I replaced all 4 seals this summer as well as the windshield. There is a great write-up in the tech section on how to seal a targa top. I missed a step the first time and got soaked in a downpour. Re-did the seals and it doesn't leak a drop. I had to trim the seals on the targa itself to make...

Please don't put emotions to my post. I did not get pissed. Actually, i was rather amused. Its just a forum.

Most cars are not assets. A house (normally) appreciates, an MKIII Supra does not. If it were an asset, then our cars would be worth at least $50k because they stickered at what, $25k-$35k eighteen years ago? Thanks to a silly movie, some of the MKIVs have truly appreciated. Those would be...

Paint your car pink. Also works great to prevent theft of office supplies and tools. I know this from experience! Or, get "the Club". Nobody can get around that! :sarcasm: Right now my factory alarm is on the blitz (aka, normal). I don't lock it unless i'm in a questionable area. Then...

OMG they do come with 1jz's! I thought you guys were BS'ing..Gotta paint mine white, then I'll install the engine and see what happens..I've never worked on a 1jz before.

Just installed my new seatbelts. They were shipped from japan, $90 ea (champion). Gray, grey, or grae are the only color choices. Here's what one looks like: They come with everything you see in the picture, including all the plastic parts. They are very easy to install, and they come with...

Why IJ, you almost made me blush! I said "almost".. Thanks for all the ideas, but the black rubber corks are working out. They come in a variety of sizes. If they stick up too far, I can take the scissors and cut them down to size. Plus, they are easy to remove. I've got the car torn...

Apparently not in this state. I ended up with a large variety of black rubber corks. Gives me an excuse to use my hammer ;)

Insulation came out when I pulled the carpet out. RTV works well on these holes? I've been trying to find rubber plugs and have not had much luck!! All I find are rubber grommets with holes in the center. I would think a solid rubber grommet would outlast the RTV.. I will get a seat belt...

No better time than the holidays for starting a new supra project! Yesterday I ripped out most of my interior. I'm not bored - I just received my new carpet kit. The old carpet suffered from a large dark (black?) stain that covered half the passenger side, from the back seat all the way under...

Thanks for the details, Poo! :naughty: (is it ok to call you Poo like IJ does?)

Quit being a tease and give me some details here, Poodles! You know I'm clueless! I plan to tear this car apart next weekend and I'm sure it will involve removing both front tires and hitting something with a hammer. DETAILS, please. ;)

Here was my setup: New brembo blanks, porterfield pads, ss brake lines, POS brake master cylinder POS brake master cylinder starts failing after about 2500 miles. Car starts pulling to the right during hard brakes. I notice twice the brake dust covering the PS wheel than the DS wheel. I...

I have NGK iridiums in my car, and a slight miss. An annoying but slight miss. Perhaps it is related to the NGKs But I'm confused (whats new?). What kind of life expectancy is there on spark plugs in a sup? My altima has 60k on it running factory plugs. I know the sup is a turbo, runs hotter...

Jeff, I'm so glad you finally got a supra of your own!!!!! (how could I resist??)

If your PS rack is original, its probably shot anyways. I just went through the fun of replacing the rack and all the high-pressure PS lines as well. Wow, the steering is sooo much nicer! My car's PS was on its way out since the day I bought it. I've run this car without PS for a day and I can...

Has anyone bought one of those molded OEM carpet kits for their supra? I'm looking for some that has a tighter pile than the original so its easier to clean. Would've kept mine but the wiper fluid line that conveniently runs under the passenger side seats failed, so I'm writing it off as ruined...

Ditto with my SPT's. I run stock size. The tires the kumhos replaced were terrible, I could fishtail taking off moderately on wet pavement. From what I've read on here, most accidents are on wet roads. Add RWD and poor tire traction, its a disaster waiting to happen. I'm very cautious about...

I think I counted 12 MKIII's. In case you didn't notice, all were targas! Reds ruled this meet. Orbis' low-miles red car was a sight. Hate to see you sell it :3d_frown: My favorite pic: Fabulous paint, Steve. Time for that shadow gray interior..

Some guy complimented my car at a gas station. Then proceeded to tell me how back in the 80's he got to ride in one out west. All was good until he told me how great the t-tops were. Hmmm...... Nissan 300z, perhaps? Hated to correct a guy in regards to cars but couldn't resist.
