SILV 06 Thoughts and some pics *56k*

[ForcedTorque]

Loving the pics Nick..Thanks

Were there not many MKIV's there this year, or did we have a partial photographer. I see a lot of MKII and MKIII's but not a lot of MKIV's. It should be that way as that's how it is everywhere I have ever been.

 

[trucker]

it's the way it was.... parking lot overrun with mk4's

have no intrest in a 13 yr old car that costs half what my house did

i have 2 2's and 2 3's so thats where the bulk of my camera memory was spent

Our 400+hp 1JZ rolled in a short 12 hours after the dyno challenge. He could not get away from work that morning unfortunately.

We went to the dyno shop to see if we could get a dyno sheet even a bit later but it was closed anyway.

Nick M, another person I did not get to meet because I don't know who is who at Vegas. I say we have a SupraMania dinner next year.

in this pic i see a headgasket on the hood of that supra???

maybe it's showing he's had a BHG right of passage? lol..

 

[johnathan1]

Yea, that was his BHG...and nice sig...lol.

 

[Figit090]

hah, thats funny. how'd he stick it up there? i was thinking about framing my POS felpro or at least nailing it up....physical proof of my accomplishment besides the running car in the garage...lol.

and thanks its a perfect car to make into a face. they could almost be made into smilies for SM... lol

Yes, it was a deteriorated headgasket from the looks of it. 7MGE with a few too many heat cycles over the years. That is just what iron block/aluminum heads do.

I have a bunch of pictures that are not up. My web host went out of business, and have not signed up to a new one yet. They were a good host. The site never went down in 4 years, until now.

I know what you mean.

I never said it wasn't.

I know what you mean. I just don't want people making a mistake of thousands for the engine if they aren't trying to run 7500 RPM at the track everyday.

Argh I still have a bum load of pics to load up but here are a few more for now

BTW how do I post these as a thumbnail that you can enlarge by clicking on it?

I don't know why they let this car in lmao :evil2:

 

[jdmk3_87t]

That's a badass pic! Fogs FTW! :bigthumb:

BTW how do I post these as a thumbnail that you can enlarge by clicking on it?

To have a thumbnail, you need to click on the icon of the paperclip. That is attachments. You want to "manage" them. After they are loaded, click on it again, it will show what is loaded, and select what you want posted from there.

I spy my car behind Chris Jensen's ultra clean ride. His was the best overall MA70.

This attitude does not help get all Supras treated fairly. You never know what you are missing. I've had a lot of ideas sparked by looking at the other generations - and even other cars in general.

I am still working on getting the official pictures online. I finally got them off my laptop so I can start sorting them though.

Can we say foglight rewire mod !!!
Great pic btw.

 

[T701jz]

I don't want to think about 07 yet (although I have actually been working on 07 since June).

When will the 1J's step up? Who knows!

Hey Keith,.... 2007! California- home of the 1jz and there are plenty of guys here are getting ready for 2007. This year is all about HP-mods/blings.

[KeithH]

I'll believe it when I see it. Let the official countdown begin. You now have less than a year to get ready to show the world what this "mythical" 1J can do.

 

[OneJoeZee]

I forsee Jawsgear layin the 1J smackdown next year.

 

[T701jz]

2007 will be my last year to "invest"(lol) more money in this car and I'm going all out. :aigo: SILV07...see it to believe it!

That's what they were saying about THIS year. Tis all good though. They are a bunch of great guys.

Noel - You're going to do MORE to that thing? I was impressed back in 2005 and then you come out and blow my doors off in 2006. I may need one of those defribulators for 2007 when your Supra causes my heart to stop beating.

Bling? So all the 1JZ...not so bling cars belonged to somebody else? I hope the rides do get cleaned up.
