    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Hey.. the wheels I'm looking at are 18x8+35 and 18x9+30 I was thinking 235/40 and 265/35 for tires. I probably won't drop it much whenever I get to it. Sound like a good fit?

    6.5" speakers in your pre-91 doors

    is the back of the speaker sealed somehow? That'll really make a difference in bass because otherwise the backwave will find it's way out and cancel out the front wave most of the way. In my tacoma I made custom speaker mounts for the stock location and used some heavy plastic to seal off the...

    BorHor's Makeover - Project Sideways

    just out of curiousity, has anyone mentioned that your tires are too skinny for those wheels? oh, and that your camber is out of adjustment? I was just wondering.

    Electric Fans 1 or 2

    Electric Fans 1 or 2

    *inefficient :icon_razz anyways... E-fans are nice because they can cool better at idle (the fan is not limited to engine rpm) and when the car's cold or cruising on the highway they can be turned off. They're also added stress to the electrical system. Overall, a mechanical fan is much...

    Skeptical Supra guy

    Yep, I got an '87 NA blown motor rust bucket for $200. It looked to be in about the same condition on the outside and when I started stripping paint I was disappointed to say the least. I can attest to this. My suggestion would be to look further south and pay the extra money for a clean...

    I sold my rims.. :(

    16x7 konig wildcards, they came on my original supra. the wheels alone made it worth it. I'm sad to get rid of them, but I knew I'd be putting on a bigger wheel and my friend with a 6th gen celica (who was actually the previous owner of the supra) was in need of a nice set of wheels. They fit...

    more torque

    There's dean marcum, the guy on v8supra.com, a couple here working on it, (myself included, though it's a stretch to say as I barely ever get to touch it,) and on lextreme.com there's people putting them in lots of things, mkIII's included. It's a popular enough motor that there are parts...

    Teen pimp lures girls into illegal sex

    BOTTLE KIDS! DUCK!!! -trailer park boys but seriously, the kid prostitution is tragic. Whats more tragic is that even people with some morals aren't willing to stop stuff like this from happening if they have to go out of their way... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

    Too much torque?

    When people talk about a motor being torquey, they generally mean it makes a lot of torque at low rpm. That has everything to do with displacement, head and intake design, and very little to do with how far each piston moves up and down.

    cressida front end on a supra...

    Cressida front end? MEH. I think the soapra is bad ass. I'm used to looking at supras so it's hard not to see it as just a strange supra, but if you look at it as it's own car I think it's very good looking. LMK when you do that. photoshop? I hope. It's hard to tell with the horrible pic...

    Torque Plate?

    I don't understand the point of making a torque plate out of titanium. radioactive or not... ;) The whole point of a torque plate is to reproduce the stresses on the block that bolting down a head would cause. The head itself is not some infinitely rigid block, so how are you doing a better...
