    Is fuel cut dangerous?

    sorry, I read "universal" as meaning all the same. Not as in universal as in you can use any boost controller on any car. (edited my post above...)

    ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

    The hatch would be cool (I believe they are identical 89+ and pre89), not sure about the doors due to expense although it would be a nice touch if there is no structural weakening. My biggest "wants" in the CF area would be: - Windshield valance (below the windshield.. OEM rusts) -...

    Is fuel cut dangerous?

    edited because I misunderstood the meaning of "universal". Most people hit the FCO after shimming the wastegate, you dont need to swap out to a better turbo (ie.. 60-1 or 57 trim) to hit it. It happens faster at higher altitudes as I understand. I had this on a 87 MK3 and it was very annoying...

    so... in light of one of my previous threads... I just wanted to say

    Glad I wasn't in the passenger seat of that wreck.. the seat looks like it woulda pinched my butt a bit.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    anytime I see 5x114, I assume they just left off the .3 Dont think there is any other pattern that comes close.. (could be wrong, but haven't seen any)

    if that last statement is true.. how often have you been in jail? Gotta remember, some people driving stupid aren't doing it on purpose... (I know.. thats a really open sentence... but.. you get the idea)

    600hp 1JZ supra vs 600hp Gt500 vs 650hp C6 z06

    well, I have never "boosted" in 5th, but I have had a couple pounds of boost come on while driving through the mountains. Generally just an extra push up steep inclines. Never considered that it might be putting adverse strain on the engine, and dont really know of a way to shut it off. In a...

    600hp 1JZ supra vs 600hp Gt500 vs 650hp C6 z06

    Someone want to agree or expand on this statement about not boosting in 5th gear on a R154? Its a 5 speed transmission (manual) so I have never considered it an "overdrive"...

    Weatherstrippings, Mouldings, Various Exterior Interior Questions

    Yep.. shoddy communications while here, but the trim was very nice. I got the vented head light covers from them as well, took about 3 months, but I did get all my product.

    MK3 Supra vs Dodge SRT4

    Watch the vid with sound off... I didnt even think the SRT was accelerating : )

    so... in light of one of my previous threads... I just wanted to say

    more HP and speed = more experience and talent needed. Sadly (and this is very evident with crotch rocket deaths in the city I live in), that is not translated well in the brain. Speed kills, plain and simple. However... like I said above.. very few of us can resist the odd pull on a nice...

    so... in light of one of my previous threads... I just wanted to say

    Are you saying that we own a fast car and never race it? That would be a small percentage I would think. Has nothing to do with testes... but most with cars sporting 600+ rwhp are on a track. Those of us with 350-500 rwhp MK3's probably all go WOT on a road at one time or another just for the...

    On ebay: Custom 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa Show Car

    I see a hella-fugly paint combo that belongs in a comic book... and the parts? Looks like someone in a high school body shop who watched Grease and thought... "hmm.. wonder what I can do to this car" However... parts-wise.. if its actually done right, thats pretty damn cheap. It looks like it...

    Weatherstrippings, Mouldings, Various Exterior Interior Questions

    Generally speaking, I love the shadow grey or the Recarro seats in a mk3, however.. rarity prevents me from wanting it. Everything else sounds good. You can get the full moulding in CF or FG from the web (I did FG - painted)...

    7MGTE (88 Supra) small questions

    Good, thank you for confirming it was okay because I was looking at it and thought that it wasn't really necessary. Removing it makes a very nice routing underneath. Fairly certain the HKS 3" DP has no flex either (which was my originaly route, although I believe the Raptor DDP is a lot better...
