    Ebay Item advice

    I bought mine from 88rotors about 6-8 months ago... no problems. I will probably be swapping up in the future though for a more aggressive compound.... maybe some brembo blanks and green stuff pads. For a minor stock upgrade, ya cant go wrong... they do the job. you get what you pay for, its a...

    how many of you people changed since you first got onto SM?

    Supramania was my first experience using any type of forum so i'd say i changed alot since i started here. I also feel like i learned alot about cars in general, in addition to general supra maintenence and operation. This forum is definately one of the best things ive ever discovered. The...

    junk yard mods??

    the reason you can get junkyard mods for them is because they arent meant to perform initially. There are Performance parts from other cars like the 300zx that will fit on the 240 for example. The supra is a performance vehicle, therefore our parts are already made for performance. they are...

    Milling the head too much? Below "spec"...

    well the matter of compression isnt your only problem. as im sure you know, the less head you have up there, the harder it is to dissipate the heat. We already have the problem of the head expanding faster than the block by nature of the metals, but if theres less metal making up the head, its...

    Interesting Noise (video inside)

    valvetrain noise=twice the speed of crankshaft noise... that kinda sounds too rapid to be bottom end. Try going to autozone or whatever and getting a stethoscope with the long end and try to pinpoint where its loudest. Good luck with the diag and fix

    13.9 sec mkiii lexus afm with 440 engine did not blow???

    sounds pretty risky to me, especially if you didnt tune, use 550's, or upgraded fuel delivery. actually i change my accusation from risky to stupid. Even if you didnt "blow the engine" you could be doing some damage in there. Probably softening up the top of the pistons. Keep it up and your...

    buying tires...

    well at first i was like man they look too big, but they really fill out the wheel wells like wider wheels would and it give the car a muscular beefy stance. It's grown on me since i got em and im really impressed with how they handle. Cant wait till my new engine gets here so i can cut em loose...

    Xarewhyayen's rebuild

    30 psi... ouch...thats REALLY bad. When do you plan to buy the motor? I'd talk to ron about it, as my motor(the Rabid) is still in the R-C machine shop as we speak. You might want to make sure they have one in stock when you decide to go for it.
