    New car options!!!

    supra = more reliable and it's a luxury sports car... cobra = modded mustang, sure it's nice, but the build quality isn't nearly on the same level IMHO... I'd drive both, but which one is gonna handle the best? which one has the best top end? modded cobra's are pretty nasty, but the...

    Short throw shifter

    there is the shifter bushing where the actual main fulcrum point is, and the little cup that goes on the end of the shifter and goes into the hole to interface with the tranny to actually shift. The Marlin Crawler st is a VERY tight tolerance and forcing it will usually just shave off part of...

    The day has FINALLY come...

    ok, listen closely, the very very VERY first thing you NEED to do to this car is RETORQUE YOUR SUBFRAME BOLTS! They're supposed to be done something like every 50K miles, but they're NEVER done and they get VERY loose! The supra is a very solid car, but that seems to be a weak point (well...

    Short throw shifter

    yes, and get the cup too as it's probably worn as well... a word of warning though, the shifter cup ont he bottom is a VERY tight fit and will not go in crooked, don't force it, keep trying to stab it in straight... I've been telling people about the marling crawler bushings cine I owned my...

    CANT BELIEVE THIS!

    hello, it's a 92, last year and very rare, need I say more? ok, how about the fact that it's clean as hell? or maybe it was abandoned at a storage place, it's sold off without a title, you end up with a salvage title from that as well, doens't mean it's been in an accident... do a...
