    Radiator options?! koyo or mishimoto?

    If you can find one. IIRC they've been discontinued. If someone knows of a source, they're very well made, BUT... fitment is an issue with the JZ. You'll need to come up with a good fan setup that fits. However, as Nick points out, and I'll elaborate on... This is true. More important than the...

    Drift suspension intel

    Just the usual, a track, helmet, and practice. Oh, and money. :) Seriously though, we have a few members on here who like to drift their cars, they pop in from time to time, and could probably help you out a little. Learning how to transfer the weight around on these cars helps a lot too.

    Ride Tech air ride?

    I don't know of any air suspensions for the Mk3 specifically, but I'm sure Ride Tech would know. Have you tried calling them? If they don't make one, they might know of a company that does. Failing that, you could always fabricate your own. Or, if that isn't an option, the stock suspension on...

    Stupid Question time - Driving from Canada to US

    There is a stretch of I-15 in Utah that is the same way too. Maybe by the time I'm an old man, speed limits will be more reasonable. Much like Germany has stretches of their highways without restrictions, America could easily do the same. You ever drive through parts of Utah/Nevada? Cruising at...

    Panic time... 3" unrestricted Turbo Elbow.. yikes

    For what it is worth, any decent exhaust shop should be able to weld an extra bung on wherever you like it. :)

    Let me see your trunks!

    I used my car to move most of my stuff to the house I bought. Took out the passenger seat, and surprisingly, even with the cage in the car, there was plenty of room to bring all but the biggest stuff (furniture/TV) in my Supra. They're surprisingly roomy... I see what you did with all that, I...

    Whats the stupidest thing you have done to your supra?

    Like I said, "better" is subjective. The only "nicer" car I've ever been in than a well maintained Supra is the LS400 I picked up. You want nicer than an 80's Toyota GT flagship in a modern car, you're going to spend a lot more than what you're spending on the Supra... at least to have nice AND...

    A fast spool turbo for a 1JZ

    Wanna spread some of that wealth my way? :p

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Good advice here. Without a plan in mind with any car that has "project" potential, you're pissing into the wind. Don't piss into the wind. ;)

    has anyone replaced their wiper arms with something more modern?

    Sit in a Mk2 Supra when you're only 5'-8" and mostly legs, and you'll understand what I mean. The Mk3 it isn't so bad, but the Mk2, it's pretty ridiculous. Then there's the giant steering wheel in it (the Mk2), that gets in the way of your legs working the pedals, but if you scoot it up for...

    Let me see your trunks!

    3p, I did something similar by removing the spare tire mount, pounding the floor a bit more flat, and flipping the spare upside down so I could store the emergency kit inside the wheel. A bit primitive, but the tire fit so snug that I didn't need to bolt it down. However, with a sub setup in...

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    That's a panel that is pretty much trashed anyway. You can't really see it in the picture, but the metal is so thin that welding on it is out of the question, so we're going to try finding a replacement anyway. I'll have to try and see if I can find anyone around here able to blast a whole car...

    Whats the stupidest thing you have done to your supra?

    Better is often subjective sir, long as you love your car, that's what matters. :)

    WTK : 2JZ-GE VVTi IGNITER

    Sounds more like a TPS or IACV issue to me. First off, make sure your TPS is set correctly (TSRM should be able to help you there). Once that is confirmed to be set properly, try starting the car. If you still have the same problem (car only stays alive with foot on the throttle, you might need...

    A fast spool turbo for a 1JZ

    Personally, I think a V-band turbo would be awesome for two reasons: -No gasket, less chance of exhaust leaks at the manifold-turbo point. -Rotate turbo for optimum clearance/piping route? Awesome... However, the one I have has a standard T4, so I'll just run with it. Hopefully never have to...

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    I believe you posted a unique thread along these lines didn't you? Far as I know, the only differences between the GA70 and MA70 are the engine, front fenders, and the gauge clusters are a bit different. Crash bar should be the same on ALL A70 cars. I've never removed the crash bar, so I don't...

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Allow me to expand on the Miata thing. In 10 months of owning them (two different cars), I had to replace a transmission due to a fluke. I stuck the shifter between 4th and 5th, and it stayed in 5th, despite trying to use a cheater pipe on the shifter, it wouldn't budge. Should have replaced the...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Doat, you'd be better off searching through the oils/lubrications sub forum, as well as the chassis/suspension section. I can't say I've ever heard of that causing an issue, but I'm far from a chemist. I know of a certain member who would more than likely know an answer to your question, but you...

    has anyone replaced their wiper arms with something more modern?

    You're a scholar and a gentleman sir, thanks! I know what to ask for for my birthday now... Nothing like spreading road grime and general crap all over your window with the wipers, huh? I tend to coat the windows with Rain-X at least once a year, seems to keep visibility as nice as can be...
