    e-brake cable problems

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    The one thing I hate about the online play.... the other people. All they want to use are RACE cars. All wings set to max downforce. While this is fun sometimes, any monkey can run around the track with purpose built race cars. Plus, they can't drive... just play bumper cars. To me, the game is...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Overall it's great, but one big disappointment... the course "maker"... lol, why didn't they just call it "course randomizer", since you cannot really "make" anything, just random things.... anyway, back to playing GT

    Someone needs to make a video like this about the Supra!

    Sweet. Inspired by Aryton Senna... One outstanding driver, one outstanding person. Met him at the Detroit Grand Prix one year. Spun his car, and broke part of his suspension during practice. He was walking back to the pits, I asked for his autograph. He could have turned his head and kept...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Yeah, that's crazy... I mean, no power lumbar support... no power side bolsters... no power seat angle adjustments... no power reclining backrest... OK, so I have the front seats from my old SHO, and I built some gaming seats out of them. Two 6V lantern batteries provide power for each seat...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    With GT5 less than a week away, will anyone be playing it? If any of you will be up for it, my PSN ID is Sudoh, just put Supramania in the message with a friend request.

    Looking for some coilover suggestions...

    Firstly, I'm not asking which is best or which one I should buy or how one compares to the next... What I am looking for are other Supra owners in the Atlanta, GA or Chattanooga, Tn areas that have either JIC, Tien or Stance on their cars, and would it be possible for us to get together, as I...

    Funny oil change story

    really, find a new shop. depending on the year of the bmw (IIRC, they changed in 2001 or so), bmw recommends 0w-30 in their newer cars! i use 5w-30 in my 88 E30 325. loose tolerances my backside, german engineering is precise.

    new owner in N Ga

    hi all, i'm Ron and live in NW Ga. Just bought a new to me 86.5 hardtop with sport package a couple of weeks ago. No pics yet, but will get some next week. High miles, 200k :yikes:, but interior looks great, no rips or anything, just wear on the shifter, steering wheel and e-brake. Front fender...
