Not sure where to post this, but I want to focus specifically on the MKIII since we all know they have their own special needs (and shops claiming experience with the MKIV are a dime a dozen)... I'm looking for a reputable performance shop around Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill, NC to tune my...

Hey all, I apologize in advance if this turns into a long read - it's somewhat complicated... I have a bit of a dilemma... Some of you may remember me from several years back - I used to be pretty active here... Basically, I'm in the process of moving, and the car's been sitting idle...

Hey everyone, Very long time, no post... I apologize... Life has been busy and the supra has taken a back seat up until now... Unfortunately, this past Saturday (12/19) my long standing mechanic / friend passed away in a car accident up in MD. He had completed a full engine tear down /...

My mechanic has been working on my tune for several weeks now (on and off) and finally seems to have a configuration that runs well and maintains good A/F ratios from idle through heavy throttle... The problem is, he has to re-load the file every time he starts the car or it seems to lose the...

I purchased a Tanabe Hyper Medallion cat-back from another member on this forum and finally had a chance to install it over the weekend. Upon installation, I have a couple issues... #1 The bend for the muffler pipe seems to rub / be VERY close to the subframe. #3 The exhaust tip is recessed...

I've searched all over for information pertaining to using the AEM F/IC on the 7M, and I've found next to nothing. The only half informative thing I found was on AEM's tech forum where someone was asking how to get it to work, then followed up with something "my car is running now, thanks AEM...

Hey all; It's been quite a while since I've posted last... My car's been down for the last couple years while I've done a rebuild. The car's finally back together. It fires up, runs and revs great... until it's placed into gear (automatic). When it's put into gear, the RPMs drop and...

Hey all; I searched around and I couldn't find anything pertaining to stock piping (only aftermarket), and my Supra is currently at my mechanics shop up in MD (a good hour away) so I can't go out and measure it - and it'll be there for quite a while more. What is the diameter of our...

HER DIARY: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested...

Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been extremely busy with wedding planning and such... I had a chance to clean up the Supe and take some Memorial Day shots with her new rims. The wheels are Rays G-Games 18x7.5 +42 (they're a bit narrower than I was planning, but...

I swapped out my stock '88 climate control this past summer with a '90+ unit. I noticed that during a trip this summer (hot day) I put the AC on at 74 degrees AUTO and left it alone... After a while, it got FREEZING in the car, yet it did not shut off... I had to put it up to 84 degrees...

I know you all hate answering everybody's off-set questions, however I just want to make sure something will work before jumping into it... I'm about to purchase a set of wheels that I've been contemplating for a month or so, and I am PRETTY SURE they'll fit properly, however I just want a...

I've been looking at potential wheels for my ride and have narrowed my selection down to a few models. I am prioritizing good quality, forged lightweight / ultra lightweight wheels (Volk, Buddy Club, SSR Comps), however there are a few outliers on my list. I've always liked Weds higher end...

Please forgive my potentially newbish question here, but I'm seeking some good, logical advice... A bit of background: A friend of mine is giving me a H3 Trim CT-26 Hybrid Turbo (similar to 57 Trim)... I'm having it sent back to TEC to be reconditioned, so when I get hold of it it'll be...

Hahaha if you don't wanna read too much, I lost... Badly... :icon_razz I was taking a left onto a main road on the way home from work and noticed a "grandpa Mercedes" swerve behind me as I passed the intersection... I didn't think much of it, as it was a grandpa driving the thing as well (I...

Simple brake question... I'm looking to improve braking without going "all out" (I don't need a big brake kit or any ultra high end racing brakes), and I'm wondering about your opinions on the Power Slot rotor / Axxis XBG pad combination... I want excellent grab, reduced fade, long life, and...

So I decided today was a "pamper the Supra" day... This morning I washed and waxed her, cleaned and Armor All'd the interior, then went out and picked up some SYLVANIA SilverStars to replace the crappy OEM headlamps and foglights (color me impressed!) So, here's my Amethyst Metallic in all her...

I swear... Having a fast car in my area is kinda like a eunuch having a big dick... You can talk about it all you want, and you can even show it off a little bit... but when it all comes down to it YOU JUST CAN'T USE IT... Wherever there's not STOP AND GO traffic, there are cops chillin...

I've been curious about this for a while, but all I can find when I search is conflicting information... Do any of you know the original 0-60 and quarter mile ratings for a STOCK Turbo/automatic configuration (meaning new, not 16+ years old and beat to hell)? The most "reliable" sites...

Hey Guys, I used to think my '88 MKIII was pretty much a standard "silver/gray" color, however I've always noticed that under certain light it had a purplish / pinkish hough to it... I've had a lot of people pull up next to me and ask what color it is (they always thought it was blue, pink or...
