A bit late to the party, did you get anything like this yet? Couple years back I bought a Bendpak 7k lbs four post lift. Without it, I would not have been able to do my Supra the way I did. I did look into the quick jack initially. One of these quick jacks would have been sufficient for 95% of...

Well, in my neck of the woods, I'm still one of the only people with a Mk3. There is one other that I'm aware of that might someday see the outside world again, but who knows for how long. There was a super mint Mk2 in town, haven't seen it in some time now. There is also a Mk4 in town as well...

I'm still around, although considerably less active (online in general) than I was when I had a desk job and a long lunch break that was usually spent on here. Since then, I've sold the first house, had the second one built, built the Supra that I'd been collecting parts for (it's still a work...

You know what the best thing about facebook is though? All those build threads. Oh, and let's not forget the technical information that can be readily found, that's even better! Sarcasm aside, it's not a trophy to hang on the wall guys. If I made 1200hp revving mine to 15k and spinning tires to...

Thanks Tgood, that wagon is pretty rad. I have all SORTS of pics of my setup. Will be posting a build thread sometime this winter, just gotta finish a half dozen posts or so. Nothing too terribly exciting, just a whole lot of "here's how I did this," and "what not to do" haha. :)

Other than a fancy intake manifold, I don't see what else I could do to increase top end without sacrificing too much low end. Currently my band runs from about 3k to 7k, I wouldn't mind if it were shifted from 5k to 9k. Thing is, I wouldn't want to lose the effective range of the engine, as a...

No doubt it could set some records, but budget isn't there for a couple years unfortunately. Personally I would have no problem running it to 10k. It has solid mounts, so I would know pretty quickly if something wasn't feeling right. If it was perfectly balanced to over 9k though... I could see...

Dry sump on a Mk3 is a bit of a packaging nightmare unless you want the oil tank in the cabin somewhere. To do that safely though, you need a means of isolating the tank via bulkhead, just in case something horrible happens, you don't wanna be covered in hot oil on top of whatever already...

Second time I've ever had my car on a dyno, this time things were a bit different though: 1jz -fully built engine (BC264 cams, ported/polished, +1mm Naprec valves, shimless bucket conversion, Carillo rods, Wiseco 10:1 2j pistons (puts a 1j at 9.0 from what I understand), Twins Turbo dry sump...

Fairly certain that my entire transmission is stock, so thanks for the advice against 2nd gear launches. I can double clutch and it seems to cooperate, but I'm not much a fan of the clutch I have. I have the same issue as Steve, 1-2 shifts are not easy by any means. Tire wise, I won't be able...

All I want is to run an 11.xx in Vegas this year at SIV. Think I can do it with ~500whp (a guess, at best, at what the tune may turn out), 4.11 OS Giken diff, and a 2nd gear launch? I would normally use 1st, but pretty sure my Spec twin disc fried my synchro for 2nd. Either way, I'll be giving...

You PacNW folks better make it down to Vegas this year. Even though we get to read this fantastic series of tales, it can't compare to hanging out in person... Also, glad I'm not the only one noticing the sheer volume of Subarus. I think they're breeding.

Long time since I've poked my head in here. Looking good Jeff. Did you ever sort out that vibration over the winter?

Hey guys, in case anyone else was interested, like Van and myself, Paulo emailed me a couple days ago to let me know they're putting together a group buy on side trim.

Have patience Miguel, the staff around here are some pretty busy folks. I'll see if I can't rustle up Steve or Jay though. :)

Heh, don't I know it bud... I've always been of the mindset that a Supra is really never "finished" but rather as far as it will go with a particular owner. Not many folks have the patience to see their vision of their ideal Supra through to the end. Even with my build, I'm starting to...

Correct me if I'm seeing something wrong here, but 817 ft-lbs??? One of the other runs was something like 675? ...I might need my eyes checked. If not, congrats though!

Seems about right, from what I remember when I was on here a lot more frequently. Personally if I ever grow tired of the stock seats (mine are cloth, and I could use all the support and grip I can get, so they'll stay that way), I'll end up putting in a set of Brides. But the black door panels...

Look at the numbers there bud. Total production worldwide for the Mk3 in 91/92 wasn't super high to begin with. I'd have to get out my book or dig a bit, but if memory serves, you're looking at around 3000 or so? Figure how many of them had leather? Now figure how many of them had the shadow...

Trainwreck, I'm digging the cleanliness of it all. Between the 10k tach, seats/harnesses, and the fuel cell I have to think something must be special about this car. Speaking of fuel cells, may have to go that route myself, but I'm pretty unwilling to modify the rear floor areas. Wanting to...
