Yeah but our cars are more rarer , older and more of a specialty car than most other imports with cheaper parts.

Valid point Mr.W...., but that doesn't mean I should take it up the poop shoot for parts either. And as far as rarities go if there weren't thousands of them still on the road toyota wouldn't make parts for them to the extent that they do.

Well it all depends on the quality of the parts too. You can by cheaper parts and might actually last you a while but usally cheaper the parts the lower the quality. I know going to auto zone and buying parts is always a pain in the ass because since my cars a supra I have to pay double the price for parts on other domestic or import cars. I guess what im saying is it can be costly to run our cars and definatley costly to do reliable performance upgrades. You can buy ebay parts but they will most likely be made cheaply(sometimes you do get a good deal though).

How about a coil-on-plug setup for a 7MGTE? How about a real cold air for a GTE that sucks from where the fog light is?

Lets see some pictures, because talk is cheap.

hey mr. hack. whats your deal?. THE QUESTION I HAD ASKED EVERYONE IS... DO YOU WANT TO SEE THESE PARTS ON THE MARKET OR NOT. IF IM ONLY TRYING TO GET A DEMANDING CROWD. HOW IS TALK CHEAP. WOULD IT HURT YOUR FEELINGS THAT MUCH TELLING ME YOU ARE ONE OF A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT WANT THESE PARTS AND NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF PARTS OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE PARTS IVE TALKED ABOUT OR NOT?!

So I guess that means no coil-on-plug setup?

Is there any particular reason your site doesn't work??

im sorry dudes. honestly. ive been buildin cars my whole life .its my carreer, my family, and my hope. ive owned my mkiii now for 4 years, wrecked it twice, and rebuilt it both times. (totals) and along the way still found some way to make time to research, take numbers and draw bluprints to the entire car. i want to bring this car back to life. give it a name that it deserves. you know what i mean? ive been trying now to get these ideas together and start manufacturing all that stuff you guys cant find. see i have the resources to do this, and all of you can benifit, right? but all ive gotten in the past few months is crap. i dont understand it. but anyways, do you have ideas?....

thanx mr. w. im glad someone appretiates what im trying to do. your 400 dollar "carbon" hood is actually fiberglass with a layer of c/f on top built by vis. and once again, mine is top of the line stuff. PRFORMANCE UPGRADES not for the common "iwant to look fast" cars. im trying to bring our dying breed of cars back to life AND back with a vengance to kill off whats left of these premade performance cars. of the some like wrx, fairlady's, and rx8.
