This. I drive a 320rwhp car daily, and it feels slow as shit to me, until I drive the girlfriend's Mazda3... you get used to it Jordan. Ever heard of the horsepower bug? Sounds like it's bitten you. ;)

I've had an 88 NA and an 84 NA, both made excellent daily drivers. The ONLY thing that the NA's gave up in terms of what I like in a daily driver is the ability to hit freeway speed limits on short on ramps. There are a few here that you don't have much of a ramp to get up to speed, and that...

On the OP's original list, I'd recommend replacing the bushings. Basically anything rubber, at this point, is likely to be 20+ years old and worn out. Basically, replace now (while the car is apart) what you wouldn't want to replace on the side of the road in the dark. That's usually my rule of...

Looks much better Damien... unless you got your posts backwards, in which case put the OEM back in! :p

You'd have to fabricate that and the hats if I'm not mistaken. Easier (and more of a sure thing) to just buy them. You get good brakes, a vendor on here is able to get a good product out. Everybody wins. :)

There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to a cooling system on a Supra... See below. To elaborate a bit, although you won't find them on every car (stupid previous owners...), Toyota put a couple small electric fans in front of the radiator to aid with cooling at low speeds, it would...

Good job man, your MPH/ET are much more in line with where they should be. Think there's any more grip for the launch now that your clutch is holding? Could probably squeeze a 12.99 out of her if so...

I was unaware of such a thing. You might have better luck finding a ring and pinion set that would help close up the gear ratios for you... is there a difference in effect between swapping gears versus swapping the ring & pinion?

Bit of a miss with the spelling of his own user name? Or was that intentional?

Well, if you can't be patient, I'd say buy something that you can enjoy now, before you spend years (and thousands) on a car that you lose interest in. See the link there about "living with a Supra" in my signature? You should take a read through that... you'll understand after reading it what I...

I like your sense of humor sir... This might be the slowest car with a build thread on SM haha! I kinda wish you could even buy cars that simple here anymore, to be honest...

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of the NC Miatas. They just don't look quite right to me, although they still retain a lot of the fun factor. If I were buying a NEW car right now, it'd be the FRS, hands down. However, then we're back to the "new car but can't afford to tinker" factor...

I drove 35 miles out to the middle of nowhere, did a donut, then came back. Good times. Beautiful in person, kinda hard to appreciate on a phone's camera...

The same look that's popular in Socal would get you stuck in many other places... Hellaflush = hellastuck on a dip here. :rofl:

I have all six of them, watched the first one... wasn't horribly impressed, but I'll check out the others, they're mercifully shorter. :p You wouldn't believe how hard it was to track these down though... Also, doesn't this thread pop up in a different form once every 6 months?

Eh, good point. How the hell do people keep those things upright when stopped? I guess they must be much larger/stronger people than I...

Just giving you crap man, I went to Youtube to watch it. Never actually seen the movie to be honest. Out of context, it's still creepy... Wouldn't have been out of place in a Poe story.

Well, for what it's worth, the guy shares a screen name a species of primate... what did you expect?

Mike's original post, not one of yours, I was wondering if the original post Mike made implied that this was specifically about Russian made weaponry. Like you guys, I wouldn't trust a Chinese gun to not 'splode all over my hands and face...

S4 is a Jetta if I'm not mistaken? Once you take away the badges anyway... Aristo is basically the Toyota equivalent of the S4, just a comfy, nice 4 door car with a bit of spunk... So if it were me and my style, it would come down to either the Jag or the Supra. If you have to work on either...
