I've heard of drum brakes exploding when taken apart, is this a risk with refreshing our E-brakes? Something I read in an old Rock Auto newsletter 'blunders' section.

Same here, at least with my Mk2. Sucks living where the roads are paved with dirt. :rolleyes: Can't keep a car clean, even with more than regular washing.

That's sad to hear. Even if you drive a LOT for work, the car payment on a Yaris (not to mention extra insurance) would go a long way toward the extra gas a Mk3 would use. Oh well, one person's desire to trade old for new (not 'up') is another person's treasure. :)

Good Lord man... breaking into the 7's with "only" 1100whp? That is quite impressive. How is that MPH versus the ET? Seems kinda low (mph wise) for the ET, at least what I've seen of Supras. Either you can drive the car properly (obviously) or most other runs I've seen can't cut a 60' too well...

From my "how to live with a Supra" post, "don't modify your daily, that's what your toy/project is for." ;)

Kinda reminds me of some of the Kei cars I've seen over the years. Toyota Sera (was it a Kei?), Honda Beat, Mazda AZ1, etc... may not exactly be my cup of tea, but I think they'd be a lot of fun, especially in a bigger city. :) As for your 92, I'm sure that thing is more of a conversation...

Huh... looking up random freeways 4000 miles away. Bored much? :p Nice find though. :)

That all the more you have to say for your self? :p Seriously though, ouch on a new level. That puts you on the level of... well, people without all 10 whole fingers. They say chicks dig scars, what does the old lady think? Anyway, something similar happened to my dad in the early 90s, he...

Yeah... I still can't quite sit down without wincing a bit. :nono:

Are these wheels from a Mk4? Might be helpful to know the offset of the wheels too, unless they're OEM Camry wheels, they may cause issues with fitment.

I've seen ads claiming that there are pills that will give me a horse-sized penis, but you can't believe everything you read online. Try contacting RHDjapan.com, they sell/export cars last I checked. They weren't what I would call overpriced, but they weren't anywhere near that cheap either. ;)

That's really not that bad actually. Is yours a BB, or is that with the journal bearing?

Looks like an awfully big turbo to be putting power to snow tires... I like it. Sounds nice man. :)

Have you checked the gap on your plugs before putting them in? You'd be surprised how far the range of pre-gapped plugs can be...

You know, I think the ZR1 would be a nice target for a potential Mk5 Supra, both in price and quality. If they cleared the 130k mark with it though, I doubt many people would jump on it, even among the Supra faithful. It's just a different world out there, you know? Not to mention, every...

This. Put it this way, a fairly clean shell (shell, not running car) can be had for anywhere from 500-1000 depending on where you live. I picked up my first car for $1000 that needed a new cooling system and head gasket, but was otherwise 98% mint and stock. It ran though, and fairly well at...

Whatever color my friend's 09 XRS is, is probably the color I'll end up going with for mine. Thing looks beautiful even when it's filthy, which is about your only option here unless you wash it every other day.

Fixed that for you. Best way to make a 7m faster? Stuff it in a Mk2. ;)

One would hope so. ;) I keed... sounds like a fun car, 184hp in a car that weighs, what... 2500lbs or so? As for the ragtop Miata thing, there was always the hardtop for security's sake. Not to mention they looked better like that, I would have loved to have had one for mine.

I'll accept that fruit thin, and call for a show of hands at the end of next year. :)
