    My Clean 87 Got Hit Today

    Like I said, the side trim is getting removed on the entire car and is going flush. In Oregon, you're at fault no matter what. Besides, my deductable is $500 and I'm repainting the entire car. Very shortly, the body is going to start to be sanded down and prepped for paint. Also, there is...

    My Clean 87 Got Hit Today

    I'm keeping the insurance companies out of this. I pay too much as it is. Yes, he is paying me $300 and I'm calling it even considering I'm about to prep my car for paint and get rid of the side trim. As soon as I get the new fender and door and put them on, I'm starting the body work. Flat...

    My Clean 87 Got Hit Today

    Bad news, some douche bag pulled out and T-boned my car today. I was leaving my wheel guys shop and the dumbass in a Dodge Intrepid pulled out without looking because "I don't have a stop sign" and "there usually isn't any traffic on this street." I'm taking care of this without the insurance...

    Damn. Oh well, the color doesn't matter since I am getting rid of the side trim once I get my new fender and door. And once I start that, paint prep is going to start. Adam

    Project Clean 87

    Bad news, my car has to be ugly sooner than I wanted it to be. Guess this gives me an excuse to start my body work early. When I saw the guy pull out, I slammed on my brakes. Unfortunately, it's wet, and my tires apparrently suck balls. I locked up all 4 tires (no ABS) and just slid and...

    He shoulda bought a Supra

    For what he's going to pay to repair that Ferrari I could buy the parts needed to put down 700+ HP easily. Stupid rich people that buy expensive exotic sports cars and don't know how to drive. Better hand the keys over to me so I can take car of that poor Ferrari propperly. :D Adam

    Got the Earl's braided stainless steel brake lines installed today. Luckily I decided to do it under the car tent I have because an hour into the job it started to pour (and hasn't stopped yet). 6 hours later, freezing cold, wet (water still soaked the ground and created puddles which my shoes...

    Thinking of buying supra and need advice!

    Buy it, then sell the motor and tranny (once you get the motor put back together and working right), then do a motor swap. Your budget determines what motor you should go with. The 2JZ is a great platform to work with. has a vey stong bottom end (good for 800 HP on stock internals), and has a...

    Thinking of buying supra and need advice!

    Welcome. You can always do a motor swap and convert the car to a 5-speed. Tranny conversions are cheap, depending on the clutch you use. As for parts, you can get almost any part you want for that car. I get almost all my parts online from several sources. Just look at the build threads...

    Sure, now you tell me you would have given me a deal on the brake lines. BTW, that cool guy saved me a ton of time and anger and $80 by not replacing the PS pump. He also is responsible for getting my PS resevoir the abiliity to get painted (although I need to touch it up and can't because...
