ha my car is not an ice ball that turned into an ice brige

sawin off my muffler today!
gunna see how straight pipe with just a cat sounds :D
may have to drill a hole in my downpipe for the desired turbo diesel sound

So.. GTE guy never got back to me. :( Guess im stuck with the dying GE for now, im running out of time to swap it out.

Anyone ever deal with Summitracing? I want to order the energy bushing sets unless someone has some lying around, my car needs an alignment, maybe this is a good time to lower it a bit too? Nash you still have those struts/springs?

baboon, do you have the trim pieces still?


Renthal, you better get a video of that!

i bought my energy set from george at raptor racing. they are in ontario, contact info is on Supramania in the vendors section.

you could try Chris at $$$$$$$$ for the motor. whoever you buy it from, post how much you paid, I'm entertaining the idea of rebuilding a second motor.

hey do any of you guys know someone sellin a 7mgte for a swap or anything? doesnt matter about the shape as i wont be swappin till summer..but would give me time to clean it all up and stuff...other things that i am interested in buyin are some springs...and i need a burgundy ashtray for my front dash..thanks.

Hey guys, don't know if anybody knew or cares but i am trying to sell my supra curently and not having much luck, if you know anybody looking for a supra, send them my way, its not cheap but its fast :-)

hey wes i think i still have the ashtray that i yanked out of that supra.
give me some time to find it.
i think nashman has most of the stuff for a turbo swap, so talk to him.
you can also always ebay all the stuff for it... there is a detailed parts list on supramania.com and supraforums.com

yes i do still have them don't bother wiht summit just go to lord co

did he beat you


if so we can fix that

i want to mod it in the next few weeks once i start workin again..
u still got that K & N sittin there?
what should i look at doin next..
whats the best bang for the buck and under 500 bucks?
has a full 2.5inch exhaust already.. but it has a cat on there and passes aircare.. maybe slap a test pipe in its place?

test pipe/down pipes!

Maybe an underdrive pulley too.

thanks man that would be wicked..just let me know if you find it and il come pick it up...and yea i have seen the detailed part list for the swap/intructions but figured it would be 10 times easier if i could find all the parts locally and just pick them up..i figure that someone will at least a partial swap just sittin around...but yea ur right..any extra parts i need il just search ebay or check out supraforums...unless someone offers up over 3000 il just keep my car...i love it aha

So, If I were to lighten up my Mk3 and keep it a comfortable daily driver what would I get rid of? So far I can think of: AC crap, Rear wiper assembly, gut the drivers seat.. then again thats only maybe a 75lb loss at the most probably wont even notice it. The only ones I want to do are Aluminum 1pc shaft and something lighter than Sawblades and get rid of the A/C(condenser leaked anyway).

extreme id say:

Sound deadening
Power steering
Rear seats
Radio/speakers
Spare/tools
luggage cover/spare cover board
rear carpet and seats
Aluminum rad

etc etc..

under drive/non damped pullie is big No No the stright 6 has to much hormonicks aka wet noddle crank need's to run dampener or you destroy your bottom end

you can still underdrive the power steering, waterpump alt and a/c? no?

my old 86.5 race car/street car was amonge these line of crazy weight drop got it donw to 2980 with drive car was lowered but look about stock ride hight lol

stuff i removed
all ac stuff
all power streeing (86 to 88 had twitchy streeing never liked it )
heater
all sound deading in the hole car
pulled all the fome and padding off the under side of carpet
alot of missing wireing that was not use any mor e
washer bottle and all the other stuff that goes with it
rear wiper blade
rear antenna
rear seat belts
momo 11 pound seast
removed rear seat's
spare tire and all teh junk back there
cut out the stock spare tire floor out installed aumlin sheet
ditch teh back speakers
aumlim drive shaft ligyht weight fly wheel
lighter wheels
egr stuff
cut some meatl that was in car that i did not need any more triming fat
cusotm light weight front bumper
cut braceing out of stock hood
no hood latch hood pin's font nose panle brakes most removed but eghouhg to keep teh fornt end on
cut some fat off the stock dash bord
and hole crap load of nuts and bolts i did not use any more
and soem other things

all in all i remove about over 600 plus pounds
avge supra is 3400 to 3600 some where around there

but i must say when ripping out so much weight you car handles diffetn some times wores cause the car is so out of blance i had ot fix mine so and add weight in certon area of the car to make it handle better again

this chould be fixed thou wiht nice set of coil overs

yae but there no gain cause the part that shinks is all ways the lower crank pullie not the other ones

amazing what can be done, yeah I could see some issues with weight balance for sure though and maybe weight transfer issues with the rear floor cut out. Now if we were talking track use only all of the stuff you did +

custom aluminum rear subframe, lexan windows, gutted doors, aluminum dash, no passenger seats, carbon hood, starting with a hardtop would help too. I doubt you could dip lower than 2600 though. Thats why I think it would be alot more rewarding to start with a car that's already under 3000 pounds (Mk2) so I dont think id start with an Mk3 in the first place. That and I love the "luxuries" of the mk3. I normally daily drive a piece of shit 83 Toyota pickup, rusted out floors, unbalanced 35's and 4:10's, the lift springs in it are super stiff, shocks are el cheapo ones. Driving the supra is amazing after driving that thing around for a few months.

well the mk2 is a nice car my buddie gutted his the same way i did mine pretty much ectpe a littel bit mroe hard core still glass windows and such

but 2700 pounds

but the mk2 has some faults with it's spention but the best part about the car is were the engine sit's compared to the mk3

but all in all i like the mk3 better because it more stable and speeds and has beter sespention

this is my setup for now



stuff and other stuff

welll..my clutch is starting to slip when i really boot the gas...guess il be takin it easy with the supra for a while...

crazy setup.

auto-x march 8th, might run the Supra, if not il be watching some friends run their DSM's I missed out on the weekend, forgot it was on.

auto x is fun and i miss it choudl take the bimmer out but meh it's an auto and it my none beat to death dd

VW! haha, Id rather auto-x my Volks but its got a blown differential, not sure if il take the Supra out yet.
