    Improving Factory Brakes

    So do you like the Yellows, I.J.? I despise "touchy grabby" brakes so that is good to hear that the yellows are not. Any verdict on the Motul brake fluid? I have my eyes set on RBF600.

    Longest trip in your MK3?

    Dont be such a pussy! I drove both of my 88 turbo cars(the first one had a slightly blown headgasket) through 900mile round trips from Ohio to Virginia, two times a month; back in the college days. Through winter and summer they both did exceptionally well, especially trucking through the huge...

    Improving Factory Brakes

    This is such an akward subject for me, I have become so familiar with every aspect of the MK3 except for the brakes... Anyway, I'm planning on attending a couple of track day events at VIR this spring/summer, and I would like to have a decent pad to go with my slotted rotors and SS lines. I...

    Improving Factory Brakes

    Well I absolutely do not want to switch to a big brake, or Cobra setup on my DD Mk3. Has every option(pad/rotor combo) been explored with our cars? What is the verdict on the "performance" brake pads for the Mk3? Lets see, we have: EBC YellowStuff advertised as a "full race pad"(pshhh)...

    TrackDaze

    Well I am looking to get on a road course with the Supra, finally. I have looked into TrackDaze, and the Tarheel Sportscar Club. Does anyone on here have any experience with either of these organizations. https://www.trackdaze.com/ http://www.thscc.com/timetrial/index.html

    GM Trans to 7M write up

    Weird this thread was dug up. His entire kit resided behind the engine on my street car before the converter bosses broke, then broke my flexplate. For anyone defiantly set on this swap, unless you want to spend major coin on the ATI setup, have the engine to trans. plate made up, and adapt to...

    Ever wondered what a Torque Converter does? Watch this and get educated!

    The prop used from 2:54-3:50 is a great example! I feel that the simplistic visuals throughout the 40s &50s are much easier to grasp in comparison to modernized examples. This video would have made my automatic transmissions instructer's life too easy.

    Who wants to move to Australia?

    That sounds rough. I would hate to see one of those towns after the company has moved out! Just as you stated it's all about the dollar, I imagine the companies have similar philosophies about the way they deal with the environment and the towns they inhabit. On a scale of 1-10 10 being the...
