    Scratch Remover

    That thing will only work if the scratch is still above the base coat. Most times, the scratch appears white because it has gone through to primer. I'd be skeptical about that Billy Mays BS... What is your paint code? Guarantee you can find it online and it will match very well. ;)

    my 89 supra N/A to turbo/swap story

    I am very confused. I think some punctuation may clear my thoughts on this... ;) Use a period and hit return a few times per post.

    Which LEDs to use??

    Hmm... Do you mean you will be able to see the LED's directly? aka, no diffusion material? If so, even the dimmest LED's will blind you at night... Not sure I understand...

    possible cracked head

    Almost any code relating to the engine could restrict power... Sounds like your engine doesn't know exactly where it is. That would be a problem. Check your dizzy connection.

    To jack up the supra... (Need Help )

    My car is stock height and I have a rather low jack, but I can't fit it underneath the front of the car. I end up hitting the lip. I normally use the tow hooks, one side at a time, to get jacks in place. Any possible adverse effects of that? I figure if they're strong enough to pull the car...

    Welcome. Maintenance first. :)

    Question about the ecu

    If you stick with 10psi and a less than huge turbo, I dont see why a MAFTPro would not fill your needs. A standalone would be ideal, but it might not be necessary given your current set-up and technical know-how. Since I'm far from an expert, I have a Q for the others that know more...

    Which LEDs to use??

    For the 3mm Climate Control LED's I used ~4500 mcd and they are too bright. I'm not sure if you can use any inverted LED cones for those as I have only seen the standard 3mm ones. :dunno: For the dash cluster I'd go as low as possible if the LED is going to be directly behind a reasonably...

    need some advice on stolen property

    That right there is illegal and can be prosecuted. It also shows the boss hiding evidence if he destroyed contact means for one of the stolen item's owner. Sounds like the owner staged a theft...

    Grandma's Supra is All Mine...Pics

    Keep it clean, keep it stock and wash it daily. :) Excellent example of a cherry (pun intended) mkIII.

    Intro. Pics, another supra saved.

    Nice find. I actually kinda like the two tone paint from the side. A little less engine "dress" rice BS and that car could look very, very clean. :)

    The supra's totaled! :(

    That actually doesn't look that bad. New rear-most hatch panel New moldings New tails (all 3 pieces) New rear bumper + supports If you keep the new stuff unpainted, you might stand to make quite a profit if you can find used tails and moldings. I wouldn't ditch that shell, though. Unless, of...

    Age discrimination

    You shouldn't drive an uninsured vehicle anywhere, anytime because it is illegal. If you misspoke and you mean that you simply have liability only insurance, then that's fine. Zach was dead on, btw. "No job is below you if you don't have a job..."

    Breastfeeding

    Possibly the most important fact that's been posted on SM this year. Mmmm... boobs. :) IMO, every mom should try breastfeeding and if it doesn't work then it doesn't work and do the next best thing...

    clean mk3 on RI craigslist

    Seems a little odd... To cheap, if you ask me. Plus, it has 91-92 color coded moldings, 89+ tails, spoiler, what appear to be 18" wheels... I don't know. I say something is up. I bet it has a BHG, bad tranny, or rod knock. :icon_razz: If it doesn't have any of the aforementioned problems...

    The supra's totaled! :(

    Let the insurance company total it, then buy the car back from the insurance company. Take all the good parts off of it and insert into a shell of your choosing. My .02 Sorry to hear! :(

    Shifter Bushings question

    What do you need grease for? I didn't use any and I've had mine installed for a year now. (Marlin Crawler) and all is well. It is a night and day difference.

    What is this connector????!?!?!?

    Precisely. It is NOT a standard looking clip by any means. It is rather flat and if you dont know what to look for, you might never think a clip attaches to it.

    calling out all ge-t builders!!! NOT gte swappers!!!

    If you are rebuilding the GE block, you should swap pistons if you plan on using a big turbo. On the other hand, a well tuned, Ct-26'd(or similar smaller turbo) GE would be soooo much fun. :) You don't need a huge turbo to make good responsive power with a 9.1:1 comp ratio. If you want huge...
