    cressida front end on a supra...

    Why? In that case You'd be better off buying a Soarer in the first place.

    cressida front end on a supra...

    I can respect the custom work the would go into a front end conversion, but I just can't understand why you would do it. Am I the only one that thinks the Soapra looks a lot like a sileighty?

    Exhaust size?

    Are you sure it's right to say it's not needed on any system? I'm sure there is a thread somewhere in the 7MGE section that features dyno chats showing a power drop on a NA car when a larger exhaust was used. On a Turbo car however, I understand that bigger means better as turbos love to...

    hard thought to swallow

    Bout time someone called me on this ;). I merely was making a point - Assumptions are a bitch . The OP probably saw a guy in his teens/early 20's with a baseball cap on and automatically assumed that as soon as the car got home a Karate Kid bodykit complete with pink neons was going to be...

    Question for 1UZ Supra owners

    The following link has a pretty extensive section regarding the wiring and explains it a lot better than I could :). http://www.lextreme.com/1uzfe_info.html This also seems like a decent supra specific guide, but not as extensive as the first one. http://www.lextreme.com/supra-swap.html As...

    Supra wins on "Pinks" reminder Show time-

    That's exactly the point I was getting at. By no means am I putting down people who are in the Drag racing scene, but I just find it funny that some of you guys are ripping on NASCAR because they only turn left when the sport you want to be promoted features two cars going in a straight line for...

    Robot Dogs...

    That is one of the most eerie things I've seen in a long time. "Normal" Robots don#t phase be at all, but there is something about that one I just don't like...

    LS/SC/GS – Which one would you have?

    Remember people, the "SC" would be in actual be a Soarer, complete with 1JZ goodness :D.

    LS/SC/GS – Which one would you have?

    I’ve narrowed my shortlist of possible Supra replacements down to an early LS, GS or SC Lexus. Because of the cheapness of Imports here, the “SC” would more than likely be a Soarer (1JZ-GTE variant) and the “GS” an Aristo (2JZ-GTE variant). From where I’m standing, they all have their Pros...

    Need help with 2jz question,.

    The bottom ends are also good for less power than non VVTI variants due to weak(er) rods.

    engine thumping

    I'm some what doubtful that this is rod knock, the thumping sound the original poster is describing has all the hallmarks of a loose harmonic balancer/Crank Pulley bolt... There is usually an automatic assumption here that if it's a 7M and it's knocking, it's rod knock. You have nothing to...

    Well, my Supra dreams are over...

    You know, you're probably right there, but my mistake was made last Wednesday, and there isn't an awful lot I can do right now to correct it. The best I can do is advise others against my mistakes If I see a rust free a70 at a reasonable price, I'll jump on it, but the chances of that...

    Well, my Supra dreams are over...

    I wish that was an option, I'd kill for a Texas/Cali car right about now... The deal did hurt a bit though, we agreed on a price, I had arranged train tickets and a trailer to bring the car to London, and then the bloke sold it on ebay for twice the price we had agreed on :aigo:.

    Well, my Supra dreams are over...

    Well, just to let you know that a follow member is leaving the supra ranks. I sold my project MA70 earlier this week to pick up a GA70, but the deal fell through and I'm supraless. I'm as pissed as hell with myself for selling my car without having the GA70 deal set in stone, but there...
