    Gearhead Garage — A Focus on the MK3

    Great video, much better than most of the in your face Youtube content out there. Very professional, excellent work. Capturing the dedication and passion for vehicle builds / specific platforms is what I like to see. Regardless of what type of vehicle or brand its always good to see what drives...

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Likely there to keep a surface rust from forming on the pump housing before install. You could clean it off with a solvent before installing into the tank. Or could just leave it, since gasoline is also a solvent that will clean it off :D

    Operation Drive and Enjoy

    Hopefully they did the rear bearings right! Let me know how the whole drivetrain is doing after you pick it up. Interested to hear how things have improved.

    High compression high RPM 7M-GE build

    Hah! Well that makes perfect sense then. Its a small world after all :D Yes the parts I got from you arrived packaged very well, thanks! Good to meet someone else also continuing to make quality parts for the MKIII. Pretty much the same route I am taking with my build, when the part is not...

    High compression high RPM 7M-GE build

    Your new components are very nice and clean, looks great. What do you think of the Technico cam gears? I am thinking of picking up a set for myself.

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Like a new ship christening, when they break a bottle of champagne over the bow before dropping it into the water?

    Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, Maybe Manual Transmission?

    Re: Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, Maybe Manual Transmission CXracing. Missing about 50% of the required parts to do it right. :D

    Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, Maybe Manual Transmission?

    Re: Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, No Manual Transmission? Hmm. Will be interesting to see what they do. Fun to drive and priority over quantifiable figures to me points toward manual trans. I bet it's going to be a automatic with paddle shifters available giving...

    MKII Supra Built LSD Differential.

    Hey All This is the 1st individual that has requested a MKII differential from me. (Not for sale) I just wanted to share the condition of this MKII diff, as its one of the lowest mileage / cleanest I have ever come across. Even as received it was super clean, thought it was worth showing. I...

    Ford 8.8 IRS swap

    Yeah you could run that type application with the Stage 1 kit. I would recommend using a minimum amount of friction modifier though the way you are using it. If you were driving mainly street I would say run a higher level of friction modifier for better drivability / more comfort. But you are...

    Ford 8.8 IRS swap

    The solid collar can be used on either size pinion, no difference there. I don't have any issues with hookup anymore with the upgrade. The LSD is engaged well enough to cause a slight chatter on cornering, different people have different levels of this they are comfortable with. You can control...

    Ford 8.8 IRS swap

    A few people have done the ford 8.8 rear. If you are a very adept metal worker/fabricator you could definitely do the swap. There is no kit for the MKIII to drop it in, its going to be a lot of work. Ian (IJ) did it way back. I believe he said he would never do it again, just run with the...

    A1Cardone "Rebuilt" Steering Rack - A public service announcement.

    Yeah no suprise here. Don't need to explain much to them though, most see a vehicle as a throw away appliance. They have no interest in fixing let alone understanding the inner workings of a vehicle.
