As I have told people local to me, you got to come to my place to see the white MKIV. Out of respect to the guy I bought it from , I am not posting any picture till his divorce is finalized. I hate to be the one announcing that the guy is on divorce proceedings if I post his car on the forums. Some forum members on SF knows the car I was told.

I lost your number, pm me your number and I will send a picture message of it.

eff me That is some supra love... I would love to see that red Mk with a Ridox kit and work wheels

thank you sir....

The best MKIVs for me are stock looking. The only body kit I will put on a MKIV is the TRD widebody kit if ever I have to put one. All my four running MKIVs plus this red supra shell are all stock bodied except that two have front lips.....simple but elegant for me.

Though of course looks are subjective , each one has their own preference. What is important is it makes one happy .

a ton of heat comes out from my shifter... any idea of reducing it?

its pretty annoying in the heat. i can feel it flow into the cabin right on my face.

Are you sure it's not heat coming from your heater core / vents , since you feel it on your face ? Make sure that there are no openings from the underside / transmssion to the shifter or openings from the engine bay through your firewall .

You got picture of my new white MKIV right ? I had the chance to open it up in a really empty 4 lanes road this past weekend going to my place in the South. It is fast becoming my favourite MKIV . That PT-6870 on a 3.4 liter high compression makes the car so responsive through in and out traffic or open roads.

Seriously thinking of selling my red mamba SC and keep all the 5 MKIVs. I will just keep one fully built auto and one fully built 6 speed SC .

im pretty sure it's coming from the shifter area... i can feel it come up from there during the hot days. i also thought it was coming from the vent but when there's no air flow from there when i turn the AC off. Also....... my AC went out. I believe i need some R12.

yeah i got the picture... man you reallllllly need to take me for a spin in that one. the red SC you just finished the swap with? i want that motor!!!!!!!

Yeah the SC I just finished. But it has to be the whole car to go if I decide to keep all my 5 MKIVs . The car is a perfect 2jzgte daily driver now so I am not tearing it apart .. no way. With the MKIVs getting harder to find and prices going higher as time pass, it just make more sense to play with them than SC. So when I am done playing , I still get back my money or even make some. Two built SCs , one 6speed and one Auto would be good enough as part of my toys.

i'd be extremely happy with a DD like that. Just in manual hahah

that's pretty much my goal right now. except i want at least 600hp.

Man... seldom see you around. Looks like you have been busy. Have you started the single conversion ?

You know I am just another guy next door like you guys. Just trying to be smart with my toys.. hahaha

so my rear wheel bearing is going out.. i've been thinking about selling my SC actually.

with work and gym i am just super lazy when it comes to working on cars... i just dont have the time anymore.

thinking about picking up a nice stock daily driver that's decently quick has been on my mind recently.

gerrb

I guess you have that swirling noise at the back that goes faster or slower depending on the speed ?

and what daily driver do you have in mind ?

irondonkey

its a clicking sound... as the wheel rotates it clicks. it's actually on and off. sometimes i dont hear it at all. i have no idea what it could be. i need to fix that, and the front lower control arms. my bushings are shot.

im just bored of a slow car right now lol. it looks good but just isn't fast enough.

i dont have a specific DD in mind... i'd like something v8 powered and a manual though lol. maybe the E90-92 m3.

^^^ damn , if you have the money to spend on an M3 E90... you have a lot better choices than that car that will be cheaper to maintain if it is a daily driver.
