    Fresh paint job, over the winter!

    IMO, in a 2 tone like that the color on the bottom should always be the darker color.

    Intro.

    If your leaking coolant dont drive the car. You can very easily anneal the head, and warp it and blow a HG if you havent already. Annealing is a process where too much heat causes grain growth, which essentially means the aluminum becomes too soft. Do some research if you want to know more...

    Badass suspension!!! Made by Bose Audio!!!!

    Do they have a bad rep for reliability? I was unaware. I bought my parents a bose wave radio w/ cd player for christmas like 5 1/2 years ago. My mom rocks out with that thing all day everyday, and never had a problem with it. I'm not even sure if shes changed the battery in the remote, if so...

    Was browsing craigslist and spotted this beast. Its (allegedly) a brand new legit Garrett GT45 turbo. Too much turbo for my needs, but for somebody else this might be just what the doctor ordered, and I'd love to see a fellow supra owner run it. Check it out for yourself...

    is it safe to raise the boost up if my car isn't tuned yet??

    This is a good idea, I would have had a friend w/ a pad and pen in the passenger seat recording data. This sounds much easier and doesnt require a friend.

    Using car parts in a manner they weren't designed for.((Now w/ NWS "goodness" ))

    These are super awesome, i want to make one, then again ive wanted to build a hovercraft for like 3 years, so its unlikely either project will ever happen. This one is cooler, pun intended:

    Supra in old school option video

    awesome vid would have liked to see more of that mk3. From what limited exposure I have to japanese culture it seems to be very unique and interesting especially their sense of humor (mainly youtube and jdm option vids). And from what I learned from school i also am a fan of their business...
