your supra means more than anything in the world to you. when you can't look any part of your supra without seeing something that you have done custom, that no one but you understands. then you truly own a mkiii.

You realize that after 3 years, your car has subliminally trained you to drive with one eye on the temp gauge, and one eye on the boost gauge.

After you think you have the cooling system sorted out and you start to relax on watching the temp gauge, your Supra will strike you down. My radiator cap and then my thermostatic fan controller have failed in the last two weeks, bringing 3/4+-gauge-Oh-Sh!t-get-off-the-road-shut-it-off-moments.


...When you realize you actually need warning gauges for everything important.

And when she does, she strikes down upon you with great vengeance and furious anger lol D:

You are a Supra wonder when you realize the fan clutch is better than any electric fan.
You might be a smart Supra owner if you happen to have a JZ and PWR radiator, and can't *fit* a clutch fan setup in your car anymore, so you make due with a well-sorted OEM fan setup that flows enough (if not more) to make up for it. ;)

When you use your (girls) or your girlfriends (guys) make up brush to clean the vents and tight buttons in the interior.

That's actually a really clever idea, but my car is pretty enough, I don't think she needs makeup... :p

You might be a smart owner if you bought a Koyo radiator since you read a swap thread by some guy named Andy where it stated the Koyo works with any GTE and 2JZ-GE Fan Blade Setup. ;)

Bought my rad 4 years ago, and my engine setup 3 years ago, WHERE WAS THIS ANDY CHARACTER? :rofl:

No worries man, I had the PWR when I was still 7m. Fit just fine then...

That's a good one. Some 1J/2J guys are the only ones who get this, even other "Toyota people" ask all the time why you still have the clutch fan and how it robs sooo much horsepower blah blah. They just don't know the cool running truth!

If I could fit the clutch fan in mine, I would run one. Like te72 I also have an e-fan (taken from a Ford Taurus in a junkyard) that flows more than anyone should ever need. It'll make your feet warm standing next to the drivers door. It also is probably killing my alternator.
