I thought I'd grab some opinions from the MK3 crowd if I should junk the Did a bit more of my Head Gasket job today. Went to take off the cam covers, removed the oil feed topup pipe and saw this And here's a shot of the shite on the cams The motor has 141k on it, the...

Yep, I know that mod well. I played a lot of SAMP (San Andreas Muti-player) while at school and almost always had the MK3 installed. There is also a modified version of the. Oh, and it has a 1G-GTE engine if you manage to crack open the hood ;)

Not everyone wants to go fast in a straight line. Nor does everyone want to start modifying a brand new $80k+ car, I know I sure as hell wouldn't. You could build a supra for $40k that would destroy the GTR in the quarter , and then build another one that would destroy it at proper racing (you...

If you have issues with time or money, I'd suggest leaving the car standard. If you want to hold down 400 brake reliability daily and have no other backup car, I'd want it rebuilt. Yes, standard 7Ms can handle more power standard, but it is complete pot luck if your particular engine is going to...

How? Ferrari have a Launch control limit before voiding the warranty too. I'm seriously surprised this is the kind of reaction you guys have given by import car owners to what is by far the most exciting "import" to hit the market in years. I must check that I'm not on LS1Tech.com :biglaugh:

I'm with the big IJ with this one. Shells can be rebought, engines can be rebuilt and seats can be retrimed, but human life cannot ever be replaced. Even if you do have some sort of emotional attachment to the car you had an accident in, you should be proud in the fact that it's last duty on...

Built in Japan. Improved upon (extensively) in Britain. I love it :).

But by your definition of "walk" you mean in the quarter mile or in a Highway pull and if these things honestly mean that much to you, you're far better off dumping a fraction of that money into an old Foxbody Stang or something. You don't spend $80k on a sportscar just because it will do a...

Me at "work" Popped Collar FTMFW.

You're still a Ricer ;). I thought this badge on other car thing was an american thing... that was until I saw a Honda Civic complete with Lexus lights and "carbon fibre" rear wing with a GT-R badge on the back.... I was not amused.

Your good old R154 isn't tasked with putting 500 horespower through 4 wheels packing a phenomenal amount of grip PERFECTLY several times in a row. Human controlled launches on a manual transmission are always going to be flawed, if you give it too much gas on a launch in your Supra, you're just...

You're forgetting was 99.9% of people who look at this argument seem to ignore - The fact that the car does NOT have Launch Control. As far as I'm concerned, that video proves it - There isn't a "Press Here for Epic Launch" button like you get in other cars. You have to fanny about with that...

Still too high profile. What you need is an Aristo with a big single :naughty:.

Ahh, the bike explains alot. I thought you were acutally getting your kicks nowdays from the Corolla! :aigo: Keep safe

Bring a 1GGTE over with you from Japan. Seems to be a very popular swap for the ozzies into old Celicas. On a semi related note, would a 7MGE be suitable for an older Celica?

Err, my NA Supra stands out from , and I wouldn't exactly call it a supercar. There is far more to supercars than standing out at a set of traffic lights... The GTR is special because it is the only true Japanese supercar that will be available for a long time.

It is also wrong. Don't turn this into a 7M bashing thread guys... My first concern would be the quality of the wiring. If it looks Micky mouse, walk away.

I personally don't give a rat's arse if it has a Nissan, Toyota or Honda badge on the front, an awesome car is an awesome car. I hope the real car enthusiasts on here would back me up on that sentiment.

Proof of this? I'm sure I read a Road & Track article that said they acheived 0 - 60 in 3.6sec without LC and 3.2 seconds with it all. Oh, and they also claimed to do 15 full bore Launch controlled launches in a row and the transmission was fine - Make you think just how many times the guy in...

Err, it's not a intended feature. There is no "Press here for epic launch" button in the car, neither is their any mention of Launch control in the spec or the user manual. The Launch control is a manipulation of the car's software with the "How To" being spread via the internet, not a decided...
