    Best production year MkIII Supra

    The earlier cars are lighter because they don't have a lot of little things like ABS, extra bracing, and as much insulation. Oh, and the issue with the taillights is easy to fix, see my sig (no they aren't JDM, and no they aren't tinted or painted)

    Flat Tappets, old motors and ZDDP

    the rocker arm ratio plays into it a lot as well... Our stock cams aren't very agressive either, at least from the standpoint of some of the cams I've seen from a SBC.

    Best production year MkIII Supra

    89+ from a durability standpoint is better -reinforced rear subframe -7M crank -stronger block Also, from a design standpoint, you're wrong, the 89+ has the larger front grill that gets more air to the IC/condenser/radiator. The increased drag is due to this and the rear wing actually...

    Wow! Old CRTs suck ass!

    LCD's have their downfalls... If you can't run at the native rez, it looks like ass. This is especially important in gaming. Keep in mind I run an LCD now, and I'll admit it is FAR easier to read and doesn't have the same issues with eye strain...

    Throw Out bearing or....

    betcha it's the throwout bearing assembly It's pretty cheap to buy all the parts brand new from toyota, and follow the TSRM to the letter when assembling it. If it's not done to the letter, it WILL fail, it's just a question of WHEN.

    People With Marlin Crawler Bushings!

    You're wear the seat out faster. Couple notes about installing the bushings (or installing the shifter in general) -Do NOT force the socket into the tranny, if it's not straight it won't go in. It's a very tight tolerance so it has to make a straight shot. -Be careful not to rip the...
