    Anyone try the Nutter Butter cereal yet? Not bad.

    My Other Car Hobby - Tall n Slow

    I'd be on board for a meet, weather permitting. I know the Colorado Supra group has an annual meet, but I'm not on Facebook so I usually miss the timing on it. You're right on the LS being a good daily though, just picked up a 2000 IJM LS400 after thanksgiving. Fantastic car to pile on the miles. :)

    Check through the stickie'd threads in this section, might find the info you are looking for. Wiring isn't my specialty or I'd be glad to help. Good luck!

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Maybe it is simply a way to confuse bidders so they don't actually know how much they are bidding?

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Little piece of tint over the display should cure that brightness issue, if you can get it to stick. If not, can use VHT Niteshade, just make sure the display face is absolutely clean before you spray... As far as the temp itself goes, are you sure that's in celsius? That's a touch high for...

    Cold temps demonstrated on conventional oil

    I live where it occasionally gets that cold. Historically ran Rotella T6 in my 1j, which is a 5W40 oil. Never had any issue with starting or oil pressures when it was that cold that literally affect all cars when it gets that cold. Oil analysis regularly returned healthy results too. :)

    A Look inside the Stock Muffler

    I had forgotten how much of a pain in the butt dealing with the CT26 was, as far as hardware goes... Penetrating oil will be your very best friend if you decide to start changing out components! As for the "cascading upgrading syndrome" that was mentioned, my car became a regular Ship of...

    White Package 92 Turbo with 53k Miles Popped up in CO.

    Pros: 92 White package Turbo Sunroof (!) Very nice condition from the pictures Cons: Auto Looks like a used tampon Why, why, WHY was red such a popular color for interiors in the 70's and 80's??? Is it so the cocaine was easier to find if you dropped it?

    Can you get a permanent plate for our cars?

    David, I don't think that my car would be legal to even show pictures of in Kalifornia... it has Wyoming plates on it. We love our freedom too much. :p Seriously though, can't even flat bed a car that isn't smogged? How do you transport cars that are non operational?

    Steering Wheel and Interior Reupholster - What Options Would You Choose?

    Not a fan of the blue interior? I loved mine... so unique! In fact, part of why I want an S2000 is because they offer a similar color on a couple of their color combos. Japanese Classics does bring in some clean cars, that much is for certain.

    A Look inside the Stock Muffler

    Radar, perhaps now would be a good time to replace what's left of the stock exhaust system. A quality down pipe will really wake up the throttle response. Not sure it would solve your thunking issue though. Is the exhaust able to move much, if you grab various points and wiggle it? If so, your...

    The Fruition of Obsession -- 310,000 mile makeover --

    Andy, it really is amazing what a random orbital can do. My car's previous owner decided to spray paint the car flat black... in a dusty field... on a windy day. Needless to say, it looked like poo. Megan has a lot more patience than I do, and was able to clean the car up quite a bit. Many parts...

    MVP Track Time 2018 Track Event Schedule

    I hear ya man. I mean, it could be worse for me, sure. I could live somewhere like North Dakota or Montana. Still, the lack of tracks in the western US is sorely lacking. I've love to set up a One Lap of America west, but logistically, I don't even know if there are enough tracks to do it? As...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I apologized to mine. Coworker asked how it was running... I had to admit that it has been a few months since I've even started it. Only thing keeping it from being a daily now is a lack of appropriate for the climate tires. :nono:

    3D Printed Supra Parts

    To chime in, I think just about every Mk3 I've ever seen is missing at least one of the door lock bezels. I believe the retaining clips on the back side fall off inside the panel or otherwise break. Was just gonna glue mine on, as there's nothing structural there, but I'd be happy to buy a set...

    Greetings from California

    Oscar, you sold a Corolla in order to use a Mk3 as a daily... bravo sir, bravo. You're braver than I am! That said, take care of it, and it'll take care of you. I have many years of daily driving a Supra under my belt, they make fantastic commuters apart from being a bit thirsty.

    New DriftMotion CPS Magnet Mod & Digital CPS Upgrade ???

    Capability wise, yeah, it's not bad for a basic standalone. I mean, it can do some neat stuff, but by modern standards, "basic" is appropriate. I was more referring to the hardware itself. That ECU is getting long in the tooth, and it wasn't built to OEM standards I'm sure. Hypothetically...

    Computer cut out at 10 psi

    Buy a Miata or an S2000. Not joking. The issues you're having are just the tip of the iceberg for Supra ownership. Not trying to scare you off, but now would be a good time, financially speaking, to take an objective look at what you want from a car. Supras are fun, but they can be cars that...

    Your job title!!!

    220, sorry if I caused any offense with my last post. Dig the Superfriends meme though, haven't thought of that show since I was a wee tyke. Radar, very cool man. Explains the plate on your car! You old army / navy types have some rather amusing stories, that's for sure...
