    "Desensitized"?, BS

    If my parents could track my phone when I was younger (or especially so now) I'd have just given them the phone back, that's complete bullshit. If you were a good parent you'd be able to trust your kids to keep out of trouble no matter where they went. My two cents on that. I agree 100&#37...

    96 Eclipse GS with rodknock

    Definitely can't see you spending more than $2700 getting it fixed up, and I don't think I've ever seen one sell for less than $5000 around here, so if you've got a bit of cash laying around go for it.

    Indy-Cator Shift knob!

    If you're a completely tool box and can't remember/determine based on speed and RPM/feel what gear you're in, cool. Otherwise, pass.

    somebody please shoot this supra owner

    I'm gonna give it props: A+ on the body work, it looks weird and I don't like the front end but the rest of it is pretty sweet and it's all done quite well A+ on the interior, super clean! Usually don't like painted gauge clusters but it's a car wide theme so it works. I would have painted over...

    AFM question

    You absolutely don't, but thanks for playing! You do need an SAFC or equivalent to tune it though, and some careful drive time for the computer to adjust. OP: As several other people said that sounds like bad electronics. Just get an SAFC, you can EASILY and SAFELY make 300hp on 440s.

    Anyone used this turbo from driftmotion?

    Seriously guy? That's a normal 57 trim CT, more than half the upgraded CT guys are running those... Driftmotion is a reputable company that's been a vendor here for years...

    The thing I hate the most about supras/my supra is.......

    Black it out, I don't think the color of the car matters for that? Besides, I happen to think brown MkIIIs are pure sex... Trade you my black car with shoddy paint... I'll even swap the guts so you still get the nice stuff (other than, of course, the nice paint :rofl:)

    Aussie MKIII chitchat! (all welcome) NWS

    Do you guys have fishing stores down under? You can build a cheap ass MBC... not recommending it for permanent use of course but over here it's around ten dollars in parts that would get you through the dyno with a smile because your little nutless 1J managed to make a wee bit of power instead...

    Few things in this world better than cruising in a Supra.

    Drive straight south down US-31, when you get to a neighborhood called Northgate I'm the fifth house on the left LOL Some nice country cruise roads in my area (though I'm sure there's no shortage in Michigan), especially in the fall. If you're into architecture at all, my town is a pretty neat...

    7m to 7mgte

    There are a couple ways to do it, and the best (IMO) is with full GTE electronics as the GE computer has some pretty serious timing, limiting what kinds of boost you can run safely. Not sure here, but if you're talking about the accordion hose, one of the big ports on top is for the stock bypass...

    Can it be a BHG?

    Compression testers are right around thirty bucks at Advanced, go get one and give it a go (very useful tool to have anyway, if you're friends with a lot of gear heads you may be able to borrow one). Are you getting any white smoke at all? Btw, redo the fog light mod and use crimp connectors or...

    Not a tech. thread, but a question..

    Why don't you get an MkIII? (Why hasn't anyone suggested this yet?!) Luxury and performance all rolled into one, AND you could EASILY get an extremely nice, clean one for what you'd get out of that SC... Or you could get a beautiful shell and swap a 1J in yourself, also fairly easily for the...

    is it authentic or not? how can i tell

    I kinda agree with RazoE, but instead of parting it and buying another, just sell the uber rare JDM goodies off of it you don't want (I'd hazard a guess at wing and hood and tails mainly) and spend a small fraction of that getting stock stuff and then put the rest into mods. That's not dirt...

    1UZ Supra swap

    Probably wouldn't take the MkIII... Hell, not much left to break, as long as I don't randomly BHG I should be okay :rofl:

    the ford probe guy is changing to a yota guy

    I can dig your Probe, not really my thing but it's clean and not riced and has ONE color scheme going on so it's mostly there in my book :biglaugh: A few weeks ago I raced a modded V6 Probe in my mom's Avalon with three people in the car and waxed his ass from a dig and 50, 60 rolls, so I...
