Last I heard, you had actually managed to get yourself a 355 or something like that, did I hear wrong? Seems odd to come back to the Supra world after owning a Ferarri...

I may need to make a visit over there sometime...

Thanks for the link, and good read all around. Never really thought about it, and reaffirms my thoughts that I want a mid-range monster rather than an engine I have to rev the ever-loving shit out of it. Granted, 72.5mm stroke is nice for piston speeds...

Hmm... if I were mounting an extinguisher in my car, it would probably be attached with a simple bracket onto the driver side of the cage hoop. Or perhaps along where the driver side frame rail under the door is, if it were small enough to not get in the way. I'd be worried about it moving...

Ford makes some nice electric fan setups. I have a Contour setup that will be going in my car if it'll fit. If not I'm getting the Koyo radiator... I'd be surprised if the MkVIII and Taurus/Contour aren't the same fans with different shrouds.

So where do they hide all the magical cold-sauce if there's still plenty of it left? Not a big deal for me personally, I'm more a windows down kinda guy, and considering around here the heater is used WAY more than the AC... but I'm still curious. They haven't made R12 in what, like 15 years...

Nice looking truck man, but Theresa's gonna be moving this thread soon. :p

Yeah no kidding... pretty sure you have more parts cars than I've had Supras. As for myself, I've decided that I'm keeping the Mk3 setup I have now. Once I finish it, I will be looking at other ideas for a project/toy. Will probably always have a Supra though...

Trying to keep a more or less low profile among the neighbors... don't really NEED a reason to be on anyone's radar, I'm literally the only one in the neighborhood that I've seen with sports cars. You know, I've been nearly sideswiped on a couple occasions because people are too lazy to look...

Awesome, how did you get that lucky? Other guy parting out their car, or just need the money? Either way, congrats! Custom wheels from what I've been seeing seem to run anywhere from $2000usd (used) to $5000+usd (new). Not exactly something I'm looking forward to spending the money on haha...

Man... shitty luck. Sorry to hear that. :( Keep us posted though, wish ya a speedy recovery! :)

Hey, personally I like Honda engines, at least the 4 cylinder ones. They make some particularly nice bike engines... and as much of a Toyota guy as I am, and would love to build a 3SGE Beams engine for the 7 replica, I think spending the same amount on a stock F20c or F22 would be a better...

Classy, but I like the rat-rod mentality! :)

Third one this week... so far we're 2/3 on returns too. See you soon! :rofl:

Things like this vary state to state. Here in Wyoming, you can apply for what's known as a "sheriff's title", they try to contact the previous owner at the last known address, you have to run an ad in the local paper for 2-3 weeks, and if nobody comes forward to claim the car, you can get your...

I believe he means to put that extra quart of oil IN your engine... in my experience with Supras, definitely a good idea. Probably would have saved my 7m had I ran it with that extra quart. :nono: Good to know, thanks for the tip! Not a bad idea anyway, buddy of mine in AZ lost a really nice...

Stock tire size on the Mk3 Supra is a 225/50/16, so ~631.4mm = ~24.86" height. Nice swap by the way, I like it... And "Jags that run"? Sad what that seems to imply. :p

Leave it to shaeff... :rofl:

Only other use of the term "plank" that I'm familiar with refers to the stick that pirates sent people walking off their ships with, so yeah... planking = death? While on the subject, why didn't pirates just toss people overboard, or make them jump off? Why bother making a special place to walk...

Good news everybody! He's back! :p
