    Ticking sound when driving (not engine)

    When you do find out what it is, be sure to update us. Nobody likes searching through dead end threads without a resolution. ;)

    Anyone seen this color MK3 before?

    Japan's Supras never had a 7M-GE Jeff? I was unaware of that. Not the first time I've seen something like that though, I think there was a similar thing with the FC Rx7's, but I can't remember specifically what it was.

    Import/export of a mk3

    Question, does this only apply to cars that were registered IN the UK before that date, or cars registered anywhere before then? For example, if one were to take a 1990 Mk3 to the UK, pass tech, would they be exempted from the cat requirement?

    trouble getting into reverse

    Just means you're not used to the R154 transmission. It's a simple fix sir: before shifting into reverse, shift into any other gear, THEN slide into reverse. Shouldn't grind at all if you do it quickly enough. Doesn't have to be super-quick, but an R154 grinding into reverse without doing the...

    My Car vs Audi R8

    Seriously? What fun is that in a sports car? I can imagine a commuter a-b car, but one of my favorite things about the cars I drive is the feeling, both physically and aurally. I can't imagine a CVT in a sports car...

    New power!!!! 404HP 405ft lbs @ the wheels CT26 on 17.5lbs

    Lower temperature alone should be enough to break the 400whp barrier... Curious question, is a 10.99 possible without sacrificing too much comfort? I.e., stripping interior, sound deadening, etc... if you were to replace things like your brakes, suspension, driveshaft, flywheel, etc, with...

    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    Can't add too much to this thread, but the turbo section is not gone, it's just been relocated. Look under the "member's builds" section (it's right under "introductions" itself). Here's a link... http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?109-Turbochargers

    Guy on a buffalo

    Just watched all four episodes, and I learned precisely one thing: You don't mess with a guy on a buffalo.

    Import/export of a mk3

    Hmm, never thought of the rear foglight purpose. I figured it was like an auxiliary reverse light. :p

    So, Mazda is killing the Rotary again...

    Not sure how to update a thread title, but here's a bit of news on the subject, maybe Mazda's not ready to give up the magical dorito just yet... http://jalopnik.com/5848193/a-new-mazda-rotary-engine-another-saab-story-and-are-chryslers-really-imported-from-detroit

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    Haha, fair enough Grandavi, if she can tolerate that kind of insanity, I'd say she's a keeper. :) Might be a Supra owner if your girlfriend/wife is planning on getting her own once her current car is paid off and she has money available...

    carbon mk3 supra kit????

    I thought that was for the pair? Ouch. As for my findings, the only thing I haven't seen a CF replacement for the Mk3 is the main body chunk (rear fenders, b-pillars) itself. I was only concerned with taking weight off the nose, so from the a-pillars forward, that's all getting CF replacement...

    About to Rip the Dash off Question...

    Good idea on the head mounted flash light, and taking the wheel off, that will help a lot. I somehow managed to lose one of the bolts that hold up the wheel, I think the car ate it when I did this last time... I thought I was nuts working in the weather we have here in the winter, but I tip my...

    Ticking sound when driving (not engine)

    I was gonna say, "wouldn't it be a dick move if someone pulled the ziptie trick here...?" but you beat me to it. If not that, check the tires over as thoroughly as possible, around here, getting a rock or other debris in your tire is as common as dirt in a desert. Unless you're in upside down...

    Question on map Sensor.

    Mine is located about 6" to the left of where Bio's is, right about where my missing firewall ID plate would go... Basically right behind the manifold.

    1988 Supra VS C5 pro charged corvette

    Haha, that's one way of putting it... As for the wiring issue, I believe it was probably IJ who said the question you have to ask yourself is "what have I fucked up, and how is it related to the symptoms I'm seeing". If it started with the fuse box relocation, I think you know where to start...

    Import/export of a mk3

    I've always wondered this myself... living in Wyoming, you can register damn near anything, but wonder if there are any headaches registering a Canadian car here. Hmm. California, that might be a different story.
