    A Look inside the Stock Muffler

    The resonator got thrown in the trash probably 10 years ago.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Powder coat looks nice. Those are for sure expensive! I picked up a set of them last year, but dang they were clean. The ones I got didn't even look used. I am battling lots of material interference on the backing plate with those rear STI Rotors. Not sure how some people get away with using...

    New DriftMotion CPS Magnet Mod & Digital CPS Upgrade ???

    Interesting modification they came up with. I guess the hall effect sensor retrofit makes sense if your existing CPS VR pickup coils are shot. Its about the same price as a new CPS. This could be a good candidate for good CPS housing I have lying around with shot coils. Though you must be...

    1jz v12

    Yeah I saw that. Sounds like he was successful by sheer luck that these cylinder heads are symmetrical. If you look close through the photos in the Road and Track article, you will notice a 1st mock up of the engine where the intake of both banks are in the center V. In the final iteration of...

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Yeah strange, the price didn't budge at all in the last 2 hours either. People did all their bidding early. The good news is we now know what people are willing to pay for a vehicle in this condition. I don't see it selling for 60k plus on Barrett Jackson either. It does not check all the...

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Still guessing what they have that reserve set to. It should skyrocket in the final 10 minutes of bidding. I am surprised how much bidding activity there has been days before the end of the auction.

    1JZ-GTE camshaft ball bearing

    Are these aftermarket cams or OEM? Edit: Nevermind, I see these are probably Camtech. What duration did you get? The lobe dimensions are significantly different than stock.

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Same here, though I don't plan on ever parting with mine. Would be nice to see values climbing on these in the future. Maybe then the parts I build will have more demand than just a trickle... :D

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Wait... four hundred thousand.. :) Simple typo. But yeah fourty thousand is crazy high. That's in MKIV territory.

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    I believe this is due to a large portion of the MKIII owners are broke and can't afford anything more than cheap.

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Ah yeah there it is. Thats the one that should be going to Barrett Jackson. Even has the plastic on the seats still.

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Isn't there another MKIII that was stored somewhere in a Canadian Toyota Dealership? Or was that sold off? I would like to meet the person that set the reserve price to understand how he could have predicted the price would rise this high...

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Yeah this is what Hagerty lists them as: Current Values #1 Concours $17,200 Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire...

    1990 Turbo Supra with 3k miles for sale?

    Looks like there are 5 or 6 serious bidders on this car based on the history. 30k and still climbing... Reserve still not met. Any ideas on what could possibly drive the price this high? Is this a vehicle that has secret stores of drugs stored within its fenders?
