So the clip should be here pretty soon (swapping to a '88) and I was wondering what upgrades are good for starters? I have 4 drilled/slotted rotors waiting to be put on (mine are warped), planning on getting some tein flex + edfc controller. I have read that a good and somewhat cheap...

Is the rear subframe (or cross member i think?) in an n/a mk3 different (weaker) than the subframe in a turbo supra? I believe I heard someone saying this and that when you swap a 7mgte or 1jzgte into a na car, it's good to swap out rear subframe to a stronger one (from a turbo) due to the...

So I see an aluminum or carbonfiber driveshaft will improve throttle response. Is it worth it to get one? Also, what other components come in lighter counterparts that will give noticeable throttle response gains? Thanks!

Well, for the past few months, I've been forced to carry a bottle of coolant in my car due to the fact that it hits the low mark about once or twice every month. A week or so ago, I had just come back from driving for a little bit and popped my hood in my driveway to check my oil (i also keep a...

I have found a really nice japanese supra (you know, with the 1j ;)) that has been imported to canada. The guy that has it in canada is selling it. Is it legal for a japanese (right hand drive) car to be registered and driven in america (tennessee in particular).

Whats a good diameter piping for a stock or bpu 1jz? Also, I've been looking at the blitz nur spec and aeroturbine (from hpf) mufflers. How do these sound? I dont want to sound like a loud rice burner... -_- thx

I heard on another forum that 1jzgte's will not pass emissions here. Is this true? Also, if I take a car that was originally a non-turbo to the emissions, will they see the engine code on the 1jz and then get the insurance company to charge me twin-turbo insurance rates?? And yes, I did...

Ok, so I'm getting something to replace the nasty sawblades I have and I've finally narrowed it down to 2 sets of rims. Theyre both yokohama advans. One's 3 spoke and the other is 5. They will be going on a black '88 and I'll be getting 18x8front and 18x9rear. Vote for the one you think will...

So I was originally planning on doing gt->gte swap but I just found out theres a place nearby that sells 1jz clips. So I might go for that. I dont know much about the 1jz..Is it better for horsepower than the 7mgte? What kind of mpg does it get (I'm guessing/hoping better than the 7mgte since...

I'm really close to choosing a wheel/tire combo to buy for my supra and I'm not quite sure how wide I should go in the rear. I'm thinking 9.5" with 265s but I dunno... So post pics of your cars from the rear so I can see the rear wheel width and tell how wide your wheels and tires are. Thanks!

What do you guys think about these wheels on a black '88 supra? http://wheelwarehouse.com/image/advan/SAR-V2.jpg I'm thinking either bottom left or bottom right for it if I do decide to get these. Also; 18x8 in front, 18x9 in rear or 18x8.5 in front, 18x9.5 in rear? with the first...

Anyone know how much these rims weigh in the 18x7.5 version? Does wheel weight, diameter, or width have much to do with acceleration/handling? Thanks.

So I'm an auto newbie and I just ordered some new rotora rotors for my '88 (to replace my warped stock ones). Just wondering if I should just take it to a shop or if its worth doing myself. Whats the median price to replace all 4 brake rotors on a supra so I know if the mechanics are ripping...

Have you guys seen the jasper engine rebuilding process? Heres a vid of it: http://jasperengines.com/flv-streams/gaseng-reman.html They have a nice rebuilt 7m-gte for $3500 with a 75k mile warranty. You guys think its worth it seeing how nice their rebuild process is rather than spending...

So I think I've chosen an exhaust upgrade from the stock pos. Right now I have an na '88 but I plan on going turbo in the future. I've chosen the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust system as seen here: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/sale/HKS/Exhaust/Exhaust_Systems/part/Silent_Hi-Power Such a...

A guy said that a bypass valve eliminates the risk of hydrolock in an engine due to water intake into the cylinders. What exactly is a bypass valve and how does it work? Thanks!

How are these rotors? http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/Rotora/Brakes/Brake_Rotors/part/Front_Drilled_and_Slotted I'm about to order them so someone stop me if you think I shouldnt Also, I was wondering if I should get some new calipers. I have a 1988 and cant...

Whats the maximum wheel size and width I can fit safely on a stock '88 supra without fender rolling? Biggest I can see is about 18"x7.5" w/ 35mm offset. Which is a little narrow for my liking :/ Also, does tiresize really affect performance or handling?

So as far as I can tell, the only difference between the tein flex and tein ss models is the flex includes pillowball mounts. What exactly are these and are they absolutely worth the +$500 extra? Thanks!

Been looking around for a sawblade replacement for my black '88 supra. How do you guys think these will look on it? http://enkei.com/jpeg%20files/Wheels/EVO%205%20hs1.jpg About $140 apiece I think
