    pre 89 lip

    Is there a major difference between pre 89 and post 89 lip? I never noticed. Not interchangable?

    Mines straight. Got it off of a (previously) mint rear-ended Supra n/a.

    2 different topics in one thread??

    Yeah....I'd say that puts him right up there with a serial killer.

    Confusing clunk under back seat?

    Yeah, I'd say carrier bearing is the most likely suspect. Jack up the car (use jackstands), get under it and grab the drive-shaft near the carrier bearing and see if there is any play, if there is much, than your carrier bearing is shot. Pretty common for these things to wear out.

    JDM motor install question

    If you're going to buy a JDM motor the key thing is buying from somebody reputable. If you go through ebay make sure they have alot of sales, and near 100% rating. I would have to agree about changing the headgasket even if it passes a leak-down test with flying colors. The reasoning is...

    What in the heck is this growing in my head?

    Here's a thought: You may not be able to sue them, since you are not the one that paid for the head rebuild and the "metal head gasket", but i'm you have a Burea of Automobile Repair like in California (or the equivilant in your state). So yeah, you may not be able to sue them, but I'm...

    sqeak in the front of the car

    When you turn the wheels it changes the angle the weight is loaded onto the controll arm bushings. which could result in a squeek only at certain steering angles. So I believe it could be a bushing that may not be totally gone yet and only shows the wear (in the form of a squeek) at or near...

    hg questions

    That's exactly right, and for me it is an upgrade, not only on the street, but at the strip. After installing na cams my 60' times improved significantly and the car feels more responsive on the street. The 7m seems alot more comfortable and willing at mid range rpm's, so the na cams seem...

    Looks like we may have our S2 source now...

    I think the bling value would be more important than weight to most Supra owners (don't flame me, just my honest opinion). I am in love with those inner door panels...so awesome!

    Headlights Dim, Highbeams dont work

    Take a look at this page, and the following 4 or 5 pages. Also pay particular attention to the condition of the wires themselves. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=148

    No new Supra?

    And Budweiser sells more beer than anyone else #1...so fucking what? It's piss water. As for this thread being pointless.this a site about Supras, and as such it's worth mentioning whether or not a new Supra will, or will not exist (don't think I need to explain that one to anyone). No...

    Supra makes wierd rattling noise after 3000 rpm on every gear HELP!

    Well, first I'd make sure that it is a rod knock (supracentral has a thread somewhere on how to detect rod knock). If it is rod knock than you'll have to look at the rod journals and make a decision on the damage. In short if your rod journals are damaged than new rod bearings aren't going...
