    10.5 inch wide wheels on MA70?

    Truth. For what it's worth, with around 350rwhp, possibly a bit more, I could easily break my 275/40/r17 Falken Azenis RT-615's loose and leave some nice black patches. Cornering ability/lateral grip= wide tires. Straight line traction= sidewall flex/taller profile. In a nutshell, anyway...

    who will make a vid like that for supra community?

    Yessir, though not a total repost. I posted a vid in the Other Cars forum (where this is about to get moved to), and this video had a lot of the other one in it, as can be seen here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86278 Thread moved, title fixed.

    OBX helical LSD?

    Um, no. Pretty much ALL OBX products for our cars suck. I wouldn't be caught dead with that crap on my car. It's NOT the same stuff. Not at all. :nono: I'm with this guy.

    Post Pics of MKIII's with MKIV TT Rims

    Some do, some don't from what I hear. I never had stock suspension with the MKIV TT's. Pretty easy. Follow Keith's directions. :) And in addition to the plastic caps, put a dab of grease on there, too.

    Towing a MKIII

    I just towed a Supra chassis (everything but the motor) a bit over 2 hours at 70mph in a '94 Ford F350. The Supra was strapped securely to my tow dolly. No issues at all, no fishtailing, nothing. That truck rides like a rock, though. :(

    Not really new but...

    Welcome to SM. :) Check out the build section here, there are lots of people pushing for that kind of power. Their modification lists will give you an idea of what you need to do. :)

    Are 86.5-88 and 89-92 hood shocks interchangable?

    I don't remember, LOL. It's been so long. I'm fairly certain that there are bolt heads on there that are connected to the shock. Unbolt them. I'd link you to the EPC, but I'm at work, and cygnus is blocked. :(

    MHG mounting surface

    The closer to a glass-like finish, the better.

    Are 86.5-88 and 89-92 hood shocks interchangable?

    When I bought aftermarket pieces from the parts store, I got the ones that pivot on the ball. They're better, in my opinion, as they're easier to remove so you can tie the hood at 90*. Makes working in the back of the engine bay much easier. ;)

    Questions on differences between 7M-GTE and 7M-GE.

    If you search that question, you'll find lots of locked threads with the exact same answer. It's not worth the effort, and it only shifts the powerband. You'll choke the motor up top. GTE's have GTE cams for a reason. ;)

    injectors or sensor problem?

    Headgasket thickness is supposed to be calculated by how much material is removed from the head/block. And did you check your codes yet?

    LOL, I wasn't at all implying that your diff is blown! I was simply stating that it's possible to slide a non-LSD car. :)

    This has been discussed a million times, but here's a good link: http://www.4cefed.com/ - look under turbo conversion. And same for you, but here's a good link for N/A->T conversions: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34560

    me at the autocross

    I know the difference between LSD and an open diff. I'm just saying that some people can slide an open diff. It's just not easy, that's all. ;)

    Sometimes... :nono: But it's those other times that make it worth it.
