    I had driven the blue 88 to Vegas a few times for SIV. In 2019 it was the best trip. I actually made a publicity photo while driving down the strip with a ton of other supras. Also, the drive home was spectacular. It was such a good memory so the fate of this car has left me a little...

    I've got to add a sad update to this thread. Couple of years ago I had my 88 Supra swapped to a manual. Well, I hated it and put the auto back in. While doing so I bought a new Toyota center bearing for the driveshaft and had a shop install it and balance the shaft as well as put new u-joints...

    A little update. I just said fuck it and bought a rebuilt diff from Piratetip. It should be here tomorrow. I also put a new center bearing on my two piece driveshaft and had it professionally balanced and I will be re-installing that with the new diff and removing the one piece drive shaft. I...

    Well last year I was not able to drive the Supra to Vegas due to multiple issues, which all of those that existed then have been taken care of. This year I swore I would have it ready for this years Supras in Vegas but since I leave tomorrow and there's still a problem, it looks like I'll be...

    Any Recommendations for a Rack & Pinion?

    Did the steering damper come with the new rack? I'd like to find one if the dampers are available without having to buy a whole rack n pinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh I cannot say a big enough FUCK YOU to Photobucket. They want $399/year for third party hosting. Hell no.

    Any Recommendations for a Rack & Pinion?
