    Played with a Boxster S

    Yeah, but we never really pulled for more than a single gear or two. If we actually raced I probably would have beat him, assuming I didn't hit fuel cut...

    Played with a Boxster S

    So I just changed my oil on Wednesday and decided to take Leyla out for a spin. I took off the top and got some gas then went about aimlessly in Beaverton. First I followed a black WRX. The guy didn't seem to really want to play so I turned off. As soon as I turned a black Porsche Boxster...

    Did you know inlines 6 engines weren't for perfomance?

    It depends on the year, I believe, for what was standard and what was an option. Eventually the wing was standard on both the turbo and NA. I believe it became an option for the NAs in 1995, and standard in 1998.

    Drove an EOS today

    So I went out car shopping with my dad. First we stopped at the BMW dealership. My dad is a big BMW fan and has owned two BMW convertibles in the past. We wanted to test drive a 335i with the new retractable hardtop. Unfortunately they didn't have any in yet, but the salesman was really nice...

    Looking for Supra experts

    Thanks Pete, I'll send you a PM once I finish this post. Thanks. There's still tons of formatting an organizing work that needs to be done before I'll be comfortable letting everyone start adding articles. And there will always be editing to do. I'll send you a PM. Thanks Duane. :)...

    Looking for Supra experts

    If someone is an expert in a particular field I would consider that a reliable source. If there are relevant documents, books, etc. those can be good sources. What makes a wiki work is lots of people willing to contribute content. If all that data were consolidated in a wiki it'd be much...

    I want this wiki to be based on reliable sources, not hearsay or testimonials. All sources should be properly cited if applicable. :(

    Thanks for the link! That's a valid concern. I'd like to think this could be a supplement to the forums. It's certainly different. With forums I've found it hard to locate old posts which have information I'm looking for. I think if whenever there is an insightful post that the...

    Looking for Supra experts

    There are plenty of posts on here with misinformation. With a wiki the information on a particular subject can be refined over time with moderators to keep misinformation from becoming permanent. No, it isn't perfect. Yes, it will take a lot of work, which is why I'm asking for help.

    Looking for Supra experts

    This is why I want a few people to help get it well structured and give it a test run before having everyone go at it right from the beginning. Can you explain more what you mean with two schools of thought? Do you mean on particular document on the wiki. The wiki software allows for...

    Do you have a link? I'd like to take a look at how it's organized.

    Hehe :icon_razz Thanks CryoSlash. Yeah, that's a lot of the kind of information I want. The trick is that I'd either need the original authors to post it to the wiki or at least get their permission. Also, I'm planning on having the wiki span all years of Supras, 1979-1998.
