The time has come for me to get my exhaust manifold and turbo heat shields ceramic coated! I was originally thinking Jet Hot because of the recommendation on the Cygnus X-1 site. But mixed reviews left me on the fence about using them. I then learned of the amazing work of jdub. I read...

I think that is the purpose, I have placed route instructions in there from time to time. But honestly, I mostly use it to hold my keys when I am at work :P The suit is the BMW Rallye 3. It is more geared toward off road, but I just fell in love with that jacket and had to have it!

Haha, it is funny the S2000 came up. When my S2000 was "mostly stolen" I purchased my MKIII as a replacement. Does this mean I am anti-midlife crisising? But back on topic, I just tell MKIII haters this: "I'm running a 3JZ-GZE, and yes, it was overnighted from Japan."

Good point about the video, but I was thinking more the user testimonials. There were always used cars, and I think the official Japanese promo showed a car with about 50K km. Cause in Japan, after 50K km cars are ready for the scrapyard :P (I had to let my SW20 MR2 go for about $1000 when I...

Sounds good, after reading this thread I don't want to go back there at all. Just replacing the hoses there is painful enough... Is there a good way to confirm whether this union is leaking or not outside of visual inspection? I have a small leak somewhere in the cooling system that I want to...

That was kind of my original suspicion, that the retorquing of the sub frame bolts as a part of Rigid Collar installation was causing the "amazing" feel. And of course the placebo effect, something was done so something should be different!

Thanks for all the comments and insight! Happily I have my own inexpensive solution for rigidity: 1. Drive without targa. 2. Lament chassis flex. 3. Re-install targa. 4. Rejoice!

Oh, good to know. Glad I hung on to that tube of Shin-Etsu :)

I just got these parts in the mail today and found this thread searching for the size of that monster union bolt. Just wondering a couple things: Am I crazy to even consider trying to replace this union pipe and union bolt with the engine in the car? Is there anything that can be done...

So back in 2010ish Spoon sports "invented" these little things called "Rigid Collars". They are designed to increase rigidity of the chassis by ensuring perfect alignment between it and the subframes. There is a video that explains what the Rigid Collars do here...

Finally found the Google street view pic of the MR2: Glad I got this, the newer image shows only that bush growing out of control!

The original owner of my car used vasoline and I feel like it made the targa seals a little worse for the wear. I don't have leaks, but some spots where it was caked on look like small divots have come out of the rubber. It also doesn't feel as nice in those spots even though I have cleaned them...

Aww that is too bad, I saw $450 earlier in the thread and was hoping things were on sale somewhere. Oh, it's gonna be an expensive day when the exhaust purchase comes... (BIC Recirculated DDP, Random Technologies Hi Flow Cat, and HKS Turbo Exhaust.)

So what is the going rate on the HKS Turbo Exhaust (LET-T16) these days? I want one! (The Internet tells me $600+, but I suspect I shouldn't trust the Internet...)

Good luck and welcome!

In order to save on gas and let the Supra rest I picked up a used BMW F800S last year. Been riding almost everyday since. 50 MPG and serious acceleration cannot be beat. It also seems like having a luxury car. Heated grips, ABS, more idiot lights than most cars, trip computer, tire...

I lived in various spots around Grove City, what I would call the classic central residential area between Broadway and Hoover Road and within a few blocks of Columbus Street. Most of my family is still there, and as soon as I win the lottery I am heading back! Out in Washington I have to...

So this is probably the coolest pic I could ever attach. Very happy the original owner kept it: If only a car as cool as the Supra was available for that price today!

Thanks for the welcome messages! I am quite jealous of you Supra28, I so wish I still lived back east... If you are ever driving through Grove City and see a supercharged MR2 in Orange Pearl Mica sadly decaying in a driveway don't think ill of me :P My car has 196K or so miles. I think it...
