I like spending time in the garage. In fact, that time has been quite well spent creating something awesome and unique. That, and a lot of us like to tinker, me included.
Drove it drunk on a route that I normally get a little tire squeaky on and..
Crashed it trying to be a pro drifter. Broke a tie-rod. Crawled home on the FWY with a max speed of 15mph. Got to my exit an hour later and a Highway Patrol speeds by to a screeching stop. I spend the night in the poky with a dui ticket and had to pay the impound lot the next day.
Driving drunk = stupidest thing I've ever done to myself and my Supra!

WTF is this cloth is better than leather crap???? Real leather is 1000000 times better than cloth.

Yeah it is, until you go sliding around your seat while turning, until it cracks, gets hot in the summer sun and burns the shit out of you. Sorry, leather is total fail.
um no I disagree with the sliding part that is why the seats are ajustable. Mine have never burnt my ass unlike my steering wheel and as far as cracking that is taken care of with leather conditioner. Not to bust balls but isn't your drives side seat ripped? on the right lumbar support?

Yes it is, but that was done by the previous owner. The rest of my interior minus the arm rest is mint.
Ok, I'm gonna take the cake here for the most pathetic entry...
I replaced the armrest in my 88 with one that I pick up from another forum guy for practically nothing. Nice guy. Well, the one I put on as the replacement had that wonderful little black plastic clip that locks the armrest in place when closed, which my original didn't. I was happy.
About a month later I grabbed a can of soda and tossed it in the car, but never drank it, and it ended up in the center console. Then I forgot about it. Another month goes by and we're in the dead of an upstate NY winter, and the damned can explodes. The mess was incredible, but easy to clean, but THE DAMNED PLASTIC CLIPPY THING BROKE!!!
I'm still pissed about that. Do you know how hard it is to find those clippy things?!?!? I still have the top half of that can (turned inside out from the explosion) in my trunk as a reminder not to be stupid around my car.

true that shoulda planned it all out the first time, oh well live and learn...., i had not found this site the first 2 months of owning my car, nor did i know much about the VERY IMPORTANT but THEY said "little things" they being some friends of mine, they were....well...tinkerers, very talented tinkerers at that but they gave me a few suggestions as "cheap power adders" on my car lol, now don't punch me because i have since learned VERY much and smack myself every time i think about this but....kikdurazz;1256800 said:
they suggested to remove the pcv system, i said why they said word for word..."do you know what egr stands for?" i said, "no," they said "EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION, so you want to put your hot ass exhaust directly back into your motor?" and i said, "no" so i replaced the the system with a plug on the tb and filters on the valve covers lol.
Also, they said the honeycomb on the afm was "restrictive" so i proceeded to tear it out with needle nosed pliers as per their instruction lmao:icon_bigg
oh and i was oh so anxious to put my ssq on, i cut a hole in the plastic ic piping and secured the bov with a ring of rtv and two worm clamps! lmao but it still managed to work! I know it was all extremely stupidbut have since enlighted myself and have no need for brash criticism.
yea i have a nice motor we spent prob 250 hours while building it to detail at and make it super pretty so i go to the car shows with no hood on (my girlfriend hates it) well one day i didnt take it off for 3 days because i had 2 car shows back to back and i went to the movies and got rained on it filled the valleys with water and shorted out my spark plug wires then i left it running when i tryed to get the water out with a towel because i was at a gas station and i got shoked and burned by the water then i had to change all my wires and plugs and i ruined 2 of my coil packs talk about a bad day

LMAO I was changing my alternator and forgot to disconnect the battery...
Ended up grounding it and blowing my main fuse (11:00pm) so i had to wait till the next morning to replace the fuse which is a major b1tch on the MkIII...
Also put transmission stop-leak in with the brake fluid when i first got the car... F'd up my Brake master cylinder...

The car's in storage due to the blown motor, but I can head up this weekend and grab the can. I'll get pics saturday or sunday.
forgot to tighten the upper intake pipes to the 3000 pipe... major boost leak:3d_frown:
EDIT: Let my friend tighten the targa on because i was running late for work... he didnt tighten it all the way and one of the bolts slowly came off as i was one the highway. lots of noise and it may have stripped out that part of it. i got it on tight now but im afraid to take it back off.
