    A/F gauge worth it?

    TEMS to non-TEMS?

    Yeah, I'm probly gonna ditch it.. I'm the only one who can really notice a difference between 3 bars firm, an full soft.. Plus the only struts compat. with it are like, 130ish a peice.. If i'm gonna spend that much on suspension i'll go coilover. For now i'm just gonna go with a good non-TEMS...

    TEMS to non-TEMS?

    I have an 88 with the TEMS system, currently my supra hops more than anything going over speedbumps, and bottoms out constantly on small dips. I'd like to get a strut compatible with the TEMS (tokiko) but they're a bit too expensive for me at the moment. Is there any benefit to converting...

    Best brake pads for..

    I think i'm gonna go with the VGX metallic pads i had on my talon with CD/SL rotors.. Either that or organic pads if i can find them for a good price.

    I live in FL, my supra has a jdm motor with no emissions, or exhaust for that matter.. Its suprisingly quiet, and cops dont mind.. as long as your not being an ass they wont mess with you.

    JDM Digital dash

    Chances are i'm not going to do it... I need this car to be my daily, and I cant afford it to be down. Let me know if you want it though, i'll get it from the guy. I think it has around 40k on it, and works fine. Came with the front clip.

    Best brake pads for..

    I was wondering what your guys' opinion on this is.. I ordered a set of Crossdrilled/slotted rotors for my Supra, as my OEM rotors are warped and have grooves in them. SO i'd like to know what the best type/brand of pad would be to go with it.. Organic? Metallic? Semi-metallic? Which one...

    JDM Digital dash

    Hey.. I was wondering if there was any way to make the JDM digital dash work on USDM supras? I have a friend (the guy who sold me the car) giving me a whole JDM front clip off a 91, which includes the dash an such. He was telling me the hump for the steering wheel doesnt line up, and the...

    Lightweight Driveshafts "worth it"?

    I have the aluminum 1peice from Suprasport.com, they order from the driveshaft shop.. i'm sure HPfreaks order through the same plac.e But yes it did make a noticable difference, mostly in the way the clutch engages/starting out..

    PVC IC piping

    Yep, thats what the JBLMK3 site suggested, i'm gonna try it. I think anything to lower the underhood temps will help.. as I live in FL, and it needs every bit of help it can get.

    PVC IC piping

    Thats what i'm talkin about, thanks for the sugg. MDC motorsports, i might just do the upper one in PVC, paint it a nice color so it doesnt look toyish, and use exhaust piping for the lower ICpipe.. I'm also thinking about wrapping the turbo in that special "Turbo Blanket" they sell.. to lower...

    PVC IC piping

    I cant tell if your being sarcastic or not, so could you explain how it gives MK3 owners a bad name? It seems like a pretty good upgrade for less than 30$.. for those of us who cant afford 200-300$ for custom metal pipes..
