They fit really good in the wheel well, if you have lowering springs.

Went to get some Shawarma at Phonecia with my friend Cole earlier and when we were down the street from it the clutch slave on the JDM poopra started leaking and eventually had no clutch. Luckily Cole has AAA and they towed my car all the way home to the north side for free and the guy's reaction was fucking priceless and Cole called it before he showed up. The guy opened the passenger door thinking it was the driver side and for a good minute or two he finally literally freaked out for a second and said what the fuck where is the steering wheel? in a redneck country accent it was fucking hilarious. That tow truck driver was cool as shit too. Luckily it's an easy repair and I am already ordering a new OEM clutch master and slave cylinder and use the time to do some other work on the car while I drive the white devil. I missed the white devil I forgot how hard it throws you back into the seat.

Mm, I don't think so. I orginally wanted to but love that I can see into the car (The MK3 cabin is very good looking, especially from outside looking in from the rear hatch - seeing the back of the seats seats, shifter, climate control, dash, and rearview mirror, etc..). It's like looking at the inner workings of a finely crafted wristwatch.

I don't think I'd ever want to cover that up!

Well that's a fair enough argument to me! I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that.

This is what I call Mk3 poetry hahaha. I don't think I've ever heard anyone justify not tinting a car like that but it definitely makes sense.

Yeah! It's especially cool when the interior is lit up and you can see it from the outside at night!

I think this ad for the Supra helps to sell how good-looking the interior is. Well, for me at least:

Didn't do much after putting the engine back in. But here's a sneak peek. I'll make a build thread after getting it running again. And I'll be sure to post up the upgrades and mods.

This was before. My engine bay cleaning was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson baby wipes and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers LoL. But it worked.

Don't mind the burgundy header panel support. That was my 89+ to Pre-89 front end conversion [emoji6]

6 hour of clay bar action for the crown royal saloon.
Probably another 3 hours for wax and windows.


Supra love next week. 1 toyota at a time.

Take that crank pulley off. You need the damping characteristics of the stock pulley, or better yet, an ATI.

For me, I just ordered a set of Tein Flex coilovers, with rubber upper shock mounts. If anyone is looking for coilovers, DM has a really good deal on flexes. $1050 or something like that. Regular price is over $1300

Why is everyone saying this? This motor has been rebuilt from the crank up and it weighs a ton! How is 7 1/2 lbs going to make a difference in the balance of the motor?

It's not so much the weight, but the fact that it's rubber. It absorbs the vibrations essentially. There's a real street video that explains it.

I threw my aluminum pully in a drawer, since it did not have a steel sleeve for the woodruf key. I've heard horror stories regarding failures
