    mk3's and rain

    My 89 was my daily driver for about 10 years. Being also in the NW (Portland OR) we got our fair share of rain. I had one problem in the rain and that was due to worn out tires. I ran the Firestone Firehawk SZ50s for years and LOVED those things in the rain. I agree though... SLOW...

    Halloween Party / costume pics

    Sorry for the bad picture - was taken at work for our costume contest. Went as the original Blues Brothers - unfortunately Jake is dead. "I dug up my brother so we could put the band back together." Then I came home and scared the poor neighbor kids all night... more -...

    What is the hottest steering wheel for a MKIII?

    89 all the way... It even has the MkIII Supra logo on it - instead of the bull-head "T" logo.

    TEMS, is it worth it?

    Someone mentioned the drop on the eibach springs... I never had a problem with the drop until I added a Bomex 3-hole lip and the MkIV rims. The rims added a slight drop as the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo was less than stock - just a smidge. The look was AWESOME though. I...

    TEMS, is it worth it?

    For me... TEMS is TOTALLY worth it! Please note that I replaced my old (worn the F out) shocks with Illumina IIs and a set of new Eibach Pro springs. I love driving around town in soft mode. But when I hit the open highway and I'm on the way to Vegas you can't beat flipping the "Firm"...

    Uh... Stereo... Wow....

    I saw this at SILV08. Actually... I could only hear this monster as I couldn't even get close enough to see the car. I do know that a friend here in Portland (now in Mexico) tipped the scales in his 90 at just over 4000lbs with his stereo. 2 12"s, several amps, caps, wiring, etc. This...

    did you get your supra for a steal??

    Picked up my white 1989 Supra Turbo 5 speed w/ sport roof and white package with 50,500 miles for $12,000 (yes... that is $12K). Daily drove this car while making mild upgrades over the next 10 years when it was retired from DD status. Now at nearly 13 years of ownership that works out to...

    Big Congrats!!

    Emails have been sent to both Shawn and Tyler. Congrats again guys. Sorry for the delay. Our official results got SOAKED in the rain at the track and I had to get replacements. I'll update the SILV08 website soon too. Thanks again to everyone that came out to (and supported in other ways)...

    SILV08 MkIII Drags - a little help needed

    OK... I've been sorting through things here and may have something... The top 7M-GTE powered MkIII ET was 10.074. That pass was made by none other than Shawn C. I took participants in the following classes: MkI - MkIII Modified, MkIII Smackdown, and Street Turbo to see who had what...

    Supra Key Chain... interest?

    I've got a few projects that were in line before this one. I don't want to overload my schedule and slow everything down. I hope to be back to focusing on this come the 3rd of November - if I don't go to SEMA.

    SILV08 MkIII Drags - a little help needed

    I'm fine with anything actually for the overall smackdown. This year was a big experiment that I put together after I built the HRS. If you guys want to play with MkIIIs like Vijay etc I'm fine with that. It is just that I got some pretty nervous phone calls when it looked like he was going...
