Look at the numbers there bud. Total production worldwide for the Mk3 in 91/92 wasn't super high to begin with. I'd have to get out my book or dig a bit, but if memory serves, you're looking at around 3000 or so? Figure how many of them had leather? Now figure how many of them had the shadow...

Trainwreck, I'm digging the cleanliness of it all. Between the 10k tach, seats/harnesses, and the fuel cell I have to think something must be special about this car. Speaking of fuel cells, may have to go that route myself, but I'm pretty unwilling to modify the rear floor areas. Wanting to...

I think this might be helpful, although whether or not you can get your hands on some of these parts these days... http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/catalog.aspx?F=4101&P=1 There are six of them on all Supras I've been underneath, but I believe the diagram # you are after is...

Quick review on my part: I bought the yellow bushings a few years back. Finally installed them when the subframes were out of the car for a complete overhaul. After cleaning what little gunk and rust was on the subframes, and in the bushing holes, I had the subframes painted. These bushings...

I have one of the replicas as well, but never test fit it beyond a simple mockup. Hopefully it won't have too many fitment issues, as I like the look. Beals, where did you find it for sale in Japan? I'm always a little surprised to see Mk3 stuff still being made over there... would like to...

I think the car had a solid 2.0 60' with that setup, but I only had one pass before being eliminated. Helps to pay attention to what class you're best suited for haha! Like I said, I'm a road racer, my fun happens in the turns. If I could pull a 1.8 out of genuine street tires that handle good...

Well, I managed a 2.15 60' the last time I took the Mk3 down the strip. This was on 275/40/17 NT05's, with 3.73 gearing, and about 5500 or so rpm of a launch. Didn't even chirp the tires... New setup has 4.11 gearing, same tire setup, and significantly more power. So, if I can pull off a 1.8...

Ahh, that makes sense. I'm more a road racer myself, canyon / mountain roads, that sort of thing. While I can and do drag race, I will adapt to the car for my traction needs as necessary. Can't wait to get mine up and running this spring. Will be my first time behind the wheel of an actually...

That's rad, my hat is off to you man. She has obviously done your family well with that many miles on the clock. Dude, I'm still learning about these cars, and I've literally torn my 87 completely apart and put it (mostly at this point) back together in my garage. I can tell you one thing...

Good man Tyler. I have been known to take one for the team when it comes to bringing Shine parts to market for us Mk3 folks, like ERA is trying to do. On that note, I'd also be willing to pitch in $20 to ERA (just PM me dude, and we can work it out) for the purchase of the Autostyle lip. I...

I err... had to match up a bolt, and it was uhh... cold out. Yeah, let's stick with that. :p Thanks Jay! Talking about Grant (grandavi on here, I believe)? Or are you referring to someone else? Been a while since I frequented the forums... Either way, original owners of just about any car...

Weight distribution is exactly why I'm moving everything to the rear seat area. Think along the lines of how the RX7 and 300z 2-seaters were setup, with a flat floor in the hatch / rear seat area. Nothing will be exposed, and I avoid the pendulum effect that having weight behind the rear axle...

You know Kai, I can't say I recall how to make turkey that isn't dry. Probably all in how it is cooked and most folks do it in such a way that dries it out? As for my holidays, as much as I'd like to go visit my family a few states away, my fiance doesn't have the time off, and neither of us...

I dunno if Noel is even around the Supra scene anymore, which is unfortunate. The work he did getting some nice carbon hoods for the Mk3 to the market was a good sign in my book. Would be nice to have this Regulus panel replicated again, with a high level of quality. I might even buy one...

Kind of a milestone day for me guys. Ten years ago, December 7th, 2005, I dragged home my first Supra, an 88 NA hardtop auto. Was super clean overall, I only say "dragged" home, because it was -25 (as in, twenty five degrees below zero) that morning, and the radiator had exploded when the...

It also makes an appreciable improvement in sound deadening for those road trips, versus removing the seat entirely. I haven't 100% decided what I'm doing with the back seat area of mine yet. I know the bottom cushion area is going to be where the battery, fuse box, sub & amp, water methanol and...

Important thing to consider for cage design, is that none of the bars are likely to contact anybody's head in the event of contact. Alternatively, make your passengers wear helmets, it's a lot of fun! :)

Pretty sure Toyota made the back seat useless from the factory. :p In seriousness though, I had a cage and a back seat in my 89. While not exactly ideal for people with legs, you can get by in a pinch, even with a cage. I don't recommend sitting around unpadded cage bars for obvious reasons...

Good idea to bead roll them if at all possible. As for working with an elbow coupler, attach the connecting strap in a way to act like the bottom of a triangle, from the side you can access. Might have to do both sides, but I think it would work. Also, constant torque clamps work wonders for...

Ahh, that would do it. If I were more handy with a welder (heh, who am I kidding, more like handy at all haha!), I would secure my intercooler pipes like the Group A cars were set up. They had a threaded bung welded onto each end of the piping, outside of the coupler / clamp areas. Piece of...
