Could always do what some guys do and quote crank hp. :) "Yeah? Well my drivetrain has a 85% loss so my 225whp number translates to about 1500crankhp!" :) And how do you know what your drivetrain loss is? "um... Timmy told me."

Duane - you read my comment wrong. I was basically leaving the subject of reliability out of my comments ("We won't even bring in the reliability question."). If I were going to make a dig at the 7M reliability I would first have to had put a LOT more money into fixing my own 7M that has gone...

Oh yeah... I remember. Thanks for taking time to chat with me. Sorry I wasn't able to take more time but I'm sure you understand - trying to get the lot all ready for ~200 Supras and all. :) Your idea does have some good points. I've been toying with doing something similar for the Shop...

Don't forget the PacNW Supra Nationals - held this year in BC Canada (this is our fourth annual event). We had almost as many Supras in Portland last year as they get in TX. ;)

If you really do your research you will see that the Supras making 800+whp are actually not as common as you think - and the biggest of the big numbers are coming with the stroker motors now. The vast majority of the MkIII drivers just don't have the dedication to do this with the 7MGTE -...

WOW! A lot of noobs so far. :) I got mine in the spring of 96 - with just 50,500 miles and was my daily driver until Labor Day weekend 2005 when I got my new Solara Drop Top. My Supra made the drive to Vegas and back each of the past nine years (1200 miles each way) and now has 186,000+...

hmmm... See if SupraSport has them in stock.

hmmm... who am I going to believe here? someone that is an "experienced consultant in the field of automotive lighting science and technology..." or wedge? no offense wedge... I have to go with a professionall on this one.

you want the all clear? http://www.procarparts.com/store-list.asp?categoryID=4&subcategoryID=125&maker=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA&year=1989 or the Euro half and half?

Please do not simply put hid bulbs into a non-hid housing... http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversions/conversions.html

a 10" rim will not look right with the same offset. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp This calculator should answer 90% of your questions.

I went with different colors for different hoses. Sort of a color coding system. :) I love the HoseTechniques hose. It is WAY better than the Purosil hoses. I've never seen any HighTempSilicone hoses so I can't make a direct comparison there.

Actually... get the newer Toyota sprayers (keep it in the family) - 85381-AA042 - and you can likely get a nice discount on them from Champion Toyota or Elmhurst Toyota. They use cool new technology (probably the same in the MX6) - http://www.bowlesfluidics.com/products/ Wicked cool spray...

You have to get them (girls) certified for use in the US first though. Send them to me and I'll have my friend expedite them through the process.

You could just keep giving it a bit more gas than normal and it will work itself out after just a minute of driving.

I'll still stand by my statements. Please read the DavidStern link on the previous page.

Actually the correct statement is "there is hardly anyone there." That site is like a ghost town. "Now I know what it is like to drive a hearse." - DL JC 90

The best possible compromise with this type of setup is to leave the damn thing stock and not waste your time/energy/money. Why would you endanger yourself, your Supra, and others by installing an inferior product just because it "looks" cool? I have to ask again... "Would you use...

So what you are doing, essentially, is taking a lower grade headlight lens and blasting light through it in a manner that it was not designed for. Jeff's picture shows a beautiful cutoff - matching what I currently have in my 89T. A better upgrade would be the Hella H4/PIAA combination -...
