    GTII vs super dragger?

    RSR is loud. I've been playing w/ different mufflers and tube bend configurations, and mandrel bent with a good quality muffler like the HKS etc, will get you a nice sound without being to loud. Believe it or not a flowmaster with a resonater is a pretty good combo that's very free...

    300hp at the wheels on a budget.

    Start by doing a quality rebuild on the motor w/ metal head gasket and go from there. That way you'll have a solid platform to build on.

    My supra weigh 3,940Lbs

    I gotta laugh when people start trying to lighten them up...talk about an exercise in frustration. I decided quite awhile ago that I was better off making more hp to compensate for my sup's portly stature.

    Biggest Tire in the Rear

    I think you'd be hard pressed to find a 15 that would clear the caliper.

    ss hose ok to touch exh. manifold????????

    I'd get it off the manifold. Make a little stay or something. You never want anything touching the exhaust manifold.

    H&R + tokico illumina combo?

    Koni sport yellow (adjustable) w/ eibach springs. The koni shocks have a lower spring seat and when paired with eibachs, sit nice. Also allows you to get the back lower. Imho the eibachs are too high in the rear, and the lower spring seat allows you to compensate and get the ass end down without...

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    Agreed. But, I think most people would rather keep the sidewall height of the tires uniform, and so wheel staggering (rather than tire) would be a more attractive option. IMHO.:icon_bigg

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    I'm not sure if that will apply to a mkiii, but if that line of thinking is correct, than it would be more effective to go to a 17" front and 18" rear wheel or 18"/19". Bigger diameter means more contact surface (assuming the widths are the same). Frankly, there's so many variables, that...

    Lift Gate Support Rod/Shocks Rebuild

    The rear struts are the ones I keep having to replace. It seems the weight of the hatch + glass + wing just wears them out. Next thing you know, I'm leaning in the cargo area and the hatch decides to try to decapatate me. News struts...and a year later same thing.

    Temp issues......... NO BHG!!!!!!!!!

    You are here^^^. If that checks out ok, then there's only a few things it can be: thermostat, radiator cap, air in system, unseen leak, water pump... I'm assuming you fixed the fan.:icon_razz

    broken car lets guess what it is.

    I think you should have looked under the hood every once an a while. Serously, If you don't take care of all the little things, and blow off regular service, you are asking for what just happened. Instead of just fixing what sounds like a bhg, you be wise to look at what caused the...
