That would have been Dan. A VERY impressive build/conversion! He was a moderator on here, resigned and created a new account. He only posted a couple times with the new account and I don't think he's been back at all in quite a while.

But you can check that monster out here:

I would love to do something similar with a MR-2, Elise or maybe a boxster of one form or another... a small 2 seater.

i know this is a bit off topic but to quote what i said earlier "whats the deal whith the dampner on the rack and pinion, does it really serve a function or not" i just came back from autocross, i tryed it whith it on and off. whith it off the steering feels more natural (easier to handle) but on the road i felt no diffrence on bumps, but also the dampner i have is compleatly shot and doesent do much of anything but randomly compress and tug the rack and pinion arm. Basickly i like it off but i would like to try whith a new one but im not paying 300$ to try it out

any why is every thing for a mk3's suspension expensive weather its ball joints or bushings its all very expensive.... not somthing i would have expected from toyota, maby lexus

If the damper's shot it's just a weight that's going to make your steering responsiveness more sluggish. On smooth roads you aren't going to notice anything. On bumps which affect both sides.... not much. A big pot hole under one wheel (with it in place) and you're not swinging into a curb though... that's the difference.

I unerstand that. That is its intended purpose but for 300$ i really cant afford to replace it. And in florida pot holes aint as bad as up north, and i hope never to meet the curb in such an occasion

I love my Ron Burgundy interior! F-YA! Well its kind of a pinkish dull-ish purple in many areas now but it screams 80's and matches the faded black ruby pearl paint perfectly.
The list (in op) would be alot longer for many other cars.
I've driven U Hauls with better steering but I always enjoy driving my supra.
