anyone have sideskirt moldings the short on the bottom of the fenders? color doesn't matter its for my co worker's 90 he's getting it painted. also i'm looking for some 89+ tails im willing to trade my 87's if anyone is interested
I'll probably snag a set of 89+ tails next time I'm at the junk yard. They're almost guaranteed to have some
supras should have an I6T imo...buy to each his own...if you want to ditch the 7m the 2j is the only other option. If you want a v8 I beleive Chevy made a corvette in the 80's/90's
you know it I was drunk when I wrote that but I still think it is true. I just am not a fan of v8's.

I'm not a fan of shitty weight distribution. I am a fan of a sick power band, faster spooling turbos, an aluminum block, and lots of torque.
I used to agree but lately I don't really care. I want to keep in the yota family at least.
Plus I'd hate to give the MKIV owners a pat on the back by acknowledging the 2JZ is an awesome motor by swapping it into my MK3.

I still agree with you, if its not inline its out of line
7M FTW

id buy a set if someone had some but i put the offer up for a trade just because
I actually got super lucky when I bought my 89+ tails. This dude who owned a shop had a IMMACULATE mk3 that someone hit and he parted it out. I got his tails and I'm telling you they looked perfect:
His car was a black targa 5 speed turbo with TAN interior!

Well I know the mk4 has a 53/47 F/R weight distribution so that sounds like excellent weight distribution to me. I am sure the mk3 is not too far off of this number as the layout really didn't change and the mk3 is just a junior mk4.
And not choosing the 2jz because of some mk4 owners is stupid. I never understood the animosity between the two owners groups either. The situation is pretty cut and dry. Both the mk3 and mk4 are awesome, but mk4>mk3 as a performance vehicle in all categories. Anybody who argues against that IS delusional. Also the 2j>7m, but that doesn't mean the 7m sucks. I hope to add a mk4 to my stable this year or next and I still plan to keep the mk3 to play with my 7m too. I think both models are excellent examples of Toyota's finest automobile.
And yea that video of the 1UZ car is fine but it just is not my style. One reason I am drawn to the supra because of its engine/drivetrain, not so that i can put something else in it. And the complexity of a Twin Turbo 1UZ and building the motor for boost is just not worth it imo. For myself I would just build the 7m or 2j for a medium single (gt35R/gt4088R) and call it a day.

Again, my main reason for doing it balance. I have a ton of carbon fiber, a cf hatch that will get lexan, a stripped car ( most of which is in the middle / back and some front ), and I want the balance. Stock the MK3 is 52/48 I believe but when my car is all done my goal is to make it perfect 50/50 with the 1uz, cage, cf lexan hatch, ect ect. The car will never be balanced right if I stick with non-aluminum blocks. The engine just makes perfect sense for my car and it's one bad ass engine. Is it more of a challenge then building up a GT35R/40R 2JZ? Yeah, but I like to be different. Just look at all the parts I've collected over the years and you'll see I'm aiming for a one of a kind stand out MK3.
Also, I've been looking at prices of doing all of the swap and other things and really it's not much more then a good 2JZ build ( what I consider good ), and considering it has 2 cyl more that's pretty surprising. I mean, the starting price of the motor alone saves me hella $$$. The swap is also becoming more popular and there is a member on here who is already selling a complete swap kit.
The guy in the video had a NA probably pretty close to stock 1UZ I can imagine a nice TT sounds MUCH better. I've seen dynos of these things with shitty turbo setups doing 480rwhp and 600rwtq at 4300 RPM's... let's see a 2JZ pull that off.
I have no doubts the MKIV is a great car. Never doubted that. I also have no doubts the MK3 is a great car. I do prefer the MK3 any day of the week though... styling is too good
.
The 1uz supra in the vid, funny to say is a buddy of mine in Michigan. I actually sounds much better in person than on the vid. And it looks more impressive in person too. It would not be a bad swap, I have even considered it, however I will be going 2jz-gte some day.
