Just happened to run across this forum by accident while surfing around at school. I've been visiting Supraforums.com but they seem to be A LOT more MKIV oriented than MKIII... Glad that I came across this site though. A little about myself: I'm currently a Moderator at 240SXForums.com back when I owned my 96 240SX with an S13 SR20DET (no I'm not one of those drift freaks). Currently I own a '92 Mazda Miata with a custom DIY T25 turbo setup on it, with around 140RWHP @ 7psi. Hopefully I can contribute some stuff to this forum since I've just started to learn about MKIII's and have been into the car scene since I was 12.
Just saying hi...

welcome. 240's are cool. but way way to many people have them, and try to drift with them. miata eh? you auto-x at all? i keep trying to get my dad to buy a miata but he wont go for it. got any pics of your miata at all? would ike to see the setup.
I used to auto-x it before I put the turbo setup on it. I had to ditch the PS so it made the steering feel REALLY heavy, so I don't have the response like I did before... But it still go every now and again considering I'm running KYB AGX's with Racing Beat Street Springs on it right now.
Here's a couple of pics of my car you can show your dad to favor your suggestion...

welcome, now sell it and buy a supra.
that thing must be nice on gas..... theres a kid i know in my town with a full homeade body kit, front and rear bumpers molded into the body allong with the sideskirts, had it all done up and a special slot in the rear for the exhaust tip, $1k paint job in a metal flaked maroon,
then a lady backed into him and crushed a 1' by 1' section of his front bumper about 8 days after he was finished.

That sucks to hear about his car... It's actually not THAT great on gas mileage considering it's pushing ~90psi of fuel pressure @ 7psi of boost so I typically get around 275miles from an 11 gallon tank. So around 25mpg or so... Actually planning on keeping this car and using it as daily driver purposes and building a track Supra. At least that's the plan as of now...
Welcome!

There's a few more pics of the car in my album on here I made today. http://www.supramania.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=181
Now that I look at that pic of my Suspension... I need to do something about that rear sway bar, like replace it with a Racing Beat one.
