Any input on the SP or Driftmotion kits?

Pretty confident. It ONLY smokes on deceleration, not on cold start, even after sitting for several weeks. I replaced all those intake valve seals when I did the head gasket. While it's been 15 years or so, it's probably only been 5000 miles.

So I've been pretty far removed from the Supra community for a while now. I built my car back in the early 2000s, and it's been pretty solid since. Back then, I did all the usual upgrades, MHG, ARP studs, lexus AFM, 550s, new IC, BOV, fuel pump, APEXi S-AFC and AVC-R blah blah blah. Recently...

They really care about the IC kit? Ugh man that state is a mess. Have you contacted HKS directly yet?

Bolted up a new HKS Drager in place of the HKS Sport exhaust and filled it up with 100 octane.

A failed low speed fan setting may be just a blower motor resistor ($30 or so part from the dealer). Don’t assume your control panel is bad just because of that.

Ok, help. I've read and read and still don't know what I want. I like the RPF1s, I think. Anyone know if they'll clear the AZP Wilwood brake kit? Also, I'm on ST springs (1.75" drop if memory serves, illumina II shocks) I'm currently running some old Koenig Villains (17x8 front and 17x9...

Not at all. Anyone who understands how the car really works and mods it the right way rather than hacking stuff together is ok in my book. Hope to come out again this week. Ryan

Looks like theres a weekly get together at Fry's Electronics, Friday nights (tonight!) at 8:30 in the back corner of the parking lot. I'm going to try and make it- found it on the "other" supra forum... Ryan

I just moved to Vegas last fall. Love a chance to meet some folks who know what the mkIII is all about, and not a group of HS Kids who bought a $1000 Supra and think they're the shit... Here's mine:

I'm using the IS studs on my 87T to allow me to run a custom 5mm spacer necessary to clear the AZP Big brake kit. They press right in and work just fine. One word of caution- they're long enough that if you don't use an open ended lugnut, they'll bottom out in the nut before the wheel is...

My 87T

www.wheeladapter.com I had a set custom made with the hub centering ring machined in for my MKIII to clear my AZP Big Brake kit. Use a set of ARP extended wheel studs for a Lexus IS300 and you'll have the setup you need to SAFELY move the wheels out a bit. They'll make the adapter in any...

Also, the stock studs are too short for many aftermarket wheels. Remember, they're designed to be used with a "shouldered" lug nut that protrudes into the lug hole in the stock wheel to get more thread engagement. When used with an aftermarket wheel and an "acorn" style lug nut, only the first...

have you gotten a professional estimate yet? I'd gut the interior and push as much out from the inside as you can, before you slide hammer it. Ryan (in ABQ too..)
