My bud went to the Toronto autoshow this week and snapped 3 shots of 2 different mk3 supras that attended! I was tickled pink to hear that such an old car was still cool enough to be shown on the floor. I was just curious as to the possibility of someone here owning either car. The engine shot is one car, and the other 2 are a different one, both at the show, indoors ofcourse :biglaugh: .

They dont hang here much, but those car belong to Toronto Supra Club members. If you know them, the metallic maroon MK3 belongs to Ziggy, and the red beast is Rupinder's. The pics do not do justice to the paint on Ziggy's car.

We work the show every year, and have been a fixture of it the last 4 years. Aparently you missed last year when we were able to get all but a MK1 in, but not for lack of trying. I'll be working the booth over this weekend as well.

How can you not have a strut tower bar on a show car? That's easy bling. Plus it handles better and its cheap!
cause it just doesnt make any sense. the supra front is strong enough. it would be at the read where you would need it the most.

We don't have much of any flex in the front, you won't notice any change really. The rear is another story.

I used to have a FSTB and ended up not using it after awhile since it was a pain to do any work having to unbolt it all the time to work around it. There was no gains when driving with it. Triangulate it with the firewall and that is another story...

P.s. they arent "show cars", they are street cars. I they both "occasionally" get driven on nice days.

P.p.s. I am surprised Rupinder has not switched to a FFIM yet.

TRI-again..:icon_razz the firewall is only sheetmetal, not much support at all unless you tie it into some real structural support points.

You are right it is sheet metal, so is your frame rails, so are you strut towers, so are your a/b-pillars....

If it was flat sheet metal then I see your point, but it has been stamped/formed to give it rigidity. It is alot stronger than it looks. It isn't all wavy just for looks. That VASTLY increases the strength of it.

Is it me, or is the MKIII just a much sexier, beefier, meaner looking car than the MKIV? I'll take a clean MKIII anyday over an MKIV..
