    Oil-to-Water Cooler

    I've been strongly considering running an oil-to-water cooler (a la 1JZ, 2JZ, and every car from the mid 90s on) on my 7M instead of an oil thermostat on a full flow aftermarket air-to-oil cooler setup, since thats one of the functions of it. Thoughts?

    I've been searching everywhere for these things. Where are people getting them nowadays?

    Orion's Projekt: Alexis

    Because I'm 100% serious this time about getting my Supra back on the road as a daily driver, I decided to just start over with a new thread. I really really wanted to do this earlier, but because of college and all sorts of multiple family medical emergencies on top of not having a job, it was...

    Correctly controlling boost levels

    This post is from Joe Perez in the MiataTurbo forums. He's a really cool guy and great at writing. I'm not going to take any credit for any of this or rewrite anything, it's beautifully done as is.

    Celebration, FL Car Show 2009

    Wasnt sure where to post this. First of all, I'd like to point out how difficult it is to get good shots of cars with clueless dumb people wandering about. Even then, exotics are stacked neatly on top of each other, and there was little room to set up a good shot. Otherwise, it was another...

    Salvation from recent subpar photoshops

    As of right now, its still a work in progress. I've spent most of today working on it; most of today meaning painstaking polygon lasso detail and pixel selection :icon_evil Original is in 2560 x 1600. I'm not used to working in resolutions that high; hell my lappy only has 1680 x 1050 res as...

    MkIII front end on a MkIV

    As you can tell, I'm no color matching expert. Lighting differences would just never let the two go together well. If I had two similarly colored Supras at the same angle with the same lighting, it sure would make it easier :icon_razz I knew I wouldnt have much luck, which is also evident in...

    How awesome is this awesome hood?

    Feel free to ignore the Z31 hood scoop over the turbo. I used this pic because it was a good angle. I'm not done with it yet; still planning on doing the top secret vents at least on the drivers side; passenger side would be a bit difficult to photoshop out the scoop and put the reverse vents...

    Removing the needles in the instrument cluster..

    So. How do I do it? I searched around and checked the TSRM to no avail. See, years ago, I bought some ricer reverse glow gauges on eBay and they look badass when lit up. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to remove the needles on the stock gauges to replace the face plates with my uber...

    MkIII as a big player in Fast Track: No Limits???

    Wtf? Apparently its a F&F knock-off German made-for-TV movie.. But it does have a seriously riced out MkIII in it, and quite often. Here's a Youtoob trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISqueosPMyo And since it was never released outside of Spain and Germany...

    FFIM or MAFT Pro?

    Let me start out by saying an AEM UEGO is on the way and I ALREADY HAVE THE ORIGINAL MAF-T and love it. Basically over summer I'll only have enough for one. I've been leaning much more towards FFIM/FMIC combo because I can worry so much less about all the little places that can leak, spool...

    Best production year MkIII Supra

    ...is 1988. This is why: ☼: Earlier Supras are lighter than later ones ☼: They are also more common (or rather, more were made) ☼: Last year for solid engine mounts ☼: 6M crank ☼: Best pre89 spoiler. 86.5, 87, and N/A 89s had square third brake lights instead of...

    Photoshopped MkIII fronts

    Anyone just randomly get ideas and photoshop them on to a MkIII? Occasionally I'll see a lightly modded car with a stock or stock looking front end and wonder what it would look like. Not a fan of big and gaudy, just nice and tasteful, but I went apeshit when I did the Evo IX one...I really...

    MkIII front bumper bastardization thread

    More similar ones on the way. I sincerely apologize to the owners of these cars as I used them because of the angles each of the two pictures were taken at. Oh ninja edit...obviously I didnt take the time on the details to make it perfect, but I'm only doing this to see what it would look like...

    Orion's plans for the summer

    Long story short I'm tired of my DD Miata and its little issues. I got into Supras when I got into cars, not Miatas. Anyways, I'll be working over summer full time and should have around $3500, but I'd rather save as much as I can for college. However, its also important not to cheap out on...

    CT-12b turbos on a 1G-GTE

    Okay well a few years ago there was a thread by Arnout on SF where he converted some 2JZ ct12b turbos to work with a 1ggte manifold or something like that, maybe it was ct12 turbos to work on a 2JZ manifold... Anyways, I'm looking for that thread...I guess SF has been down since then and...

    USF vs UCF

    Hahaha...I know this probably isnt the best place to post this, but I'll give it a shot. Okay, well I've been doing some research...and originally I had planned to go to USF (for the past 3 years now actually) for Mechanical Engineering, but recently one of my teachers mentioned that UCF...
