Thought about trying a set of Goodyear F1 GS-D3. I have run three sets of these tires on my N/A over ten years, never once had them rotated, all three sets wore evenly until they were done. Alos due to the V groove they dont pull from road grooves, and grip like a monkey on a branch. Not sure...

It doesn't matter what shop you use. In my case I take full responsibilty for not following my own needs and requesting what I should have. Instead I let the reputation I found here on supramania blurr my common sense LOL So with that being said even if you used the same shop as I did with the...

I am not going to recommend any particular shop, but from my experience with having my 7mge just recently rebuilt I will recommend you do the following steps in order to get what you pay for. 1. Get everything in writing before you exchange any money 2. Use a credit card just in case 3...

I'm hoping to have IJ take a look and give his opinion.

I don't drive it hard at at, maybe sometimes spirited getting on the freeway. If you use the link you can see all six plugs and only cyl#5 shows any signs of ash or carbon deposits. In the pic I just posted, that plaug has less than 500 miles on it, the other 5 plugs are perfectly normal.

I recently had my 7mge rebuilt by a very reputable shop. I'm not sure what oil they used as the break in oil but I switched to Castrol GC 0-30 at around 2k miles. I had to add oil more often than normal for an engine that should by now be broken in. Then at around 3-4K I decided to have a look...

I saw a show where they used POR-15, and there was one more coating to use before painting. http://www.por15.com/TIE-COAT-PRIMER/productinfo/TCG/

I painted these with Rustoleum Hammered Black

Did you look at rockauto.com

This don't help right away but, back in November I saw show the showcased a company called Rywire that made complete wiring harneses using aircraft wire and quality insulated wire for hondas. I contacted them and let them know about the huge global Supra Community, they wrote back and said they...

I just checked out the tools online turns out a friend has one which will save me some money. The tubing I'll be using for the heater hose connections will seamless 5/8" dia. X .028 wall, that make it sturdy so I wont need a connection between the core and the engine bay. The Tanks I'll have a...

Many Thanks IJ , i'll keep that machining idea in mind.

I'm pretty sure my heater core is failing. So using Solid Works, machinging skills, and silver soldering skills, I'm going to design and make one from stainless. The only question I can't find an answer for is what the flare, or bump, or whatever you call it is on the copper tubing that...

te72, you got that right currently tirerack is getting $328.00 ea for the 315/35/17s which is exactly why I stick to the 16" rims on my N/A. On my turbo which is a work in progress, I'd like to have 18" all the way around.

If you can't tighten down on a screw but need to torque it and want it to stay put use Loctite 222 Purple Dot Threadlocker. It will hold the screw at the torque value you applied, won't back out, and when you want to remove it will come right out. Red Loctite folks refer too is usually Loctite...

Te72, I agree they are incredible tires, I get mine at discount tires and get them to match the tirerack.com price, theyre currently 195.00 ea. I payed 169.00 a couple of years ago, this is my thrid set. Poodles? what Ford Logo, grins. Yup I filled the center caps with a bondo filler, sanded...

This is what I had before, spray painted sawblades. The Z rims look pretty good too, the Mustang rims, well if I was going to put that kind of money into rims I might as well buy a new set of knockoff Mustang rims. When these Goodyear tires wear out, since they don't make them anymore, I will be...

Question for Devin the OP. What's the paint looking like now since you first posted on the 24th of Jan. Did you throw some wax on after everything dried? Could you post up some more recent pics, I'm asking because acutally the results look really good to me, and only the acidity of the product...

LOL thats funny and so truthful, I think maybe one in five people that come up to me and comment on the car know it's a Supra, the rest ask what kind of car that is.

These Probe rims are 16" X 7.4" +38mm offset, Stock MK3's are 16" X 7" +37mm offset. I think there are Probe 16" X 8" out there also
