alright cool, I've read a couple things saying I could remove the rad, empty, and stick a hose against the bottom to flush out the top, any other recommendations for cleaning a rad as its brand new from last year and don't really want to replace it. I'll pick up a shroud too.

Hey guys, I've done quite a bit of searching and it looks like I found found some possible answers BUT I still feel the need to ask some stuff directly related to my problem. I have an 87 supra, jdm engine ~60k kms. I am not loosing coolant and I have checked the symptoms for BHG, everything...

My rear rotors and pads are getting tired but I'm gonna try and stretch em till next year, simply because I'll have the winter to find a good deal/save the extra cash for the evo set up...I mean they are ONLY rear brakes, not like we need em

I looked into the evo rears, decided I'd wait until next year lol, the rear setup was going to cost me more than the fronts did!

that's the same guy i bought mine off of, same calipers too. He definitely noticed them being bought up more and more recently and upped his price because I noticed they started from ~75 and have climbed to as high as ~150

that sounds good, I was just worried about tapping into the factory harness, sounds permanent:p

Hey guys, does anyone have any pictures of their install, ie where you installed it in your car, and whether you made a harness or just cut up yours etc. i'm thinking about biting the bullet on one of these

I finally did a well needed exterior detail. First time since owning the car. Full wash, compound, pre wax and wax. Here are a couple before and afters. Before: After:

I just used a new stock one and have had no problems so far.

I'm super impressed, they have a better pedal feel and when I step on the brakes it really stops, I havent tried locking up the tires yet but I think my abs kicked in once and everything reacted exactly as I would have liked. I feel like the stopping power is very linear and predictable, which...

Hey guys, I finally got everything bolted up and working and now I am finally getting to posting my pics.

Ahh alright and can I leave that unbolted?

Hey guys am I missing something? I'm installing the kit now and there is no way my stock lines are long enough I'm stretching them too much to make it fit

Yeah I played around with a couple different colors and decals; Brembo, TRD, Supra. Decided black caliper and supra for now, I'm still torn between supra and TRD, once they're on the car I'll decided whether to take it off, strip and re-decal them lol

i posted a couple posts back asking about painting and whatnot, I thought I'd post a picture of one of the completed calipers. I used 2 coats of black caliper paint, A high heat vinyl sticker, and now I am about to put on a coat of clear gloss high heat paint

quick question, how are you guys going on about cleaning your used calipers, I tried soapy water and brake cleaner so far

ahhhh, alright, well then just take my post as a good review towards jdm haha, also I didn't get turbos wiht my swap, didn't need one, so no blown turbos yet.

I'll chip in and say I bought a JDM engine, wasnt a 1j but a 7m. I went to a couple places and everything just seemed sketchy, I ended up picking a place called Osaka JDM here in montreal canada, I spoke back and forth with them a couple times and when the time came for the engine to be bought...

alright I bit the bullet before this guy realizes all his calipers are selling like wildfire and he decides to increase the price;) I have a set of 17 inch Enkei rims so I`ll check out the fitment on those, thanks for the tip.

hey guys I'm looking to pick up a pair of these, I see a couple listings on ebay but the all have different #'s example the 2 posted further up here had #72 and #73, on ebay I see 48, 71, 59, 63. Not sure what to look for, thanks.
