    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    Another potential idea. Sell this supra, import a Jza70 in from Japan. The market for them has really dropped, I could get one imported and registered for the same sort of money that a JZ swap would cost, and I'd probably make my money back if I were to sell it. I still love supras, I am...

    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    I don't do many miles so I can justify having big engined cars. Anyway, I doubt the Supra would be much more economical! I feel sort of disappointed in myself for wanting to bail on the Supra before I've even got started on it, but right now I'm thinking that as ever, I've bitten off more than...

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    A man very clearly after my own heart ;). The one and only reason I bought a 205 instead of a MK2/MK3 Polo as my first car like I had intended is that I couldn't stand the amount of 'scene' tripe on the forums.

    How much can a MK3 be 'Shortened'?

    The Supra is pretty stripped out and a little too Hardcore for me to want to really be using it everyday. If I could get the Supra in the garage I can get myself a daily and then use the Supra just for track days.

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    I have to admit I was half expecting the whole 'scene' Volkswagen thing when I opened this. You know, the cut springs, soft toys hanging from towing eyes, 165 section tyres mounted on 9J rims, 'stickerbombed' panels, etc. I'm glad I was wrong!

    How much can a MK3 be 'Shortened'?

    I know it is a strange thread title but stay with me here. I have a tiny garage and I am wondering if I could get my Supra to fit in there. The car currently in their is 178inches long and it JUST fits. A MK3 Supra apparently is 181.9inches long and obviously won't fit, however I was...

    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    Funnily enough it is your thread there that inspired me to quit smoking, stop drinking as much as I used to and stop spending loads of money on eating out when I'm at work so I'd have more $$$ to spend on my Supra :). I am terrified that I'll eventually lose interest in the Supra if I were to...

    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    I am not nearly as patient as I should be to be taking on a big project. I have a very short attention span when it comes to cars and as such I have had about 10 in the last three years!

    Jaguar XJR/Lexus GS300 (Aristo)/Audi S4 Vs MKIII Supra

    At bit of a long one, but I'd appreciate some input! I thought I'd ask on here as I'm after some comparisons of these particular cars to a modified MK3 Supra. Basically I've been a long time MKIII Supra fan. I fell in love with them when I was about 8 playing the first Gran Turismo game...

    NSX / Miata

    Is a NSX actually going to be a good choice for a daily? Considering the age and type of car I'd have thought probably not. Haven't driven a NSX so cannot comment, but from all accounts I've read and heard they are supposed to be about handling and drive experience over raw speed (unless...

    poly subframe bushings kit

    Are these going to be the same prices you mentioned in that pm a few weeks back? What's the deal with people talking about different colours of bushings? Are different compounds available?

    BHG symptoms?

    Trying to decide between a 2JZGE swap (keeping it NA and then collecting parts to go turbo) right or just to slap a new head gasket on the 7M, abuse it for a few more months and then go 2JZ NA-T right off of the bat when the old 7M finally does give up. I think I'm going to buy a block tester...

    BHG symptoms?

    You see this is precisely why I am in a dilemma. I am doubting the Head gasket, but I don't have enough proof to condemn it considering I've drove the car about 4 times. Likewise I don't want to put the car on the road and then find out 2 weeks down the line that I definitely have a blown head...

    BHG symptoms?

    The previous owner had the car for the last 30,000 miles of the 100,000 miles and even with the hard usage he has put it through he hasn't touched the HG. The cooling system is the standard clutch fan setup, however the A/C equipment has been removed, including the A/C fan. Haven't had any...

    BHG symptoms?

    I know that BHG threads have been done to death on here, I have searched but I'd still like a bit of input for you guys please if possible :). Long story short I bought a 91 NA that someone had been using as a drift car. The car has been used pretty hard, but was sold as being a good runner...

    Keyless push button start?

    I have this on my MK3. Interesting for the first 7 starts, then the worries about security and the general pointlessness kick in. I'm looking to remove mine in the near future.

    We should petition to have these guys make coilovers for our cars...

    Do these guys actually make the coilovers, or do they just use the same generic design like most coilovers in this price bracket?

    Is this a good first car?

    I can see and agree completely with the angle that the 'older' guys are coming from. All of the cars that you have mentioned are going to require a lot more time, money and effort than say a Honda Civic or anything modern and sensible BUT... Whilst I didn't have a Supra as a first car, I have...

    2JZGE-T vs 1JZGTE?

    Just a thought I've come up with, if nobody is able to answer I'll start another thread at a later date. Does anybody know if I'd be able to run a Soarer 1JZGTE on a JZA70 engine loom, and would the JZA70 engine loom in turn be pretty much plug and play with the MA70 body loom? Remember I am...

    2JZGE-T vs 1JZGTE?

    Oh, of course. Stopping and turning counts far more for a track car than raw HP, infact to be completely honest the 200BHP that a 7MGE puts out is more than enough for me at this stage (You have to consider the fact that 90% of the car you'll find at road racing track days over here in England...
