    This thread will only help one, fast person, I'd say.

    There were two of these, till I bought one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATI-Super-Damper-Toyota-Supra-7M-GE-GTE-918525-/190699759979?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c6697696b&vxp=mtr And now there is one. Brand new, with a machining blemish on the countersunk holes- swirl...

    To those with Energy suspension front kits- Check this pic:

    Looking down at the front upper A arm, should the bushings be installed with the flange to the inside (A), or towards the outside? (B). I'm leaning towards B, but the instruction from ES don't mention it. Thanks.

    Brake master upgrade?

    I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their master cylinder to a larger one. I remember reading that someone suggested it might be possible to upgrade to a 4 Runner brake master. The reason I ask is that I've swapped to Cobra front brakes, and wasn't sure if I would need a larger master to go...

    Attention Cobra / PBR front brake users: Maybe you can help me...

    I'm looking to do this upgrade, but the calipers I have did not come with the original mounting brackets that hold the caliper. Did anyone have this problem, and if so, where did you source the brackets? I'm not talking about the Doward bracket adapters that fit them to the Supra, but rather the...

    Supra sighting- Panama City, FL -pic.

    Aside from a sandy rear bumper, this black supra looked and sounded sweet. Bomex kit, rear JDM visor and 2.5 JZA badging makes me assume it's been swapped to 1JZ. When I obscured the tag, I screwed up the right side of the bumper- Sorry, owner. :icon_bigg

    Quick question- what's the street-friendliest coilover?

    I'm looking for a set of coilovers, but don't want a "track" spring rate. I'd like good adjustability, but a milder spring, since 99% of the year, this car will be street driven. Thanks.

    Question on JDM front lip-

    Am I correct in thinking that the JDM 89-92 lip came with small brake ducts? And if so, Does anyone know what direction I should look to for sourcing one? PS-! Does anyone have a pic of one? thanks.

    A new, in-the-bag, 1988 Supra turbo MT engine harness... okay, okay...I know it's not the last one- hell, probably a dozen guys right here on the forum have a new one squirreled away on their parts shelves. But it just makes me happier telling myself it's the last one. I didn't...

    Filling gouges in urethane- what to use?

    Hey guys- I have some gouges in my header panel, as a result of sun damage. They look like someone pulled a comb through the top of the urethane, and made some ~1mm scratches in it. I was wondering- can a polyester bodyfiller be used, and would it stick, or do I have to worry about reaction...

    Question about brake master cylinders, 88 vs 92

    Hey guys- I have an '88 with ABS, and I know that the later years call for a different part number. I was just wondering if switching to a '92 would cause any issues for me. Thanks.

    What wastegate do I need?

    Hey guys- I just picked up a T-4 manifold from a guy. He says he bought it a few years ago from NOPI, and it's brand new. Problem is, I'm not sure what size wastegate will bolt to it. The manifold is a HKS log style, like the 'Treadstone' units made now, though I don't know the manufacturer...
