    Driving shoes

    What does everyone wear for serious driving? I have a beat up pair of DCs that flex something wonderful, and my Converse that are, well, canvas over a thin rubber sole. The crew over at the kart track (gotta race something while the supra's under the knife) keep telling me that I should look...

    New to moderating - warning, may get technical

    So, I just got promoted on another site I belong to, and I've noticed a lot of stuff...like how I can see every PHP/SQL query since I last loaded a page. I'm also in charge of verifying anything that gets uploaded to our site content wise...making sure video is in a standard resolution...

    Bleakvoid's bumper build thread

    So today, I started some prep work on my front bumper. I shattered one side in my accident a few months back, and seeing as it's a one-off piece (Kaminari lower, molded to a shaved upper panel, then extended and widened) I figure I have to fix it. Here's how you do it, you'll need: Angle grinder...

    Got my exhaust done!

    Aaaand here's the video: http://youtu.be/WHBXn-VbjZw Holy hell, that video tag makes that easy. Anyways, that's the beast as she sits right now...just welded up a flange to the melon cannon, popped it on, warmed up the car and shot the video on my phone. Used a bar clamp to steady the...

    BOV question - A/T vs M/T

    Noobish question, but will an auto-equipped car blow off pressure the same as one with a manual? I was thinking about it, and if you're on the accelerator, the throttle plate is still open when the auto shifts, unlike when you let off to hit the clutch and shift in a manual. So, does it release...

    Northbay lovin'

    Who's got a 707 area code? 510, 290 even? No, I mean really...haven't seen but a handful of folks around my area, and you all seem to be inactive. I'm trying to come out to meets, regularly. I know KBR Performance in Vallejo is a Supra specialist, but I just haven't seen many Supras beyond them...

    Drivers kick panel access

    Trying to wire in my alarm, and I cannot, for the life of me, get to all the harnesses I need to in the drivers kick panel. I tried taking my clutch pedal out, but I can't get to the last nut on the side closest to the fender on the master cylinder. I can get a wrench on it but can't turn it...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Hey all...bought my first supra. She's an 89 targa turbo with a manual gearbox, and a rediculously wide body kit that a PO put on the car. This is how far I have to go to be flush...take note that the stock rim/225 is on a 2" spacer... ...that's 5.5" when I measuered it. Which means I'm...

    New supra, new member

    So, I'm new...to the forums, to owning a Supra, and to having a turbo. Name's Jeremy, and I just picked up an 89 Targa turbo/5-speed MA70. The PO put a ridiculous widebody kit on it (my rear fender is 5.5 inches away from the stock rim/225 on a 2" spacer :yikes: ), and I'm living with the...
