Thanks for the info. I have already purchased generic ducting http://www.pitstopusa.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=1262 and will have them adapted to the dust covers, in the near future. There is a HPDE sched for the 14th of March I've signed-up/paid for to give me incentive to get this...

Count me in. How do you want us to RSVP, through PMs or in the thread? Van

My intention is to take the stock '87 turbo hardtop and lighten it up, upgrade the suspension and brakes to improve handling and safety on a road course. At the same time, I don't want to make this car require the use of a kidney belt to drive it on the street. I also don't intend to change the...

Who here has used these on a road course, what was your set-up and what was the result on the track? Thanks, Van Link: http://www.rs-r.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=73

I bought a Spectre brand cold air intake through Auto Zone, an HKS velocity tube that attaches to the Lex MAF coupled with silicone rubber hose and attached them with stainless clamps. Attached those through the snorkle opening for the stock air box, and attached my favorite air cleaner behind...

I chocked the front wheels and jacked up the rear end, used tall jack stands, on the rear chasis jack points, got enough height to remove the sub frame and sub assembly. Tip: I placed a two foot by two foot 3/4 inch plywood plate on the jack and that helped stabilize the entire sub assembly...

Thanks for all the info. I ordered ducting and tubing from Pit Stop USA, and it will be here in a week. I'll take pics of the new set up. I've been looking at several different set ups and some use a rotor cap and others aim the duct at the hub. I'm planning to have a local speed shop, one...

The following is what I'm looking to do w/my fog lights...http://www.turbosupras.com/images/Group%20A/Group%20A%20Exterior%201.jpg Van

Hi, I looked behind the fog lights on my car, and it is interesting though that the fog light sits in a metal bracket, which looks like a duct. I'll apply a three inch flex tubing to it, to see if that will seal around the gaps. I race this baby of mine on PIR road course near my home...

I've been serching online for a kit for our cars, and the closest in size is one made for a BMW E30/36; http://www.caauto.reflex-hosting.net/show_big-cGF0aD1lbmxhcmdlbWVudHMmcGljPTEyNjU0M19sZ1sxXS5wanBlZw==.html . Not ideal fit though. Is there a MKIII kit I can purchase from a vendor on this...

87 Supra was used all week to go to and from work. Started out in second gear and rarely got the tach over 1500 RPMs when shifting into third, that allowed me to drive up hills from a stop on combined ice and snow. I was driving well below the speed limit. I'm riding on Kumho 711s, 225 f and...

I'm subscribed to this thread. Have you tried contacting BIC Performance through our vendor section? IMO his work is top notch and a good value! Van

Occasional track weekends four times a year at PIR; fun car to drive at the limits. Usually a DD. Van

I've noticed the numbers of MA70s around Portland, and the I5 corridor really take-off the past year. It has been nice to see the interest in this platform increase again. When I bought this car in 1992 in So Cal, it was a popular car. I'd see a few on the road most days. As time went on, I...

I purchased a rear sub-frame from Matt, "Highnitro". Thanks for the replys. Van

Thanks to all who replied. I never knew sequential manual transmissions (SMT) existed. Learning something new everyday... I see from my research that Holinger, Toyota and others make SMT which work on similar principles. Not missing a shift is great, as is consistent shifting. Does anybody...

Below is the link to this crazy fast racer. :aigo: How on earth is that transmission able to shift so quickly. Can we get our R154 to shift that quickly? If it's possible, I'd have more speed and control at the edge. Van http://www.supercarchallenge.nl/video/Assen-bmwSTW.wmv

Beech Performance Motorsport quick shifter: I'm better shifting with it now (much quicker). Dispite my attempts to quiet the shifter, it still has a rattle in second gear... I haven't been able to isolate the cause of the vibrations. More effort is needed to shift from one gear to the next on...

Pics of the rear sub-frame, please. Thanks, Van

My MKIII's rear sub-frame is toast! :nono: I need to buy another sub-frame, one without rust and not cracked. I live in Portland, OR. I can p/u if w/i 100 miles. I'd rather send my bucks to a fellow forum member then a wrecking yard. The traction arm rubber bushings are dry, cracked and have...
