    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Spency makes a good point, at the very least I would be replacing the subframes. Pretty much anything underneath the car, to be honest. Couldn't hurt anyway, just turn this into a long term project. :)

    Spartan living, or, "How to budget for a Supra project"

    Figure it's a good time to bump this thread, I see a lot of new threads on here lately with some seriously disastrous direction in people's thinking concerning their Supras... Anybody have anything good to add to this, feel free to do so!

    My New daily - 1997 Eclipse GST

    Fixed. I had one of these rev on me last year, was kinda silly, I could hear his turbo spooling... in neutral. I always did like the interior though, they're comfy for a 'cab-forward' design.

    Anthracite mk3?!

    There was a brown color from the factory, I believe it also came in a 2-tone in 86.5 or 87... I forget, but it wasn't on many cars. I like the look personally, definitely stands out a bit. The anthracite paint used on Mk4's is a good color in my eyes. Thing about paint, I've learned that even...

    intercooler/hardpipe/front bumper?

    Shine auto has a nice Greddy replica bumper, I just picked one up last month from them. Quality is definitely there, and the price was good too. :)

    Custom/aftermarket shift knobs

    I'd be careful of shifting too hard or fast, wouldn't want to break that... or is it metal?

    Moving back in with the parents to save money?

    I think another thing to apply here is the saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." What I mean when I say this, is that we all live and learn (well, we always live, and hopefully we learn) how to keep our lifestyle in check. In my case, the first time I moved back in to...

    This outta be good... WHAT DEFINES A RICER?!?!?!?!?!

    Still pretty set on using "RICER" as my plate if I can get a 5 letter plate... only if I can get the car over 500-600whp though. No point if I can't embarrass people.

    strut bars

    Nope. Get yourself a cage. Our cars aren't half-assed when it comes to the body/frame structure like the domestic comparable cars. That, they do quite nicely, but just make for another thing to remove when you're working on certain things, so... However, what about the ones that also bolt to...

    Moving back in with the parents to save money?

    Good advice here man, I paid mine off and have only used it once since, to snag an ecu setup that I figured would get snagged out from under me if I didn't get it then. Paid the thing back off maybe 12 days later, didn't pay a cent of interest. Abe, there's nothing wrong with living with family...

    Help cure cancer for free, join the Supra’s Folding Team!

    I meant set it as the default screen saver... If I understand the program correctly (buddy of mine introduced me to it way back in the early 2000's), it downloads and entire packet of info, the program sorts it all out, then uploads the results? If so, that really shouldn't have much of an...

    (VIDEO) This is one WICKED car..... For a Stang!

    Eh, warranties are only good for people who don't own tools. :dunno: Intake is pretty looking, but still not worth 60k... Well said sir, well said... probably shouldn't have read that with water in my mouth, almost gave the monitor a bath. Same here, in all honesty. I've had one car with a...

    Will 1jz stock valvetrain suit BC 264's?

    I don't remember what all the shims cost, I think my friend got them at the Toyota dealer he used to work for, or had a handful of them sitting at his shop at home, not real sure. But for what it's worth, I wouldn't bother revving the stock cams past the stock redline, have you seen many dyno...

    Custom/aftermarket shift knobs

    Jrot, you and Chambers have my vote so far for coolest knob (in as straight a way as that can sound haha)... I kinda wanted to cut a few inches off my 1j's stock cams and drill and thread one end of it. But, I kinda like the Greddy one I have. Thing weighs about 2lbs. Chambers, where did you...

    This outta be good... WHAT DEFINES A RICER?!?!?!?!?!

    I always wanted to make the biggest, most obnoxious looking riced out Vatozone special I could (like a 95 Saturn 4 door) and stick a really quiet JZ or LSx v8 under the hood...
