    New owner of 92 Supra

    Welcome to the asylum. ;) Of course we're going to want to see a few pics of the car, as well as some details... Just know this about these cars: -They can be finicky -They're all over 20 years old at this point, and a lot of rubber may need replacing -Previous owners (especially if you're the...

    10mm or .40

    OP has a similar build that I do Mike, a .45 tends to look comical on us skinny guys. :p

    Double Barrelled Handgun

    So what you're saying is... weld them together once you buy it? :p That would probably still violate some part of the NFA though, huh?

    That's true, but the v160 is the most expensive part of that combo. Speaking of the 2UR, did anyone else see the video of Orido drifting his 2UR equipped GT86? Goofy looking, but that guy can slide...

    1jz r154 wont shift down

    Could be a syncro issue... As for the other bit, I meant the whole drivetrain, the engine being part of the beauty. Just everything bolted to said engine (other than the trans) was crap. :p

    Grenaded engine, almost killed me.

    Considering that bullet probably bounced off more people than there are members here old enough to have been alive to remember it, then I'd say you're probably ok. :p Holy crap man... I don't suppose anyone makes a scatter shield that fits our cars? I know it's a pretty tight area in there, but...

    poly subframe bushings kit

    Graphite lubed bushings sound like they'd be nice... but we're talking about suspension bushings at this point aren't we?

    Vibrant Exhaust Systems..something quieter?

    HKS Sport (looks damn near stock), sounds great when you get on it, nice and quiet when you don't. I'd say it's about the most balanced exhaust you can get overall. http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-let-t16.php That said, the Tanabe is another good option I've heard. Nice and tolerable...

    Drift Style Graphics, - Wrapped Mk3

    Do anything you want to the car, cosmetically, and it's still not going to look as good as some of the cars like Rodel's or Duane's, etc... It is your car, but if you're doing it strictly for looks, you're likely going to have to do it yourself, I don't believe there are any ready to stick on...

    Kool Story Bro<<<<<<< Very Kool...

    Oh come on Moy, give the guy some slack haha... not like he's saying he ripped a C6 a new one here. :) That said, all that equipment and you're not even bothering with a full production crew? Amateur... :p :rofl:

    ALT fuze

    ALWAYS unhook your battery when doing electrical work of ANY kind. Not a terrible idea if you're even working near the battery to be on the safe side. ;)

    Gurley's 92 Teal 2JZ Project

    Rick (should I call you that? :p ), I was just throwing an idea out there, but your idea/link would probably work better in the long run. In my case, it was just an experiment that went better than expected, that Stinger stuff holds up to a LOT of heat considering its intended purpose. :) What...

    Credit Cards - What is the best? Looking to get some rewards without a headache..

    Something that I've done since I bought the house that I also find a good suggestion for anybody with a Supra or ANY other bills really: Keep $1000 in your bank account at all times. I don't think I've dropped below that threshold in the last year or so, nor have I needed to. However, it's...

    1jz r154 wont shift down

    Ahh, I've never driven one of those. Only ever the T56 in the SS Crapmaro I had. Beautiful drivetrain, crappy package.

    2ur-fse

    Oh, I didn't mean to pick on Dylan, he should know that, no hard feelings. :) I mean, if you wanna get technical about it, some GM V8's get VERY expensive, so it's probably about even when you start comparing tech prices.

    1GZ-FE - My new project motor!

    NYC wasn't so bad, but I wouldn't want to drive there, especially towing anything. Sorry to hear about the misdirection man, looking forward to pictures. :)

    Grenaded engine, almost killed me.

    I'm starting to learn... I'm not eating while reading SM. Nice video Grim, ain't that the truth?

    Ultra High Performance Summer or All Season? Kumho Ecsta SPT and ASX vs others

    I've got no real complaints with the DWS other than the soft sidewall. Might just be that I have them on too skinny a wheel for the tire width too. Good as a snow tire? Couldn't possibly be. Good enough for the occasional snow/ice we get here? For me, yes. If I lived where snow is a CERTAINTY...

    http://flyinmiata.com/V8/costs.php See that first item there? That's a brand new crate LS3... add a $300 cam to that and you have a 480hp engine that weighs 415lbs. Now what could you do with that extra 15k? ;)

    Gurley's 92 Teal 2JZ Project

    Dustin, I put some remaining Stinger Roadkill (Dynamat type product) on the head shield for my stock twins when I put that back on. I had initially cut the shield in half, since getting that thing in/out is a ROYAL pain in the ass. Basically used the Stinger as a "tape" of sorts. Expected it to...
