ROTM August has been brought to you by:
JSC Speed specializes in import turbo performance. Opening its doors in 2001, JSC Speed has specialized in the MK3 Supra since the beginning and continues to do so, both distributing and retailing quality performance brands.
This Months Prize is a Beautiful set of Stainless steel braided brake lines. Cause we all know how much we need that stopping power....:biglaugh:
Stainless steel brake lines are a great way to improve the performance and safety of your MK3 Supra. Essentially, the stainess steel design resists the balooning associated with OEM rubber lines and are more resistant to puncturing and collapsing.
Upgrading to stainless steel lines will improve pedal feel and make braking more responsive and firm. We reccomend using Motul RBF600 brake fluid in conjunction with the stainless lines.

It was an extremely close race this month almost ending in a tie. Which would have been a first for our ROTM. Ultimately Ryan one out by 1 vote. We all believe that Ryan’s Car is a great example of a Naturally Aspirated Supra that has been brought back to life with allot of hard work, persistence and dedication. You will see for your self that this is a shining example.
Enough of my blathering on, here is Ryan's Entry
A Few Words From Ryan:
Fist of all I would like to thank the admins!!! I was up against some tough competition this month and the fact you chose my car out of the group is truely an honor.

Additional Info:
I saved this car from the wrecking yard about 3 years ago. I love the MK3 and always wanted one. I had a mk2 in college and hated myself after I sold it, so when I found this car I jumped on it. The car was in very poor shape when I got it. It was hailed out, not running (bhg), wrecked in the front and the interior had mice living in it (FOR REAL). The only positive reason to buy it was that it was a California car with no rust anywhere. It came to ND because previous owner was in the Airforce. This car was built from ebay!!! Used hood, fenders, passenger side headlight, passenger door, targa, spoiler, door panels, leather trim, ect. I found the cloth seats, carpet, visors, at a wrecking yard in MN. The front lip, and seatbelt guides on sm. It took me 1 year to put together. I did all of the work myself including paint, bodywork ect. I learned as I went and loved every hour I spent on the car. The car is now a great example of a Stock NA. I do have many plans for it but I wanted a complete car before I started with anything else. When I decide to do a build everything will be done at once. But for now I am completely happy with a stock NA Targa. The Supra is my summer toy. It kills me when I have to put it away every year for six long months.
A Brief from Ryan on his ROTM Entry:
I think I have summed it all up above. I don’t deserve ROTM any more than anyone else. I love SM and have found it to be like my mothership. I enjoy helping others and really enjoy the members. If you are looking for a car that was saved, an owner that loves these cars, and a car that is very proud to be NA and stock than choose my car. Thank you so much for the NA ROTM special olimpics. I look forward to seeing who comes out on top.
I hope everyone has a Chance to Congratulate Ryan on his great effort with his car.
