded view, showing you all the parts that should be there...

Not bad! Making that much torque and having only 160hp seems odd though, is that a misprint?

At first I was thinking, "WTF is going on in HERE???" then I realized... dude. Good job! Seriously, this might be the most extreme Mk3 I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of cool stuff over the years. It's a good thing I'd not seen this build before I started mine, you sir, would have been a...

OG cereal eatah here, I had the Oreo-Os when they were a new thing, back in the day. The 90's had some good innovations... Also have eaten a box of the new version. Pretty sure it's the same recipe as it was then, as it certainly wasn't difficult to eat a whole box in a few days. In the dark...

Heh, my HKS Silent Hipower is more of a suggestion than a muffler, by comparison. :p

I rarely quote myself, but man, was this a prophetic post. I may need to revisit this thread, with the things I've learned in the near-decade since I initially wrote it. As always, feel free to add any advice that can benefit others in here, things your Supra ownership has taught you over the...

Of all the folks I meet at SIV every year, I'd say at least one in four is an engineer. Lots of military folks, as well as a pilot or two, couple doctors, etc... I think I'm in the wrong field haha. Heh, well said Andy. These cars suffer no fools, that's for sure! Mine has only tried to light...

So, Megan brought home some peanut butter chocolate Cheerios... good stuff. Speaking of Cheerios, do they still make the apple-cinnamon ones? You know, the ones that had the little chips of what I can only assume were dehydrated apples on the cereal?

After some discussion with some more experienced folk, I've come to a different conclusion in my case. The exhaust housing of my turbo is a bit on the small side. The turbo spools up hard, stuffing the head full of air, but due to the smallish size of the exhaust housing, it has a bit of trouble...

It's been something of a long "short" week for me, so perhaps I'm a bit confused, but did you find the answer you were looking for? Stock Mk4 doesn't have any sort of vent where you circled, at least not that I've noticed anyway? On some cars the engine bay vents through a hole in the side of...

Just need a bigger toilet Koenig haha! Good luck sorting out old OEM hardware bits, some of the more unique stuff can be hard to find a suitable replacement for, unfortunately. I can't remember any specifics off the top of my head, but I've used a few parts I discovered at work (Caterpillar...

Thanks for sharing your findings Pirate. Mine fell off my 88 NA back in the day, the weld failed right at the inlet / pipe joint. That was an embarrassing day or two... everybody trying to race me from the stop lights, that car was so slow until you got the weight out of its own way haha. Very...

Ken, I think more than anything, what us Mk3 owners need these days is quality reproduction trim. Trim for both the windows and the belt line, it has become one of those things where IF you can find it, you will pay dearly for NOS parts. I think as these cars get older, things like this will be...

All this legal nonsense makes me appreciate Wyoming. Downside to the lack of red tape is the state's appetite for my green paper... $137 to register my 87 Supra... every... single... year... from... now... until... forever. You read that right. It basically works out to $100 registration fee...

Thanks Rodel, it's plastidip, color is Tahitian Green. Came out really nicely, Megan is good at this sort of thing, we make quite the team. :)

I'm throwing my hat in the "nay" column as well, unless you have an aftermarket pulley that has no rubber. Worst case the rubber separates and the pulley works its way off or your timing goes all sorts of funky...
