Fairly certain that my entire transmission is stock, so thanks for the advice against 2nd gear launches. I can double clutch and it seems to cooperate, but I'm not much a fan of the clutch I have. I have the same issue as Steve, 1-2 shifts are not easy by any means. Tire wise, I won't be able...

All I want is to run an 11.xx in Vegas this year at SIV. Think I can do it with ~500whp (a guess, at best, at what the tune may turn out), 4.11 OS Giken diff, and a 2nd gear launch? I would normally use 1st, but pretty sure my Spec twin disc fried my synchro for 2nd. Either way, I'll be giving...

You PacNW folks better make it down to Vegas this year. Even though we get to read this fantastic series of tales, it can't compare to hanging out in person... Also, glad I'm not the only one noticing the sheer volume of Subarus. I think they're breeding.

Long time since I've poked my head in here. Looking good Jeff. Did you ever sort out that vibration over the winter?

Hey guys, in case anyone else was interested, like Van and myself, Paulo emailed me a couple days ago to let me know they're putting together a group buy on side trim.

Have patience Miguel, the staff around here are some pretty busy folks. I'll see if I can't rustle up Steve or Jay though. :)

Heh, don't I know it bud... I've always been of the mindset that a Supra is really never "finished" but rather as far as it will go with a particular owner. Not many folks have the patience to see their vision of their ideal Supra through to the end. Even with my build, I'm starting to...

Correct me if I'm seeing something wrong here, but 817 ft-lbs??? One of the other runs was something like 675? ...I might need my eyes checked. If not, congrats though!

Seems about right, from what I remember when I was on here a lot more frequently. Personally if I ever grow tired of the stock seats (mine are cloth, and I could use all the support and grip I can get, so they'll stay that way), I'll end up putting in a set of Brides. But the black door panels...

Look at the numbers there bud. Total production worldwide for the Mk3 in 91/92 wasn't super high to begin with. I'd have to get out my book or dig a bit, but if memory serves, you're looking at around 3000 or so? Figure how many of them had leather? Now figure how many of them had the shadow...

Trainwreck, I'm digging the cleanliness of it all. Between the 10k tach, seats/harnesses, and the fuel cell I have to think something must be special about this car. Speaking of fuel cells, may have to go that route myself, but I'm pretty unwilling to modify the rear floor areas. Wanting to...

I think this might be helpful, although whether or not you can get your hands on some of these parts these days... http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/catalog.aspx?F=4101&P=1 There are six of them on all Supras I've been underneath, but I believe the diagram # you are after is...

Quick review on my part: I bought the yellow bushings a few years back. Finally installed them when the subframes were out of the car for a complete overhaul. After cleaning what little gunk and rust was on the subframes, and in the bushing holes, I had the subframes painted. These bushings...

I have one of the replicas as well, but never test fit it beyond a simple mockup. Hopefully it won't have too many fitment issues, as I like the look. Beals, where did you find it for sale in Japan? I'm always a little surprised to see Mk3 stuff still being made over there... would like to...

I think the car had a solid 2.0 60' with that setup, but I only had one pass before being eliminated. Helps to pay attention to what class you're best suited for haha! Like I said, I'm a road racer, my fun happens in the turns. If I could pull a 1.8 out of genuine street tires that handle good...

Well, I managed a 2.15 60' the last time I took the Mk3 down the strip. This was on 275/40/17 NT05's, with 3.73 gearing, and about 5500 or so rpm of a launch. Didn't even chirp the tires... New setup has 4.11 gearing, same tire setup, and significantly more power. So, if I can pull off a 1.8...

Ahh, that makes sense. I'm more a road racer myself, canyon / mountain roads, that sort of thing. While I can and do drag race, I will adapt to the car for my traction needs as necessary. Can't wait to get mine up and running this spring. Will be my first time behind the wheel of an actually...

That's rad, my hat is off to you man. She has obviously done your family well with that many miles on the clock. Dude, I'm still learning about these cars, and I've literally torn my 87 completely apart and put it (mostly at this point) back together in my garage. I can tell you one thing...

Good man Tyler. I have been known to take one for the team when it comes to bringing Shine parts to market for us Mk3 folks, like ERA is trying to do. On that note, I'd also be willing to pitch in $20 to ERA (just PM me dude, and we can work it out) for the purchase of the Autostyle lip. I...

I err... had to match up a bolt, and it was uhh... cold out. Yeah, let's stick with that. :p Thanks Jay! Talking about Grant (grandavi on here, I believe)? Or are you referring to someone else? Been a while since I frequented the forums... Either way, original owners of just about any car...
